Worked 'til noon, then got a massage from Kelly Woodke, about 20min of it on my hamstrings. Wow, they were F'ed! And he didn't even get "it" all! Goes to show I accumulated a lot of shit in that month+ (maybe 2?) of running "all bottled up" in my hips/pelvis.
Did some shopping, then came home and went for a hike before sundown. Hammered the north end of Skinner, pow-hiking up, then aggressively down-hiking, with some tunes. Felt pretty good, but, even after the massage, still felt tight.
After the hike, I did some strength, then had dinner and got ready to go out with Teresa.
GOOD NIGHT. Went to a nice restaurant, playing "dress up". LOVE my new CK sport coat! And DAMN, she looked good: "little black dress"; phenomZ.
Sat the bar forever (they were jammed and like 40min late on our ressy), but once we got a table, we played "The Cube" game, which is always fascinating! Just good, legit rapport building, rather than mindless banter.
I somehow decided I wanted to Karaoke (it'd been since NYE?), but figured we'd need an activity before then. SHE mentioned ping pong at Highlands, so we went there. No ping pong but we played foosball and shuffleboard - good times!
It wasn't my overt intention to "re-do" things that Chelsea and I did on our "date", but that's how it worked out, and I was happy with it. So we went to Red Lion at 11ish.
We had an excellent connection, and damn, she looked good. So I KNEW I'd be "going for it" - not that I "needed it", but to communicate to her my feelings, and - should they exist - mirror hers.
Before I left, I read some of "The Game" and found an interesting test to determine if a woman wants to be kissed. In general, receptivity to "kino" (e.g. light physical contact) is positive. But, "The Hand Test" is key: you casually grab their hand - more like you "offer it". If they take it, +#1. You do it a couple more times, in different (but always casual and short-lasting) circumstances.
She was INTO it. LOVED it. So I knew "it was on". We sang a DUET together, then I busted out my usual BSB. When we left, I knew it had to be done. And, also from "The Game", it's important (and wayyy easier) to kiss BEFORE the end of the night (less stress/awkwardness). So I still had to drive her to her car, so I held her hand one more time as we walked out to the truck.
Can't remember what I said, but I basically drew her in and let her know I wanted to kiss her. And did. It rocked.
Drove her back to the restaurant and smooched a bit more there, then parted ways.
GOOD DAY. :-)
"Good to be back".
