You can't read minds and neither can they. Verbalize how the date is going from your perspective. "I'm having a really great time" puts the other party at ease that they're being appreciated. Initiate simple contact like hand holding from the restaurant too the car etc. Don't make the kiss goodnight the last chance at first physical contact.

Focus on making today peaceful and safe and tomorrow happy. You have suffered through a lot but as you get older, these wounds will become less fresh. As someone who dealt with a lot of abuse, don't let them have anymore time in your head than they already got. Be free. You don't owe your parents a thing. Good luck and I wish you a bright and happy future.

How old are you now?

When's the GLE 350de coming to the states?
