towards the end of the night, saw a HB7 sitting bored next to a girl and girl. i go over.

i mention she looks bored and ask if the girl is her friend, and she says no, the guy is. i intro myself, and we shake hands [i know, weak] i mention her hands are freezing (she'd been holding an iced drink) and start rubbing it, then the other hand. at this point she states she has a bf.

i let out a "nooooooooooo!" with gesticulations as if i had been stabbed thru the heart. she giggles. "really?" "i'm afraid so...." and reels off a convincing mini biog about him. "well" i say, "thankyou for your time, but mine is precious and i'm off to find someone else... to have sex with tonight." she laughs "and thankyou for consideration" she replies. another handshake and i eject back to my friends.

ten minutes later i'm dancing hard and when i hear the bar call last orders i spin to find her 'mirin' my shapes and smile at her. she keeps eye contact so i take her hand and head to the bar, where all the staff are busy shutting down. i grab us a pint of water to share, grabbing it sipping and putting it back in her hands whilst shes talking. we are leaning on the bar about a foot apart. she goes on about music, i go for high fives and hugs for common interests.

my drunk mate stumbles over and i introduce him, counting the seconds 'til he fucks off again or falls over. but then she jokingly critiques my flirting to him, before i respond "how do you flirt then?" without skipping a beat she lists a chunk of sexual unlocks ending with "i love anal and i'm amazing at blow jobs" (my mate has faded by this point, finally twigging he's gooseberry.) she looks me deep in the eyes head tilted down slightly biting her lip, "i'm terrible, aren't i?"

this is where i think fucked up. i'm sure here is where i should have escalated thru the ceiling but i'm a chump. i've been the bf, and so i had to ask again about her fella. i swear i could actually see her cooling off at this point, but i pushed the angle that he didn't exist and invited her back to mine, where she mentions she lives right around the corner, and thats where she's going. [did i just miss an invite/should i have invited myself?]

the lights come up and she says she's going for a smoke, i tell her to hold fire i needed to find my mates [i had peeps from out of town crashing at mine] where she says shes happy to carry on chatting but she's going out to smoke. i fuck up here again. i say i'm staying put thinking it's a dead end saying i'll see her around. [should i have followed her in hope of a cab ride together, or number closed right there?] she says next time she's here she'll have her bf, and she's gone. i round up the guys and i'm kicking myself all the way to mcds.

was it ever on to start with, or have i made that up?
