Summary

Mutual friends got us in touch. We texted bare minimum to meet up Friday night.

We met up in a bar district. Initiated kino with a hug. Found a bar that wasnt packed and had a beer. She was as pretty as her pictures. It was hard to continue kino sitting down but we did "pound it" once. I kept good eye contact and our conversation was flowing well. I tried to remain a "closed book" but she kept asking about me. I shared some stories but tried to stay vague. I got the tab and said, "I've got this round."

Went to another bar. She taught me about wine. I initiated more kino but better this time. Remained playful. Never talked about sex. She said she was tired (ran a marathon this week) and i suggested we go. I walked her to her car. She was cold so i put my arm on her back . We hugged and i said we should meet up again.

Immediately after I felt like shit. No f close no kiss nothing. I have so much going for me. I'm better than this. Walked to my car feeling bad. I don't want to play these games. I just want it to come to me but i understand that in this world nothing is given to you. You have to take it and I'm still an AFC. FML.
