Situation One:
Old friend from high school, cute and fun. She just moved to a house nearby and we made plans a while back for me to come see her new pad and finally, yesterday, I was able to go over there and hang out for a bit. I dressed good, looked good, and had fun while we were together. Conversation was simple, but it was there. I was going to a party that night, and invited her along. She seemed interested and even told her roommate that she "might be going out tonight." I leave, and I tell her I'll call her when I'm getting ready for the party.

A few hours pass and we engage in a text conversation:
Me: Hey I'm at my house now and will prolly leave around 11:30. Do you want to come over now?
HB: Surely. Is there any chance someone could pick me up... or should I brave the 6 blocks?
Me: Not likely. Sorry :/
HB: also i just realized im cashless -- problem?
HB: shit sorry im already buzzed and idk if i want to walk that far like this. are you doing anything next weekend?
Me: Cashless is fine. What if I walk with you?
HB: I really appreciate it but i think im going to bed. Im falling asleep here...will you call me next weekend?
Me: Oh, yea alright.

-end-

Situation Two:
I'm at the party from situation one and I'm dancing my ass off. I'm good at dancing and it tends to be the most consistent way for me to spot IOI's from the other ladies around me. A cute one starts dancing with me, face to face, and we get really close. After a couple of minutes, a lot of staring and obvious interest, we're inches from each other and I lean in and kiss her cheek. I wait to see if this scares her, but she continues to dance with me until the song ends. I asked if she wanted to step outside for a bit as I walk out of the room. She follows.

We go outside and do introductions. She lives in a house that is part of the same organization as my house, so we know each other's houses by name. I pull us away from the crowd outside and we make eye contact and hold it for long enough. We start making out, and damn it feels good. We go at it for a few minutes. This was the first time I've kissed a girl in front of the friends I was out with (a mix of guys, girls, and old crushes), but I cared a lot less about that than I expected too. My ego gets to me, and I very much wanted to get laid.

Me: Hey I think I'm going back to (house name) soon.
Her: Oh, I'm not. But could I get your number?
(oh well, at least I # closed!)

Looking back, I was a fool. I should have gone back to the party, right? So I do, making ill on my claim to want to go back to my house. Fortunately, I don't see her for the remaining time I'm there.

Next day, she sends me 2 texts. I ignore the first one completely, as it was related to the what I did after the party last night and there was no way in hell I'd re-establish our connection over that. The second one is her asking me what I'm doing tonight. Truthfully, I was kinda busy and it's a Sunday. 2 hours later I respond, saying I'm doing homework now and that I am probably going to sleep early tonight.

-end-

I would really appreciate insight and critique over these little endeavors of mine. Let me know what I did good, did poorly, and just straight up screwed up on. Perhaps even some suggestions on where to go from here.

Thanks folks!

(This is my first post on these forums, so I apologize if this was placed in the incorrect forum.)

the second girl sounds much more promising. It's fine that you blew her off on Sunday night. She's still into you. You could either set some meeting up during the week if you know of something cool or fun going on or wait for the weekend to see her again. I'd recommend whichever one you'd feel more comfortable in keeping that sexual tension alive. You need to keep that chemistry you had on the dance floor with her. If that fizzles out, it's over.

As for the old friend from high school, she probably still sees you as the afc from high school. You did a good job dressing well and all in front of her. But you need to show her that you've changed and are a desirable male now. The best way to do that is have some hottie on your arm. Flirt with other girls in front of her. You did well not to go pick her up. She's putting alot of hoops out there for you to jump through. Be careful not to submit to her every demand. She flaked on you. Tease her for that. The best way I've found to do that is give them the nickname biscuit and when they ask why- say cause you're flakey.

Thanks for the encouraging words, beakle.
Hahahahahahaha, you made me laugh. I'm definitely doing that.
