Ok, so that's either a new high, or a new low, for me. I guess depending upon how you look at it. I personally view it as amazing, seeing as though a couple months ago, when I was still going through that "shy guy" phase I hit, something like this would have been pretty much impossible for me.
One trick I've learned , which helped me do this last night, is that (whether you smoke or not) it's not an entirely bad idea to buy a pack (and a lighter, obviously) and keep it on you. Like it or not alot of chicks smoke, and it becomes kind of a social thing. I bought a pack, the other day, of these French cigarettes, Gauloise Blondes (says something different about you than Marlboro Reds; girls notice every detail it seems), and I have a nice Zippo (always classy to light a lady's cigarette for her). So anyway I went outside for a "cigarette break" during this wake I was attending last night when I saw there were a couple girls out there. I lit one of the girl's cigarette for her and that pretty much opened convo. Basic small talk. Who are you here for? Etc, etc. I pretty quickly moved into getting her talking about her job, and determined immediate availability (or lack thereof) by saying, "Who drove tonight, you? Or your b/f ? Or ??" She said, "No I don't have a b/f" . I took that as an IOI. I ended it by saying "Well I have to get back in. There'll be a prayer soon I think." She said, "Yeah I should too." Then, in a way I have not really done before (I just figured, screw it be bold), I simply said, "Well hey it was really nice meeting you. How about a cup of coffee or a drink or something some night?? Are you free alot of nights during the week, or, are weekends better, or ??" She said, "I'm free most weeknights." "Great, " I said, "Well let me call you then." I did the prescribed pull out and open up the cell phone thing, and waited. And, like a charm, it worked. She said, "Alright this is my cell." And that was it. I will (probably) call around Sunday (I really don't feel like having to deal with a "first date" possibility either this Friday or Saturday). The problem for me now seems to be, after I get these #'s, which I've gotten a few of lately (although yes there have been several shoot-downs as well ; none brutal however), I seem to lack interest in actually CALLING them. lol...Strange. It seems like the "point" is almost becoming #-collecting or something, but I realize that should NOT be the point and therefore I will have to take active steps to work on myself in that respect (as well as many others).
