I got an HB7's number and setup a date. [FR] is here

I meet her in a park nearby where we are going for dinner and start the date with a hug. We make small chat on the way over to the place about where it is and if she likes this type of food or whatever. I won't bore you with the details, it was enough being there. We get into the place and are order food. We sit down at a small table in the corner. I initiate conversation by asking her some questions about herself and her background. Her future aspirations and her past. She talks and talks and talks and talks. I try to keep eye contact with her the whole time but she doesn't really keep eye contact. After dinner we walk over to a park, I'm using light kino throughout the walk (small of her back, taking her hand).

We sit down away from any other people and continue to talk. I slide next to her and put my arm over her shoulder and rest my hand on her shoulder applying pressure on her shoulder every once in a while over the course of about an hour.

This whole time it's pretty much a one-sided conversation about past things she's done and I'm displaying pretty beta behavior just listening passively and egging her on with additional questions that make it seem like I'm interested. I think that she must be interested in me if she accepted a date and is letting me use kino on her without really reacting so when she eventually stops talking for a while I get her attention and go in for the kiss. She backs away and says No. "no? okay then" and then conversation pauses for about 5 seconds and I ask her about something she's been telling me and she eventually starts back into IncessantTalkBot. I remember reading something on seddit about pulling away from her if a kiss fails, so after a while I lift my arm from her shoulder and sit a little farther away from her and also stop looking at her eyes which wasn't working anyways because she was looking at the park the whole time instead of looking at me. Conversation went on for about another 40 minutes without anything happening and then I decide I've had enough so I say "ok, let's go." She gets up and says "okay where now?" Which confuses the fuck out of me considering how she's been reacting to my advances. So instead of saying the metro since I wanted to go home, I say "well lets go for ice cream or fro yo or something."

We walk around talking and find an ice cream shop to stop at. This is probably the most fun I've had this night because we start talking about literature. I find out she's pretty well read, which is a joy since I consider myself well read. The whole night before this point was one sided, this was basically the first time where I had more to input than simply prodding her to continue talking about herself. I direct our movements by getting up and walking with her to the metro so we can end this date.

We talk some more on the metro ride but I can't really hear her so I put my arm back over her shoulder and lean in when she's talking. She's still face forward eyes not on me for most of the time. Once it comes to her stop I kind of squeeze her shoulder with my arm and say "bye" she says "bye" and lightly pats me on the knee.

[Conclusion] I'm not really sure what I did wrong. Maybe with this type of girl it just takes way longer to advance with or should I have been more aggressive? This was a really boring date for me, I think I've finally found something I would consider worse than outright rejection, so at least I don't have to fear that anymore.

I think the next time I find myself in this type of situation I will just keep escalating with kino until I get a reaction, positive or negative.

Maybe I was being to passive with my talking and should have interrupted her more or told her to stop talking about herself.

Next time instead of sitting there staring at her while she stars at the park "I'll tell her to look into my eyes and see my soul" or something like that. Definitely definitely need to work on my escalation.

tl;dr: Go to dinner, girl talks a lot. Go to park, girl talks a lot; light kino, failed attempt at kiss, good recovery from kiss. Go for dessert, have non-onesided conversation. Date over.

Thanks for all feedback guys.
