Okay...just got back from my workout...
I am a writer and actor, so this may be a bit long and dramatic...
I took the chance that as workout girl missed her workout last night, she would probably be there this morning...
She was, along with 2 other guys who were working out (no with her though). Honestly, I felt a bit AFC, as the guys next to me were huge, and dressed a bit better than me, etc. I said "hi" to her through the mirror, but she had her headphones on and was watching TV. No reply.
So...I actually felt dissed. Plus the 2 buff guys who were obviously showing off their testosterone gave me a very "weak" feeling.
Still focused on the TV, she again did not say anything when I walked by and asked how her workout was going.
Again, felt really dissed.
I told myself FVCK IT!! I could be totally reading into this....if she is going to diss me, I rather get dissed in the face, and I was tired of pvssying around.
I figured she was nearing the end of her workout, so I strategically decided to work my back (where the machines are placed near the exit). Figured even if I get dissed, I rather go for it in front of the 2 guys acting who were all alpha and hot shyt who only had the balls to stare at her the whole time.
As she is done her workout, she smiles and says, "goodbye", and I ask if she ended up making her workout last night (I knew she didn't, but only thing i could think of). I follow her for a few steps, at which point she removes the headphones and says she couldn't make it. I poke fun at her, calling her a slacker, making excuses, etc.
Got her smiling a bit, so I asked her what her plans were for the week. She said she was doing nothing really...some writing to do, planning a vacation, but nothing major. I asked her if she wanted to do something fun. She smiled and said, "like what?".
ME - "You like rides?"
HB -"What kind of rides"
ME - (my plan was to invite her to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS and CITY WALK", which is a really cool place at night. Thought that roller coasters, haunted houses, etc. would really be cool and exciting) "like roller coasters, rides, haunted houses, etc.".
HB - "mmmm...no...that sort of stuff scares me...The fear of FLYING out of a roller coaster...."
(yeah, I know...there was a 50/50 chance she would like it)
ME - (smiling) "Well, we can figure something out...when is your next day off?"
HB - "ummm..pretty much every day. I am not doing much..how about we talk about it next time we see each other working out?"
(YIKES. I took that as diss. I then really hesitated as I did not know what to say).
ME - "So what have you done for fun since being here?"
HB - "ummmm...hmmmm...well...nothing really".
ME - (poking fun) "what? you've been here in LA for 8 weeks, and you have not done anything for fun?
HB - "embarrassed, "hmmm...no...not really" (she smiles)
ME - "I want to go out and have some fun this week...and I would love for you to come" (kinda lame, but it was the only thing that came out o my mouth).
She smiles.
ME - (at this point i was REALLY STUCK, and nerves got to me) "tell you what...I have a busy day today...and tomorrow with an audition...why don't I give you a call tomorrow and we can figure something out?"
HB - "sure"
ME "what's your number?"
(she gives me her number and I plug it into my cell). She then pulled out hers. As I plug it the digits she asks me if i am calling her.
ME - "No, just plugging it in to my phone"
(HA!!!! I really DID NOT clue in that she wanted me to call her, to get my number into HER phone - number exchange)
Anyway, there was more to the convo, but that was the general gist. I ended up trying to keep it light, joked around, etc., and I told her I would call her tomorrow.
The issue is that throughout the convo, I was selling her on UNIVERSAL, convincing her it isn't that bad (very tame actually), and I KNOW she would have a good time...but I do not want to take here there if she is going to be freaked out and not enjoy it.. So...now I am at a loss as I don't have a back-up plan.
Also, the IL does not seem very high. It's tough to read as she looks very unapproachable and shy...sometimes bytchy looking...but when we talk she is all smiles.
When she said, "why don't we talk about it next time we work out", I figured it was either a) a diss, or b) a prompt for me to get her number...not sure...
I have no clue where to go from here...really...
