Tips for dating an inexperienced/shy guy?
On the weekend I had a first date with a guy. We got on really well. We met through an online dating site and he mentioned that he hasn't had much relationship experience. He also seemed kind of shy - I had to sort of prompt him to see if he wanted to meet up. Once I suggested it, he went ahead and organised the date.
Then after the date, he said "we'll see what happens". Usually I'd assume that means no second date, but he texted me after and said he had a nice time. So I suggested that maybe we could catch up again sometime and he proposed next weekend.
I'm not particularly experienced myself and so it's kind of nice to find someone around my age who has the same level of experience that I do. I just find it a bit ... different, I guess ... to come across a seemingly shyer guy.
Any tips from shy/inexperienced guys? Any tips from people who have dated shy/inexperienced guys? Do I keep suggesting things, or take a step back and see what he does?

Just take it slow, you can suggest things if you want to, but give him time to get to know you and to let him open up.

Best way to get to know an "inexperienced" guy is don't try to get to know him. All he wants is for you to be you. And in that way, he will be himself.

Ask questions. It helps open things up a whole lot quicker. Once he gets more comfortable he'll start taking more conversational initiative. It's the beginning that's hard.
