I have my third date tomorrow and I'm so excited. I met this guy online and he's adorable, charming, smart, funny, and respectful. I just found a good one I think.

I invited him over for dinner and a movie, but then remembered I'm in between kitchen dining room sets..I sold mine and having another one delivered on Sunday. Would it be weird to eat at the couch or at the coffee table?

W haven't kissed yet and I really just want to grab him when I see him tomorrow night. I just wanna snuggle with him and watch tv. I'm also a little nervous. I am it super affectionate so I tend to hear from guys, that they don't think I'm interested. I don't want to come on too strong, so I tend to just go say too casual and wait for him to make a move. Advice?

Oooh, am excited for you! Great news, am glad you're getting a good vibe :-)

I think 3rd date, and it being at your house, is perfectly ok to give him a cuddle! Perhaps give him a quick hug at the door as he arrives, a welcoming one, or a welcoming peck on the cheek or lips? See how he responds to that?

He may also think that it's ok to get a little more snuggly tomorrow - I mean, inviting him around for dinner and movie, where you are both in private is a clear message that things are ok to move along a bit.

And don't worry about the lack of dinner tables. My fella from day one have always eaten off our laps or a low coffee table as neither of us ever owned a dinner table.I kinda liked that it was relaxed.

Have a wonderful time Doggie, hope all goes well!
Thanks for this!

I think the coffee table situation is not only "OK", but, actually, beneficial, because it provides for instant closeness, for one (physically - the coffee table is small, so you will sit close together), and, for another, is less formal than a full-fledged dining set (which makes for more non-physical closeness).

Waiting to hear from you Doggie!!
Thanks for this!

What they said. ^

Yeah, give him a hug when he shows up and that will let you gauge how comfortable he is with contact. It's not pushy. He might actually be holding back to make sure he doesn't make you uncomfortable.
Thanks for this!

Date went really great. He was able to come over earlier than expected, around 4:30 bc we both got out of work at 4. So that was cool, he missed some of the traffic vs if he traveled later in the evening. He's only 20 min away but it's bad during rush hour.

Anywho, he came and gave me an orchid plant- it's really nice. He said he stopped for flowers and saw the plant and liked it. How sweet, right? He said hi to my dog, and then we went to eat. Dinner was really nice and relaxed. He's really good at talking - an easy person to have a conversation with.

Then we went home and walked the dog- his suggestion, which is bonus points in my book. And then we watched a few episodes of Breaking Bad on the couch and snuggled. No kissing, until I walked him out to his car...then we hugged, and he kissed me under the lamp post. My dog barked so that scared us, I joking said we'll have to pick a better spot to kiss next time so as not to be directly under the street light

Just a great night. I think he likes me a lot. I have a job interview in the next state over, next Wed. It's a great job, a really cool and young city...but he was like, na, I don't think u wanna go to that city and winked. I think it was his way of saying he likes me and wants to see where this goes. It was cute. Anyhow, I'm still going on the interview, but who knows.

I'm headed for bed. Super long day. Thanks for the support y'all!
