So I was out with a bunch of assorted intertwined friends, which was the start of my problems.

Lately I've been apprehensive about hitting on girls in the social circle because they continually end up wanting relationships and I, for reasons not worth going into, am not into that place right now. I'm always honest with them so as to avoid the fuckboi label, but in general I'm a bit gun-shy about "Oh hello 17th girl I've met through friend X".

So enter the 17th girl, metaphorically.

She'd had a rough night and had been borderline kicked out of this one bar so we all relocated to another one. Early in that evening she had sort of picked ME up, introducing me to her friend's mom as part of some sort of "bet".

She was pretty into the kino, but I was playing it vaguely coy because I didn't want to be the dude who strung along yet another social circle girl, even though I've never really done that. I guess I'm self conscious about getting a reputation?

So she's qualifying herself to me talking about how she's a hard worker and has a job and isn't like "the rest of these gold diggers" and looks me dead in the eye and says "I love to fuck" and what do I do? I attempt to chill the situation out a bit in front of the rest of the crew by excusing myself and going to use the facilities.

I run into a bud on the way back and talk for 10 minutes, and arrive back just in time to see her leave with a rando who, not to be immodest, was a downgrade.

Lessons?

  • Strike while iron is hot

  • Don't be so apprehensive - I was second guessing my own actions way too much

  • Who Dares Wins
