My soon to be ex wife left me for another man in June after 15 years together. It was pretty devastating.

I've had a decent amount of luck meeting women and going out with them and I even dated one steadily for a month a few months ago.

Trouble is, besides that one time where she pretty much made sure we got together, I haven't had much luck closing any deals beyond initial attraction.

It's like the woman will give me a chance and I blow it? I was talking with one woman, "A" who I REALLY like. We went out a few times and it's always a lot of fun, literally out all night. It's like I miss my chance to make a move. I lose my confidence. We hug and she even fell asleep in my arms last weekend. Need to kiss her, though, but how!?

Next girl, "B" and I met on New Year's Eve and I liked her from the start. We hit it off last night at another group meet up and ended up texting all day today and she invited me over tonight to watch a movie. We sat and talked and ate pizza and watched the movie. It was all good.

I'm sooo used to bring just friends with women because I was married that I don't really know how to put the moves on them anymore. It's very frustrating! And it's giving them the wrong impression that I'm not interested!

Part of it is certainly that I don't want to move too far like I did with the first girl a few months ago. That was a flash in the pan. We slept together first night out, then fizzled. I don't want that with either A or B. At this point, I know then both well enough such that I'd date either of them. Just don't know how to make that first move.

Ugh. What do I do? Like literally, step by step, what can I do?
