Met the shy girl from match last night. Too many fuglies on match? Not this one...25 yo, slender, brown hair and brown eyes. Funny all the resemblences to my ex....same college, same age, same quirks.
Met for a drink. It was pretty boring. I ask her something, she answers, and then she asks the exact same question back to me. It seemed to be going nowhere and I was ready to give up and call it a night, but on the way out she asked to go get a drink. So, took her to an place with outdoor patio overlooking the skyline. She finally loosened up when I started telling stories about my family, growing up, and other things about my life. Her demeanor changed and she came out of her shell. Got more flirty, she started touching me and we demonstrated martial arts we knew on each other, even developed some inside jokes. Should have ended it there on a high note, but I think I dragged it out just a little too long by going to play pool with her afterwards. Lesson learned yet again...end the night when it's going great.
Assuming it getting a little boring at the end didn't completely kill the attraction, everything else went well. Will write or call her back in a few days and see what happens.
