(24m) I want to preface this with the fact that, although I'm a lurker, I'm not a super devout follower of the typical tenets of r/seduction. However, I did take home a few of the messages within the advice I've read here, one of them being confidence, which I have struggled with before. This isn't a field report as much as a reason to brag a little.

I had a date tonight with a girl (HB7) from OKC that I have been talking to for a little over a week. I decided to just be myself and not care whether a second date would happen and just try to enjoy myself. I did have fun and, in turn, she also had a great time. Lots of laughing, smiling, kino, and all that jazz. I did end the evening with a k-close, but one thing she said really stuck with me. After some kissing before parting for the evening, she said: "Your confidence is arresting... But not in bad a way. It's like you're saying, this is what's gonna happen. Like you're leading a dance."*

I can honestly say that I've never expected to hear that from her, let alone any woman. Like I said earlier, I've had confidence troubles, but after lurking and reading successful reports and helpful articles posted here, I seemed to have slowly built up that confidence without realizing it myself. It's a wonderful and empowering feeling to be told something like this out of the blue. I feel like I can accomplish anything right now. I have a second date scheduled for Friday and I expect it to go just as well as this one. Thanks, and thank you for reading. TLDR Have had confidence issues. Had a date. K-close and was told my confidence is awesome. Second date already scheduled.

EDIT Fixed a word. It was 3 in the morning, so I guess a mistake was bound to happen, haha. For some reason I kept thinking to my self "that wasn't bad" and typed it out.
