Posted this is Foxy's thread, but better suited here.
I'm wrecked today lads. New bird from work I fancy, and it was her birthday this week. Another lid at work fancies her too, so I needed to move quickly and assertively. Asked her out for last night. She was supposed to come up to the restaurant and go out from there but didn't show and didn't respond right away to a text. So I thought "right, that's off". Then I got home and around 11:30 I get a text from her saying "sorry my mom took me out for my bday, do you wanna still get a drink?" Debated it as I was comfy and it was almost midnight by that point, but then I asked myself "what would Jdawg do?". Literally, I was unsure and I asked myself what advice I would give if one of you were asking me this question. So I said yes, and got her to come down to a place a block away from my house. She was already pissed and I worked at this place for a month last year, so I know all the bartenders, and they hook me up with free shots and drink. We got a snoot full for like $12. Shots, drinks, you name it.
So we hung around after close for a while (it pays to be an insider) until about 2:30 and left. Walking out to her car, she said we should go back to your place and hang out. "umm yes, I think that's a great idea".
Anyway, she stayed over, but full disclosure I didn't slot her because we were on the couch talking and having a great time and eventually she just put her head in my lap and fell asleep in like 2 minutes. So after 30 minutes of watching TV with her asleep in my lap, I woke her up and said we're going upstairs to sleep. Cuddled and spooned. It was nice despite no sex.
But basically I didn't fall asleep until like 5am and even then I didn't sleep that well from being drunk and having a girl draped over me. Luckily I have nothing to do today and not working tonight (she is).
I realize that's not in the Jdawg hall of fame stories, but it was a boss Friday night anyway. And it didn't even start until I left the house at 12:30am.
Lesson 1: When you're old you won't remember all the nights you got a good night's sleep.
Lesson 2: If you fancy a girl, chances are someone else does too. Don't mess around. Start developing rapport right away, and just go for it. I'd rather go for it and be told it's not on, than not go for it and see some other guy move in and maybe find out later it could have been on if I had just tried.
No idea what will happen here, but got a boss night out of it and we definitely developed a connection. Whether or not I'm her type looks wise is a different matter. I think she likes guys with tats and stuff so we'll see.
