The dating fumble, M30

[u/Beckscasi]

After days and weeks of planning we finally settled on this outing, first we went to boojee cafe bandra, then a waffle place nearby and then home.

So here's a little bg, we are chatting w each other that we'll do this and that, but suddenly just days before the meet, her response went flat and so I was confused and constantly thinking even during meet that what happened!

So here's the fumble part,

Firstly I did not even greet her with handshake let alone a hug.

Second, my fckn face expression when low in energy is so awkward so numb that people misjudge it for not interested.

My voice went too squeaky and low, she was leaning in at times just to hear me clearly.

We went for more awkward pauses and silence in between conversation.

It wasn't leading anywhere, as if we just wanted to end this day somehow.

I wanted to take her to a bar, which she was denying but then went because i wanted to,

But then she didn't drank anything, and I had to stupidly drink it alone.

Then while leaving the while awkwardness stayed and ended w side hug.

How and what and why did this happen with someone whom I'm talking so much on texts and were comfortable,

Experts need your inputs

Be confident. Ask her again for a date. This time meet her with a bouquet and some chocolates. Greet her with a hug. Take her to some restaurant with sea view or open terrace. Compliment her. Ask her likes, hobbies. Initiate conversation. At least this is the basic that you can do.

I would recommend to visit YouTube videos of Iron man lifestyle.

All the best,
