Since I moved to London I've had "yellow fever". On a Saturday towards the end of September in London I had a SDL with an Asian girl.

At around 1 I'm heading into the Saturday afternoon throng looking for girls to chat up. I'm solo but feel like I want the company of a wing. Anyway I do the grind, approaching maybe 7 or 8 girls, over the next few hours.

Nothing is sticking. A hot girl passes me and I turn and go after her. As I start to move across her she dodges around me and says thanks without stopping or knowing what I wanted. I get blown out by some. I bottle it with a few other hotties getting away. Not a great day so far.

By about 6 I'm ready to call it quits as my legs are getting tired and I think my vibe is way off now. I just want to sit in a coffee shop, eat cake and sooth my dented ego.

As I get close to the coffee shop a cute bespectacled Asian girl with a very long skirt (almost extending to her ankles) walks past me in the opposite direction. I don't know what it is, maybe her unusual dress style, or maybe she flashes an IoI, but something triggers in me and I decide I have to turn back and stop her. One last hit!

As I'm dodging the crowds to get close enough I see she turns sharply into a fancy goods store. I think fuck it and follow her in. I've forgotten about my weariness now and damaged pride. I'm determined not to bottle it this time!

I open from behind her (usually a no no!) "excuse me". She whips around fast with a beaming smile and I say (pointing down) "this skirt, it's absolutely beautiful!". She cracks wide open, eyes all alight behind her glasses, holding a handful of the skirt fabric out to me, and asking me to feel the quality. It was a gift from her mother she tells me. Everything in the shop disappears to me. I just see her. I'm instantly enchanted by this Asian kitten.

I touch her skirt a bit gingerly tbh.. Maybe she's going to call security on me I think. We're chatting for a minute or two then I get an impulse to stroke her cheek. Before I've talked myself out of doing it my hand is doing it and I tell her she's so pretty. Intense eye contact, sparkle. She blushes and giggles then says "and you are handsome". Now it feels ON. We're getting bumped by people left and right trying to get to the shop display that we're blocking access to so I move her to a quieter area near some soft furnishings.

We meander around the store together looking at all the shit in there and she gets me to smell samples of tea in jars on another display. All my senses are now engaged and I'm in the moment. I tease her that her parents named her after Darjeeling tea because she's spicy (I hadn't managed to get my tongue around her Cantonese name). She laughs and tells me she's on holiday from Taiwan and it's her first time travelling alone.

We end up outside the store and I try to suss out the logistics. I ask her to come for tea with me and she says she doesn't have time but I keep gently pushing, persuading and shutting up. I resist the temptation to take a number and bail. I just stick out the awkwardness and she half turns away but doesn't leave. She finally buys the pitch and agrees to come with me to a bar on the top floor of a nearby book store for "20 minutes". We take the lift up to the fifth floor.

In the lift on the way up I take her hand and she is fine with that. We sit down and order tea and hand holding turns into mutual caressing. I inspect her socks and prod her ankles in the process. The love bubble is well and truly formed now. I'm hard as a brick in my jeans. It's almost painful.

I go to the toilet and when I come back she's on the phone speaking in Cantonese and I guess and hope she's re-arranging her plans with her friends. After an hour or two I decide I need to extract her and in the lift back down there's just the two of us so I go for the kiss. She accepts and we're rolling now. We head towards my place which is a 20 minute walk. She's a little unsure. I can feel it. But I give her plenty of comfort on the way and it's all ok.

By 8.30 we are in my apartment. She messes around with my guitar. I tell her her nails are too long to play it properly. There's some token LMR. When I go to kiss her she head turns. She just wants to hug she says. So we hug for ages, maybe 1/2 hour in silence. Then she tells me it's the eve of her 26th Birthday. I say well I need to give you a birthday kiss then and we make out heavily on the bed. She tells me she's on her period. It's my first experience of this believe it or not. I thought that meant no sex maybe but she is keen to continue so fine.

By 9.30 she's done the deed. As I roll off her I say "Happy Birthday" and she laughs and giggles (at how naughty she's been and got lucky on her Birthday I guess). In the morning I buy her breakfast. We come back to my apartment because she says she needs to charge her phone (yeah right ) and I fuck her again.

She's pretty and charming. Asian girls can be very passionate once you are alone with them and they don't feel judged.

A few days later she was back in Taiwan and we've kept in touch.

I'm not totally over my yellow fever yet...
