Tell me where I went wrong:
The date itself was "ok" - target was an old flame I decided I could practice on because I don't have anything else going on.
I hardly got much game in there or much attraction that I had otherwise done a very good job of building up beforehand by creating anticipation and keeping her unsure about where she had me.
When it was time to part ways I stood and let her finish whatever it was she was talking about, then she said she'd better get home, I nodded and then she went in for a hug, saying "would you like a hug?" and I lamely said "thanks". Then she said it was "Good to see me again". I said something I don't recall, followed by "Take care of yourself," which afterwards seemed totally retarded, as I interpreted myself saying "have a great life" as if I was rejecting her right there.
I don't have that feeling of "yes, nailed it", not least because I didn't hear from her afterwards, even if my sonar detected possible major interest.
So, if you have a date that goes kinda lamely - perhaps uninspiring convo, or it just isn't rolling - is there a good way to end it? Or have I interpreted the scenario incorrectly?
Right away I could point out I ought to have ended this thing faster and made it sure it was I who bade her farewell, not the other way around. And of course, better storytelling to mesmerize her and fire her sex engines, since routines like the cube would not be an option with someone you already know.
