"Yes, I'm free tonight, but your invitation is a bit sudden. I usually don't date people I met only once. We barely know each other." Kamila said with a pensive tone. She liked that kind of role play.
'She hasn't said no and she called it a "date". Kamila isn't considering my offer as a simple colleague get-together. So far so good.' Despite having his dating experience from two lives, Lith felt awkward every time he asked a woman out.
His paranoid nature made him overthink over the smallest details and being a control freak didn't help. He considered making the first move like exposing a weakness and he hated feeling weak.
Since all the complaining in the world wouldn't change the rules of the game, Lith knew he could only bet or fold. If he played, he could lose but if he didn't his victory chances would always be zero.
Sorry for the late update!
