Even trying for a kiss when I don’t expect it to work always sends the right signal. When she notices me leaning in and hesitates, no problem—now she knows what I’m about. She senses that I’m bold, intentional, and unwilling to play endless guessing games. If she chooses to see me again, she’s already accepted that kind of confident energy. It sets a rhythm for the interaction—a natural understanding that keeps curiosity alive and makes escalation smoother later on.
