First screenshot is my (guy) friend setting me up and giving her background/personality Second is full convo log with her. At the end, you'll see I'm mulling over two options : "Great, what's your schedule like next week" <-- take the like as a "sure", more casual "Ah 2024, where message reacts count as replies" <-- won't take low investment, more assertive. If I do this, I'll wait maybe like till end of the day (it's 8am now) to send it out Of course, open to hear any other suggestions. I have Alex's AI FireText app but I don't think it recognizes "liked" messages

"Holding hands" is extremely chodey. don't do that when you haven't banged the girls. There was clearly no sexual tension and you didn't make anything happen. You didn't take risks to move this forward and hence she lost respect for you

I thought holding hands was just part of the whole being touchy escalation (i was also touching her leg and kissing her cheek during the date, and on some of my other dates it seems to work fairly well). But sure I can see how beta & cringey it might've looked holding hands while walking
Not taking risks though... i dunno, I think I did given the situation ? Like i said i was very touchy with her (aside from the holding hands thing) and went for the kiss at the end. If you mean that i didn't invite her back to my place, like i said she just abruptly made to leave saying she had early golf tomorrow & her ride had already arrived. Was i supposed to insist that she stay and cancel her ride ?
Just genuinely curious what else specifically i could've done to move things forward
