tip: always be a gentlemen. be honest, don't rush, don't do something you don't like, and most important don't be afraid nor hesitate.
I'm just now getting back into dating myself. Currently on first girl atm and it's kinda scary as I have been out of practice for quite some time. I don't feel sparks but I do enjoy the companionship. Still working hard getting over my issues and removing those old barriers that I built up on myself.
The thing is, gotta stick to it and do what your heart tells you.
