Also, if the hike goes well--it is your turn to ask her to do something fun. Dating is about putting ourselves out there and seeing what happens. Sometimes it's awkward but the way to "get experience" is to just ask girls out and try to learn from each experience. My experience is that the way we get "hurt" is when one person falls for the other but, for whatever reason, it doesn't work out. However, even when we get hurt--we learn about ourselves when we put ourselves out there. Don't be afraid to take a risk.
