Another quick daygame session today right before work. I walked around my usual spot and saw girl #1. Went in for the open. She reciprocated well but she was in a rush. I tried to keep the conversation going. I could have done two things in that moment; Walk with her or let her go. At the moment I let her go and she said bye.

I used the momentum of the first girl to open another girl, asking her what she was drinking. We chatted for a bit before she had to go into a store. I wasn't going to follow her in so I just left it like that.

I went to a second area and gamed around for a few minutes. Doing front stops and working on approaching. They didn't stick too long but I got some practice in.

Went to a bookstore and opened a few girls, nothing serious just small talk. Opened this one girl who looked super serious.

"What are you reading? you look super stressed out"

The girl laughed as a smile crept on her face. "Oh this?! it's for class"

Me and girl talked for a bit, the conversation was fun. Throughout the whole time my eye contact was on point. We were having a playful conversation.

"I have to get going" I took out my phone, the contact page was opened as my body knew what to do. "What's your number?!"

The girl gave me her number and I left. Later throughout the day she texted me.

"What are you up to?"

"Working. You're bored right?"

"I've been reading all day."

I smiled as I had a distinct feeling that she wanted to do something. I listened to my gut."I get off at 7. Let's grab a drink"

"Okay, that sounds good to me" she responded. I looked up the nearest bar and sent her the address.

We meet up and we just chat. We were sitting next to each other. The bar was busy but we didn't mind. Throughout the whole interaction she was asking me all these question about myself. I answered. I teased her and slowly added kino.

She accepted the kino as she didn't flinch at all or moved back. It felt normal.

"When was the last time you had a serious relationship?" The girl asked.

I took a sip of my beer, not showing her I was taken off guard by her question. I couldn't think of anything on the spot. "A few years ago." I blurted. "I just been seeing people casually, you know? Casual dating" I remained cool. Trying not be shaken. I asked her now.

"I just got out of a relationship...." Her voice trailed off. She then told me what happened how she wanted to take things slow."I don't want to get hurt again..." She sighed as she played with her cocktail. "It will take me a long time for me to date someone."

At this point I just agreed and amplified and changed the topics. There were some silence here and there but overall it was a good night.

I came in close and I just knew I can kiss her. I went and she moved her head away. She didn't want to but I didn't let it effect me. We talked about more things about family and work etc.

We left the bar and we said our byes. I hugged her and went for the kiss again. Her body didn't mind me touching her but she didn't want to kiss me.

"I'm sorry..I'm just not ready." She said as she looked down.

"It's fine" I smiled as I said bye.

Overall it was a good random date out of the blue. I thought about the date as I came home. I realized how stronger I became. The old Salted_Pretzel would have been bitching and being victim about the date. I would have complained and spiraled into depression. Instead now I just shrug it off.

There is nothing I can do about it. What's done is done. If she doesn't like me she doesn't like me. No need to let her effect my emotions. I moved on. Today just showed me that I can get dates. It just take time and being patient. There are so many girls out there. It takes the mental energy, clarification, and introspection to realize that and have an abundance mentality.
