Admitting that you like each other isn’t enough, when neither party has asked the other out on a date.

Meeting and socializing on a one on one basis is the next step.

Though you like each other, there is a fear within you that romantic chemistry isn’t assured to be present between you.

This doubtful thinking doesn’t do you any favors.

When communication is relegated to quick five minute discussions as you pass by each other, or through discussions over social media or the phone, you are wasting precious time.

It’s time to start interacting with each other in a dating atmosphere.

When you have real world experiences together, it is easier for you to pick up on whether there is romantic chemistry.

Being nervous about taking things to this next level is natural.

You are happy that you like each other, but worried that everything could be ruined if you started dating each other.

Notwithstanding, you have to take that chance.

If you delay, you run the risk of letting this opening for romance pass you by, leading to the relationship transitioning into one that is platonic in nature.

This is what happens when there is a delay.

It reaches a juncture where neither party is eager to make the next move towards romance.

As a result, someone’s interest is bound to wane and consequently disappear.

This is someone that finally resorts to dating someone else, being that neither one of you was keen on taking the next step.

Don’t let it get this far.

If you have both admitted to liking each other, go out on a date as soon as possible.

Keep it simple.

There is no need to plan out an elaborate date.

Meet for coffee or juice and have a chat.

Have a picnic at the local park.

Go on a walk together.

Find a place to watch the sun go down as you share a glass of wine.

There are so many dating ideas that don’t require a bunch of planning.

It is better to keep it uncomplicated at the outset.

This is where a bevy of people make the mistake.

He believes that it is best to plot out an elaborate date, being that it is the first one.

Inevitably, he gets so caught up and worried that this elaborate date is going to fail, he ends up not going through with it at all.

Never fall into this trap yourself, nor give him the impression that you would want an elaborate date.

In the event he agrees to go out on a date with you, don’t immediately assume that sparks are going to fly the moment on your very first date.

Sometimes, it takes a few more dates for either party to get comfortable with each other.

Allow the dating process to unfold naturally, without either one of you pushing it in any preordained direction.

When there is chemistry, there is an effortlessness to the conversations, and you are bound to feel it.
