It was around 1 p.m., the university cafeteria was very busy and there weren't any tables available. I employed my usual tactic of approaching the table of an HB7 or higher. So I spotted this HB 7 right in the vicinity of where I was walking when I gave up my search for a table.
She was sitting alone at a square table for 4.
Me: Excuse me, is anyone sitting here...or any of these seats (pointing to other empty seats).
HB: No, no one is sitting at any of these.
Me: O.K, is it cool if I sit here.
HB: Yeah, sure (with friendly smile)
I could tell she wanted me to sit there and was interested in getting to know me. Detecting this, I didn't say anything for the first 4 minutes at the table. I just read the textbook for course X that I'm taking. She looked up with the "why aren't you going to talk to me look" 2 or 3 times.
The next time she looked up I asked her what she was reading. She told me . After that, we did the "what's your major," "how do you like the university," etc. conversation pattern.
Now AMOG (coincidently also in course X)who is wearing a frat t-shirt pulls a chair from outside our table and sits right next to HB. ( I sat across from her by the way) Also it is worth noting that my stuff was occupying both other chairs.
As he pulls the chair and going toward HB
AMOG: "Hey, Your in Course X" (noticing my book as he's taking a seat)
I sensed by his tone of voice that he probably thought about what to say for at least a few seconds because it came out rushed and uneasy--he was uncomortable doing what he did. He already knew I was in his course but just acted like he didn't..but of course, this is probably the right thing to do.
Me: "Yeah, how are you doing in the course"
A couple more similar exchanges for 20-30 seconds.
Next we both proceed to talk to HB, but seperately. She didn't give me any less attention and she initiated questions.
Some girl that they both know came by and talked to the standing up for a few minutes.
I made EC with AMOG several times. He had the "aren't you gonna say something to me since we're in a class together," but I didn't know what to say so I just kept shut with respect to him. Before I left, I talked to AMOG about course X for about a minute as I was saying goodbye. The HB told me that it was nice getting to know me. But I didn't number close. In fact right when AMOG (especially since he's in a class of mine) came I switched my convo. from game talk to friendly talk.
Critique?
