On the 3rd date, K-close fails.
I know, I know..."MOVE ON". "You took to long"
But just curious to know what are your thoughts. I just moved to a new city and have zero friends. And it gets lonely. This girl is also new in the city. What's wrong with having female friends? I haven't been in a relationship for a decade now and not a natural at gaming at all. In fact after this 'blunder' I am convinced I just can't attract. Because.... I gave it my best on this one.
Background. Met this cute HB7 at a place I was visiting and since we are both new to the city I say, lets go grab drinks after this. We go to a bar. We talk, chat, share life stories etc, good rapport. I number close saying we wel organize something together for New Years as we are both new in town with no friends etc. 4 days later she is the one to text me first to update me on something we talked about. Anyway, since I was sick for NYE I invite her after new years to join me at a bar/club with some new friends I had recently made. I thought why not invite her in a group setting. My friends eventually leave at a certain hour, leaving me alone with her at the club. We dance (I twirled her) and she loved the place. Good times.. I didn't go for a K-close that night. Felt she was keeping distances during dancing and I just did a mistake of not doing it. Fine.
Weeks go by. She initiates text again so I set a 2nd date, just me and her this time, live music place. Low lights. We dance, drink, laugh, she has fun. Again, I didn't go for k-close. I felt I just didn't get the right IOIs or there was a distance in her.
A week goes by, she invites me to join her at an event, I decline, "too busy" doing something else. Couple of weeks go by, she texts asking how it went with that thing I told her about. So we arrange to meet Sunday afternoon to walk around the city. 3rd date. Ok, this girl kinda keeps initiating with these texts..I am going to k-close this time.
We have a good time on that day and as we say goodbye, I lean in and she avoids the kiss, surprised, saying she wants to my friend blah blah, that she has fun going out with me and dancing with me and, she is kinda "seeing someone else" (I think bullshit, she just moved to this city"). I have to mention at this point, that she told me before that she broke up from a recent long relationship.
In hindsight, I should have felt it that she wasn't perhaps attracted (yet) but I thought she might be one of those girls that was a bit more conservative in their body language and also for my sake I had to try and close because I haven't in years.
I don't know what I am asking here for but I had to write this down!
