Just to let you guys know the full story:
It's the first week back at college and I'm still living in the dorms. O well. I've been scouting out my classes and finding acceptable targets to game. I've found one in just about every class, but that's beside the point.
Small side story: (You can skip, but it's kind of funny.) I left one of my Tues/Thurs classes and found a friend who was going to his next class. I remember one of my roommates is taking the same class and decided to "sneak into the class" with an instructor whom I enjoy.
So I'm sitting in this Art History class (I'm a 3D Animation major) and eventually the instructor splits us into groups. My target, a solid 7, sits down next to me and my friend (who I saw going to this class earlier) is sitting on the opposite side of me. Now, this class isn't exactly what you would call a hard class, and I tend not to take it seriously at all. So I'm joking and laughing with my friends until I notice my target writing down the assignment we're supposed to be doing and I lean over to help her, (Not gaming her yet...) but i'm dragging this out...
When the professor calls on our group to tell her what we've completed for the assignment (a short list of characteristics of the art of the time period) my target hands me her notebook and I read off the list. When I'm finished, I don't even acknowledge that I still have her notebook resting on my lap. I use it as a lock-in prop in kind of a backwards way. I talk to her a little and she seems to enjoy meeting me. So as the class ends I return her notebook and we both begin to walk out of the class. Now I think: "It's time to get her number, I know just the routine, it will work." I turn for over-the-shoulder to talk to her while leaving only to discover she's talking to the professor. (Yes, I know I should've just waited and ran the routine...anyways...)
So Thrus rolls around and I go to the class again. Class is boring...she's not sitting near me...whatever. Class ends.
I wait outside the room like I'm waiting for my friend and I open the target, ironically she was the 2nd person out of the classroom. She pulls out her cell phone and I, in a way, just cut the opener short and since she looked like she wasn't buying it, I say: "Well, nice to meet you..." and let her leave. I feel like a failure and I'm kicking myself for it, but at this time I feel like the set is blown and I'll just move on. No sense in getting one-itis again.
Well, as I leave the building, to my surprise, I see my target again and through a series of quick moves I position myself for perfect over the shoulder again. I reopen her with "Are you stalking me now?" to put her on the defensive and make her qualify herself to me. She laughs and takes it as cocky-funny. I'm back in. I run some small talk/fluff "Where are you from? What's your major? What year are you?" and she seems to be okay with it. It's nothing super PUA...but at least I'm making an effort to try to open again. (Yes, I know I was building comfort and I'll probably get the LJBF card if I'm not careful.) Again, I let her leave, since we ended up in the parking lot and she was near her car.
I return home and find her on Facebook...I invite her to a party...she responds: "I'd like to go, but I don't drink much so I'd probably just be there to hang out with you and whatever." Good thing right? "However, I work back at home (40 minutes away) and I have to get up early and go back tomorrow morning. I'm so sorry, I would really like to go. blah blah blah blah blah..." So I'm like okay, no problem (trying to keep it no-big-deal). I talk to her some more and run a few DHVs.
Now it probably sounds like I'm out, BUT, she keeps texting me and talking to me and I just know that there's still something there...even if it's small I think I can get it relit and recover and turn this into something good.
Give me advice and what to do! Please.
Thanks,
Vito
