It’s a weird title, but the story is a little different than all the normal shit I see here. I want to give you a short story that anyone can learn from.

Background

Over the weekend, we celebrated my friend’s birthday by throwing a day party then going out to the bars. Once we get to the first bar, my memory starts to fade. What I remember is that I made out with a cute girl and got her number.

I’d give you more background, but that’s all I can mentally provide. I piece it together on the date - keep reading.

Body

After basic logistical texting, we meet up at my place and go for a walk. Tremendous IOIs. After basic conversation she starts to talk about when we met and I piece together how we began to make out, which I find fascinating. So here is how the night we met goes.

I notice her trying to get a drink at the bar Me: “Hi” Her: “Hi” Me: Pull her in and make out

We can discuss this in the Lessons Learned - back to the date.

But as we’re chatting, I’m noticing red flags popping up as if I was in 1939 Poland watching the Nazis take over. Internally, my thought processes is, “Okay, iSTRP, this chick isn’t even plate material, but you’re already with her and she’s a HB7, so why not get a lay.”

We get back to my house and I lead her to my room. Oh and more red flags, the Nazis have now crossed into Austria. After multiple escalations and multiple, “We’re not having sex tonight”s, it’s no longer a hill willing to climb. And bedtime is in 30 min.

Somehow she casually mentions leaving and I don’t hesitate to say that’s a good idea. I won’t be texting her.

Lessons Learned

  • ESCALATE: I made out with this chick in 10 seconds. Of course you could argue we both had alcohol in our system, but ALWAYS assume attraction. A new feature I’m adding to my frame is to act as if I’ve already made out with a girl I find attractive.

  • Red flags are your friend. There’s extensive TRP posts about this, but if it makes you cringe, it’s probably a red flag.

  • I could probably fuck this chick after another date or two, but it’s not apart of my plan. I can only think she would be a negative force in my life that would leak into other aspects of my life. Example, at one point I told her I lift before work and run after. She’s replied, “I’ll change that.” FUCK NO YOU WONT

I’m sure there’s other small lessons in there, but this post has already taken up too much of my time.
