Movie Date: 2008-08-18

Went on a movie date with Japanese girl. I was losing interest in her, but I still enjoyed her company and wanted to watch the movie regardless. So I met her, we went to the theatre an hour early, and chatted a bit while waiting for the movie. I couldn’t raise the armrest separating us, but whatever. Watched the movie. After the movie, we were walking and somehow the topic of hot hands came up. She said something about not holding hands, I said that holding hands is strictly for the Winter, she added, “And with gloves!” At the subway we hugged and I kissed her on the cheek. I play shoved her with one hand when she turned around, she reciprocated. We got into fighting stances, but then got out of it and I left.

A combination of waning interest and anxiety caused me to just not try for anything more. Toward the end of the night I felt that we could have been more physical with each other, but it was late and I had a long ride ahead of me.

In addition to not going on movie dates, I should have met up with her earlier, so that we could spend more than an hour outside the movie. I don’t know why I decided to meet her an hour before the movie, that was really silly. I think she mentioned something about being busy at a happy hour when we planned the date.

Anyway, she’s heading into my friend zone. But I do need to be better at touching.
