Hey,
please help me with 2 'cases' I am struggling with right now. How to recover one opportunity and how to invite other one out?
I have known the first girl for 3 years, we have been chatting on and off every 6 months. When one of us has wanted to get together, the other one hasn't been able to make it work. She wanted to come over once for wine, in summer. I was packing for a trip that night and couldn't have her around. Blew the chance #1.
I ignored her for a while from September, unfriended her in Facebook and in December started talking to her again. We agreed to meet to watch Sherlock and drink tomato juice some time(ongoing joke between us, it's healthier than wine and serves the same purpose). I asked her 2 times to come to my place for it, she replied, "Interesting proposal, I can't make it that night."
Then I took a massage course, asked her to come to my place to practice. So she got a couple of massages, enjoyed them and wanted to come back for more.
I did not escalate things sexually, actually needed the practice to pass the exam. After last massage I asked her to come along to an improv theatre show and she did. We enjoyed the show and drank a bit. Then I ****ed up - went in for the kiss, on the cheek, on the bus stop. She closed her eyes and turned her lips to me. I should've gone for the lips and sealed that part. Now she wants to be friends on Facebook again (no way) and takes days to answer my texts.
How can I recover from that mess?
Met the second girl through work, she's my client at the moment so we are meeting every few weeks. She seemed very interested and acts a bit nervous around me. Last time we met we talked about yoga. We take different yoga classes and thought it would be fun for the other one to try different class.
We were chatting on Facebook yesterday again and I reminded her of yoga, told her to come along tomorrow evening. I know her schedule and the days she's not working. She replied, "ow, unfortunately I have plans for tomorrow."
(My guess: I should have called her and talked about stuff for a bit before inviting her to come along, instead of just blurting it out.)
How can I invite women to do something so they'd most likely accept the plans and actually come along?
I would like to think they should probably offer alternative options to make it work, if for some reason they can't make it.
I'm 27 and not that experienced in dating yet. I used to be very naive and it took a few brief relationships to show me the real world. Few years ago I had a bad relationship, then withdrew from dating and now I'm getting myself back into the game again.
