Hi guys. My girlfriend and I broke up a couple of months back - it was pretty sudden, I'd just chosen a ring and we were a couple of weeks away from moving in together. Anyway, that's all over with now and it was a blessing in disguise - we were very different people and I've realised that we weren't overly happy together, and that actually that I'm much happier without her.
Reason I've joined this site is because I've met this insanely hot half-Finnish chick, and although I've got a few ideas as to how to play the game, I'm not always great at putting them in to practice - here's the case in point (sorry in advance for the length of this)...
I went for a first date with this girl on Friday, and it went really well. We had a few drinks, kissed a lot, and I asked her if she'd like to come back to mine to watch a movie, and guaranteed that I wouldn't try anything on (was that a mistake?). After watching about 10 minutes of a film and a bit of kissing in bed we both passed out. Next morning we went for breakfast, kissed some more and said see you later.
She texted me that evening to say she was out again, had a good time etc, and I planted the seed about doing something this week. I said I'd call her on Sunday night but she didn't pick up, so I left a voicemail and she texted me when I was asleep.
On Monday she emailed me at work and I asked when she was free - she offered Tuesday or Saturday, and I went with Tuesday, thinking I could line up something for Saturday afterwards, so I went and met her after work and took her out to dinner.
The date went ok, but I was way too passive and not on the ball whatsoever. It was just "ok" and I didn't put anything into practice. Basically she lost interest a bit. We got the tube home and had a quick kiss as I got off (I live a few stops before her). I emailed her this morning...just going to copy it into here... having read it back to myself it's a bit cringey!

Morning,
Hope you had a good time last night and the wine didn't make your early start too agonising? I was so gutted not to get my planned lie in!
Anyway, I'm not one to play games and as we rushed off I didn't get a chance to ask whether you'd like to do something on Saturday, free of work tension [she was pretty stressed last night] and school night curfews? Maybe Richmond park in teh afternoon if it's a nice day, then a movie/drinks?
Hope your day isn't too brutal, and good luck for later with your friend. By the sound of it I imagine she'll just be grateful for some normality, so I hope she's ok and it all goes well.

ps still can't believe your lips! [I'd told her that they were amazing on Friday night, and she responded positively..."what a line" etc...they are incredible]
Got this reply at 6:30 - she's flat out at work as her boss is away:Hope you had a good time last night and the wine didn't make your early start too agonising? I was so gutted not to get my planned lie in!

Hey, good day?
This morning was a struggle but managed to get myself in for 8, absolutely shattered though and going to have to do it again tomorrow - not ideal!
Saturday I am actually going back to Chelms now, going to have a chilled one and try and save some pennies before marathon Sunday! Will sort something soon though.

I'm sure I can salvage this one, but I've not played it well at all.This morning was a struggle but managed to get myself in for 8, absolutely shattered though and going to have to do it again tomorrow - not ideal!

Would massively appreciate any advice here...
