Last night, a friend of mine and I went out and shot the shit with a bunch of girls. After the bar closed, we went outside to have a smoke when two girls approached us for a cig. After chatting them up for about five minutes, my friend asked one of them if she wanted to go back and abar with us. She was down. Her friend, who I had been flirting with a bit, seemed a little drunk. WHen I asked her to come abar, she smiled at me and held eye contact for probably five or six seconds. She did not actual say a word but instead turned around. During eye contact, I was staring at her waiting for an answer, looking neither happy nor angry, just kinda neutral with maybe a small hint of a smile. We ended up just taking a cab back because the girls kinda just walked off. Any idea what happened?

Extra info-one of the girls was visiting from out of town, the girl I was going after lived a block away.

Nothing happened, because you were not leading in this situation. You were waiting for her to take initiative while actually she was waiting for you to do that.

This happens a lot myself too! I hate it!

so u would lead by saying something like: let's go back and abar instead of asking? and when she stared back at me forever what would you do? shit's confusing.

also should i have been smiling more or was that fine?

Eye contact like that, and especially that long, is a very strong IOI. You should have totally just grabbed her under your arm and led her to another bar.

A relaxed look right into her eyes is actually even better than smiling back at her in that situation.
