I don't feel like writing a whole field report, but some notes at least will be valuable. First of all this woman made my day. I was really not in a very good mood lately, to the point that I was thinking why to even go to another date, and although nothing really happened just her energy made me feel well in a masculine way.
First of all I went out to meet her very close to my house, and I knew she was coming out from a language course. She is Ukranian and learning the local language here after coming due to the war. Last time I met her, she is the girl in the group of 4 I approached daygaming last week, she was more casually dressed, so I expected something similar.
And I see her, and she is wearing some classy light coloured heels, a longish black wavy dress and something nice at the top that she was covering holding her books in front of her chest. My point is I saw her, and I thought: Wait did she really do all this for me? And it's nice because I guess I've been feeling a bit too unattractive lately, so her coming like this just put a smile on my face instantly.
I went up to her we greeted each other, I looked her up and down and told her she looked lovely, and she thanked me. And she was warm, I mean I could feel the energy, after a long time I spent a big time of the date fairly hard, so from the beginning it was just feeling good.
We went to the bar close by, took some tea, and sat at the same couch I have been bringing most girls. I had also been giving some light touches at her back, also teasing her slightly, about looking like a schoolgirl with her books and being a good student.
When we sat, she kept some distance between us, not abnormal anyway, and she also had her arms crossed, but we started talking. She went from the side of my broken arm so I was either trying to touch a bit with these fingers naturally, or with the other hand when it made sense.
We talked about what we are doing, in fact she talked way more than me, told about her psychology degree, kinda her life story a well, from studying like crazy at school and getting best grades to becoming a psychologist, then going for a phd in pedagogics and eventually leaving Ukraine after the war and coming here, where she does social work with other refugees.
We also talked about hobbies, and even exchanged some videos of our theatre performances, as she also took part in a small play. We had talked about her past, hobbies, I asked her about adventurousness and she said she likes it sometimes and is not the person that plans meetings for the next month, also told me she enjoys what she is doing and would like to be working in psychology forever. So at some point I asked her about what guys she likes, because she mentioned something about a guy, no love interest really, but I made a spontaneous connection, didn't even think about it much.
She told me she likes masculine men, educated, I told her I like feminine women, especially when they go after what they want and have their own life. She made a joke about how maybe it would be nice to have someone take care of everything and her having to do nothing as she has never tried it, and by the way she said it I felt she mentioned she can enjoy with someone else, I wasn't really sure what she was saying and misinterpreted it telling her jokingly that I cannot be the guy paying for everything, but the other other guy she is enjoying herself with yeah. Not even sure if she understood exactly what I meant.
Then she asked what I am looking for. I didn't want to say anything concrete, so I basically said I go with the flow, I don't believe you can plan things like relationships, you have to explore each other first, and if you feel like you want to spend more time together you do. Anyway, I think I expanded too much on it, and didn't give a clear enough answer which she didn't like.
She asked my age as well, I had her guess, she said around 30+, I told her 28, and she made a reaction of how big the difference is. I told her she looks she could be 28 as well, she thanked me for the compliment but I told her I really mean it, asked for her age, and she said 37.
She looked at me asking if this no problem, and I basically looked at her with confusion telling her why should it be? I told her I see the energy of people, and if I enjoy our time together, and also prefer women who are mature in the mind to connect better. I asked her how she feels about it, she told me that for her it is complicated, and also that she likes older men because of the life experience and knowing what they want, while when she asked me what I want I wasn't really clear.
I explained to her that I mean I am not looking for a relationship, that said I am generally open because you never know what life brings you, but I am also fine being single. She asked me if I am looking for something shortest, I told her it can be shorted, it can be longer if we like each other and want to meet more. I told her I cannot promise her living forever or for 10, 20 years, but I know I am enjoying her company and would like to spend more time with her, all this taking her hand and sensually holding it.
She was still pretty conflicted by the whole thing regarding the age, saying she would need someone for more seriously at this time, and oh how different it would be if she was 27 and it would be perfect, and that she also enjoys me and thinks I have finesse, I am smart, and also brave for coming to talk to her when she was with 3 other girls.
At some point we were lying back with our heads on the pillows, looking at each other from the corner of our eyes. I kinda started making a move for a kiss, but realised how far we were, and also as I was coming close I saw no reaction of hers anticipating it, so I casually stopped midway simply bringing my head closer to hers. At that point she told me I am doing something and hypnotising her, and I jokingly said with seductive eye contact how sorry I am for that.
We kept talking a bit there, I asked her for her plans, she said she would have to go prepare things for work, I also said I would have to prepare some things later but was thinking of inviting her for some wine. She said she didn't have time, so I didn't push it.
We stayed there pretty close looking at each other and talking, she asked me for example if I want to stay her and I said for now yeah, later who knows and asked her back. I thought about going for a kiss sometimes, but wasn't sure if it's a good practice to go for it now, it wasn't really a fear of escalation, but more a fear of what if I go for it now and if it even works, will that be better for next times, or staying in this seductive mode without going for it sets a better frame? Anyway I think I appeared too hesitant because of this strategic overthinking, and at some point she just said if we should go.
As we were getting up, I asked if she has time for a short walk, she said no and we can do it next time, so we started walking towards the tram station, and she asked if I've lived in this area for long and if I live, but I didn't consider them invitations at this point. While walking I started thinking that she wanted a masculine man, and if I don't at least try for a kiss, I may just appear too fearful. I knew that I had probably lost the window, but felt it would eventually set a better frame to just go for it. I even thought maybe it would be even better than the obvious couch kissing when we were closed.
As we were walking she said something, I looked at her and laughed she turned around walking in front, I gently grabbed her arm and turned her to face me and went for a kiss, but she turned her head slightly and let me plant it on her cheek. Funny thing is that I pulled her in with the right hand, so I instinctively raised the broken left one to hold her head for the kiss which obviously didn't work, and even if I wanted to manhandle kiss her, which wasn't what I was feeling in the moment, I couldn't really do it.
Immediately after that she asked if she was funny or something like that. I tried to understand and asked her back what she meant, it took a bit to really communicate there, she told me because I laughed before, and I basically told her I don't know yet we have just met but I am enjoying our time.
We kept walking talking about random stuff like languages we speak, cooking etc, nothing really erotic at this point even in the vibe that much but at least I was happy I remained quite relaxed after the failed kiss. I mean it really didn't seem like it affected me, I was just chatting normally.
We arrived at the tram station, and she had to wait for 7 minutes so I told her I would keep her company since we came all the way here and my place is very close anyway. We still talked for random things, something interesting, not sure how important, is that I was mostly standing looking straight but she spent most of the time at a 90 degree angle facing me. I also played with my weight a bit bringing it from one side to the other. When the tram came I opened my hands, she did come for a hug after first expecting me to go to her, she thanked me for the evening, and I told her to go go there and take it, because it was stopping a bit further than we were. I realised later I wanted to tell her to text me when she gets home safe, but I forgot. I think now I will send one tomorrow if she doesn't text first, telling her I enjoyed the evening and mentioned something related to her.
All in all, I truly enjoyed her energy, the vibe was to be kissing from the moment we met, I could feel the chemistry. That said I probably could have handled certain things better. I didn't want to say whether I want a relationship or not, because apart from not really knowing myself, I didn't want to say something absolute that could ruin my chances. But I should learn to express these thing in more clear words and more concisely.
Also I am not sure about the kissing, maybe I should have done it earlier, but I really don't know, my idea was to keep the tension up, and I was wondering whether releasing it with a kiss there would make sense. But then I felt maybe she will just think I am too much of a pushy, so I better just grab her and go for it randomly to show that if given the chance, I will make a move at least. Probably all of it at the wrong timing, so I have to really decide if I want to be kissing girls if we are not going to a seduction location, or not, and just stick with it and if I feel there is an opening for a kiss go for it. I really feel that the worst is coming off as scared to kiss, and sometimes I don't know if just staying there and keeping the tension is enough to make her feel you will make a move if you get the chance.
Last thing regarding the age. FIrst of all I really meant that she looked younger, around 30 for example, but apart from that it does seem I attract and go out a lot with older women, even 10+ years older. It's not that I do it because I have a fetish or something, I just like their refined feminine energy and don't even realise the age gap emotionally until they bring it up. And it's just sad, I'm trying to be real with them, but I don't know if it is something about my framing, or I am not exciting enough or what else. I've even kissed a bunch of 40+ year old women in fact, but after that nothing, and the worse thing is that I really feel the energy between us.
For this one specifically I don't have many hopes. I mean in general my hopes after a first date are not many, but judging from her whole thing about the age difference and the failed kiss, I don't believe there will be a next time. I'll try to keep in touch and organise something more, though. And anyway as I said from the beginning, don't know how it sounds, since I really did nothing with her eventually, but her energy did make feel better as a man in a way. And I am pretty glad I had this date, because it reminded me that there are some girls that you will just vibe well naturally, and it' not just about trying to sexualise something seemingly platonic all the time.
Also the hell, I think I did end up writing some kind of report in the end. I don't have many details regarding the conversation, but if anyone reads it, let me know if it feels report worthy, and I can also post it there for discussion.
