Midnight encounter

21-10-2012 7:17pm#1So, I was strolling home at approximately 4am last night, and as I was nearing my apartment and I decided to roll a cigarette and take in the beautiful surroundings of Galway city. I finished rolling it up and whilst exhaling the first puff my eyes were greeted by a stranger in the night. She was sitting alone, also smoking, and I was mystified as to her motives for sitting alone outside in the cold this late at night. After a few more moments of awkward glancing I finally plucked up the courage to walk over and make some light, friendly chat in the least creepy manner possible. We began chatting and to my delight I discovered we have a lot in common(bar both being smokers). She was waiting for a friend who she gladly introduced me to, and after her friend had gone she hinted at her desire to do something to prolong the nights activities.
I was quite open and frank with her as I tend to be after a few drinks and invited her back for further drinks at my place. She didnt hesitate to join me and before I knew it we were both back at my place drinking and playing video games (i couldnt believe how good she was a fifa). We furthered our rapport with each other and I found myself hoping/praying the feelings of attraction were mutual. I didnt know how to make the first move and even with the aid of a few drinks for 'dutch courage' found myself floundering around her like a heavy handed, clod hopping teenage boy attempting to make the move to kiss her. I was concerned that she would feel compromised in a strangers house and that coming on to her would be inappropriate given the circumstances..
This is where my core dilemma dwells. I find myself repeating the scenario over in my head, how I could have done it better? Did i miss an open opportunity? did she think I didnt like her? Regardless, she eventually left the house and I walked her to the street where she got a taxi. I didnt even try to kiss her when she was leaving and I failed to even get her mobile number. I would love to get a female perspective on this scenario. Was I being overly gentlemanly? or was the fact that she was in my house in the first place a sure sign she fancied me? Or (as I am now putting it down to), that it was just one of those random nice platonic meetings where drinks were shared and no awkwardness ruined the evening? Let me know what you think.

She wanted a ride, all you had to do was say let's go to the bedroom, I want to show you something while taking her hand and leading her in. Say you are giving her a massage, lie her down......you get the idea. She wanted you at the beginning, your lack of assertiveness dried her right up.0 -

Dude. Comment on her hair and touch it. If she doesn't balk or look awkward when you touch it, you can just kiss her. Simple!
