I mean I think the key thing you're missing is she's a long time friend. Probably between the time you guys skinny dipped and started making out on the dock, she didn't think through much what she was doing, just went with the flow. But that break between making out and going back to the room together, she had time to process everything and maybe started thinking it was a mistake/you're risking your friendship/realized she has feelings that complicates things. I think by that point her thoughts were probably very scattered and she wanted to stop to have time to think. You should ask her how she's doing and what she thought about the experience. Be honest with her that you enjoyed it, and would like to have it happen again if she's down. Mention something about the friendship (do you want a relationship with her? Are you scared about risking losing your friendship? Are you just wanting to fuck?) If you open up about your feelings she likely will too. And she may reject it! She may want things to stop, and move past it. You have to be ready for anything.

I feel like this is the most reasonable comment based on how the emotions were that night! She invited me back out to the lake this weekend probably to see where things go. I’ll ask her how she feels about the way things are going, say that I’m enjoying it and want to see where it could go if we did start dating. So glad there’s ladies like yourself here to answer these questions and help us guys out!
[–]twinkie_doodle 14 points15 points16 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Of course! Glad you found it helpful and I wish you the best! Her inviting you back there is a great sign lol, I think based on that alone she is definitely interested in something more!
[–]Mitchmac21 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I totally agree and that’s the way I’m viewing it! She even called me out of the blue which she never does just to ask me if I wanted to come back this weekend 🤷♂️ I’d say it’s a pretty good sign

Somewhere else on Reddit there’s a thread, “I made out naked on the dock and even went to bed with him naked and he wouldn’t make the move and didn’t have sex with me, he must not want me”
[–]Mitchmac21 17 points18 points19 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Lmao I hope not 😆
[–]Maloria9 22 points23 points24 points 3 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Or maybe the thread says, “Guy made out with me on the dock but I could tell it was all just a precursor to sex.” Women aren’t stupid, generally. They can smell the intent.
[–]cyrusm_az 8 points9 points10 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Did you catch the part where they made out naked on the dock? Even risking public indecency charges
[+]Maloria9 -8 points-7 points-6 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I did catch that part, and that’s great. I’m glad OP was able to share that moment her. However, women can start to feel used if they sense that making out on the dock isn’t enough in the moment. Hell, anyone could start to feel used if they sense that the other person is aiming to take that next step all the time. I think OP will be successful in figuring out things, as he stated that she invited him back out. Maybe there was a hiccup along the way or a misunderstanding, but it seems that OP will get another chance to spend time with her and they’ll both hopefully clear things up between them.

Haha nah mate you got it all wrong, we both have pretty wild personalities and find things like skinny dipping to be a good time even when we’re just friends. You should try it sometime, me and my friends go all the time.
[–]TheProMxn 61 points62 points63 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Maybe try take her hand hold it together and then say doesn’t that feel good and go in for a kiss
[–]Mitchmac21 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Worth a shot!
[–]atomant88 89 points90 points91 points 3 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
how did you end up cuddling in the bed with no sex? you skipped a step man
work on your verbal game. seduce her with your words. work on your sensual game; backrubs and foot massages are your friend. work on your sex talk; get her in the mood. make sure youre building intimacy. and make sure youre asking for consent before you touch her so she feels respected, and knows you have communication skills and confidence.
this sounds like a huge lack of fundamentals dude. these are really basic things.
obviously youre doing something right to get to this position. but go back and review the basics. signal intent, build attraction, escalate with consent. if she's saying 'no' then you havent built enough attraction, trust, and intimacy
[–]Mitchmac21 32 points33 points34 points 3 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I think you’re totally right on this one. Probably just didn’t build up enough intimacy for it to get me there. I haven’t studied this stuff like it seems you have haha. I was just hoping someone could point me in the direction of where I went wrong so I could look into it! Thank you for that!

The one for this sub
[–]AdhesivenessRecent89 28 points29 points30 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
She’s keeping you in the friend zone, mate. Honestly, your moment was at the dock, naked, making out. Putting it in was then and there. You’re game is on point. Your timing is off. Take that leap, hombre. If she doesn’t want it, she doesn’t want it. Move on.
[–]Mitchmac21 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You know, you can’t always be so negative when you weren’t in the situation. She called me out of the blue yesterday just to ask me to head back there this weekend

There’s a concept (i might not get all the details right) but it’s about indications of interest and disinterest. If she communicates either physically or verbally that she’s disinterested, you do the same. It’s a dance. She pulls away, you pull away and wait. She shows interest after that by touching you somehow, pull her in to you. Went too far and she started to pull away? Back off a bit. Never act hurt. Almost be indifferent with the disinterest as though you really couldn’t care less. With the indications of interest, always escalate to the next level. Not 1000 level jumps at once though.
[–]great_account 18 points19 points20 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
In my experience, if you kiss her right, she will get wet and want to fuck. Don't be in a rush to do the deed. Chill, enjoy the make out. Kiss her neck. Nibble on her ears. Reach under her shirt. Touch her slowly. It has to take some time before she'll feel comfortable and horny enough to do it, but when you do it right, she'll jump on top of you.
[–]prime_pineapple 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I’m going to give you the best advice I’ve ever got, when your in a position like that grey areas suck so just be blunt “do you wanna keep going” “what do you want to do now” “can I Fuck you?” Or some variation of that, because if it’s a no it was always going to be a no and if it’s a yes now you have verbal consent and no confusion on what they want to do. It’s never wrong to ask
I totally agree and next time this is going to happen
[–]junkfoodlover 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think the mistake was made when you left the dock. During the time to get back to the room, it probably hit her that she was maybe making a mistake since you guys are friends.
[–]hermitnerd1 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Just stick the the classic, “start making out and slowly start feeling her up, tits, ass, thighs, and then pussy, all while making out. Or start making out then move to the neck, also some women like ears played. Seriously
Did all that when we were on the dock but I feel like by the time we made it back to bed she was unsure
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Do ……absolutely…….. nothing.
If you get pushy she cud call sexual assault.if she wants to have sex she will have sex yIf she doesnt ,she wont.
[–]Quick_Watercress_932 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Give her the space she needs, she will respect you for honoring her wishes. If you want to have sex ask if she wants to have sex and that should be the end of the problem. “She didn’t say no out loud” isn’t a yes and any yes you get after you’ve tried to convince her to change her mind from “no” will be disingenuous. Women want to be wanted but they don’t like to be questioned about how they feel when they are certain and they definitely don’t like men they have to babysit.
[–]Mitchmac21 -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes I totally agree
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
If you can’t close after being naked and lying in bed together, then you’re doing something wrong.
Kinda hard with a long time friend when new feelings come up like this. She was obviously having second thoughts
[–]ListenFar8633 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Literally just ask. Ask her if she want to make out when the moment feels right, and go from there. It’s all about escalating to the next level of horny action. Beyond that if she isn’t interested, just let it go.
[–]akzudil 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
dude ask if they’re alright with it. literally just talk about it.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Slow down
[–]atomant88 7 points8 points9 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
he's already dead in the water what do you mean 'slow down'? he needs to SPEED UP ! as long as hes asking for consent its all good. but always make the attempt to escalate
[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Slow down.
[–]SadSniper 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She is cold and doesn't realize that its a two player game.
[–]CocoBabeNYC -2 points-1 points0 points 3 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Kick her out. It's better to go play video games or masturbate than to deal with this BS. You are all so afraid you will offend some chick who isn't even willing to fuck you. Like you could get less sex from her.
[–]Maloria9 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It’s like it’s unacceptable for someone to have a functioning brain

God forbid women have choices each step of the way
Sounds like someone needs to get laid but is having a hard time with that attitude 😬
[+][deleted] -6 points-5 points-4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
this, a chick was on top of me in my truck making out with me then she gets off me sits on the seat and was like idk and i was like get out hahaha
[–]21383029582873 -4 points-3 points-2 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
wouldn’t reciprocate?
like said “no” or just didn’t move?
just keep going if latter: once you start sucking on the nipples you’ll get a reaction
[–]Mitchmac21 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Just didn’t move. We’ve been friends for a long time and I didn’t want to make the situation uncomfortable so I chose to stop before I was told to.
[–]chii1 21 points22 points23 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I mean..... just ask her if shes okay if you keep going...? Tell her you want her..???? Be vulnerable and hope for the best....?
[–]21383029582873 15 points16 points17 points 3 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
i’m guessing my downvotes are because “consent” but damn guys. you have to read the room. if you’re making out naked on the docks, then back in bed together, then she wants to be together too. girls aren’t “accidentally making out and in your bed” because she’s too “scared to say no”.
she’s just quiet because she’s shy/inexperienced/embarrassed. esp if you’ve been friends for a while. she needs you to take the lead and break the awkwardness.
so whisper some “baby, are you okay” and “fuck i want you” and “you are so damn fine” and kiss her some more.
you have to be verbal, tho — and you need to be genuine and passionate and feral
she wants to hear the words. and then once you create the safe space to be wild, she will too.
[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points-2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If she’s on the edge of the bed, let her head hang off the side and hit that shit.
[–]babyarmnate 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You don’t. If she doesn’t want to have sex, don’t have sex.
[–]Justwatchinitallgoby 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Why you trying to fuck your friends? Seriously?
Often The best way to get laid is not care if you do or not. You did the right thing here by accepting her lack of response to your move.
[–]Southofsouth 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Grab her hand. Put it on your dick.
[–]Superb-End6273 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
If she's on the edge about sex your probably too far ahead and impatient. There is mental side of sex so you have get her comfortable and make her feel like she could be vulnerable around you. This is because sex is the most vulnerable position a human can be put in and when they reach their climax that's basically them releasing and opening up. However, it has to happen within her mind first. Same would apply to you... if you weren't comfortable and felt on edge you'd probably struggle just letting go. This is the reason why some men just can't get hard at the moment and why some women just can't get wet at the moment.
Also to address your story some girls are fine with just making out however when you try to have sex with them that is a big jump. So, comfortability and interest are key factors here for you and her.
