You spend three hours drinking, kissing, hugging. Then you thank her for her hospitality and leave?Well there is 'romance' and there is gazing at sunsets and paris hotels. She got roses for valentine from a secret lover but gave them away. Very direct: "If he likes me, he should tell me".

Overall it was what we agreed. We'd meet and see what would happen. After 15 min I passed "not a creep, liar or find therapy", after 1 hour she noted that we were vibing well and after hour 2 out of the friendzone. Then it got comfy, but also both a bit tired, some heavier topics.
Despite some caveats I like her well enough and there is a physical attraction. How serious, I can't tell. She also struggles with her no-kids clause, knowing it's a dealbreaker for men and her drinking is where I used to be.
This date "grounded, cozy". Next date I'd like to continue where we left it last night. If she's game I am but I'm pretty sure both of us feel more needs to happen faster next time and it'll be up to me to be more bold to set the tone.
She didn't text me this morning to end it and I think she would have if she lost interest after last night.
