First date was fun but she was very shy with the kino. Takes-it-slow kind of girl.

Two days ago we made plans to meet. Today, in the afternoon, I sent an SMS:

Me: So, are we meeting tonight? <Implies that we might not meet. Fuck that!>
Me: What do you want to do tonight?
Her: Open to suggestions.
Me: <keep it terse, take charge> Meet near my place. Jazz concert tonight. Drink single malt scotch. Coffee afterwards.
Her: Sounds fun!
Me: Great! Be at my place at 8. Dress sexy.
Her: Hey, watch yourself! :-)
Me: No, I don't think that I will. :-)

She showed up at 8:10. I met her at the corner and led her to my place. She realized that we're going the wrong way so I told her that we're heading up for drinks for just a few minutes because the show is start soon. <Set a time-limit and get her comfortable with entering my house. Seddit, thanks for this idea!>

We sat and drank for a bit and then walk to the show. Great show! A little hand holding but still she's very shy. At one point I was close enough for a kiss and even though I wasn't trying for one, she said quietly, "No." She seemed pretty nervous the whole night. She's kinda new to dating, in her words. In her 30s. ಠ_ಠ

Left the club and held hands on the walk back though she was a little squirmy about that, too! When we finally got to my place I invited her up for coffee. She said "no". I kept making my way toward the door, "Come on, I've got some coffee upstairs." Again, resistance. With the confidence of a guy who sees through her pretend-resistance I declare, "Come on, we're going to have a cup of coffee." Suddenly she just caves and came right up. I thought to myself, "Un-fucking-believable, this shit works." Thanks again, seddit.

Up at my place some making out on the couch, alternating between her getting hot and bothered and then her deciding that it's too much, too soon and resisting. I full-stop, take a drink, start again but more slowly. Again, she's into it, participating, and then her brain takes over, she wants to cool it. Back and forth like this for 20 minutes. Sometimes I just agree, "Yeah you're right," and keep going. Sometimes I back way off across the couch and start again slowly after some chit-chat. She toggles between very into it and very inside her head.

Eventually she left. Playfully spanked her ass on the way out. Everyone loves a good spank.

I'm surprised that I stuck it out 20 minutes. After 2 minutes I was thinking, "What is this bullshit? She is too old to be so fake-prude." Old-me would have kicked her out but I wanted to see how long I could stick it out with her emotional mental bullshit issues. Any suggestions or is this just how it goes sometimes? The bright lights in the living room were too much but I thought that suggesting candles or the bedroom would sort of trip her "too-soon" alarms and she'd up and leave.

BTW, this nickel puts my February total to 13 points.

tl;dr Great SMS start, great date, make out with lots of resistance. Give me suggestions!
