So with a little encouragement from SirChodicus, I headed back to the beach today, my trusty foamy surfboard in hand. There were babes galore at four pm. But I headed for the waves first. I paddle out and there was absolute fit bird out past the break. She with her mixed gender group friends. They were all surfing. I really wanted to talk to her but I'm not sure how to pull that off in the ocean. Lots of ppl are around. A wave could come and she takes it in and that the end of the convo. There's no way to number close. I think i just going to just treat the surf as a dojo. It's a sacred place. I'll get em on the land.

And that I did.

After about a 40 minutes I came out specifically to make a move. But by then most of the women I saw when I arrived had left. There was one girl left. I though she was attractive and started my walk up. I pulled off though because she looked a little paler and heavier than originally though. Maybe I was being judgmental or using that as an excuses for my AA.

I walked the beach and saw one or two sets could make a move on. But there was one woman who caught my eye. She was coming on the beach dressed in a denim dress and with large woven beach bag. Her style told me that she had European sensibilities, which I like. She but her bag down and though about approaching then but I decided to let her get settled. In that moment she has an agenda: unpack, undress, lay down. In a another moment she would be care free. So I kept walking farther down the beach and then I doubled back.

Now she was laying in her black bikini with shirt over her head. I said "hello" She pulled off the shirt and popped up to a seated position. She said "What's up mate?" I thought for sure she's British, this is gonna be great. I used the same opener as yesterday. She let out a huge smile and said "thanks." I didn't say anything I let her keep smiling and placed board right next to her towel and sat on it facing her.

I asked her how she was and she asked me how the waves were and then started telling me how she went in the morning. I noticed a scar on her left shoulder. It was two dots next to each other, almost like cigarette burns. She noticed me look and explained that she got them in a ayahuasca ritual. I think she was very conscious about the scar but her bringing that up lead beautifully into a deep conversion about philosophy, religion, our childhoods and a little politics. We talked probably for about and hour and half. I'm pretty smitten with her. She's got a world view I can get down with. She's drop dead beautiful. Above all she was just fun to talk to. I loved teasing her and getting little rises out of her and seeing how comfortable she is with her self.

I had to leave to go a zoom meeting and when I left, I left her with my phone number. I told her to text me right then. She told me no but she'd text me later. Which I respect. I just hope she does. and with the state of my text game it's kind of a relief. If she text it will be because she want to see me. I can't do anything to fuck that up.

Tomorrow I'll go again. This opener is solid and maybe by next week I'll have a woman who's down to kick it with me. I'm gonna work on getting started earlier in the day. I've been running to lose weight. But I haven't been consistent. I tell my self i'll do it early in the morning but I check the phone, and make breakfast and watch YT videos and then it's 10 o clock already and I don't go for a run. Well now right here I'm committing to run first thing in the morning.
