Throwaway account since everyone who knows me knows my real account.

Went on a date tonight with a friend of mine from high school. I had always had a crush on her but timing prevented me from ever taking action. Well, finally had the chance tonight.

Had a great date. Started with dinner since we were both starving. Constant laughs and good conversation. Then walked around the city just taking in the sights. Initiating lots of kino during this. Go back to my apartment building and go to the pool and turn on the tv where the couches are (outside, patio pool overlooking the city, sky rise...really nice). I suggest we move upstairs to my rom, and she agrees.

We hop in my bed and throw on netflix. Immediately put my arm around her. After some laughs and flirty rubbing and tickling, I go in for the kiss. Instantly rejected. I'm sort of caught off guard but don't ever show it. Just say that's cool and keep on with the night like I don't care in the slightest.

And honestly, I don't. It doesn't matter that I got rejected. It's better that I tried and can now move on as a result than to not try and live wondering what if.
