This is my first post here, and reading through everything has helped me tremendously. Anyways,

Been talking to this girl from work, about a HB9, she came out to the bar with me last night and a few other friends. Things were slow there so there wasn't much action there but this was my first try at "the game" in a few years.

At first she was stand offish, I noticed they didn't pay as much attention to me because my friend was giving them bad vibes, understandable. He's a metalhead drummer. I knew kino was the number one step and it was impossible being across the table from her so when more people came I lucked out and got a seat next to her.

I chatted her up and stared her straight in the eye (must keep hard eye contact from what I remember) but had problems initiating kino because everyone was around the table and things were kind of pressured on me.

It changed when my friend with ADD showed up and loosened everyone up a bit more by being his usual obnoxious self, but what he did next saved my night.

He told me that he was impressed to say the least and was trying to escalate things for me, so what he did was put his hand on my lap. I look at him like "What the fuck are you doing?" and he goes, it's a game, you have to complete the chain. So, I explain the game to HB9 beside me and put my hand on her lap in agreement. The chain goes around nothing happens, but I leave my hand there, she doesn't resist anything.

I'm rubbing her leg and shes grabbing my hand with her fingers and puts her hand on my leg for the rest of the night while I go for the lower back kino under the shirt and everything.

She was tired, things came to an end everyone was leaving and my friend was coming home to stay at my house. I went and took a piss, told him I'd meet him outside and told her to come outside with me.

After a few words I went to put my nose on her head and it turned into the hardest make out, it was hot as fuck. I don't know if I was grabbing the wrong spots but I was just loving it and so was she. I did the pull back, stare her in the eye and start again until my friend burst out of the door ending our session :(

I offered to walk her home and she kept saying no it's ok, my friend was walking to my house and I offered probably 2 or 3 more times, until we decided she would text me she was safe when she got home, and I headed off.

She texted me today saying how much she loved making out and how it was so much better than her first date with another guy.

It's a little long but, what could I have done differently? I think if we would've walked together and I had my arm around her or my hand on her somewhere I could've sealed the deal, but I felt my friend hurt me more than anything. I still feel everything went smooth and on a high note, but stupidity aside, what if she's just on her period?
