S My sense is that GIMA would have a stronger chance at success if he could move into flirty territory (more affectionate physical contact) before broaching the "where are we going" convo?
And maybe - just maybe - you've been so noble, selfless, and patient in your approach that perhaps she might find you "manning up" (in the good sense) and taking the lead somewhat comforting and attractive.
Really just a wild guess I'm throwing out, here.
