why are you overthinking it? just ask her out..not lunch..dinner. as for conversation, just let it flow..who cares who or how things get going..just do it.

I've known guys who play hot and cold. Not sure what to think, but I just leave it up to them to make up their minds if they want or continue playing the game. It's all good. I go about my business as usual.

Just let her set the pace of how fast it will go. Some will go slow, others will go very fast.

you don't have to project it, it manifests itself in all kinds of weird ways. trust me, I've been in her shoes and its annoying, lol. Just be yourself and act like you can have her.

It's very easy. Take the initiative and see how the other one responds. Then go at his/her pace if it suits you. If it doesn't AND you don't like it (which likely will make you needy), perhaps it's time to move on.

"Neediness" is not an absolute term. It's relative to another person. It's normally something proclaimed by the one who is less invested in the relationship or they're just very incompatible people who shouldn't be together in the first place. If 2 people want to spend every waking minute together and that makes them happy, it's nobody's business to clasify them.

I'll bet my bottom penny you'll be more than happy to have somebody "needy" if you're really into him.
