[FR] The boardwalk. (F-Close)

This is my first FR and it will be rather long and detailed, depending on how well it is received, I may post more. Here goes.

I am 22 fresh out of college and a LTR, perfect time for pickup. I have always been confident, but reading this sub helped to teach me how to use that confidence effectively to pick up girls.

Now to the FR. The girl in question will be referred to as Sarah. It was a long weekend with Monday off and me and three friends decided to hit the bars for the night, more so just to relax and have a good time than to pick up girls. We headed out early and got to our first bar around 8:30pm. It was dead aside from Sarah and her friend sitting opposite the bar from me and my group. We ordered drinks and I immediately make eye contact with Sarah and hold it, ending with a sly smile before she looked away. I thought to myself, “I’ll be approaching her very shortly." Before I had a chance to act they were right next to us to "Pay their tab." It was obvious they were coming to talk to us, so I obliged. I asked both their names and shook both their hands with a warm "nice to meet you" and told them I was just about to come talk to them. All the while maintaining strong eye contact with Sarah. One of my friends stepped in and began talking to Sarah's friend which gave me a few moments to talk 1on1 with Sarah. I used this time to ask her plans for the night. They said they were out of money and leaving because they had drinks in the car. (I could have pressed this and hung out with her right then but I was with friends and didn’t really want to) She then said but "I could stick around if you wanted to buy me a drink." I laughed in her face and told her that she has to earn a drink with me but she can put her number in my phone. While doing that she asked what her name should be in my phone and I told her Sarah Cute would do just fine. She liked that and I could tell so I said goodbye gave her another sly smile and great eye contact (my personal bedroom eyes/fuck me look) and let her go without watching her and never looking back. Had I looked back am sure I would have caught another glance from her but decided to leave her wanting.

Next Day

I was at the house grilling out and having a few drinks and after I had gotten rather intoxicated I thought it would be a great idea to text her. Typically, I would give it a few days but in my drunken state it seemed appropriate. I texted her playfully saying "hey Sarah cute, as your name is in my phone, it was nice meeting you last night." Within 2 texts she was asking me to hang out to which I agreed and set a date for the following day. (I am sorry there is not more on the texting I know a lot of people struggle with this and I will be happy to answer any questions)

Day of the Date

I texted her midday confirming we were still on for that night and she responded asking what we would do. I told her that I would come up with a few options and let her decide when I picked her up. (a lot of people differ on this and say to make the decision and lead, but in this situation, and most, I like letting the woman have some choice in the matter. As always I feel out every situation and if I feel she wants to be led then I lead)(another side note on picking her up, this can go both ways in my opinion. There is no quick ditch option but it can be more "intimate" I suppose) So, I get to her house with a text that I have arrived and when she exits the house I immediately exit the car and walk to the passenger side I greet her with a hug and open her door for her( a definite habit from my LTR but she ate it up) I then gave her the options for the date coffee at small coffee shop drink at bar with some games to play or a walk on the beach. Turned out Sarah was only 19 and had somehow gotten into the bar and ordered drinks without getting IDed. No biggie over 18 but that ruled out going to the bar, she said she didn’t like coffee and a walk on the beach it was. She had recently moved into town and being familiar with my own place of residence I offered to show her some interesting less traveled areas of my small beach community. While driving around to these places I was making jokes and she was laughing her ass off, I tried my best while driving to do some light kino mainly pushing her arm while telling a joke.

We finally make it to the beach and I realize there is a small outside art show happening, (fucking perfect) which we decide to peruse. We pass vendors and I find one whose wares I find interesting and comment to the vendor about them. (showing interest to others to up my value (or so I thought, not sure if this added anything in her eyes))

We continue along and finally reach the end I tell her lets go sit on one of the beach accesses, she agrees. Up to this point I have been doing light kino, placing my hand in the small of her back when crossing streets, grabbing her arm to lead her a certain way. When we make it to the access to sit I begin to escalate first by sitting close enough so our legs touch and then casually letting my hand brush her upper thigh when moving. I noticed a small tattoo on her lower leg and made a point to touch it and outline the shape with my finger. Similar things continue for a few more minutes and she asks if she can smoke a cig (not a huge turn off for me I used to smoke and don’t mind the smell and am not her dad so smoke it up skip you’re going to die someday) this is my chance, she pulls a cig out and right before she lights I push her hand holding the cig away and say there is something I need to do first and without letting her react I immediately go in for the kiss. It is welcomed and I can tell she is impressed by my confidence/forwardness.

From there we make one more lap of the art showing and head back to the car. by this time, it is getting dark and I ask her if she would like to continue hanging out or if she would like me to take her home (I like to let women make the decision of being with me and I am happy to give them opportunities to leave so they can feel in control and not like I am forcing them to do anything) She says she would like to hang out more so I suggest getting a few beers and sitting on the beach which turns into sitting on the lifeguard chair because fuck sand. The lifeguard chair was perfect, just wide enough so that we could both comfortably sit only if my arm was around her. After a few sips of our drinks she had her legs over mine and I was rubbing them without thought. Things started to escalate further, groping and making out. we finished our beers and went back to the car to get another where I stopped and just rested on my rear bumper she immediately came to me and we made out more. She then turned and had her ass rubbing into my groin. It was here she asked, “so what do you want to do tonight?" I came back with, “I think it is pretty apparent what I want to do tonight" she smiled/giggled and asked if I could take her to use the bathroom somewhere. Shortly thereafter we were parked at another beach access and the sexual tension was high, I slowly kept pulling her closer and closer to being in my lap in between kisses. And from there it was on, nice to finally break the car in.

TL; DR: Met girl at bar, text girl next day, things work in my favor.

Would love any advice on the FR and how to make it more helpful.
