Odd (But Good) Number Close Just Now

[samspade]

There's a girl who just started working at my pharmacy. The last couple of times she's rung me out I made light/mildly flirty banter with her. She's about 22, and from Guyana. Very good looking in my opinion.

Well anyway today I walked in and she was sitting down in an aisle stocking a shelf. I was going to say hi but she saw me coming and said "Hi! How are you doing?" I passed her and said not bad how about you, and she kept going after the requisite reply.

So I stopped and chatted her up and she made it really easy. A lot of energy/smiling and volunteering personal stuff (where she goes to school, what neighborhood she lives in, her ethnicity, etc., etc.)

In fact I was mentally flipping through my Roosh tips including dropping bait and trying to get her to ask questions about me. But the fact is she was talking so much about herself and with such friendliness I didn't get a chance to drop much.

I broke one rule by asking her name first but she happily gave it and we had a good long hand shake. I said "let's continue this conversation some where else soon" and she without hesitation said "Sure!"

I was actually kind of surprised but didn't show it. I got her number and even sort of bumbled at the end of our interaction but got out of there shortly thereafter. I told her it might be a week til she hears from me since I have company in town and she said "No problem."

It's a lot of analysis for a number close, but I'm trying to figure out if she's just one of those bubbly/friendly people or is interested in me. Maybe I'm not giving myself enough credit here but I feel like she doesn't know anything about me that would give her initial attraction. Well, we'll find out. A good DJ friend of mine said "always assume intimacy" which I think is a good way to go.

Feedback welcome.

***EDIT*** I did use the Roosh technique of saying "when I call you better have a big smile on your face" or words to that effect. But I forgot to make it a question rather than a statement. Ah well.

No need to analyze. You got the number. Call her and see if she wants to meet up.

Good point. It just happened unexpectedly so I surprised myself. Especially since I've been taking a break from approaching lately. Always be gaming I guess.

you just might have her in the bag, but it's tough saying. females are notorious for misleading behavior.

if a female is real into you, she'll make it easy. hopefully this is what happened to you.


in addition, i think you were overanalyzing, such as regretting that you asked her name first. imo, there aren't that many principles you need to apply to have good game, and i would avoid thinking of game as meeting a long list of do's and don'ts.
anyway, here's what i feel is the essence of game: "confidence" (i.e. not being afraid), dhv (via direct dhv, or negs), humor, rapport, decent dress.

You'll find out when she says yes (or no) in the follow-up escalation.

It's the only reliable way.

Sometimes you catch a woman in a feel-good mood and she appears highly interested, but later on she feels something else and appears not. Which is why we have the classic saying "Strike when the iron's hot".

your natural instincts and your "game" were contradicting each other. Sometimes even AFC's get laid just because they naturally click with a girl. There have been times when I've not gotten a number because I've felt I had to be ****y or ignore or whatever, when I could have just been myself and it would have been fine. Every once in a while it comes easy and natural and for some reason that confuses us.

Just go with it. You got her number. You felt she liked you, don't over think it. Just because you didn't "build attraction" doesn't mean she can't be attracted to you.

Y'all are right. Sometimes I forget what a handsome devil I am.

These types of women are far from easy. Expect to go on 5 dates before you get any action most likely.

Three dates is generally my cutoff and that's pushing it.

Sometimes with the foreign girls you have to be a little for forgiving. Some of them are really conservative. But not always.. there are slutty ones too I guess.

The old dilemma in both seduction and sales. On the one hand, there's tons of techniques, methods and strategies to "build interest. This requires gaming the crap out of every single prospect.

On the other hand, there's the High Probability angle that says just collect as many numbers you can get, and only focus on the ones that are naturally attracted to you, so you won't have to worry about any technique.

To the OP, as far as this girl goes, just keep any future interactions with her as similar to the initial "pickup.":

Relaxed, no pressure, no expectations. Don't overthink it. Just lay back, look for green lights, and take 'em.

Bro she seemed pretty happy to give you her number...did you make sure she remembers your name and why you are going to call?
