So, first off there will be no names and no locations, general or otherwise. I finally took some time off Thursday and Friday of last week to watch some movies I was excited for and because I never take time off. I wanted to go to my favorite bar/restaurant in the area before the movie on Thursday. I arrived, sat at the bar beside a woman, gave a friendly smile and soon we started talking. We talked about a number of topics. She then told me she wanted me to listen to a podcast that related to one of those topics. I will not say what about or the name of it but instead of just giving me the channel or episode name she asked for my number and name to program into her phone so she could send the link. She gave me her name, we talked so more and we both had to leave around the same time. As we were leaving she complimented my jacket and as we parted ways she gave me a big smile and blew me kiss. I just felt a connection with her. I've been to bars etc. talked to people and there were cool and all but it was a one time done thing. There wasn't anything that clicked like this time.
We have been talking off and on via text messages since. About that podcast, about other things. I have been trying to not get too pushy and text her too frequently but still enough to show that I am very interested in talking to her. I am going to try to see if she wants to just hang out somewhere soon chill and talk. I am not super good via texts and am much better person, where the connection, at least for me, was made. If that is successful, I am just going to be honest with her in person and tell her that I felt a connection, that doesn't happen easy for me and I would really like to take her out to dinner. I want to do this part in person to be more real than just a text message. I want to be sincere.
Even past that as we talked she implied that she is in a tough spot right now. Even if things don't go into a relationship, which I would like them too, I still want to try to help bring some happiness and light to her life. She was really interesting and fun and seems to have a great personality. When she talked I tried to offer words and help and keep the focus on her, not on her problems themselves but her with trying to cheer her up a bit.
I think it's how she blew me a kiss that makes me hope she has some interest in me. Maybe at least enough to try hanging out and see where things lead. I am still going to be very honest with her. I don't want to move too quickly but don't want to take too much time either. I am no expert on these things by any means and I am not jumping to conclusions but I don't think you would give someone a big, genuine smile and blow them a kiss if you felt as they were just your average joe or uninteresting. I don't know. It's been a long time since my last relationship, it's hard for me to feel a connection and lastly I don't believe in coincidences.
I won't give too many details but, I met her in my favorite bar on one of the few days I ever ask off. The seat beside her just stuck out to me. She was there at the perfect time for me to be there before my movie. One of the topics we were talking about was something I have had on my mind for a while and have been, let's say, really thinking about for a while. It was the topic of the podcast she sent, again giving me her number and programming mine in instead of just "Check so in so channel out."
Again, I am not jumping to conclusions but I do feel something here.
