She was super touchy and we’d wrestle, and she essentially joked about innuendos for sucking me off, and yet I froze up entirely and didn’t even kiss her!!! Like clearly she was into it all, but I just felt like I was super ‘out of my league’ because she was so hot and I’d heard from the older brother of my friend how they hooked up and she was a freak.
Oh god that brings me back to an awkward "almost" except I was in college so it's even worse. We were literally hanging out in her bed watching Friends, even her roommate knew what I was invited over for. Then I blew it cuz I never made the move. You get caught up in "what am I supposed to do, I hope I don't screw it up" . Literally the only thing I could do to screw it up was what I did and that was not make a move.
all stale friends references aside, that really does hit too close to home. It happened to me a few more times around the same period as the other story, but eventually I pushed through that mental block and things got waay easier after that.
When I was in someone's basement and we fell off the couch from awkward teenage makeout manoeuvres while watching Contact I realised something along the lines of like 'oh, awkward stuff is actually pretty funny and not a deal-breaker when you work through it together!' because we just got back into it once I helped her up.
Awkward shit is actually really endearing in a space where you both feel good around each other!

"could you BE any more clueless?!"
