I'm still not motivated enough to hit the locals bars alone (I have no wing), so I've been working the net. What the heck, anything that gets you numbers, and dates, is forward progress.

Last Saturday night I reported on a first date that ended with the f-close at my place. Use protection gentlemen, I'm glad I did. Post date, last week, she wanted to meet again, and I didn't respond. I'll keep her in reserve.

I settled on a slim one for last night, and we met at a bar/restaurant near here place around 6:30. We had good rapport, obvious IOIs, and I had a couple light beers and we nibbled on popcorn. We hadn't decided on what to do afterward, and my goal was to go back to her place for snuggling, etc. She was up for that, and I had a nice relaxing evening doing nothing more than some light kissing/snuggling.

She had some serious issues though, and she didn't want to go further, and I respected that. The weather was lousy so I slept on her couch (she wouldn't let me share her bed) and I took off in the morning.

I was all up for an f-close but it didn't happen. I could have pushed harder, but, I had to make the call about the pace of things, and it wasn't the right move here. I wouldn't have felt good about it. I'll let her contact me for our next date. Lets see if my demonstration of restraint gets me in next time.

There was no next time. I was terminated. She was kind of screwed up anyway, no loss. Just more practice.
