1. I got off of work and since I wait for the bus I thought I'd head over to a nearby bar that has live music. Once I walk in there I start to scope out the place. It was 5 days after that last girl and since then I had gone to my buddies birthday bar crawl, opened a few sets but alas nothing, met a cute girl at the light rail station and initiated conversation, and talked to dozens other people of all types. On this particular night I sat down and got a beer. I sat down next to this girl and since I only had 30 min till my bus got there I decided to try and close her fast. I started talking to her opened with some comment about the band. She said her friend was the keyboardist. I flirted and kept eye contact as we talked. At times I would pull away and look around. I initiated kino and got as far as the leg touching again. At this point I pulled her towards me and ask her if she was obligated to stay for the entire set. She said "why?" with a smile and I said maybe we can go to your place and hang out. She said "Thank you but no thank you" still smiling. We continued to talk but that was as far as that one got. I excused myself as my bus was almost there. I felt great that I had at least gotten as far as the closing question. I'm making progress and I'm happy for the changes I'm making.
