Sorta a FR, but a small one about something I did today.

Lots of the stuff I have read/heard suggests using a time restraint so that it appears you can bounce at any time, without warning, be mysterious.

Went and got food alone, spotted a HB6-ish, sat and had a chat for a little bit. It was going ok, I mentioned I was working and didnt have that long... proceeded to sit and eat and talk (and not) somewhat awkwardly with her for the next 20-ish minutes.

Didnt go too well obviously, but I got out and was talking. Step by step, getting over AA.

I should have left long before, but couldnt figure out how to do so elegantly. I probably should have just looked at my watch and said "holly crap... g2g... can we continue this some time?"... but I chickened out and was just left with an experience. I am growing. I am learning. It is working.
