And same fucking result... And I don't mean that in a good way.

Meet these two girls doing cold approaches in NYC.

First girl, cute petite Asian with a very cute face really nice body.

Met up at a bar on a very cold NYC night. Really nervous at first because I forgot how cute she was but settled in, once I excused myself to the bathroom but really went to get a shot to calm my nerves. Night was going pretty well. Good conversation and energy. I was doing kino but it was very much one sided. But she was definitely giving off IOIs.

After a few drinks, she asked if I wanted to grab some food. I agreed and think this was my mistake. Went to a nearby spot and at that point, energy of the date really waned. Plus it got weird because she started talking about her ex and I think I got a bit judge-y about how involved they are with each other.

Ended with a weak hug. Ugh... Couldn't get myself to go for k-close because of lack of energy at the end of the date and no real kino from her.

Second girl, eastern european with an ok face but pretty amazing body. Petite but stacked.

Took her to an art showing. Did light kino throughout but really nothing from her. She did give some IOIs by asking about my interests and hobbies. Another thing in favor was that she had said she was meeting someone at the beginning of the date but stayed longer than she said she would.

Still at the end of the night didn't k-close. Fuck! And ended again with, you guessed it, a weak fucking hug.

Really realized that my sticking points are, I have no idea when I'm getting the signal to go with for the k-close or when to do it. I'm wondering if I should just say fuck it, and try to close every first date with a kiss?
