Last night, planned on watching netflix and just passing out. But this friend of mine from out of town blew in last minute and we ended up chilling and smoking hookah outside on our front porch. Our new neighbors were walking by and stopped over to talk and smoke and invited us over for beer pong. We said why not, and went over about 20 minutes later.

So summer in a college town makes for dead parties. There was 2 girls there and about 12 guys. I wasn't paying much attention to either, just having some fun, since one clearly had her boyfriend there, and the other was surrounded by at least 3 guys at all times.

I ended up talking to the girl with the boyfriend and some of the new guys, and did a really good job at being the attention of the party where I only knew my one friend. Hookah tricks are great for parties, at least they work for me. I basically just talked to everyone, but had my eye on the girl surrounded by guys, S. These guys were playing guitar, leaning in to her, but she was seemingly bored the entire time. Eventually she got up to play beer pong with us and I introduced myself, and us 2 being the most sober instantly had something in common to talk about. Laughing at the drunkest of the bunch, etc.

So now she's clearly not bored and I'm teasing her with her shooting, and eventually get on her team. I'm doing really well at this point. Have chances to put my hand on her lower back to move her when I'm shooting, and she would stand right to me and brush her body against my arm while I shot. Good signs. Later on we're flirting and she playfully asks to be picked up to see out a high window and things are looking up.

Shortly after that she has to leave, and the new drunk neighbor and I made plans to all smoke some more hookah around 1pm the next day, since they had such a good time with that, so I invite her, tell her I'll peer pressure her, and get her number for it. Normally I wouldn't call the next day but I did, around 11:30. It rings, she doesn't answer, so I text her "Hey S, it's M from last night. Come join for hookah at so I can peer pressure you into trying it like I said!"

No answer until 8pm, she says her phone was off and she didn't see it until way later, but said "have fun!". I texted back awhile later saying "No problem, I'll just have to beat you in beer pong again some other day. Later" And that was that. Pretty much ignored her blowing-off. And it was pretty obvious that her phone wasn't off when I called, since it didn't go straight to voicemail, but oh well.

I'm going to just count this as another experience under the belt, and basically call it over here, but what would the best course of action be for this anyway? Ignore?

Either way, had a great time. Going out again tonight, look forward to reading/responding later!
