- I'm on a 2.5 month drought.
- Last weekend I got a OLD with a HB5.
- We met at a bar.
- Initial chat was light and smooth.
- When we approached the bar I ordered first: a non-alcoholic beer (I don't drink). The greaseball barman tries to give me sh1t, but I engage him with lots of light hearted energy. I handled what could have been an awkward spot really well.
- She tries to order the same non-alcoholic drink, but they only have one, so she switches to an alcoholic one.
- We sit, and the conversation flows well. My posture is good. I maintain good eye contact even though I feel tired. I'm running the conversation well, trying to emotionally activate her, but keep it light.
- After the one drink, I suggest we walk, and we do, to a romantic lookout point. On the way, I point out where I live (up on a hill) and I jokingly complain about it.
- It was my first ever sober date, and I told her that.
- At the lookout point, conversation stalls. I kind of want to just kiss her. But we're sober, and it feels soon (i.e. no sexual tension / energy). I'm sure she picked up on that.
- She asked me what my least favourite thing about the city was since I arrived. I said "I don't know what loneliness feels like, but I've probably experienced some loneliness."
- I take her hand and start kissing her, she reciprocates. We kiss for a while. Then it's kind of like ... what now? I am thinking that I don't want to invite her to my place because it will come off as thirsty. But I do end up inviting her in a clumsy way. She politely declines.
- We kiss at her bus stop and the energy is good. And we part.
- We agree that, if she's free after work the next day, she'll come over and I'll cook for her. That was 100% my suggestion. She says that she'll message me the next day to let me know if she can make it.

So inviting her to my place the very next day after a first date is stupid and conveys thirst and desperation?
Complaining at all is negative and, I think, gives off whiny little b1tch vibes. We should always keep it positive, right?
Talking about loneliness is a self-pity vibe? (Antithetical to a powerful, independent vibe?)
Anything else?
