haha as far as pua goes, a pick up could happen anywhere, anytime... I've never been the best at switching to game mode when in a bland ordinary setting, such as a Staples. but thats exactly where i was when what might turn out to be one of the most successful catches of my PUA career began. Oddly enough this time I felt like i was the one being picked up. Its not supposed to be this easy... haha oh how i regret telling myself that time and time again when it obviously IS!

Anyway there I was, looking at portable hard drives for school, and there she was, looking at candy near the cashier. We made eye contact, i smiled, she did too. I was about to say something and was actually a little surprised when she beat me to the punch. I think her phrase was "they just try to rope you in with all this candy, dont they?" either way we got into a full conversation with quite a bit of DHV about the projects i've been working on as a visual artist. She began to tell me about her work as a model and such, this girl was miss chicago for gods sake haha. But of course, i projected myself as a nonchalant chill guy, i've noticed this is a lot more effective for more attractive women since they get a lot of overly gawky guys that invade on them, so they'd rather do the chasing. Anyway thanks to direct IOIs with a smile and unwavering eye contact, i added her on facebook before she even left the store.

Later i realized she had 1000 plus friends and she added more every day, but that didn't stop me haha if theres one thing i've learned its never to assume you've lost till you've won. I left her a wall post saying i'd love it if she could help me out by sporting my friends t shirt line. She posted on my wall saying it was nice to meet me. About a week or 2 later she uploaded a new picture of her sporting this christmas lingerie, quite a few people had already posted on it and one guy said "now thats a christmas present". i posted the comment below:

Me to HB:" it ain't a christmas present haha... its a tease. too bad lol i was hoping for one of those in my stocking this year. ;P"

i got a wall post within 24 hours with this:

HB to Me:"hey i would love to sport some of ur gear and model with it! and thanks for the pic comment ur too cute"

i responded with this:

haha not nearly as cute as you but thanks. we'll have to work out some time you can come down here for a shoot then.

This now brings us to the present time. That last message was as of tonight. Its clearly an IOI that she waited to agree to model until i flirted with her, and i plan on being the one to do the shoot, as I'm actually a photographer myself. Not only will this jump start my career in photography, it will sell my t shirt line AND i get to move my game with her up a few notches.

So i thought i'd share that i'm in a very good mood right now, feeling pretty good about this. any advice is appreciated, otherwise wish me luck lol. so step one, get her here for a photo shoot. step 2, move onto kino. step 3... i cant decide. i would bet i can kiss close at this point anyway.

oh and final note: WOO HOO for timing. winter break and my roommate is out of town. shibby.

Congratulations

Congrats man! Keep us posted

She's sprung. Remember to have fun with it and know you're in the driver's seat. Be aggressive bro and don't trip over it. Like you said, let her chase you, I guess. Man I can't say a model has ever opened me and responded so forthright, but just don't get one-itis. You rock man!

trust me haha i wont get one-itis. i had like three-itus before haha pretty much regretting all the women i had a chance with but blew, but this doesnt worry me at all. i got another model i did some photoshop editing for suggest a threesome and another girl (not a model but still a 10) i'm considering a LTR with if she's willing. I'd say my options are pretty open. I'm getting a little worried i might be becoming one of those easily bored types though... I think i need to slow down.

Thanks for the words of encouragement bro, you rock too haha. Half the people on this site are some of the coolest people around, thanks to the wisdom passed through these forums. I can honestly say pua has made me a better man, if only the rest of the world had the insight of people on here. (but then again pickup would be 10 times harder haha)

Oh and pebble... commenting on the carpet is a bit AFC in my opinion... Don't take it the wrong way, but the carpet has nothing to do with her and she will see it coming a mile away, and not in a good light. Thats a recipe to get a girl to laugh at you, it wont really help her attraction to you.

Update on the game plan btw:
she's been pretty busy with work, hasnt been on fb except to update once on her new job working on this movie 'beyond the mat' or something. when you live a life as busy as hers you get a lot of guys wanting in, hence the 20 "you're so beautiful"s in the week or so since i commented on her pic. Out of all of them she has an interest in me which is great, but its easy for her to get busy and lose track so the sooner i can get her to do that photoshoot the sooner i can knock her spinning world out of orbit. To a girl that moves fast like that, if you can catch her off guard with attraction its like you knocked her world out of orbit, its perfect. But i think right now persistance and patience is key, if i try too hard to get her attention i lose my rapport and any chance i had is gone, if i try too little, she forgets her attraction to me and gets sucked into the chaos of her life and any chance i have is gone. If i can say the right things at the right time, shes mine, period, bingo, ace in the hole. But as of now i'm crouching in the bushes, waiting for the right moment to pounce.

I hate to be a buzzkill here but I think this chick is playing you BIG TIME. Everything she has done to this point has been positive, no question, but it feels more like networking rather than IOI's directed to you in a personal way. Now I could be completely mistaken but here is how you are going to know if this modeling session is a business proposition or a ruse to get close to you. I have a friend who does lingerie modeling and she is CONSTANTLY networking. When she DOES do a job with a photographer for free, it is basically with the understanding that he gets her to build up their portfolio of work and she gets the pictures to build up hers. She NEVER goes to the photography session alone (at least for the first couple of shoots until she feels comfortable). So, here is my advice....if she is going down the road of making it sound more like a business session...make a tactical retreat by doing the following. Tell her you want to meet her fer drinks (NOT LUNCH OR DINNER!!) to do a creative planning session...you want to talk about outfits, lighting, textures, themes, etc etc etc... If she goes for that, then you basically have yourself a nice date...if she balks by wanting to bring a friend or otherwise flakes...then turn the tables and start networking her model friends by finding out if they are looking for a professional photographer to build their portfolios (at least you can exploit her if all else fails)....I hope things work out for you though! Keep us posted on this!! Good luck!

Wow, rather large accusation. i kind of take offense actually. not because i dont doubt that its possible, but its almost an insult to my own ability to see through things like that. Either way you gave some good advice, so far she knows its not so much "down to business" as she and i getting together to take some photos of her, but i will definitely use your "creative planning session". I'm all about the underlying mindsets, if she comes here for a photoshoot it has nothing to do with her portfolio and everything to do with posing in sexy outfits for me. I just need to get her down here so i can work my magic.

Just so you got a clear picture this is what i had in mind: Meet up with her in a casual setting, no green screen backing and lighting, just me and her and a bit of fun conversation, keeping it relaxed, almost keeping the discussion of the shoot as a secondary topic. Of course let her change into the tees she'll be sporting, use that little dip in my voice when i tell her she looks beautiful, keep my frame about 3 notches more intimate than her cheery upbeat vibe. (i'm a fan of that spanish romance style charm, its actually quite effective) Find someplace to do the shoot almost spontaneously like "oh this looks like a good place" and start taking pictures. As i'm telling her which position to pose, move in to adjust her position, pause for a moment, let the kino sink in until eye contact is made and then... move in for the kiss close.

By the way, i'm not a exactly an experienced professional photographer... (yet)

ok she told me this "im down weekends are good for me just let me know"... one problem however... a mugger broke my nose the day before yesterday. (no joke) If i put her off now i'm not sure if it will help or hinder, i could probably just name a date and she'll come but with a swollen face my game will surely take a hit. i'm not sure what i'm gonna do about that...

Seems like this chick is a man-eater. She'll pull you along and ljbf you right off the bat. If she's a model, you're not the first photographer to try and fuck her. Thats how they get more shoots. They flirt it up. It's networking for them.

I wouldn't go for her. Get up with her at times and just...don't flirt. Hold back. She'll wonder why the fuck you aren't getting flirty with her and she'll go for you. Be more professional than the other people she's worked with.

Put her on the friend bus. Then fuck her friends. Instead of going for just one lay, you get close with her so she's your arm candy when you go out, and then you can rail out all her friends...and afterwards, rail her out.

Try to implement a jealousy plot line. Tell her that you have a girlfriend and you'll be gone on vacation for a couple weeks with her across the country. Then just wait for a response. You have nothing to lose by saying that bro.

yeah i'm aware she flirts for a living haha. and i'm waiting it out so she remembers that empty post she made on my wall that i have yet to comment on, thanks for the advice. As far as being professional goes, i'm not sure thats me. But the dominant professional attitude would help quite nicely, i think making her seem insignificant from a professional standpoint would actually do wonders. although i wouldnt describe her personality as man eater, shes actually quite cool. But she does flirt with every photographer she knows, and theres only one reason i know shes not just doing it for a connection: She has no idea i'm a photographer as well.

I've always been good at taking a woman who can obviously have any man (and in turn tries to have every man), and blowing open their reality. I dont roll with the punches by making her jealous if she sees me as just another guy. I stop her dead in her tracks with the cold hard reality that i dont think like anyone she's encountered and therefore cant be dealt with the same. When a girl is forced to find a whole new course of action in dealing with someone in their life, you better believe that person has an impact on them. Its how you "knock a girl out of orbit".

Nonetheless, jealousy and friend bus option duely noted. Will be implementing each.
