This was actually Sunday; I typed this up then and am only posting it now.
Brief cliffnotes:
Was invited out on a blind double date after work. Tonight was a fairly big step for me in getting out of my comfort zone. I went out with a girl I never previously knew and was able to be my charming, funny self.
Normally I find this hard unless I know the people I'm with. Lots of kino and seductive EC but no kiss due to inaction on my part. Got her phone # at the end of the night and she tells me to call her.
the actual FR:
Girl from work invited me out with her bf (one of my friends) and her friend tonight, we decide to go to the boardwalk. I meet up with them and introduce myself to the friend, a very cute 7.5-8 (HBfriend).
We head out and I'm in the back seat of my friends car with her. On the way there we talk a little bit, no major conversations, then I start an argument with the other couple about the poor music selection and HBfriend joins in on my side of the argument. We spend a little while choosing songs off the ipod and making fun of the others some more. At this point we were beginning to develop a good rapport, I introduced some kino by touching her arm and hands while we were messing with the music. Eventually we were singing parts of the songs together.
When we get nearby the boardwalk I tell my friend to pull over at a convenience store and tell HBfriend to come inside with me, which she does. She gets some water and I buy a bottle which we can conceal our alcohol in. She laughs as I walk out of the store and promptly dispose of all of the disgusting 'mandarin orange green tea with ginseng and honey lemon' - it happened to be the only opaque bottle.
We get there and make our way over to the rides, and debate our ticket purchasing options. I place some neghits on HBfriend, and start joking and flirting with the other girl as she just tries to make my friend jealous, but its worknig both ways. We all argue for a solid 7 minutes before deciding to play mini golf instead of going on the rides. We head back to the minigolf, and HBfriend grabs my hand as we walk up the stairs. I think great, as she has opened the door for me to elevate the kino from here, which I do.
We decide the minigolf course not only sucks but its far too crowded, so we had back out to the rides. I kept strong on the kino, holding hands, putting my arm around her, etc., and she returns it. We finally get some tickets and then spend another 10 minutes arguing which ride. I grab the ticket book from my other friend, tell HBfriend to follow me, and head over to one ride and gave the attendant the tickets for the two of us. She followed, then the other ocuple came over too.
While waiting HBfriend sees another one of her friends and her bf. They are talking ignoring the rest of us. I start up with the C+F (liquid courage has helped me get more comfortable TBH), and call HBfriend out on being rude for not introducing us, interrupt their conversation, and introduce myself to the two of them. HBfriend gets a kick out of this, I let her finish talking to them, we get on the ride, and had we not been spinning around with strobe lights going off this would've been my first opportunity to land a kiss, as she grabbed my hand during the ride and kept looking into my eyes as we went around. She was trying to tell me something but there was music blasting far louder than her so I just lean over and tell her I can't hear a damn word she's saying but that's ok and she laughs.
We get off and decide on another ride, and realize we need more tickets because we didn't buy nearly enough. My friend hands me some of the leftover ones from the first time and I end up losing some of them (by this point HBfriend and I had shared half a bottle of jager, although I was only mildly buzzed to be honest) which fortunately was no big deal as they weren't enough to matter, and the others got a kick out of it.
The other ride the girls wanted to ride together so my friend and I each had a seat to ourselves for the 3 minutes. I look back and the girls decide to rub each others nipples, I simply smiled and winked.
We get off and walk down for some food. I point out a corvette thats up for raffle as we walk (this set the stage of a joke later, this isn't a random detail). We sit down and HBfriend is grabbing my arm and staring into my eyes (missed kiss opportunity #2) we continue to make small talk and joke around. She gets a call from her mom saying she has to be home by 12 (it was around 9:30 at this point) and she starts talking about how she hates this and that. I get her off the negative subject and keep the conversation light.
After eating we begin walking back the way we came, and I kept with the kino. We pass a crowd of people and I insist on investigating while the others wanted to keep going. I head over by myself and make them wait for 2 minutes. I come back and tell them it was the worse magician I had ever seen, they laugh, and we keep walking.
We pass a boat on the boardwalk up for raffle and I mention something along the lines of "Hey seriously wasn't this thing a corvette like 10 minutes ago?" more laughs, she grabs my arm, and we keep walking. We get back to the car, and sit around it for a couple minutes watching the fire dept put out a hotel that was on fire. We're about to leave and HBfriend says she has to go to the bathroom but that she'll wait. I insist on taking her to find one because I knew at this point my friend was desparate for some isolation with the other girl, and because I wanted some alone time with HBfriend.
So, we find a bathroom, we head back, more kino, missed kiss opportunity #3, and I start talking to strangers along the street asking if they know how the fire started. Everytime I approach someone she tries to pull me away or hits me (that "nooooo don't do that but its funny keep doing it" sort of thing girls do).
We get back in the car, we're in the back again, this time she's lying down resting her head on my lap. I have my arm around her and am stroking her hair. She periodically looks up and stares into my eyes (missed opportunities #4,5,6,7,8.......). We soon hit traffic, and she asks me for more alcohol. I tell her no, she has to drive later, and that she could drink with me some other time. She starts to playfully beg, then insists, and
I keep telling he off. I decide to get the mood back up again. I'm entirely sober at this point, but I was able to maintain the C+F I had going while backed by my buzz. I roll down the window and start talking to people in the cars next to us. I start off by mentioning how badly the traffic sucked, asked them what exit they were trying to reach, wished them luck, shared in their lamentations, etc.
All 3 of the others were really getting a laugh out of my conversations. At one point I told a woman with Florida plates that she was heading north, consequently the absolute wrong direction to be going to get to Florida. I asked a mexican how to say "this traffic sucks" in spanish just in case of the event I should meet any other spanish speaking drivers. I even repeatedly tried hitting on these 4 girls in one car who were seemingly ignoring me, but actually had their windows up (they looked down I swear); "How you ladies doing? Where you headed? Come on don't act like you can't hear me! Are you always this antisocial?". The others busted me on my stupidity for that one (Can't you see the glare! The windows are up!).
As a sidenote it is incredible how friendly all the other drivers were. These same people that typically cut you off, exchange the middle finger with you, and slam on their horns, were quite receptive to the opener "How bad does this ****in traffic suck?"
In the middle of one of my conversations HBfriend says "Ugh I need more water I hate the taste of plain jager". I act all serious and said "You took advantage of the fact that I wasn't paying attention and drank after I clearly stated no more for you? That's it, I can't talk to you anymore" and turned around to look way. She starts grabbing me and trying to apologize and I ignore her for a little while before allowing her to lie back down on my lap.
We get back to the lot where we all met up, and I have her to program her # into my phone. Then I tell her to come for a ride, and drive her (30 feet) back to her car. We sit and talk a little, nothing major, miss the final opportunity for a kiss of the night, we hug, we both say we had a great time, and she tells me to call her.
Probably got another laugh out of her as I tried to leave the lot, driving straight to what was not even close to an exit, then opted to do some parking lot offroading back onto the street rather than turn around.
I'm kicking myself for not going for the kiss, yes I should have, although I'll undoubtedly get an actual date later this week or next after I call her. Already planning on going minigolfing, which was her suggestion for tonight in the first place. One of the reasons I think I held back is because the other girl has been hooking me up with a lot of her friends lately; Not that I'm complaining, but I don't want to become known in her circle of friends as anything negative then blow things with all of them. Rather have one (well maybe two or three ) than none.
