I've been trying to follow up on a promising lead from the middle of October. I chatted up a talk with this cute black girl at the Gap. A little "sporty" and definitely young (some piercings, some tattoos), she was very flirtatious with me the first time we met. She is still at the university and ust turned 21 years old.
Well, I went back to the Gap twice since I first met her and she wasn't there.
Yesterday, I attended a Bar Mitzvah and was on my way home. I was dressed and looked pretty decent. I didn't want to waste wearing the suit. But the "scene" that I used to hang out in (Roosevelt Avenue) would be dead for another 7 hours! I was on the phone with bunyon and, EUREKA!, he suggested going to see my little target.
I walked in, she was a the cash register. Instead of fiddling around and looking at clothes, I walked up to her when she was free. We chatted. She remembered who I was. I was surprised that she was prettier than I remembered. I asked her for her phone number right off the bat and she wrote it down and gave it to me. I actually didn't have to run any game at all. She was ready. I mentioned this to bunyon, I think I might have stayed 2 minutes too long. I ran out of things to say and started saying, "Wow, this is really wonderful I got your number..." One of the rules in this game is to not sound "desperate". I broke that rule, but I immediately realized it and left on a positive note.
So, the moral of this story is
NOT that I got her number. It is to show that the mall is a place where opportunities abound. Lord Soth, The Mechanic, Lorenzo and others have some good solid stories. Honestly, I kind of hope this thread gets the "hook up juices" flowing...especially with prime mall shopping time approaching!
