I’m (18M) not a party person. I always stay at home and do nothing and have always lacked confidence. One of my friends invited a friend and I to her birthday party, and this was my first actual party I’ve ever been too. I decided fuck it, I’m confident Tonight. I looked good and felt good and next thing you know, me and this hot chick are making out for 4 hours straight . I can’t even tell you how it lasted that long because I have no idea. We ended up cuddling all night, party was a sleepover type thing. She would not leave my side or let me go all night. I loved it, but when morning came and everyone started waking up, She distanced herself . We all left a few hours later and our goodbye was awkward af . At first I thought this was a 1 night hookup type of thing, but the way she looked at me when we were making out and the things she said to me made me feel things not even my ex could. I asked Our mutual friend (birthday girl) if I should text her and she said not at the moment, that she’ll see what the girl thinks first, and later that night I got a text from birthday girl saying “stop texting her” . I was like “I can’t leave her on read but I’ll stop after that” then birthday girl goes “actually don’t leave her on read, keep texting her , I was joking” . Birthday girl even showed me a snap that the girl posted and it said something like “keep getting flashbacks to last nights hookup, why was it so good” so I think she’s interested but the texts started last night and we’ve been texting all morning. It’s just causal talk how do I bring up asking her out?
