So I 've been working on how to improve in general. I'm still not cold approaching girls in the street, but I've been seeing a lot more result in these past months then I've ever had. I've gotten better at reading signals and the reason behind them, but I still slip up more often then I want, sometimes pretty bad too.
So I met a girl at a party last week when I was pretty drunk (stupid sure, but I guess I made an impression). She tracked me down through facebook.

Her: Hey, do you remember me? I atleast think It's you. We talked for quite a while and suddenly you were gone.
me: Sure sounds like me :p I was a long night so I don't remember everthing :S
Her: Haha how so? Running away like that? :d and yeah same here, everything was quite cheap :d But you do still remember me?
me: I don't remember your name, but I still recognize you, else I wouldn't have accepted
Her: hahahaha good ! and yea we talked for quite but you suddenly and I found that a shame ! :d
me: Can't remember that o_O But it sounds like we should do it again sometime
Her: yeah I can't quite remember everything but I do recall that. You were easy to recognize through your profile pic.
me: Always the profile pic haha (I have a drunk lama, some story with a friend)
Her: yeah you do look handsome in that haha :p
Because I really like the pic : number

So I texted her when she had time to meet up. She said she only had to attend 3 hours of class each week so she was available pretty much every week. I set up a date for wednesday. On tuesday I learned that a few classes dropped so I actually would have time that day. I suggested to do it then. She said she still had a group project and asked when I would be done. I mentioned after 4 oclock to which she said I should tell her when I was done.

When I was done I told her I was getting a bus now and would tell her when I would be there. She thought I would tell her when I was done because she still was wrapping up her group work. She mentioned to be done around six, so I suggested we met up 15 mins past 6, to which she agreed. She also agreed quite a few times for the misunderstanding and for keeping me waiting, to which I said I wasn't that much of a big deal, as my dorm was only 5 mins away.

So we met up and it showed we actually had a lot in common. I asked her if she wanted to watch a movie at my place and she agreed. We set up and she cuddled up to me on the bed. 2 mins later we were making out and 5 mins after that she took her panties off. All was going well till she her mum called. yikes ! She asked her to get home asap (she didn't know a thing about this though). So I escorted her to a bus stop and left once she was safely on it. I asked her if I could see her again and she said she wanted to.

Later on she said it was no biggie and that it was safe. The day after, at about 3 oclock after class I asked her if she was up to do something tomorrow, as we have thursday and friday off. This followed:

Her:Um, I have to work tomorrow.. But I should tell you something else :d I'm not looking for something serious at the moment..
Her: sorry :/
me: I'm just having fun but if you donn't want to meet up you should say so though :p
Her: I'm not sure yet
me: Ok, let me know when you made up your mind.


Now at first, when I sent this I thought it would be good to give her some space. Now looking back, I actually feel like I shot myself in the foot. I know I shouldn't get emotionally hung up on a girl and I think I'm not still, but I do want to know if this is salvagable or if not, what mistakes I should definitely avoid.

So I met a girl at a party last week when I was pretty drunk (stupid sure, but I guess I made an impression).
I notice when i drink i become more confident etc. sometime i can be an idiot but most control myself enough to set a good opening impression (you might be the same im not encouraging but it might be handy to test it out

Her: yeah you do look handsome in that haha :p

She wants you D so much (she investing)

Her:Um, I have to work tomorrow.. But I should tell you something else :d I'm not looking for something serious at the moment..
Her: sorry :/
me: I'm just having fun but if you donn't want to meet up you should say so though :p
Her: I'm not sure yet
me: Ok, let me know when you made up your mind.

Unless your looking for a relationship this message was the perfect time to set her up as a casual sex buddy but you played it off like you where looking for a relationship

If you made the convo go like this
Her:Um, I have to work tomorrow.. But I should tell you something else :d I'm not looking for something serious at the moment..
Her: sorry :/
You: its good that you mentioned that cause i wasn't looking for something serious either i was hoping for casual fun ;) (or something like that)

saying "me: I'm just having fun" was alright i guess But saying this was not good in my opinion "but if you donn't want to meet up you should say so though :p" because she did not mention anything about not wanting to meet up she just said she didn't want anything serious (there is nothing wrong with making assumptions but when the assumptions make her think you aren't positive about potentially being in a causal relationship then i think it is bad)

Im not a master of Text but you should probably try establish that your ok with being casual and that you aren't looking for something serious (probably do this by text or your next coffee date if you get one) (probably try establish this before you try pulling her to your place cause she might resist thinking your trying to force a relationship)

Yeah, I made more or less the same conclusion. I wasn't too sure what she mean with casual at first and it left me standing like a fool. I'm just wondering if i can still get it to the level of casual as I feel I put myself in a corner a bit.

After you sent that message have you sent her any messages since last time ?



this is just a stab but if you haven't message since then might be worth just sending a text like "Iv just realized im not looking for a serious relationship anytime soon so how about you come over Friday and we can finish the movie we start ;)"

not sure if it will work but she seem physically attracted to you so she might be down for it


And since its seems like your back is against the wall got nothing to lose

So yesterday I texted her that I just misunderstood what she meant with casual (just friends or with benefits), but that I would be up for it as I wasn't looking for something serious at the moment.
A few hours later she responded: "That's why I said I am sure yet :d" . Rather then the text, it seems I gave something off an off signal the day before. The only thing I can remember being off is me offering my arm as I walked her back to the bus stop. Anyway, I think it's for the best if I give her a few days to think before texting her back for another meetup. What do you think?
 
a good date brings a smile to your lips... and hers
