I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?

Aww yay! Enjoy yourself OP :) I was similar in that I didn’t date women for a while so was super nervous. My, now gf, initiated on the second date and the rest is history...my understanding (hopefully others chime in) is that women can be timid to initiate when they’re with each other, so someone kind of just has to bite the bullet and do it!

Did you let her know that you were nervous? I'm thinking about letting my date know that I really like her but I haven't been with women before so hopefully she can do the initiating at first. Not sure if that's the right move tho😅

Ummm yes! Drink but be sober enough to do more touching, leaning in for eye contact so you know when to move in for more. Enjoy!

You got this, OP :).
I recon you should make a move if you’re really into her and you feel that she’s into you.. don’t overthink it. Go for a walk/walk her to her car after your date, hold hands and pull her in when it feels right..or she might.
For context, I kissed my now wife on our first date.. it worked out :)

But it still hurts so much right now 💔 I could use some extra support today

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)
