Sir Shinra
Don Juan
This is one I could have closed if it weren't for two things:
1)Bad endgame calibration
2)Getting ****blocked
From the beginning...
I'm on the bus, on the way to work. I had no plans to approach, as I
usually try to study Korean/Japanese in the mornings. However,
there's no seat, and I realize I forgot to bring my iPod earplugs.
Nothing else to do but approach. I spot an HB7 standing behind a
couple of old ladies. Logistics are unfavorable, and I anticipate the
cold shoulder, but I kick myself in the ass and approach anyway.
She was keen from the start.
She's a law student headed to
a heavy club area for work... don't really remember. Bust on
her for going drinking instead of work, and she hooks nicely. Time
bridge for two days later before getting off at my stop feeling
energetic and ready for the day.
The next day, I call and reschedule for a couple hours later because
of a prior commitment that I had forgotten, and she is still keen.
That day, I change the location. Still keen. This is gonna go well
Upon arrival, I BT spiked her with the "Max Rider" simulator and gave the
the option of drinking coffee or alkyhol. I could see her fidgeting
around getting some beer, so I bounce her to one of my favorite bars. Bartenders in that area are notorious for ****blocking, but I figured since I was in all right with the bartenders here, and I'm bring my own girl there rather than hunting, they'd help me out.
Read on.
The bar has only five or so people, and I motion towards a table, but
upon giving me an enthusiastic greeting (it's been awhile since my last visit) the bartender asks us to sit up front. I hesitate for a
second, and it seems like HBLaw wants to sit at the table, but I
thought sitting at the bar would make kino easier.
The BT spike had worked wonders on HBLaw, and I had zoomed though
comfort (too fast; I think it's a problem) with the palm reading. I
diagnosed her as open-minded and adventurous, which she ate up. She
likes sports like mountain climbing and ice skating. I ran Strawberry Fields which made her laugh, all while going "no no no!" I had just started
relationship Qs, and I'm getting a really good vibe from her with lots
of eye contact, but suddenly I remember that I'm running on empty. I
tell her "be right back" and run to the convenience store to buy some
condoms. I wasn't worried about someone else hitting on her because
there were so few people in the bar, and all but one guy was part of a
couple.
When I came back, the bartender was chatting her up. I sat down and
she immediately says "hunting?" I knew it was because he said
something. He asks "is that true," and I immediately say "yes.......
you hunted me!" She laughs, but I can tell her guard is up now. He
stuck around for a few minutes.
Eventually he leaves, but I later notice him overing around, wanting
to approach. I make sure to keep her full attention to prevent this.
She said the bartender told her I wasn't coming back. Surely he was
joking. If not, what an ass!. A bit later, I go into sexual
questions. She puts up some resistance here, saying "it is difficult
for Koreans to talk about this." I remind her that she's really
Brazilian (I said she looked like one when I approached her) but she
kept insisting she was Korean. When I finally get her to open up, the
bartender comes in AGAIN and grabs her phone and looks through the
pictures. I try to blow him out by complimenting his tattoo, but he
didn't bite. I take the phone from him and take his picture with it,
and have him take our pictures. Eventually a customer calls him over
and I quickly get her attention back (I don't think she was enjoying
his company) I have her finish her beer and we go, even though he was
asking us to stay.
I had seeded pocketball earlier, and since she said she couldn't do it
I volunteered to teach her, loaded her in a taxi and headed to my
place. Remembering my past mistakes, I made sure to TB for a walk
downtown next week. She kept asking about my apartment,
so I knew she wouldn't have any qualms about going in. I held her
hand on the way to the building. We come inside and immediately
forget about pocketball. She gets quite comfortable and picks up my
martial arts manual. I was kinoing her leg when a pause arose in the
conversation... she was looking down. Went for the kiss... too soon.
She pulled away, laughing. I laughed with her, and had her help me
measure my U.S. flag to put on my wall, and I taught her how to fold
it, since I had seeded (her) patriotism earlier. She denied being
patriotic, however.
After a few minutes, I sit her on the bed and show her a birthday card
from my mom. As she reads it, I move her hair aside and slowly
escalate on her neck. It's difficult keeping her hair out of the way.
She fidgets a bit, and I plant a kiss. She finished reading the
letter, and I had to explain what it meant. It broke the mood. Went
for her neck again, and she pulled away. "It's our first meeting." I
corrected her. "Second meeting."
Freezeout. Went to my couch and picked up my Korean notes. She
didn't let me disengage fully, asking me what I was doing. I have her
sit next to me on the couch, but she holds a pillow in front of her,
probably to keep me from kinoing her leg. I talk into her ear in a
seductive voice, and she pulls away.. She picks up my English novel
(Count of Monte Cristo, a good read) and I have her read a section
while going for the neck. Again, failure. I pick up her camera and
take a few photos. I want her to kiss my cheek for a shot, but she
refuses. After a bit of fluff talk, " I wanna get to know you" and I
respond with "Well, ask away.... my favorite color is blue, I was born
in September, I am from America, etc." She laughed, but it did no
good.
She says she has to go soon. After some more fluff, I flop on the bed
and pull out the pocketball set. We play on my bed, and she enjoys
it, despite it being completely nonsensical. As she taked her last
shot, I start kissing her to distract her. She laughs and pulls away,
"your'e cheating!" tension was up here and I just have just
cavemanned her, but she was so intent on resisting every close
attempt.
We both had work the next day, so I walked her home, about a 20 minute
walk, even though she said it was only 10. She still wants to hold my
hand, despite resisting my kiss attempts so many times. Upon arrival
at her place, I motion for her to kiss my cheek, and she finally
complies.
We're on for Tuesday, but that's too far from my home to
go for a close, unless I can keep her BT up through a 20 minute subway
ride. The other alternative is to wait until the Day4, or just forget
about her entirely. She's obviously keen, but she may try to force me
into a "make him wait" relationship frame. Any opinions on the best
course of action?

-Opened despite a disadvantageous circumstance.
-Good situational BT spikes. My improvisation skill is improving.
-Got into sexualization quickly.
-Had lots of stuff to talk about in my apartment (still need a computer, though)
-Remembered to time bridge before bouncing to the SL.
5^
-Held her hand for too long. It creates intimacy, but I think it puts
us in a dating-type frame.
-Bringing her to a known ****blocking venue. You'd think the staff
would APPRECIATE me bringing a girl, and a paying customer, to their
venue... never bringing a girl to a bar in that area again... at least not
one I haven't closed already.
-Didn't seed the line: "If I come back and someone isn't hitting on
you, I'll be very disappointed" when I left her alone.
-I didn't kino escalate enough in the SL. I went straight from
hand-on-leg to kiss attempt, from a pretty far physical distance.
It's a kind of a caveman technique, directly from the front. It's a
habit I picked up, since it worked wonders the first few times I did
it, but lately not so much.
-Not enough comfort
