New Year's Eve Hook-Ups!

I'm starting this thread to invite people to share any romantic experiences they had last night. 8)

As for me, four of my buddies and I went to an "Irish" bar downtown without any dates. After about five minutes in the bar, I noticed this group of girls kind of standing in a group behind us. One of them -- a cute girl with a short blond haircute, a red top and khaki pants -- was looking at me with a very inviting look on her face, and I kept turning around to see what she was looking at, but she was looking at me! :)

So, ten minutes later, I gathered up my courage and started a conversation with her. I'm not quite sure how it began, but I think I just said, "Hi, I'm John, what's you're name?" The music was quite loud, so we stood very close to one another while talking. We spoke about where we were from, and why we were in Grand Rapids. She was from the south of the city and was in town studying elementary education at the city's Roman Catholic university. :lol:

I think she really liked me and trusted me based on the answers I was giving her -- my uni education, permanent job, etc. She was from a good, stable family -- apparently her family is composed of hard-core Catholics, because she has seven siblings and the rest of her family are also natalists -- she had like 100 cousins. 8O

As we were talking, it got kind of sexual because she started to touch me on the arm, and then on the side. Finally, she started deliberately brushing her breasts up against my body. :twisted: I thought, "Hey, I don't have a girl friend, so I might as well see where this will go," so I started touching her back. :roll:

Long story short, we sat down at a booth and spoke some more. At a lull in the conversation, I leaned over and kissed her on the mouth. Needless to say, she was a VERY enthusiastic kisser and started to give me kisses all over the face and neck -- and with tongue. I was like, YIKES! After that, her girl friends (from her university) came over and started to pepper me with questions, trying to find out if I was to be trusted with the friend they obviously admired very much. Much highly pleasant fooling-around followed, but she was very clear to tell me that she was a "good girl" and would be going to her own dormitory room that night. That was fine with me, as I have my reservations as well. :?

At the end of the evening, my buddies went home without me -- after giving me a lot of thumb's up signs -- and I walked the girls a couple blocks to find a cab. We cabbed over to their dormitory, and I gave her a kiss good-bye, gave her my phone number, and rode the cab back to my place. :wink:

She was a great girl, and I look forward to hanging out with her some more -- she told me she was going to visit her family for this next week, but would be back next Sunday for some more socialization. Who knows, maybe this is the start of a great relationship! :)

And other New Year's Eve hook-ups? :eek:

It may also help your confidence out big time in terms of confronting SA, well done.

do you have social anxiety at all Zipper?
I am a recovering social-phobe! The most severe was about one and a half years ago, but the sun is rising, and the mist is vanishing. I am slowly losing my fear that any person will treat me cruelly.

well congratulations and congratulations also on your fun night out. sorry to hear that your girlfriend broke up with you

I spent new years eve drinking till I had enough courage to go out into town determined to not spend the night in my room alone

the fireworks etc were cool but the night ended on a sour note when some guys started picking on me, causing a rather bad anxiety attack which only encouraged them and I narrowly avoided being beat to a pulp

welcome to 2006 Horatio

Does it speak badly of this girl that she made out with me several hours after meeting me?

Nice one Zipper!

My night consisted of getting shitfaced as seems to be the NZ tradition, attempting to go to town failing miserably nearly getting run over and waking up in a strangers property sometime in the night. :cry:

I *think* I saw the new years in looking up at the stars from their picnic table. Anyway they were south african it turns out and got me a coffee and took me home..

Yayy for me, and to add insult to injury rumours are flying with my mates that i tried or actually did hook up with a 17yr old boy at a party earlier that night! 8O
Worst of all, I was too drunk to even know what really happened. I know myself well enough to be sure nothing happened but having no memory doesnt exactly provide adequate cover for the constant jabs by friends over it..

That cuts quite deep, especially since im too shy to actually go on a date with a girl I really cant blame them for thinking what they do, they've known me for god only knows how long and yet i've never been seen with a girl really.

i just got back from a night of ridicule over it at a friends bday, i just brushed it off constantly and put on a brave face. :roll:


Yay for 2006!...

I am 26 and she is 21.

Recovering from SA is a very complicated process, and you have to attack it on a lot of different fronts. A major part of recovery is, ironically, being resigned to the idea that you will always have it. So long as you think there is a "right" way to do things, and you ought to have no limitations or anxieties, then you will forever be debilitated, but the minute you accept yourself with all of your limitations and accept that you WILL be nervous and you WILL screw up, then you will begin to crawl out of the hole with a lot of effort.

As for me, recovery from social anxiety was closely related to my deconversion from evangelical Christianity. Also, I started to take risks that I never took before -- dating girls, smoking weed, losing my virginity, expressing anger at my parents, thinking for myself, and welcoming judgment.

does it speakly badly of you..that you made out with her several hours after meeting her? :)
Probably, but the difference is that I'm a guy and am suppose to be taking liberties, and she is a girl and is supposed to be guarding her virtue. :twisted:
