Got an HB7 over to my place last night, I think I played it really well before she came over. Met her from Hinge, built rapport over text without coming off too needy. Like I said, I haven't been with girls alot over the past 6 months or so because I've been obsessed with focusing on my finances & lifting. I did my best to relax & play it cool

I setup my firepit in the backyard, it was cold so I had blankets and coffee, music going etc etc. She was very eager to talk with me from the first minute so I'm assuming that means she found me attractive or interesting. She was leading alot of the conversation, I think she didn't like the brief silence between conversations. I don't care about silence so I was completely comfortable, while she gave off a bit of a nervous vibe. I kino'd for an hour, touching and talking about her hair a bit (she was telling me about her hair appointment the day before). I had my arm around her waist and she was laying back into me. I probably could've kissed her right then and there but I honestly wasn't looking for signs because I was so out of the game for a while. Gotta get those gut feelings back, that's the key

She insisted she get's home because she has class early in the morning, and she brought up seeing me again multiple times throughout the night. Instead of confirming the plans upfront I made some jokes about how eager she was already about seeing me again. She laughed alot.

When I walked her to her car, I didn't kiss her. That was the real fuck up, it's kind of those hindsight things where I didn't realize how attracted she was to me until I was replaying it in my head after she left. The problem was I was thinking of things to say to her as a goodbye, rather than just acting on my intentions and just pulling her in for a kiss. I also could've said some things to get her to stay. I was down on my shit test answers so I figured I would just let her go rather than stumbling over words trying to get creative.

I texted her this afternoon, threw a joke and told her we should hangout before Saturday (she's leaving for a cruise). She replied almost immediately to me, I'm talking like 20 seconds. She gave me her whole schedule lmfao, times & days and everything.

Did I luck out with this one? How to play it from here? I was thinking about just grabbing her as soon as I see her next and kissing her right off the bat. Second date ideas? Try to get to her place?
