I went out all alone yesterday. I called other guys from the community but they were busy in their own world. Fuck them I am doing this all alone.
In garuda food court. I saw a lone wolf sitting by herself. All my instincts told me that she was lone wolf my logical brain starts it over analyzing process and waiting game to see if she is with anybody. Seriously, I need to stop playing it safe and embrace the unknown, Push myself out of comfort zone, act spontaneously and listen to my instincts. After lame assing around for a few minutes. I decide to open her :
Me : May I join you if I ain't disturbing you i.e.
Made a confident effort to open her with the widest smile and great EC.
HB8: I am almost done (with my food) but you can join me.
Me : Thanks, I am Preetham. What's your name ?
And then I don't remember exactly what I told her. But it more of general talk about work, family, friends, interests and other getting to the other person stuff. I didn't see lot of IOIs but I was comfortable because she seemed interested and I was genuinely interested in her. Lot instances where I know I came across as a confident passionate guy. I remember I was deliberately slow and took all the time I can while I talked. Listening is my forte ... which I did with intent.
I notice that although she was done with her food within few mins of opening her. She still hung around for me to finish mine. I was nearly done with my food. She said she would leave. I tried to push for a date close. Asking what she was doing for the weekend. Unfortunately she wasn't going to be in town. Hence, I had to settle for number close.
HB8 : I gotta move now.
Me: Sure, it was nice meeting you here. I would love to meet you again. What are you doing this weekend.
HB8: I am outta town.
Me: Let me get your number in that case. May be I will give u a call sometimes.
HB8: Sure. here it is ....xxxxxxxxxx
Me: I will give you a missed call so that u have my number.
I sent her a text message saying that it was nice meeting her. I didn't get any response. May be its not a solid close. I gonna text her in a day or two to find out. :-)
After this I went to brigade... found this HB9.5 walking with her friend HB8 on the other side of the street. I wanted to open, I was about to cross the road that they started walking towards me. They made it easy.
Me : Hey guys, whats a good shop around here to get some ladies shoes.
HB8 : You have this shop over there go there you will find.
Me : Oh !! really.
HB9.5 : You'll get some nice ones in Levi's
Me : Are you trying to like mislead me. I am beginning to be afraid of you now. :P (delivered playfully)
HB9.5 : he he ... no no I meant this shop mochi.... blah blah blah
While blaberred for that minute. I was just standing there lost in her beauty. :D. I also noticed that the HB8 had gone away from the set and wanted I guess she was not into me :P.
I realised that I had less time before HB9.5 exits the set. Although she seemed interested she had to bow to her cockblock friend. :-(. So I was beginning to go direct.
HB9.5 : <>
Me: Listen I just came here to say a hi..... << By the time I could say this the cockblock friend had already motioned her over. What a pity ?.>>
In hindsight if I had a stronger presence I could have so gotten this one. Lesson : Have a great presence.
In all a good evening.
