She seemed rather all over me and very much encouraging, but evidently I misread the situation. I slowly moved my hand down her back. At some point I crossed a line and she elbowed my right in the solar plexus.

Not the approach I would recommend for women, but it certainly drive a point home. I pretty much don’t make the first move, and on the rare occasions I do, it’s verbal, not physical.

Other than that, I’ve found it quite easy to keep my pecker in my pocket and my hands to myself.
