Most of us here have read 'Models', and being 'vulnerable' is perhaps one of the trickiest aspects of the book. Last night, I had a date where I just naturally ended up doing it right - so I thought I'll share.

Matched this girl on a dating app, talked on and off for a couple of weeks. Very shallow conversations, but I asked her out for a rather interesting date and she agreed.

Girl was a lot hotter in person that her pictures suggested, a solid 8 at the very least. Plus she's smart. Alcohol helps me overcome my immediate nerves, and we do well conversing. We vibe really well, end up talking for about 4 hours until the place closes down and we decide to take a walk. Just as we are leaving to take the walk, I go in for the kiss - she obliges.

Another hour passes, with more talking and a lot more kissing. Now it's time to call it a night - it's past midnight and we both have day jobs. Logistics are shit, with both of us 20 mins on opposite side of the city by cab. But just as I am about to say goodbye, I go:

"I know this isn't the best of ideas, but as a guy I have to ask - do you wanna come over?"

And she did. The rest of the night took it's own course.

Now that I think of it, this isn't the first time something like this happened. Girls are tired of tame excuses, and are also sick of overtly macho maneuvers. Just be honest, be vulnerable, and it may work out better than you expected.
