first of all this isn't "one-itis". im not asking how to get the girl back or anything. what im trying to figure out is what i could have done better to improve my results.
last night i had a date with this HB9. we planned to go have a cup of coffee and she called and said that she was going have a few drinks with her friends but she wanted me to come. so i went, we had some drinks then decided to go play pool. (me, her and all of her friends) we were having a great time so i tried to move in for a kiss and she turned her head. shes asked me if i was having a good time and i tell her yes. later she tells me that she really likes me but i act like an a$$hole sometimes and it pisses her off. i say, well if you dont like it.... (mistake number 1, i should have said,"what...you can't take a joke? i wasn't even really being that ****y. i turned it down quite a bit from what i usually do. im trying to let things come more natural than use the canned lines) we also got into a conversation about drinking. she pretty much goes out every night after work to "wind down" (works 2 jobs and is going to school to be a paralegal...yea like a lawyers assistant...jackpot) she says because thats really the only way that she can wind down. i say something like,"well there's other things you can do besides drinking to have fun and if you dont have to drink just to relax" (what i should have said was," ... and if you don't turn out to be a wierdo, maybe ill show you")
later i walk her out to her car so i can talk to her away from her friends. she didn't even want to talk so i said,"ok then, nice to meet ya. hope you find what you're looking for" then close her door and walk away. of course she chases after me. we start to talk and shes just been screwed by guys in the past and shes tired of games. she dated one guy for 3 years, brought him home to mom and everything. during the third year she finds out he has a 1 year old son. 2nd guy, 33 (she's 21) just stops all contact with her after 4 months of dating. so i pull the whole..."im not really looking for a girlfriend. im just meeting people and making friends and if there's happens to be a connection, great" (mistake?) then i tell her to give me a call when she figures out what she wants and walk away again. she opens the door again and asks if i want to go home with her (wtf?!?! first date) i ask why and she says that she just doesn't want to drive home alone. so i tell her that ill follow her home to make sure she gets there alright since she's had a lot to drink. so im like,"ok just let me go inside and pay for the pool table and get my ID back.
she asked,"what if im not here when you come back out". so ireply,"well i guess that means ill be going home" and walk inside. (mistake?) she drives off after that. so i go pay for my table, tell her friends by and that it was nice to meet them. (i could tell her friends thought i was cool)
i screwed up when we were walking out to her car and i asked what was wrong. i said something like,"i was having a great time till i noticed you started acting differently". i showed that her mood effected mine which is bad for a first date. also a couple of times while we were playing pool she told me that she really likes me but couldn't be in a relationship with me because i act like an a$$hole. i just kind of shrugged it off and said,"well thats who i am". anyone have a better response to this or see any point where i could improve my game. please do tell. i want your input.
what i think could be the case is that she really is into me but she's just scared that ill turn out like the other 2 guys she dated and doesn't want to risk that happening again. (p.s. i've already decided not to call her for at least a week, if ever. if she calls me, great. if not no biggie)
