Met a girl off an app. Minimal texting beforehand but she was receptive to meeting. We went to a cozy tea spot — good setting for conversation.

She talked a lot about herself, didn’t ask much about me, but seemed comfortable physically — she didn’t pull away when I touched her hand or put my arm around her. After about 1h30 of talking, I put my arm around her again, she smiled and leaned in, so a few minutes later I went for a kiss. She kissed back for about 5–6 seconds, then stopped and said she doesn’t usually do that on a first date and that we’re not doing it again.

I brushed it off as a composure test and kept things light. About 10 minutes later I tried again; she kissed me briefly (2 seconds, no tongue) and repeated that she’s not doing it again. I assumed she was still testing, so I went for it two more times later on — both times she turned her head and said “no, too early.”

I stopped after that. She didn’t seem upset or cold; we kept talking normally until the end of the date (~2 hours total). When we left, she called the Bolt to her place, we hugged for a while, and she said “we’ll see each other when we see each other.

Curious how you’d interpret her behavior — genuine boundary, low interest, or mixed signals I misread?
