I hope two posts in a day isn’t against rules but here go:

-Is it valid to go from hugging at the end of the first date to a hug AND a kiss while greeting each other at date 2?

-If there’s a 9” height difference how should I hug her? Arms around her waist and pull her in firmly? Or one arm near the shoulders and the other at her waist? I’d like to kiss her if appropriate so keep that in mind.

-She’s coming over to watch a movie but it’s clear there’s more on the table than just that. What’s a good way to get things in the mood after I’ve put my arm around her shoulder? My weakness is shifting the conversation to be sexual or sex-adjacent without it coming up out of the blue.

-How long should you wait to make moves while watching a show or movie? 30 minutes in? An hour? I’ve wasted time in the past so I’m trying to get more efficient.

-Is it weird to invite her to stay the night after sex or should I let her bring it up if she wants to stay?

-What are you supposed to talk about while cuddling after sex? Assuming you’ve already discussed the act itself and what you liked.

I know I’m too old to be asking these kinds of questions but I’m neurodivergent and I need things spelled out for me to truly understand so sorry if it’s cringe. Once more I’m sorry if these questions are too specific but I tried to word them broadly enough to apply to all my future hookups. Delete if necessary though
