Longtime lurker here.

Went to a show last night, met girl who was friends with my friend. I got a good vibe from here but I was nervous and unsure how to go from casually saying things to something more.

Idk what happened bit at some point I just said to myself, leave nothing on the table, and asked her to dance with me. Went ok, but I pushed ahead and near the end of the night I said to her, don't hold back tonight and went in for a kiss. It did not go well, very simple, but short.

I left it there proud I tried and kept having fun. End of the night were leaving and taking cabs and I just kidna hang around with the gang as we split up before I hop in my uber home I say I'm going back to mine to chill and she asks to join. F close at night, and the morning, and got her number for more over coffee.

Don't give up on yourself, don't hold back. Worst they can say is no
