she: yeahh you found the bar one intresing , I have so many more dreamy things in my wishlist I have a whole bunch of them
me: okay so it's pretty coool, your dreams aer pretty unrelated very different form one another but they have this underlying thread of novelty and variety

she: okay
----------------------------------
Kiss phase
(I plan to isolate now get off at a relatively low crowd subway stop and kiss her )
me: ( I taker her out though the streets to the subway and we keep talking abt different topics while walking to the subway)
{ I ran out of topics from this point onwards and there was vsiible less organic flow and bit more forced rapport from my side}
me: so you're cafe that's going to be pretty cool when you get it up and running
she: yeahh it will be great
me: I can be your first customer, if you welocme me with care
she: yeah sure
me: you know there also these cafes of tesla where they operate robots,
and they serve food
she: really?
me: yeah it's pretty cool, maybe you can also have some robots at your cafe where they will sereve people
she: noo my cafe would have a lot more of humaness.
(I hold her hand in few places where there was bit heavy foottraffic and then leave and then agin hold it and leave *touch microescalations* no resisteance or discomfot on her part to these touches so seems like I am good for the kiss)
me: humaness like what a lot of people
she: yeah more warm freindly people
me: okayy and what would your cafe look like, amidst garden or more urban
she: I would like more extravagant design like a bit luxuirous
me: like the restaruant fiko, have you seen fiko it's by a chef
me: no I haven't heard of that one
she: okay, that's sort of the vibe i would like to go for
me: okayy, lets get to the subway from this side.
she: walks with me I holder her hand I guide her htough the lanes,
me: heyy you're going the wrong way it's this way
she: ohh sorry I just was spaced out
me: ohh how did you not see the way (lauhing lighlty )
you're the one with glasses you should be seeing more
she: smiling , you're a total roaster
me: yeahh kind of
she: I just stop thinking when I am travelling with someone my mind goes blank I just trust them that they will take me to my destination
me: okayy, don't do that, who knows where you might end up
she: yeahh you never know, but I will be somewhere atleast
me:yeahh keep you mind active , don't turn it off
she: yeahh I am going to keep it active from this point onwards
( we get to the subway and wait for our train) *the train arrives*
I engage her in small talk in the train as I am planning to get off with her at an isolated station,
As it is arriving I tell her -
Me: hey I am bit thristy, can we get off at the next station and get some water
She: yeah sure
*we get off at the isolated station and wait for the elevator*
Me: hey your glasses are quite thick , let try then
She: okay here you go
Me: I wear her glasses so I can kiss her.
*we get into the elevator no one is there on the station as well*
* She is looking at the phone in the elevator. I turn towards her and move to kiss her hokding her head shes a bit surprised ,moves a little back and says*
She: hey! I think you should ask first before kissing (a bit firm tone)
* I very close to her face so am a bit taken aback so stop for a sec but she didnt move her head back after saying it*
Me: oh sorry (I blurted out out of nervouness)
* but kiss her anways because she only moved her back a little)
*we make out for a few secs then break out as the elevator door opens*
She: my glasses she says ? putting out her hand
Me: here you go
(I am bit nervous as to did I cross a line , because she resisted a bit or it was fine)
(anyways I get some water from a shop and engage in her other topics so she doesnt say anything about the kiss)
[I talk to her about her time in student politics, local politics, she looks fine and is pleasant doesnt seem like the kiss was a deal breaker]
[We get back on the train, I get off at my station and we bid each other goodbye happily]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Texting
I text at night
Me: Had a good time todayhope you reached home safe
She: no response
Next day
Me: Hey studious betty

Betty: Hey arnav! It was nice talking to you but I didn't feel connection with you, Thanks for your time and vest of luck for your future.
Also, if you want to split the bill, send me the details. I don't want to cause any monetary loss.
[Yikes!! I was bit surprised after seeing this]
Me:Nah it's totally , I just like getting to know new people. Thanks for being honest.
Betty: Thanks for understanding
Me: sure no problem, take care betty
Betty: You too Arnav.
** sigh**
that sucked she texted me like an hr rejecting a interview candidate lol.
I am happy overall I progressed and made imorvement had sucessfull physical escalation, betyer from ladt time when the girl refused the kiss.
Anyways could you help me understand why she didnt feel connection?
I made sure I got her talking most of the time, made her talk about dreams and experiences, still she felt no connection and refused the second date.
