I think you might find this story funny. I know I do. It's also a bit weird. Pretty long but probably well worth the read, if only for the fun of it.
Prologue
My cousin was throwing her 40th birthday party (i'm 28 ) at her new summer place. I arrived late with my brother and sister, and when we found the place, it was all empty. We met an old gentleman who introduced himself as a neighbor and told us that the others where at a barn nearby, but would be back any minute. In the meantime, he invited us to have a look at his garden in case we would like to put our tents there (my brother and I where planning to stay the night, and had brought tents because all the extra beds in our cousin's house where already taken). How nice of him.
I found a spot in his garden, and just as I was gonna put my tent up, he came back and asked me if I didn't rather want to camp in his old playhouse. His kids had moved out some 40-50 years earlier. "I'm gonna tell you a story about this playhouse", he said. "The last time we had a party out here, I let a newly wed couple sleep in here, and 9 months later..." - he didn't finish the sentence. "So we'll se in 9 months if you've had a good party or not". I liked him already.
I put my sleeping bag in the playhouse and started unpacking my things.
Finding my target
Going back to our cousin's house, we found that people where coming back. I had short conversations with all of my cousins and other relatives, my parents arrived and I chatted with them for a while.
All the while, I was looking out for unknown HB friends who might have been invited by any of my cousins. However, all of them where too old or too engaged to someone in the group. Until I saw her: HB, let's just call her that. She was very cute, pretty and just generally good looking. She didn't seem to know too many people, and she also looked a little bit younger than me.
After talking to everyone outside, me, my brother and sister went indoors to say hi to everyone in there. That's when first actually met her. I was walking ahead of my siblings, and shaked the hand of a woman who was standing next to HB in the kitchen, trying to open a bottle of rose. I asked her about her connection to the cousin, and she said something complicated which I said I didn't really get. Then HB said:
"Well, she's the mother of your cousin's doughter's boyfriend. And she's also my mother" (1). That didn't seem less complicated, so I just smiled, gave her my hand to shake and said "Hi". Laughter. DHV, possible neg. We stayed talking to them for a few moments, HB gave me a glass of rose, I drank a few sips with her and then I went back into the garden.

(1) So this girl was my second cousin's boyfriend's sister]
Building comfort
The party was moved back to the barn. The bottom floor had a large dining room with several long tables in it, and a large kitchen. On the top floor, which was formerly used for hay storage, there was a dance floor and a bar. We where seated and had dinner. I sat with my cousin's girl friends and HB was sitting by another table facing me. I made sure to DHV by getting as much positive attention as possible from the girls at my table. After dinner I moved to the table where my parents where sitting, and had a conversation with them. HB came over to sit diagonally opposite to me, but I didn't give her too much attention. She talked some with my dad and I got a few words into the conversation while maintaining conversations with the people on the other side of me. I found out that HB was living in Stockholm (an hour by train from where I live), works as a waiter (which I've done too) and is 20 years old.
We split up again, and my cousin declared that it was time to hit the dance floor in the old hay storage upstairs. The dance floor was surrounded by benches on the sides, and they played tacky swedish dance music. Examples:

Everyone in Sweden both hates and loves that kind of music.
I consider myself an above average dancer, so dancing usually does not hurt my game (I think
). So I danced, while HB was sitting on one of the benches. Just DHVing, dancing and having fun with everyone on the dance floor. Then I tried to drag her up, but she didn't dare/want to. "Later, after a few drinks", she said. So I sat down with her. We fluffed.
My parents and my sister left the party early. And at this stage, I was just fluffing and not paying her undivided attention. I would run off every now and then to socialize with pretty much everyone at the party, and then meet her again every now and then. I got many IOIs and she seemed to be drawn to me. At one point, when I was talking to my cousin, who was pretty drunk at the time, she said:
"You seem to be doing good tonight"
Me: "Easy, now"
She: "Well, maybe you won't have to sleep alone in the playhouse"
Me: "Easy, now" (smiling)
Isolating my target
However, finding myself beside HB on one of the benches on the side of the dancefloor, crossing off comfort and attraction, I said "Well, I'm gonna go out for some air", stood up and slowly walked outside, as I noticed her standing up to follow me. I didn't know how far she was ready to go away with me, so I tried a few steps towards the stairs off the porch.
She followed. There was a slope heading down to the downstairs entrance where the rest of the party was taking place. I tried a few steps down the slope but slightly away from the entrance.
She followed. I started walking down the dirt road away from the party and into the dark.
She followed.
So we walked down the road and talked some more, just fluffing. I started slowly kino escalating, first by just brushing against her arm every now and then, then putting a hand on her shoulder whenever she said something funny. I didn't get too much of that stuff in, though. When she suggested we'd turn around and walk back, I put my hand on her back while turning, it just feels like a natural kino opportunity. Some more brushing and then I felt that it was time to use my own field tested kiss close routine.
My kiss close routine
Being new to the community, I don't know if this is all old news, but this is something that I use pretty often, and it works great for me. I've developed it myself, but maybe I've just been reinventing the wheel.
So, we're slowly walking down a road side by side. I lag behind a few steps to bring the pace down a tad more and to make her more aware of my position relative to hers. It makes her more conscious about me. Then I pace up slightly, just so that I'm walking one step ahead of her, and half-turned against her, I cut slightly through her path. It forces her to a semi- halt, and quite often, she will stop and turn to face you. Then you face her completely and go in for the kiss.
If she does not respond this way, this routine does not have any plan to convert her into a kiss, but it serves as a test which is pretty safe - if she's ready, you kiss her. If she's not, you just cut through her path. No biggie.
So, she turned to face me, and we kissed.
HB: "You know, they've been betting about this over there at the party"
Me: "Yeah, but has anyone really been betting against?"
We returned to the party holding hands.
Taking her "home"
I kept socializing with everyone at the party, but kept coming back to HB and giving her some attention every now and then. At one point, when I entered the kitchen, HB, her mother, my cousin and some more people where standing there discussing the housing situation - who was gonna sleep where? My cousin asked if it would be OK to share the playhouse with HB. Her mother seemed to be OK with it too, tho she had seen us kissing at the party. I said "Well, I suppose I could let her sleep there".
A little later, we went back to the playhouse, she put her sleeping bag in there and we made everything ready for bed time. I sat down in front of her on the floor and started making out with her. We started to undress each other, and the rest is up to the imagination of the reader.
The aftermath
We woke up around 10 in the morning. About half an hour later, her mother knocked on the door and put her head in through the tiny door. "Good morning, sleep tight?" she asked with a big smile on her face. After she left, I realized that the opened condom package had been laying visible for her to possibly see. Well, I guess she didn't have any illusions about what went down with her daughter in there anyway. Interesting mom. I don't know whether this is good or bad..
Breakfast was served in the barn. I sat with HB and her mom and some others. When it came time to leave, I found her outside talking to my brother. I approached them, handed her my phone and said "Type". She did, I kissed her and left.
We've been texting quite a lot since then. We're making plans for her to maybe visit on Sunday. To be continued...
Thanks for reading.
