He DID state that he lives in a place where arranged marriages are the norm. I think it's just that neither of these 2 people have much 'courting' and dating experience...so it's awkward for both of them.


Neither of them WANT to be embarrassed, and probably both of them WERE embarrassed. Like I said earlier, he needs a do-over.


I really don't think 'creepy' was a factor. Mostly...it was confusion. IMHO.

Just don't make a huge, serious deal about it, though, to make it more awkward. Acknowledge it, but play it of and move on to another subject.

That's why you need to just be normal and DE-ESCALATE.

Imagine if you were in HER place, and think about how you would want her to act around you now if she did what you did. Stop trying to guess what she's feeling and thinking and just be courteous and friendly.

After you do that and re-establish a friendly rapport, you can think about trying to show interest.

Yes. She is a person, just like you are. She's not a magical fantasy creature or an alien from another galaxy.

Treat her the way you would want to be treated.
