I went out for a date today with a girl that I pick up in the club 3 days ago. I choose Monday since everybody went for work, but we postgraduate students have day off.

She came 20 minutes late and immediately apologizes to me. She showed IOI from the very beginning when she came out from the train.

Her: I'm sorry, I came late. I missed the train and I had to wait for the next one.
Me: It's ok.
Her: You're...not angry? (in an uncertain tone)
Me: No...I know that you wake up at 9am today and you usually sleep until around 11. So I respect your effort and will not be angry to you today.
Her: Thank You! (beaming)
Me: I'm just disappointed at you
Her: Oh...
Me: Time is very important for me. We can have all the money in the world but it can't buy back the time that we've lost. The time that I spent to wait for you can actually be used for something better. Promise me you won't be late again.
Her: I promise...so how long have you been waiting for me?
Me: Let's just say I'd like to arrive a bit earlier than the appointment ... are you hungry?

So we walked out from the train station and go to one of my favorite restaurant. It's a small place where company staffs goes out for a quick lunch. I do some fluffing and tease her a little bit. Inside the restaurant, she was actually the first one that make the first move by kissing me lightly on the cheek.

We went out from the restaurant and went to Crown, I showed her around since it was her first time. I tried the push-pull method while we were inside Crown and added DHV, she likes the "Ring Finger" story a lot and starts to hold my hand.

When we were sitting inside the food court, she was tired and wants to close her eyes. She grabbed my hand and use it like a pillow. Obviously, I pretend that I was insulted by her act.

Me: What're you doing?
Her: I feel a bit sleepy from walking. I want to close my eyes a bit
Me: So you just grab me and use my hand like a pillow?
Her: hehehe
Me: I'm not a piece of pillow you know. I have feelings as well (with extremely serious face)
Her: Oh (she was taken aback) I'm sorry for not considering ur feeling (she let go of my arm)
Me: Hmm...its ok. But I want you to ask for my permission before you do something. I may like or not like what you do.
Her: Ok. I'll ask your permission later.

We decided to watch a movie "I am number four" today and inside the theater we were kissing and touching with each other. I took her home and went inside her room. Again we were kissing and touching, but I escalate and tell her to sit on my lap. She did so and we kisses again. I went underneath her t-shirt and unhook her bra. I play with it for awhile and moved my other hand down.

Suddenly she stopped me and says no. I know sometimes no means try harder, so i continue to kiss her and even made her say "i'm very wet there" but she still wouldn't let me take off her pants. So I went back home, after that.

Btw, she just broke up from her BF 2 weeks ago. maybe she felt she'll be viewed as a slut if she does it with me. I felt I might be spiraling down into oneitis again after this, but I make a back up plan by setting up a "study date" tomorrow from falling down. Hopefully, it'll help me out to be better.

Just curious...what was holding her back actually? she said that i'm very special to her, no matter what happen she still want to keep me in the future. But she don't want to become my gf when i asked her.

Well that girl must have really liked you, because your "pretending" of teasing her is far too serious, even if you display strong values by acting this way, the goal of push-pull is not to make her uncomfortable or think that you are way too serious, but rather to tease her which conducts to easyer escalation... but your strong behavior obviously builded attraction... so why not

But the reason why she stopped was most probably because you didn´t work enough against her Last Minute Resistance. If she now says that she doesn´t want to be your gf, you screwed it up already ealier before coming to fclose...
