The setup
Well, friends, I am finally waking up around 915 for work today. Which is bad since I should be getting up at 8 and starting work around 830, but I had a late night and I just dont really feel like doing anything right now. And the beauty is, since I work from home, I have the freedom to do this.
So I guess the whole point of this is that last night I was set-up My roommate, after having successfully found himself a girlfriend, decided that he was going to throw me a bone and introduce me to a pretty young filly who he works with at Starbucks.
The whole concept of being set-up is pressure-filled and nerve-wracking for me and I generally am not really comfortable with the concept. However, when he invited Kristin to come hang out with us, he told her that she should just come along, see if she liked me, and that I wouldn't be told of the real intentions of the night.
Naive girl. haha She doesn't know that Scott and I tell each other pretty much everything.
But anyhow, we all went over to our friend Sara's apartment to have dinner last night. Her apartment is amazing. It's in downtown Denver, on the 28th floor with a balcony overlooking Invesco Field and the Rocky Mountains.
So we're al sitting around, having wine and food and just generally being merry. Now, let's be honest, I'm not a master of the game by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I might go so far as to say that my game is fairly weak. But she seemed to be digging my chili as the night went on.
With some clever maneuvering, and some major help from Scott, my wingman, I was able to secure a spot on the couch on the balcony alone with Kristin.
Now, there comes a time when you're with a girl and you just know that she's into you. It's usually just something she does to let you know that shes interested. In the case of last night, I was getting some definite hand-on-the-arm action every once in a while. This coupled with the fact that I was also pulling off the "I'm sitting close to you and you're not moving away" trick on the couch was a pretty good indicator. Also, with a little spying, I was able to catch a glimpse of a short text message conversation she had with a friend:
Friend: How late are you gonna be up tonight?
Kristin: Probably pretty late.
BINGO
So we talked on the balcony alone for like an hour and then we had to leave.
So we get back to my apartment. scott and Stephanie are in the backseat of my car. When we pull up to our apartment, there is a minor hub-bub concerning a police car and some people standing out on the street. Being the clever creature that I am, I suggest to Kristin that we go walk past them on the sidewalk to "check out the crime-scene".
I parlayed that into walking to the park that is down the street from us and walking around there for about an hour. The park was deserted which is strange since there are always cars there. This park is notorious for having a huge gay population around it and hanging around there, but there was no one there. So it was kind of creepy but really nice out and I had a beautiful girl walking alongside me.
By the time we get back to the apartment, it was almost midnight and I figured she would want to head home to get some sleep. She had been talking all night about how she has hardly gotten any sleep lately so I was surprised when she just followed me back inside to my apartment, so I wasn't going to suggest that she take off.
With a suggestion of watching a movie, I was in. It was merely minutes before there was some major canoodling on the couch. It's been a while since I've had any of that. and I am a major cuddler. I could pretty much do that all night. Ha
At least, until it's time to kiss her anyways. I did kiss her some, but it was more of a sweet kiss than an intense, "I want to make out all night long" type of thing.
Soooo, anyhow, a little bit after the movie ended, I walked back to her car.
Now the great game begins. How do I go forward from this position? I'll see her a bit tonight and I want to hang out with her again soon. But I dont want to freak her out by calling her all the time. She's pretty easy-going though and would probably not think it was that big of a deal.
I'm still not sure how much I really like her. I guess that's what happens when you just jump into something so fast.
So, I never really described her. When Scott first described her to me, he said, "Dude she is just your type physically speaking anyways. Dark hair, blue eyes, pretty tall, and skinny. She's just hot." And I agree, she is indeed hot. But beyond that, she's also alot of fun and loves to go hiking and camping and do outdoors-y stuff. And she's really sweet, without being disgustingly sweet.
Scott texted me this morning from work saying "Dude, if youre having buyer's remorse over last night, dont sweat it. Just remember there will be 20 guys who walk into her store today who would kill to be in your shoes". Very good point Scott. Well played
OK, I'm probably boring you to death now. And I should probably get off my lazy ass and do some work today.
It's just kind of hard when I have a girl on my mind.
I will keep you updated.
If you still read this, I love you.
