Dating: How's your luck? - Page 868

Yesterday I had my date with the normal girl I mentioned. To my relief, she was indeed normal, so yay, for once I don't have to talk about what kind of mental illnesses they have or how many children they gave birth to already. I made a pretty neat date, though can't say blind luck was not on my side. Like, just when I brought her to show the parliament, it turned out there was a little ceremony there with the royal guard who let people take pictures with them at the end. Needless to say, she was stoked by it, since she is a countryside girl, so just like I'm still blown away by the big city, it was a completely new experience for her. I showed her around some pretty buildings, she even took a photo of some of them. My biggest achievment though is most likely the fact I did not get her behind. Like, I was marching to my own beat, since I knew the destination, but there were times when she was about to go on the exact opposite way, or she just stopped to marvel at the sight. It was a funny scene when I talked for like half a minute thinking she's still next to me, but she wandered around by then, haha.

As for her, she's a rather nice girl, you can't really pinpoint glaring annoyances. She is the middle child in a (compared to the average) rather normal family, she has 1 year back from becoming a teacher for little kids, she helps around in the family business, she likes cooking and in her free time she half-heartedly learns English. She even brought her exercise book with her, filled with bunch of words, translations, rules, all well-organized. And she does it on her own from an online language-learning site. She said she'd eventually like to settle and have kids. Basically she is the kind of girl who finds the "traditional mother role" appealing. She's also fascinated by cars, so not all of her hobbies and interests are "girly".

She seemed to prefer being the submissive one in a relationship. Can't really explain it, but the other three girls I've met so far were mostly showing dominant traits or at least expected me to fight. It was strange but I tried to accomodate my "role", so to say.

We discussed even before the meeting that we are not looking for a serious relationship, we live very far from each other. Thus I had a more relentless approach, brought up topics I would not dare (or even want) to talk about in a first date. There were some flirting, I eventually kissed her, but I would not be Volband, if the kiss happened right when we were almost drunk (we barely drank 2 beers, but turned out we are both prone to easily getting drunk, oops) and were sitting next to each other talking about intimate stuff, no. I kissed her after she finished eating her gyros (tl;dr it has onion in it. LOTS of it) and after some drugged homeless guy sat next to us on a bench. Nice! But honestly, it just felt lame doing it in the pub, it was just way too cliché. Anyway, we fondled a little bit, the most serious stuff was probably me trying to get my hand between her skirt and underwear. Emphasis on trying, because I couldn't. The skirt was way too tight, and I could only get my hand UNDER the underwear (from behind, we were still in a public place) and when presented with the choice of going further or just abandoning that mission I chose the latter.

I asked her if we should rent a place, but she insisted on going back, which I personally took as a failure. Later she said that we should negotiate: she leaves now, but sometime next week if I visit her, we could do - literal quote - whatever I'd like.

I thought she's gone for good, but she called me later that night, we talked about how we got home an a bunch of rather uninteresting stuff, but I appreciated it, I mean, it did show initiative. I asked her about next week, she said she doesn't know which day would be good for her.

Now, this girl traveled to the meeting place as well, almost as much as me, hell, she even had to pay for her trip, unlike me, so that (paired with the fact she called me after we met) should mean she was and probably is somewhat serious. But I'm kinda lost at what to do now, my possibly best argument is that if she doesn't know if day X would be good for her, then why not make this meeting the priority for that day, and if something comes along the way, she reschedules that, instead of this.
