Hey guys. First post here, it may go a little long. I'll just give you the background of my situation and what's happened so far. Let me know what I could have done differently and what I should do in the future.

Back in high school I was in the band, and a student teacher Lauren came in to work with some people. We got along real well, had similar interests, and I was pretty much her favorite student. We had some jokes going where she'd call me the coolest person in the world. It was all sort of flirtatious, but I was technically a student of hers and I was 15 and she was 20, so nothing really happened.

Well, it's been 8 years now. We've been living in different states, and we recently met up at an alumni concert. She messaged me afterward saying we should go have some beers and catch up, since she's in town for the summer. We met at a local place, drank and talked and had a good time. I picked up the tab at the end. Afterward she had to go cause she had an early day and work to do (I do believe this was true, she has a very busy law job).

This Saturday is a CD release event for a musician I'm friends with. I told Lauren she should come and she's pretty excited about it. From what I can tell so far, she's into me. She was fidgeting around with her hands and her hair and neck and smiling at me a lot the first time we were out. We haven't kissed. It just would have seemed strange to put a move on an old friend from years ago the first time going out. But this Saturday just feels better for making something happen.

So there it is. Give me some advice, particularly on buying drinks. My sister has tried to drill in my head that the guy always pays for drinks. But at the same time, I don't want to be that guy who's just doing favor after favor to get with a girl. Any advice from this point forward would be quite helpful. Thanks.

Dude don't buy the drinks for her, check out the 5 Question routine, and tell her that if she wins you'll pay, but if you win she'll pay. She has to work for it. Obviously keep it playful, kino a lot, and go in for the close when you feel like it. She won't refuse, have fun.

I will pay a girl's way if she came out mostly just to spend time with me and if it's fairly inexpensive. Don't let PUA's tell you it's a chump move. Opening doors for girls and ordering for them off menus seem nerdy and not very smooth, but holy shit women eat it up and it's EASY. It's just shit you do if you want to emphasize that you're a man, she's a woman and you're not just friends. Friends will alternate on who pays. But you wouldn't give a bum $7, so don't buy drinks for a stranger either (not that all bums drink).

So, back to topic, one thing you have going for you is this girl's age. She sure as shit isn't a highschooler and is likely to be much more open to casual sex. One mark against you is that you're younger and she's not really cougar age. This age difference usually doesn't work for boyfriend/girlfriend, but it should work pretty good for a casual hook up. I don't know what you want for actual advice. Play with her nipples until she's loosened up, and then go for the weakspot. I mean, it's all just standard game.
