To preface, I work at a pool in a resort. Over the summer, I've flirted with and pulled a handful of guests. The reason I'm making this specific field report is because of the important lesson I learned.

Sunday, me and my coworkers had to remove a row of chaise lounges from the pool deck because of the season winding down. The only person laying out in the row was a beautiful girl [8] so I had to ask her to move into another row of chairs.

I did this professionally, but with a slight, sly smile on my face. She joked that I was kicking her out, and I replied it was because she was making all the other girls look bad (which she was. Her ass was god-tier.)

After removing the chairs, I told my buddies that I was gonna get her number. I approached and told her that I couldn't leave today without hitting on her. We make some small talk and eventually make plans to hang out later that night.

Fast forward, I'm meeting her at the coffee shop on the resort floor. We decide to go to the arcade across the lobby (great date idea, gentlemen.) We "compete" in skiball and basketball, while bumping butts to mess each other up (good kino.)

Afterward, we decide to go shoot some pool at one of the local bars. This is where the date really comes alive. We are having amazing chemistry, and I'm learning just how cool this girl is. At one point, we end up staring each other in the eyes for a good minute or two; she says it's like I'm staring into her soul.

I tell her to come closer, she does, and I go for the kiss. She pulls away smiling, and says she doesn't kiss on the first date. I joke and tell her that I'm only gonna hang out with her tomorrow to get that kiss.

1st date: 7/10. I had a great time, and felt comfortable with this girl. She is definitely girlfriend material.

The next day, I tell her she should come visit me at the pool. She comes out, and my boss says at some point I could take an hour off to go hang out with her. This is where I start making the "excuses."

She leaves, and we end up snapping each other. I send her a funny picture but it remains unopened for about four hours. This is where I made the excuse: "She hasn't opened it, so she must be sleeping. I won't bother to take time off to visit." Instead, I should have texted her about it and made concrete report.

We close the pool at 8pm, and I end up leaving without seeing her again. I check my snaps at about 9pm and she finally opened it but never replied. At first, I thought she was mad about me asking for nudes, but after thinking about it, it was actually because we made plans to hang out at some point, but I never pulled through.

I sent a text the next morning before her flight home, saying that I had a great time meeting her and if she's ever around we can catch up.

What I learned:

Always commit when making plans, even if you think they are gonna flake.

Don't be afraid to push a little bit to see where the boundaries lie.

Anyway, there's that. Comments?
