My date today with a pretty 27 year old blonde Belorussian was a stark contrast to my previous blog post.
I found a girl that was really into me1. She was keen on the text and came out on the date with no resistance. One problem: she was leaving Rome on the day of our date at 3 p.m. That’s an unfortunate pattern in Rome: it’s an expensive city where tourists don’t usually stay longer than one week.
We met up and it felt “on” from the start. But I wasn’t sure: was she just there to be entertained before she leaves? I assumed it was a bit of both.
After the coffee at bar Gambero I bounced her to a park near the Vatican, where her bus would leave. I lead her to a bench and started to escalate fast. In the bar we were already sitting quite close and she accepted (and even reciprocated a bit) some light kino.
What do you do with a girl that leaves in one hour?
- Don’t be too thirsty and move her to long game.
- Escalate hard and see how far you can take it.
I decided to go for the latter. Attraction was definitely there, but comfort was really lacking. Nevertheless, I made one kiss attempt which she rebuffed gently. “We’ve only known each other for 30 minutes,” she said2.
We kept sitting close and playing the Question Game. I found out (or she lied) that she hasn’t kissed anyone outside of Belarus that was not her boyfriend, whom she broke up with last month.
Oh well. I’m glad I gave it at least a shot and showed my intentions. Easy come, easy go. I have a feeling we won’t see each other again.
