Went bar hopping a few nights ago with friends (group of guys and girls). Walked into one bar where these two hot milfs were in the corner, saw them give me a look of interest, so I decided to order drinks next to them. I had a fun conversation with the bartender (a female), and a random girl started groping my hair. The bartender and I laughed and made a funny scene of the situation, shortly after my one of my female friends (who really likes me) comes up and started flirting a bit. Between those three things, I could feel their interest in me growing. I see the main one that I like smile, gives me a short glance, and slowly starts walking as if to leave, but hovering just long enough to see if I do anything. I smile as she walks and give her a tap on the head, so I can wave and say hi. Long story short, we hit it off, I invite her and her friends to join me and my friends at the next bar.

We split off from my friends for a bit, because I had to get something from a previous bar, finally get to the next bar where my friends are, and I continue flirting with her and she starts grinding hard on me, everyone watching. Her friend goes off to grab a drink at the bar, while it's just us dancing. I like to be blunt, and felt so much tension from our interaction (we kept talking faces just inches away from each other) so I ask her "Can I be honest?" She says yes, and I tell her "Not gonna lie, I've been thinking about kissing you."

She gets this shock look and puts her hand over my mouth and pushes me back, as if to stop me from kissing her (I wasn't attempting to fyi). Then she asks about her friend, I say she's at the bar getting drinks and point to that direction. She starts walking over there, but reaches her hand back and grabs my hand for me to follow her. We find the friend, chat a bit, then mention checking out the rooftop bar section, so we start walking towards it. Her friend is leading, she's in the middle, I'm in the back, she reaches out again to grab my hand for me to follow her. Something gets whispered along the way (assuming about the kiss comment) and you can see them kinda debating if they should just leave or continue hanging out, she slowly starts letting go my hand to walk out, and kinda looks back at me. I don't bother following because I didn't want to chase, at the same time was thinking about me ditching my friends, so I decide to find my friends instead.

I had her number and texted her the next afternoon asking how the rest of her night went. Part of me feels like, I was supposed to reframe the whole kiss comment situation, but for whatever reason didn't. Debating whether I should attempt to do it through text with something like:

"Hey, my kiss comment the other night was just me speaking my mind. If you prefer guys who aren't good at expressing themselves, I completely understand"

Thoughts?
