Amid the pandemic chaos, we deliberately chose to forego the typical bar scene, opting instead for a more intentional approach to our interaction. A leisurely stroll through the park allowed us to find a serene spot to sit and engage in conversation.
Following our time in the park, we ventured to another location with a scenic view of the river near the Old Town. She exhibited a comfortable and touchy-feely approach, and our shared kisses escalated more than anticipated. This intimate exchange felt like a make-out session, presenting a challenge in finding a polite approach to decline without creating awkwardness, especially given that she took the lead.
Despite my attempt to suggest heading home, she declined, citing a promise to her controlling family, particularly her brother, who called just five minutes later inquiring about her whereabouts. Hailing from another town, she resides at her brother’s place while in town. And thus, our first date concluded.
For the second date, I proposed a meeting at my place. While initially agreeing, she later informed me of a dispute with her brother, rendering staying at his place impossible. She suggested meeting in the city center or postponing until the following week, considering her impending journey back to her hometown.
We settled on meeting in the center, and as I arrived with my car, we strolled, and talked, and her emotional concerns surfaced, leading to tears regarding her job and issues with her brother. In an attempt to uplift her spirits, we sat in my car, where I playfully teased her with some silly country music, stating it “fits her character.” This light-hearted approach elevated the mood, and we shared a kiss in the car.
As things heated up again, I suggested she stay at my place, and to my surprise, she agreed. Once at my place, we followed the routine – a movie and escalating intimacy. Despite encountering some Last Minute Resistance (LMR), we successfully navigated through it.
It became evident that she held traditional views on intimacy, associating it with a deep emotional connection. Consequently, she now considers us to be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. While navigating this situation, I’ll need to strategize on how to achieve my desires without falling into the boyfriend trap.
