First off I just want to say thank you guys. This sub is amazing. Anyways, So I met this girl (HB8) at a bar a week ago. She was friends with one of my close girlfriends (it's really nice to have good looking girls as very good friends that you arent try to fuck, adds a ton of social value IMO ). Anyways we're talking for a while and I say "you're pretty cool, give me your number I would love to take you out". She does and we go out to dinner tonight. I personally like taking girls out to dinner as opposed to drinks on a first date simply because I enjoy eating new foods and trying new restaurants. Anyways I get there and immediately begin escalating kino at the bar while we're waiting to sit. We eventually sit and are chitchatting. There are a few points where the conversation lulls and I just look at her dead in the eye and dont say anything. It's in these moments you can really feel the tension increasing. Anyways towards the end of the night she points out something on the wall behind me. I take this as a good sign to move across the table to her side to look at it and sit real close to her. After about 30 seconds we're done looking at it and stop talking and just look at each other. I go in for the kiss and she's all about it. I pull away first look her dead in the eye for 5 seconds and then act as if it was normal thing. Eventually we leave and go to a bar. Throughout the rest of the night we keep kissing and holding hands, very touchy feely etc... Don't bring her back but still a great date. Literally every date I've been on in the last five months since reading seddit and applyingwhat I learned has ended in a k-close or f-close. I want to thank you guys for everything. This shit is life changing.
