I meet Dark Nes, Rufio, Doc and Lupin at the MET. It's not as packed as MoMA on Fridays.
I see a Chinese woman sitting with a sari (Indian head wrap). I gather my courage and approach. Her mind is sharp, her words are poetry, and her accent so sweet I can hardly keep state. After fifteen minutes of intellectual sparring, I cannot take it. She is my dream girl and I am not ready - I do not know how to escalate. What's more, she goes to Yale, which is too far. I eject while I am still ahead, afraid to make a fool out of myself.
My last memorable set was two Filipinas. I accidentally insult them when I press one for her ethnicity. I am not terribly interested in ethnicity - it is a fall-back when I am out of things to say, so I must break this habit.
At 7 PM, Potato, Neko's friend, calls. She is at my place to practice English. Rufio and I high-tale it back and we take her around the area as we talk, then we take her to my apartment for food.
Neko calls and wants to join us. I pick her up from the subway. I hug her, but she cold shoulders me. I ask her what's wrong and she says she is tired. I seek rapport (like a chode).
We arrive to find Dark Nes in my apartment as well. He banters with the girls, saying things like bukkake and that he wants a language exchange partner to exchange bodily fluids with. He gets away with it and both girls find him fun. Neko is freezing me out and as Dark Nes leaves, she begins seeking rapport with Rufio. Thinking she is trying to make me jealous, I ignore her and talk with Potato. To be honest, I am in mortal agony watching her trying to be intimate with Rufio.
Rufio and Neko start getting a little physical, poking each other's feet when Neko starts giving Rufio a massage. My chest is getting tighter, but Neko and I are not even in a relationship, and even if we were, I would want it to be open. I need to work through the jealousy.
I start giving Potato a massage and we four get into a massage line. After a few moments, we switch it up and Neko is behind me. After ten seconds of massage, however, she stops touching me. I'm getting frozen out. I ignore it and finally ask Potato for a massage, which she does.
Next, I see Rufio pulling Neko face down onto the bed. He's straddling her and giving her a massage. They get up and I do the same to Potato and eventually she straddles me to give me a massage as well. Finally, I am giving Potato a massage face to face and we're getting very friendly, but I cannot move to kiss her...I just can't. If I do that, would Neko kiss Rufio? The mere thought drives me crazy.
Neko gets up at one point and Rufio throws a ball at her. They throw stuff back and forth, then the ball comes to me. I launch it at Neko and she attacks me. We start wrestling and at this point, Rufio think Neko and I are going to start making out or something. I should have thrown her to the floor and jumped on her, but the tension falls apart as we stop fighting.
It's late and the girls leave. I feel broken after those hours of jealous pain, so I mope around. Finally, I stand up, get ready, and we head out to Meatpacking. We hit 657 and I get a make out. At Pop Burger, I get a dance and almost get a make out. I end the night with 27 approaches.
By morning, I feel much better. Had it not been for pick up, the whole ordeal may have really messed me up. I am so thankful that I have become much less needy and that I have so many more options.
Lessons:
-Neko
When she breaks rapport by telling me she was tired, I should have pressed a little harder. If she still did not explain, I should have simply said, "All right then."
The entire night with Neko and Potato, I needed to be more aggressive physically.
Finally, Rufio and I were left wondering if that night could have seen us both getting laid. Who knows how it would have gone? I did not have the balls to escalate quickly.
