Well, they both flaked. I decided to try a third date attempt, one who was much more reliable. As I was about to call her, she IMs me and asks me out for dinner. I accepted.

She initially wanted to go out for dinner, but I am poor these days, so I asked her to go to the supermarket with me to get food. We could then cook at my place. She reluctantly agreed.

She was late. I called her and it turned out she was still sleeping. Half an hour later we meet up. She again requests that we go out, and even offers to pay for me. For the first time, I drop my rule of not letting girls pay, and accept. We get okay food and I even have enough left over for another meal.

I brought her back to my place. She paid for my dinner, so I guess I have to put out! We watched a movie, I escalated. After the movie was done and the special features were exhausted, I went for the kiss. For some reason I am still uncomfortable with going for a kiss, even if my groping has gotten pretty far. Once I get a kiss in, I escalated a lot better.

She claimed she was sick and didn’t want to give me anything. I kept going anyway. She eventually told me to stop seducing her. I obliged for a few seconds.

Eventually she left. I walked her to the train station, but when I went for a kiss, she went for a kiss on the cheek. Oh well.
