Giving Up Too Soon?

After a productive daygame session with my wing, I could not sleep. We partied late into the night yesterday and I was filling tired. Still, I decided to go for one more walk around Trastevere to get my 10th set of the day - double digits.

After about 30 minutes I bump into a group of dusky girls. Probably Lebanese I thought. One of them looked really nice: penetrating dark eyes, wavy hair - just my type. I wasn’t opening a 5-set so I let it slide. Just as I was about to turn into a street I see her separating from her group: she was now alone.

Without hesitation, I opened her. “Your style looks very odd in Trastevere”, I said. She was wearing a black fur coat and hooked instantly. We talked for a bit and went for a walk. She clearly liked me, and there was a clear yet subdued sexual vibe between us. We went to a tourist shop (she wanted magnets), and later bumped into her friends. They all agreed I was arrogant and audacious. Great!

The problem was that she was leaving tomorrow. It was her last night. She wanted to see the Colosseum, which was half an hour walk away. On the one hand, following her there would sacrifice too much frame. On the other hand, it would buy me an hour with her before she went off to party with her friends.

In moments like these you have to weigh the odds and make a decision. Given that I really had to work tomorrow¹, I decided to bounce her to Campo di Fiori where I lived and because I wanted to lead. I’ll figure out what I’ll do with her once she’s there I thought.

I walked her to my street but the moment didn’t present itself to pull the trigger: it was too fast… I met her 45 minutes earlier, chatted a bit with her friends, she asked how old I was, but we didn’t build enough rapport.

“What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done with a stranger?” I asked, after swapping numbers. She hesitated. “What do you mean?” she said. “Have you ever kissed one?” I said. She gently rebuffed verbally “No, I wouldn’t”. Fair enough.

Given she left tonight and would party with her friends, I thought the odds of her going back to mine were slim to none. So I figured, I may at least try to go for a kiss close on the street - I have nothing to lose.

Then again, sitting here writing these lines, I figured I should have gone to the Colosseum with her, took some pictures, and later invited her to text me if she wants to have a drink after her party.

What would have been the right course of action? I don’t know. Perhaps I wisely conserved my energy for daygame and work tomorrow. After all, I have two other strong leads from today. So I don’t need to swim the English channel for pussy.

But still… What could have been? I feel a tingle of regret.
