This past weekend, I pulled a girl from the bar for the first time in 7 months.
It was pretty smooth sailing at the bar. Handled typical objections (finding her friends & how is she gonna get home afterwards).
I actually remembered to move/isolate her. I did better at leading than I have in the past (which were big sticking points for me). However, I could’ve seeded the pull & verbally/physically escalated a bit more at the bar (need to work on that).
As we’re leaving the bar I invited her back to my place to smoke. Which she agreed to enthusiastically.
Once we get to my place, we play a couple games of pool & smoke. I noticed that her shoes came off as soon as we got there (usually a good sign).
After we played pool I went to sit on the couch and motioned for her to sit next to me (she was leaning up against the pool table). She said that she was fine standing there while we were talking.
After a few minutes she sat next to me and I put my arm around her while we talked some more.
While we’re talking I do the triangle-gaze and I thought she was doing the same thing, so I go in for the kiss and she leans back so I laugh it off and continue the conversation. I notice that her leg is crossed opposite of me for a while then back towards me for a bit. After a few more minutes I go back in for the kiss and she leans back again. I act as if nothing happens and we keep talking.
A bit later, she mentions that’s it’s getting late (4AM and we got to my place at 2AM). She starts throwing out objections like she has to feed her friend’s cat, she has to wake up early for work, and could I drive her back to her car.
I tell her that I’ll drive her back to her car in the morning and make sure that she’ll be back in time to go to work. She’s fine with that and shortly afterwards I try for a third time to kiss her, but again the same response.
Then she follows this up by saying that she didn’t want to get involved with someone if it wasn’t for a long-term relationship. She also said that she enjoyed just talking & chilling. I fucked up by saying that I like talking with her too but that I wasn’t looking for anything serious. We we’re both grown and this might be only time she would see a guy like me (paraphrasing a bit).
Feeling confused, I decided to throw on a movie and we both ended up falling asleep on the couch. After I dropped her off at her car, she said the classic “It was nice meeting you.”
I’m not sure if I took too long to make a move after we got to my place or if it was a lack of escalation for this to go sideways like that. I’m open to your thoughts & opinions.
