Now, I went against my normal first-time testing methods for the occasion; I used a mix of To-Gos: Shine, Honesty, and Gentleman.
So, I went on a small date with a new friend of mine today. We planned a picnic in a park, where we stayed for about an hour and a half. Both of us had a great time, and it felt really intimate and close. She didn’t really hold anything back. She showed me some videos and audio she took of herself and friends, full-out admitting she was drunk at the time. There was quite a bit of sexual talk in them, but she didn’t seem to mind, and just laughed along with me. We took pictures together, laid down on a blanket, and just relaxed. It was sweet and simple; my near-perfect idea of a date.
She kept bringing up this one guy who I guess she is good friends with; I couldn’t really tell if it was a real relationship. She didn’t hold back in telling me his flaws, though. She said he had an angry attitude which really gets her pissed. She also pointed out that he lives relatively far away, and neither of them have a car at the moment.
She brought up Prom, which is coming up in the next month. I asked if she was going with anyone. She said she might be, and I kind of backed off the topic since I was planning to ask her myself (it ended up being the same kid, but she said that they’d only be going to chill. I guess this means “just as friends.”)
So, I really don’t know where I stand here, as far as relationships. More importantly, I don’t know where the other guy is as far as a relationship. I’m her #4 friend on myspace, and her #1 is the guy she’s going to prom with.
PERSONAL EFFECTS: I seemed to be walking a lot bouncier and smoother. I spoke smoother and softer. I was more complimentary and outgoing than usual.
EFFECTS ON OTHERS: Girl was very giggly, and laughed a lot. Girl was incredibly open, and didn’t seem to hold back any stories. Met the father of this girl’s friend, and I presented myself professionally. Shook hands, stood up straight, eye contact…
DISTANCE EFFECTED: Was primarily with one girl, so hard to determine. Got a lot of looks from others as I walked through the mall, though.
