NUSWhispers – Confession #64863

I've a question for the ladies, guy here by the way. What sort of "assurances" does females seek in a relationship/ dating phase? The girl and I were quite good friends, and after finally plucking up my courage, I asked her if she was interested to date. She did not give me a direct answer, but she said yes one week later. Prior to dating her, I've been single all the way and have never been in a relationship before. She was practically my first date (considering I'm already in my mid-twenties). After 2-3months, she broke it off citing that she didn't get the "assurances" from me. I reflected after and kind of realised that while our status changed, my actions were kind of still in the good friends stage. I've totally no idea what went wrong and what sort of "assurances" females seek. Haalp.
