Last night one of my friends invited me to a beach party. It was a really good time but I didn't really know anyone there. So I went around talking to guys and gals trying to meet people.

I open two girls and two guys with a simple "what's up guys?" The girls just looked at me and didn't say anything so I introduced myself to the guys and started talking to them. In no time the girls were trying to jump in on the conversation. Once they did I shifted my focus to them and kind of edged the guys out (apparently they had just met).

One of the girls was a solid 8 so after a bit I start really focusing on her while the other girl talks to some other people and eventually walks off. Me and this girl are really clicking. We talk about sports, hobbies, school, pretty standard stuff but for some reason I really liked her. The whole time I was teasing her and moving her around a bit. I'd say something like "it's too hot I'm gonna go over here" and she'd say something like "yea you're right" and then follow me. And when the conversation died down she would be the one to try to start it up again. Clear IOIs?

Eventually me and her are laying in the sand near the edge of the woods, just talking and enjoying each other's company. There's people nearby but no one is bothering us. There's a huge bonfire in front of us and stars above, pretty romantic stuff. So I give her strong eye contact as we talk and then...I did nothing. I couldn't do it. I got cold feet.

I even had the game plan laid out in my head. I would've just put my hand on hers or maybe left my other hand on her knee as we talked. And then just gone for it. But I didn't. I kept doubting myself and thinking "it's too soon! It's too soon!" It was most definitely not too soon. I could see she was about it yet I couldn't go for it. She ended up having to leave pretty early because of her friends. I like to think if she stayed later I would've definitely gone for it but I'm not convinced.

The rest of the party went by fine. Talked to more girls, got a few numbers but nothing like that.

Before she left she asked for my number and actually just hmu while I was typing this. As much as id love to hang out with her again I'm gonna try not to force things because she lives about an hour away.

I need your help Seddit! How can I get out of my head?

TL;DR talked to a beautiful girl at the beach. She was interested beyond a shadow of a doubt but I just couldn't go for the k close. We exchanged numbers but she lives too far for us to really hang out again (at least very often)
