Re: Don't Worry, Be Happy: NYE
This is a recap of New Years Eve. It was a Sunday and after a decent Saturday where I got side tracked by a friend who is not into pick up, I decided to head to my favorite bar/lounge. I begin as I always do getting a drink at the bar something that tastes good and I can hold. I stand at the bar as 3 other couples are there with bellowing laughter. Besides me, them, and a few others there aren't many people there. I chat with the bartender a bit, have small talk with one of the couples and move to place to just wait for more people to show up. I move to the lounge area where there are a few more people. Small groups of girls here and there. I begin going around the room chatting with the different groups of women. First two I talk two completely shut me down. They are clearly there for one of the bartenders and I can't even get them to look at me. I move on to the two on the couch, older women but nonetheless I try to open them. I get them talking asking them questions and them asking me, one is single and is very attractive but I catch them as they are leaving for the night, I don't fight them on this. Next, two girls in the lounge chairs, younger and very friendly, surprise they bar-tend at another local bar, they say they are going to do a bar crawl tonight and we talk a bit about their bar. Nothing special. Now more people show up and I find a girl whose energy I love. Catch her at the bar and she brings me back to her group of friends where I find out she is in some strange relationship with a guy and this girl but she's more like the third wheel we talk a bit then move the dance floor. Once there I notice a girl sitting against the wall, waiting. I go up to her and open her and we have a good conversation I get her talking about herself and she takes me over to her friends after we've danced a bit. This night is going well, I am digging deep and she is really opening up and there is clear attraction. We dance all night until the ball dropped where I convinced her to kiss and we had some champagne. More talk and dancing lead to me and her in her car as she is about to leave. We kiss a bit and we even talk about going further but she hesitates because I'm much younger than her. So, I leave as well since the bar is closed.
Thinking back on it I wonder if I spent too much time on her when there were many, many more girls there who were already open and having fun, giving signals and being wild. Yet at the time I thought it was moving towards something heavier. She did mention she wanted something serious but I would have felt rude just leaving her then, plus we were having fun.
