I'm in college. My girlfriend and I have now been dating for just over 6 months. We go to separate schools, and thanksgiving will be the first time we see each other since august. Over the summer we got as far as long shirtless sessions. Towards the end of the summer however, I felt ready to move on to bigger things. I felt like while I'd make an effort to "engage" her body all over, she always acted like I was just a head. Now that it's been about 3 months we're both extremely anxious to see each other, but I feel like she just wants to keep things as "perfect" as they were last summer, not try anything new. What I'm trying to figure out, is possible ways I could at least give her a hint as to what I feel we're ready for. I don't want to pressure, just want to let her know (without just out and saying it) that it's up to her to progress our relationship. Long distances are hard to make work, and not to sound selfish or anything, but I'm getting to the point where all those passed up opportunities in college are starting to look more and more appealing.
