So, I've (29) been seeing/dating a girl (25) from hinge, who was my neighbor in the same community and we matched one week before I moved to different part of the same city but live still pretty closer from old place. We went on three dates so far, supposed to have 4th date on Sunday but she was unwell. But have planned 4th date to walk around and get frozen yogurt this Thursday in the old apartment community area.
Our texting is well, she doesn't respond dry at all but takes her time like 1-2 hour to respond, she gave me her number after the first date herself and every time we met, the date has gone really well with spending more than 2-3 hours together laughing and giggling, and have picked her twice for the date. She always mentions that she loves to hangout with me and my pup and she enjoys the time spent together and our conversations have been effortless and have shared each other's family history and how we match in many aspects like activities, cooking and family lifestyle and future goals (she's more strong headed about career than me but still...) Her mom once saw me with the pup (while mom was helping her move-in) and said that she should talk to me as I appeared cute to them, about going out together and see how things go (mentioned this thrice in two dates). She likes Indian desserts and offered her my Indian cooking (I'm an Indian guy with really great cooking skills) and she's looking forward for my cooking. I gave her a dessert that her family liked and they said thanks to me for it.
During the window shopping date, she was looking for a dress and I picked her out the perfect size but she said she'll order it online and ended up getting L and later messaged me saying I picked her the perfect size, which gave me butterflies and felt like cute thing to me when she mentioned it.
I really started liking her and she's someone that I would see myself with being and after second date I went exclusive and haven't been seeing or matched with anyone, I'm assuming the same with her but after second date she unmatched with me on hinge so not sure what's the case on her end but we have been still texting from there on. Btw we haven't kissed so far yet, but I felt like kissing after the third date when I dropped her back home, but I'm that kind of a person who won't look back once I kiss her and be all in. My sister knows about the woman and her mother knows about me. Our dating intentions align from what I assessed in three dates, which is long term.
So, how should I ask her what she's looking for? And how should I mention that I've already been exclusive and would like to see if she would be interested in doing the same? Should I just go for kiss next time I see her off for the night after the date?
Little confused if I should ask her these questions and then also kiss her. Don't want her to be taken aback in anyway. My intentions here are innocent nothing meant in wrong way. Apologies if they are
P.S. I haven't seen anything on her hinge profile regarding her dating intensions but just before second date I did see her bumble profile which said "not against casual but not for me and hope you find that". I give bear hugs and think she likes it because whenever we hugged I definitely felt the intimate and strong hold of hers while being hugged.
