I feel like when a lot of us are trying to attract a specific person, we have a tendency of forcing things.  Whether it's intimacy, flirting, expressing feelings, etc.      one thing I've realized is, you just have to take it as it comes

For example, sometimes the girl I like flirts,etc.  but other times, it's just a normal convo.    You really just have to go with what's happening.     Forcing things is never good and very rarely if ever works

There's no need to rush things
