What does 'make out' mean in this context?
BTW I am not sure if you have already past your 'cute' date (because of 
being of the wrong sex to judge). You might try to go for 'interesting'. 
I think that is much safer. You can do that for many years to come, even 
outside of the context of chatting up ladies in bars. And you do have 
some unique features.
