Ok, I happen to be Italian.
Ok, I'm also more skilled than most non-community people around me.
But fuck! I HATE being kicked into a stereotype.
Especially because my... ehm... "transformation" happened largely away from Italy, and I am definitely not the macho-show-off type.
Anyway.
What happened.
New Years Eve.
One-itis is still consuming me, I feel uncertain, insecure, I need to prove myself and I have too much energy to stay calm.
They come at my place for the dinner, she's stunning and nice.
Overall mood is nice, but energy is low... I'm exploding.
None really knows none else, but after 0:00 we relax and I can start shouting and venting out energy.
I somehow manage not to act after my neediness, and little by little recover my cool.
Accept the current mood, the current feelings, even laugh about it.
Also, be patient, give things their time.
It works.
We go out and join the big party.
It starts into another low, I stroll around aimless and bored.
Approach a beautiful girl, she's unresponsive, bye bye.
Approach another, she's VERY responsive and I stick there.
A friend of mine comes in and steals her attention.
Ok, not very graceful of him, but he's a good guy, and probably a bit drunk, I let them alone.
Energy slowly (terribly slowly) builds up and a few brave people start dancing, including Ms.Stunning.
They're my people, so I stick with them, but I have to be careful not to ask her for comfirmations and just center to myself and have fun.
She gives me no IOIs whatsoever.. Not good, but not bad either.
I wait patiently and just enjoy the dance.
When the energy feels right, it's time to take the lead.
I offer her the hand and start spinning her around.
She does not play along too much, but I stay centered and playful, and after a while she's consistently turned towards me... Talk about lack of IOIs...
I can't believe that the hottest girl in the bar, that showed no interest whatsoever in me, now is ignoring the others and dancing with me.
This alone makes my day.
I enjoy the dance, tease her, push her away then...
Do I have to extract?
This scares me.
She reversed-kinoed me, with not much conviction.
I just cannot conceive that she likes me enough.
But it's just seamless.
"Hey, let's go out to cool down".
I lead her, she follows.
We're out, I grab her waist, she puts her forearm on my shoulder...
Not enough intimacy for the kiss, must escalate, but how?
I attempt some chat mixed with kino, ask her how good a kisser is she, and she comes out with the fucking italian womanizer comment.
I don't know what to say, and deliver an unconvinced "Yes, I am a womanizer, I guess..."
Thing is, I resent the stereotype and I resent the fact that my "womanizer" fame is far larger than my actual skill.
Not getting laid and being called a womanizer it's kinda frustrating.
We chat a bit more and I recover a positive vibe, but we go back in.
On hindsight, I should have grabbed her "hey, I have to check one thing at the car" just to take back the lead and keep the intimacy.
Night goes on with a great energy and fun.
We where supposed to exchange random gift, but I take mine and force it in her hands despite her refusal.
"I hit on three girls tonight, and you were the only interesting one, so I want you to take it."
She takes it.
I also wrote her a message a few hours later.
Everything's not lost.
As soon as she left, I shoot myself shamelessly to Ms.VERY Responsive.
Nothing much happened, let's just say very, very bad logistics... It caught me completely unprepared.
But there finished the last day of 2009.
DEBRIEFING
Many people saw me extracting the two girls... My womanizer fame exceeds my skill by far and it's a problem.
But at least, for the first time, I really thought it was somehow deserved.
"Fuck I'm good!"
Original as I am, I'm terribly attracted by Ms.Stunning, but with her I risk going into "rational justification" discussion mode.
She's actually a funny person, one of the few girls I know that actually initiates jokes, but I end up overlooking this because I'm insecure and think about justifying myself rather than enjoying her company.
If she thinks that I am a filthy italian womanizer, I will not fight it, but rather joke and tease her about it.
