haha wait you're right, what i'm feelin now isn't even close to some of the REALLY ridiculous one-itises i used to have...like the one i had freshman year, geez you don't even want to know how bad it was
Weirdly though, my attraction for Sherman C seems to be completely of #2 that you said, the emoitonal sh1t like "we'd be great together" and stuff and like NO sexual attraction...strange. but ya you're right I'm not to the extenet where I'm like imagining us doing EVERYTHING together as a couple.
AND one-itis implies one. since i feared having it with Sherman C, that's why I now have a report for....
Psuedo-Date with Mel K (girl who randomly fb chatted me one day, this was the first time i had ever met her in person)
Backdrop
So for those who don't remember waaaaay back, she randomly fb chatted me this one day about some assignment for a class that we both had but in different periods. Good thing for me, I got her number, did C&F and she ended up givin a little attitude herself. We ended up turning some paper thing into a bet of who would get a better grade. We got the same grade, but turns out my bet was that I would get a BETTER grade so she won the bet. Forgot how the payment turned into ice cream, but I remember I said I was going to get ice cream that one day and she suggested I could buy her some as the prize...since I wasn't originally really interested in her I just kind of didn't show much interest in her for a while, until this week.
Before
About an hour before, I started getting the butterflies and jelly arms and legs just a bit. It wasn't that I liked this girl that much already, it was more kind of that "anxious" feeling of how I was going to "perform" on this "date" after believing myself to be much improved with females.
The Beginning
Had trouble finding her house but it was all good. She stepped into the car, I see her for the first time in person. Wow, she looked a lot better than I thought she did in her fb pics. Then I noticed something else. She had perfume on and I could smell it pretty heavily.
We really got the conversation going easily. I got much less nervous and the conversation was flowing so well I had that feeling you get with someone where you could pick so many different ways to lead the conversation but you just don't know which one. My confidence grew considerably and I made sure to hold eye contact sometimes (even though I was driving) and not always talk. She seemed to be laughing at everything I was saying and going along with my dumbest, smallest jokes and comments (like commenting on cars that were on the road)
The Ice Cream
I did manage to initiate kino in the car, I put my hand on her shoulder briefly while saying something. When we got to Oberweis, I was seriously feeling very in control. I noticed my confident, positive body language, always making slow, defined movements. I held the door open for her very naturally.
I was actually surprised by how well I kept the conversation going, given I haven't had any social activity since Friday. When we were ordering, she told me to order something for her. Well, I made up my mind pretty quickly and ordered one of my favs for her. Turned away and made some joke about the cashier.
Eating the Ice Cream
We ended up sitting across from each other at a table for two, even though I would have preferred sitting like at two sides next to each other of a square so that we weren't directly facing each other. Felt a little awkward at first but the conversation made it all better. Was good cuz she kept laughing at everything and this encouraged me. A few times I just stared at her smiling when she said something interesting until she started laughing again.
Did less C&F than I did with Binny K (lol i took her to this very same oberweis...) but I think that was a good thing because my C&F before seemed a little unnatural. I ended up telling her a lot more stories and talking a lot more than I usually do with girls. Maybe it's cuz she was actually pretty quiet, ESPECIALLY for the kind of attitude (not bad, like a C&F attitude) she was giving me over text.
The one thing I did kind of grill her a little bit on was how she was talking about everything in her life so negatively, basically saying that it sucks. There were some little kids behind me so I looked at them for a while and then talked to her a bit about childhood memories. Just realized, this is a REALLY good way to click with someone! MOST people have great childhood memories, at least a couple. Even though she didn't have many, I remember reading this one thing saying that girls LOVE to be brought back to the fun they had in their childhood...even though that article I think was geared toward adults who have to ****1n work all day long.
A Twist
My dad called me and basically told me to drive home right NOW and that if I wanted to stay out I'd have to drive my mom's car instead. Wellllll I didn't want the "date" to end right there but I couldn't say "lets go to my house and then drive back her or somewhere random" so I kind of subtlely started a converation about games....competitions....then bowling. I can't even remember how I did it. But then I just popped out, "Wait wanna go bowling right now?" I hesitated a little before asking this, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have had the confidence to do it if she hadn't been so approving of everything I was saying.
She hesitated for a sec i think and said "Um, sure!" and I was actually kind of amazed at how easily I pulled it off. I told her I had to drive home first and switch cars, so we did that.
Bowling
By now in the car I kinoed her much more, a couple times. I even started singing along a little bit with the radio which I usually only do when I'm driving alone or with a good friend...again amazed at how comfortable I was.
Side Note
Lately a lot of wisdom about confidence has been going through my head...how part of true and total confidence is accepting one's own shortcomings. Well because of this, lately whenever someone says something bad about me, I make absolutely no effort to defend myself. If it's a joke, I go along with it, or if it's true criticism I take it constructively.
How is this relevant? Well as the night went on I noticed that I said a few bad things about myself. When she asked me about colleges, first thing I said was that I got denied by my dream school. Listening to the radio, I turned it up saying that I didn't actually wanna hear my own voice when I'm singing along with a song (she laughed at this). Also, when we were at Oberweis I was telling her about how much I suck at bowling. When I did get a strike on one frame, I played it off modestly.
-End Side Note-
-Continue Bowling-
When we got there the guy told us it cost $15 for the both of us. On the inside I was like "Fuc|<!!!" but I didn't say a word and paid it all...AFC or classy? I'm not sure, but I think I would have felt really awkward telling her to pay. I guess it's a good thing cuz then she considers it a real date?
The Actual Bowling
Was pretty fun. I sucked, as I said. First frame, I bowled two gutterballs and she did the same. I played it off cool and asked her about 3 times total if she wanted to turn it into a bet but she said she sucked too much to.
At first I was doing okay and she was doing terrible so I encouraged her. She got a strike or something, I got some good kino doing one of those face-to-face double high fives and stuff. One time when I gave her a high five she held on to my hand. I stood with my hands on my hips and leaning back with my pelivs forward slightly when it was her turn to go. She kinoed me back once when I was standing in her way and she put her hand on my outer chest while walking by.
Oh and also think I should mention, I got the impression tonight that she's usually kind of a shy girl. (believe it or not, that's always been a turn-on actually for gf types...probably cuz i used to be ultra-shy myself)
After being ****y a bit and encouraging her, she picked up my attitude a bit and started challenging me a bit. When I said "bring it on", instead of backing down she pushed back a bit. Good.
Embarrassingly enough haha, she ended up beating me. I really do suck at bowling, I bowled an 82 and she scored an 87 (had a strike in frame ten that put her ahead of me...rats). I joked that nobody beats me at two things and she was playfully ****y, "yeah i'm just amazing..."
Car Ride to her house
I let the silences go a bit longer and wait for her to initiate again cuz I was a little tired of talking all the time, even though I was telling a few good stories. She actually did open up a bit and kept the conversation going, which she couldn't do earlier.
I'd say my mind was reeeal smooth and put together right now. I started talking a little softer and talking a bit more about eh...arousing (?! don't think it's the right word) stuff. Talked a little about disney world, christmas lights and how beautiful they looked...but I didn't actually use the word beautiul. Also talked about how I LOVE driving with the windows open at night and tried to talk about the sensations a bit...
By now, I was really confident. I was thinking hell yeah for going for the kiss while before the 'date' i was really confused on whether or not it'd be weird if I went for it.
Weirdly though, my attraction for Sherman C seems to be completely of #2 that you said, the emoitonal sh1t like "we'd be great together" and stuff and like NO sexual attraction...strange. but ya you're right I'm not to the extenet where I'm like imagining us doing EVERYTHING together as a couple.
