Concluded the date for today, here goes!

While waiting for us to be seated and served, we were standing outside of the restaurant, queuing with other people. I noticed she was facing the other side while we were talking, her foot was pointed at other direction instead of me, eye contact is quite minimal, this can only mean 2 possibilities, either she is not interested or she is a bit shy, because I experienced both situation before, when I see the girl I liked a lot, I tend to not be able to hold eye contact and may face the other direction while talking, also I may do the same when the other person is irritating, so I cannot make a definitive comment on this behavior of hers.

Once seated we were quite okay at holding conversations. Both of us never looked at phone, both share the same thinking that it is a form of respect to the other party by doing so. Nothing too extraordinary, overall experience quite platonic. She also revealed that she's towards the conservative type, and only had 1 relationship so far. Seems legit, but I am a skeptical person and would only take her words as grain of salt.

As mentioned, overall experience is somewhere in the middle, so I decided to not go for next destination and sent her back home after the dine-in. She left a letter and a chocolate in my car right before she left my car, she didn't gift this directly to me, I was not aware of this until I reached home and found the gifts she left behind for me.

I am usually a more pessimistic person, I flipped a coin, landed in tails, so I was going to assume the letter will be saying "Let's just be friends" those kind of words. Once I opened it, the content written in it was saying it's nice to meet me and hope I enjoy the chocolate, ended with an emoji.

I guess it's kind of a good ending? The ball is in my park now, whether I want to continue to progress this storyline.
Hmmmmmmmm............

Agreed, I was never desperate for this date, just adopt a calm and go with flow attitude and see how it goes.
I can't tell, it was mixed signal, she did not really maintain eye contact while we talking, but we were still able to talk, some laughs here and there, some silences here and there.
I also never know my interview at job succeed or not, but at the end I got the job. Bro it is hard to gauge man unless the signal is obvious enough, like she leaning towards me, look at me dearly.
I was just thinking about this, it is hard to decide, she seemed to be a good friend, but the romantic chemistry I felt it isn't there.
There was absolutely zero flirting during the date, just converse and converse, I wouldn't dare to pull off anything since she was already not facing me while communicating, try anything drastic can put me in bad situation, not that I am scared losing this date, but I was in a public space, a slap could come my way.
Oh how did you arrive at such conclusion? I was mixed signals for me, and you seemed to be sure as h3ll.
There was no skinship, test drive was out of the question. I normally wants to see cooperative behaviors. A basic one would be able to look at me, those intimate look.
Then her state has to be relaxed and not facing the other way, then I can pull some flirty tricks like palm read or something, then have good laughs together with my joke events happened in my company, you get it I think, if you know it will work, it will, no further description needed. Gut feeling is reliable in telling you whether both of you hit it off.
