Hey brothers. Here's a field report that I am happy to write about because I didn't pussy out and acted upon my desires.

Met this girl, HB6 through tinder for drinks at a local bar. Sat down next to her and had nice conversation and kept each other laughing. Light kino and made sure our legs were always touching.

Left the bar to walk her back to her place ( I had an evening review class for exams 30 minutes later so timing wasn't the best). I said fuck it and went for her arm and surely enough like a magnet, she locked arms with me and away we went (Thought to myself "Huh, that was easier than the 1000s of scenarios I played out in my head)". When getting to her place I was standing at the top of the steps of her stoop while she was one step below me.

I called an Uber to take me back home and new I had to act quickly but not come off desperate. She was telling me about how she was going to Puerto Rico next weekend and I interrupted her, told her to step up to my step, looked her in the eye and said "I don't like to kiss looking down" then went for it. It was just a quick peck, but she smiled and I hugged her bye and left.

No major victories to many of you seasoned veterans, but to me, it was huge. Tonight reinforced that taking the lead is critical, whether you are a natural leader or you fake it til you make it. The best thing about tonight is that while anticipating to make my move, I imagined what it would be like tonight if I didn't take action (could I have kissed her?) versus taking action (I took action and won / I took action and got rejected and laughed at it). That lit a fire under my ass. I'm tired of thinking what could have been for many of my interactions.

Fellas, I got a long ass way to go. I am still a bit fat, albeit lifting daily. I finally got out of my parents house and live in NYC for school away from them. All that matters is that I had fun tonight. She texted me already out of the blue saying we should do something again sometime. Going to ghost her for next week while I'm studying for exams. This is all so new to me, yet it feels so familiar. Here's to the future, and have a good night
