About a month ago I met this girl (I am a female sedditor) who really liked me so I thought I should give it a shot to see if we could make each other happy. But after going on a couple dates with her I’ve found out that I SUCK. She’s 18 and I’m 20. She just came here a couple months ago from South East Asia. When I go out with her she’s very receptive to me since she was a yes girl from the beginning. I don’t have any issues with physical escalation since she’s into me. But I have a really hard time leading her. Not because she gives any resistance or is head strong. She’s fairly sub. I just don’t know what to say to her most of the time. I want to develop a better emotional connection with her but it’s hard having a meaningful conversation with her. I know part of it is due to her not having much life experience. But most of it is due to me not being able to illicit proper emotional responses from her. Either our conversation are shallow talks about work or she talks about her family (she doesn’t have any friends here she just goes to work then home) or I go to far and start talking about my views on life which she doesn’t really understand. My male partner older than I am so I have gotten used to talking about things like geo politics, familial structures, existentialism, etc. She’s not that much younger than I am but she comes from a good family, didn’t have many struggles so doesn’t know much about the world. How can I work on building a relationship with her so we can emotionally connect better ?? Please help!! I’m very lost when it comes to her.
