So I had been at a work course (extremely dull) and it was time to leave. I was about to book an Uber. I was looking down at my phone not taking much notice of anything around me.

A girl who was on my course (let’s call her Maddie) from my company is sat in the parking lot. And music to my ears. She rolls down her car window and shouts “hey xxxxxxx, where are you heading, why don’t you come with me?”.

She knew me a little and I always thought she was cute. I had spoken to her quite regularly but because of WFH our contact kind of faded a little. So I said sure, and got in her car. It also helped that we both lived in the same part of the city. Something I had told Maddie a few weeks back. But she remembered. Which showed she trusted me and wanted my company.

Just make sure you don’t distract her driving and NEVER comment on how she drives. This could backfire and make her go cold straight away.

I approached her car, it’s a huge 4X4 and she is a petite 5”2 blonde girl. And the first thing I said when I got in is “damn this is a yacht Maddie”. She laughed and said “I’ve never heard that one before”.

Conversation was good and we just vibed really quickly. The journey was about half an hour to our location. And was enough time to talk and get to know her on a more personal level. We had a lot in common and just spoke about life, work, holidays, music, dogs. Had a bit of a karaoke session when she had some music on. But I felt really calm with her.

Then start talking about nicknames which is important. (I have a really long name). And we laughed about it. She then says she likes being called “mads” by people she knows. And so I saved this one for later. (Obviously not her real name, but it’s a very similar style of name shortening you can use).

It’s quite hard to maintain eye contact while driving but when we were in traffic I made sure to face her as much as possible. And not look out the window as if I was disinterested. She had some dark sunglasses on some of the time, but I could see her eyes through the hue of the lense and tell that she was interested. Her eyes were locked to mine and it felt so fucking good.

Something about chemistry in an enclosed space that is really seductive. I don’t know why. It just feels really intense when she is sat less than a foot away from me.

I thought about breaking the touch barrier but did it lightly at first. I saw my chance when we were in traffic. She had some gum in her lower side drawer. But claims she “couldn’t reach it”. Challenge accepted. So I stretched over her deliberately to get the packet. Making sure to lightly brush across her. And I rested one hand on her far side seat bolster. Enough so she knew the pressure was there. But not directly on her so she would be uncomfortable. I got a bit of gum out. And asked if she wanted some for her. She opened her mouth and took the gum pellet out of my fingers with her teeth. Feisty. Now I knew it was GAME ON. Instead of just putting it in my pocket or door panel. I was ballsy and decided to put it back again. Here we go again. I was getting more comfortable.

This time I took a bit longer. She knew full well that I was trying to touch her. And reciprocated. I was hovering and then she took my hand and placed it on her thigh and giggled. I pushed myself back to my seat. And I could tell by her subtle grin and eyes that she was craving my touch. Maddie said “damn, that move was smooth I’m not going to lie”. I said “oh, you think I didn’t see you move my hand over there”

Conversation keeps going and I’m looking for the next thing. So about 30 seconds later I say “I have to let you know something”. She says “what is it!” “You need to tell me”. “Stop teasing me”. “Let me know”.

And I told her this in a quiet voice. “Has anyone ever told you this, but you smell fucking incredible”. Compliments like this go a long way. Not many people comment on stuff like this and girls appreciate the thought. She said “omg. It’s a new one I got. I wasn’t too sure. But now I know”. I said “don’t worry, your scent suits you so well”. Another point in the bag.

If I’m honest it went way too quickly and we were starting to get closer to my street. And I knew time was running out. She obviously didn’t know exactly where I lived. But what came next was even better. We finally get to my location. She stops outside my house and can’t find it. (It’s literally right in front of her and I’m telling her to park up her car). I then joke in a high pitched voice something like “omg I have a stalker now, she knows where I live”. And she said “maybe one day I come inside”. So I said “if you are lucky and don’t misbehave”. She started to blush but found it funny and couldn’t stop laughing.

(What the fuck have I done. I’m literally in a car with a hot girl who actually likes me).

I then see her phone is charging and pick it up. Say “hey mads, type in your passcode”. She says “ooh you’re calling me mads now”. I say “I just wanted to see how you’d react” and “that’s so fucking cute”. I type my number into her phone. And then sent a text to myself. Saying “hi it’s mads”. I now make sure she has her phone and hand it back to her. I then type back on my phone “hi stranger, do you want to go out for a drink?”. Her face lights up but she doesn’t say anything.

She then gets out the car really abruptly to “stretch” because her legs ache. I realised she has done this so she is between her car and my front door. This girl is a genius. I get out the passenger side and walk around towards her. I forget how short she is and it’s so fucking adorable. I know what she is thinking and why my path has been blocked. Maddie is now facing me and I have no idea what she is going to do next. I say “thanks so much, it was so good to spend time with you”. She then walks towards me and wraps her arms around me for about 20 seconds. So I do the same and hug her. I don’t let go until she does . She then looks up and says “I’d like to go out with you, I’ve had fun today”. I then go back to hugging her, and kiss her forehead and say “that’s cute, I’ve had fun too”. Her eyes were so wide. And I could tell she was really interested.

We parted ways and I said I’d call her later. (This is a way to make sure she is still interested). And it gives her a bit of time to absorb what happened. I waited until about 9PM and called her back. We spoke for around half an hour. And I could tell she liked me.

I set up a time and agreed to pick her up. She hasn’t stopped contacting me and is really excited. I booked a small cocktail bar. Which is one she said that was on her list to visit.

I have no idea how I did this so smoothly but it just worked. I’m usually really slow at flirting but I was feeling her vibe and it just went so well. I highly recommend trying to speak one on one to girls. I thought I’d be rusty. And this was the first time I’d been with a girl alone in a while (because of covid). So it could’ve gone either way. Because I didn’t expect to even meet this girl, there was no pressure at all. The day just flowed so well.
