A couple of weeks ago, on a Sunday, feeling low cause I had only made an approach that day, I decided to go to a bar I've never been before which always looks busy. I ordered and the bartender asked me if I came for the event next room. I said I didn't know there was one; it was Latin folklore. Interesting. I drank my beer and then got in line to buy a ticket for the event. I made some chat with a guy in line. Then I had another beer (probably too soon to have it).
I was nursing my drink listening to the band playing when some girl positioned herself in front of where I was. After a few minutes I noticed she was alone so I tapped her shoulder and asked if she was familiar with the band…
I think that after discussing who the main band was going to be we exchanged names. I asked her where she was from, what was her profession etc. When she asked back where I was from I teased her (I usually tease a lot about it), then she asked me what I did [for a living] and I teased her saying I was homeless and unemployed (credit to Grand Pooba). I think she kind of believed it even though I was smiling when I told her.
I learned she was 8 years older than me. I let her guess my age and said I was one year older than what she guessed. She tried to tease me about me being younger, but I ignored it. She seemed quite warm toward me. At some point she glanced at two girl passing in front of us, like saying: don't you want to hit that? I then gave her an skeptical look (like saying I'm with you girl).
At some point I guessed that she wanted to study design but her parents pushed her into architecture.
There was a break between bands, and she went to buy beer. We had been talking about beer tastes, so she bought me my preferred one. I told her that she didn't have to and gave her what it cost. At some point the singer of the main band showed up among the crowd , and this girl challenged me to go say hi. We both did it and it was both awkward and fun, but I think I was a little graceful as well.
She said she was glad she came that night. At some point she pulled me into her to get closer to the stage. Later I pulled her into me when people tried to pass besides her. We were shoulder to shoulder during most of the concert.
At some point she told me she played the guitar and the ukulele, so I grabbed her hand and felt her fingers. She did have guitar fingers.
When the concert ended, I told her I was having fun and I wanted to spend more time with her. This is where thing started to go awry for me. I was now 4 beers drunk. I took my cellphone and tried to get an uber. She wasn't impressed but tried to help me. Unfortunately I didn't have any money in my debit card so I couldn't get one. We went to sit at a table at the bar patio. I quickly asked the bartender to ask a taxi for me. Then I took the girl by the hand and went to grab the taxi. This obviously went pretty bad.
Some guys were grabbing the taxi, but they saw me and asked
I told her yes, and that we were going to grab a nightcap. She said she had a bike, and that she was too old for [wherever I was trying to do]. The taxi driver was insisting we decided immediately because he was blocking the road. I told her we might not see each other again. At the end I just gave her a peck in the lips, I took the taxi and left, alone.
In retrospect, I think I should've just taken her to walk with me, and find a secluded spot to escalate, like and alley or something.
Anyway, me not being good handling logistics and also being drunk led to a disappointing night (and acting like a jerk at the end). At least I'm proud of how well the interaction went before the turning point, so I hope I learned my lesson...
