| Post subject: | First FR in a while, # close with HB9 |
Location: Local neighbourhood, San Francisco Objective: Get to know new roommate, open sets if the chance arises Outcome: # close with HB9 Just had a 9 move into the apartment that I share with her and another girl. So we had a little getting-to-know-you drink tonight at a wine bar. When going to meet them there I thought to myself that I need to focus better than I have been lately, so I tried to mentally come up with lines for each girl I saw on the way there. Didn't think of any, but at least I was getting tuned in. After a short while sitting at the table with these 4 chicks I saw this HB9 with sexy eyes and a great rack sitting alone at the bar, so I pounced after checking her out for about 30 seconds (Haven't quite got this 3-second rule down yet, need more canned openers). Stood beside her by an empty stool: Speedbird: 'Is anyone on this?' HB9: 'No, nobody there' I stood with my back to her while I leaned in and tried to get the barmaid's attention. After a few seconds: Speedbird: 'Let's see if I can get this girl's attention' HB9 promptly calls the barmaid by name and points her in my direction. I order a glass of water (already had a big glass of wine and was getting buzzed. I swear she's still a 9, buzz or no buzz). Speedbird: 'You must show me how to do that sometime.' HB9: *chuckles* Speedbird: 'So how did you do it? Are you some sort of hypnotist?' HB9: 'No, I know her, she's my friend' Speedbird: 'Oh, so how do you know each other? Are you sisters, or co-workers, or lovers or something?' HB9: 'We used to be roommates.....' Plenty of fluff talk now, but with a little injection of a style of dry wit that I've made my own. She mentions briefly that she has a fella, but fuck it, he's not there and she has the body language of a single chick so that's probably a bogus defence, so I ignore it and decide to plough on and try for some sort of close anyway just for practice. She admires the barman's bracelet that shows the insignia of some African tribe famous for its jewelry, she has a massive belt buckle with the same pattern on it. I ask if that's her ancestry, but it isn't, although she mentions how we all came from Africa, so from a certain point of view it is. I see her and I raise her by bringing up that we're all related, even to the whales in the sea. [I turn my back to the bar and lean back on it, she soon turns in her stool to face me. While I'm talking I look away and rub my eyes once in a while, just to stay cool and not let her think I'm working too hard.] Speaking of whales, I ask her for a close relative of the whale (she doesn't guess it) and I tell her it's the hippo which has a shitload of common DNA with whales, so I explain how both animals developed air-breathing and went back into the sea, but the hippos stuck around the shore and retained the option of walking around on the bottom and walking back onto land, whereas the whales stayed in the water and lost the need for the walking action, yadda yadda yadda. Heard it on NPR. I DHV by mentioning that I listen to NPR, and luckily she does too. Back to the jewelry subject, we talk about her peace sign hanging from her neck (I kino a little by holding it in my hand) and I tell her a story I read on BBC News about the history of that sign. HB9: 'Wow, I never knew that!' I DHV again by telling the story of the girls I'm out with, I point out the hot German chick who has just moved in, and the other roommate. I tell her that there's a lady sitting at the other end of the table who was just sitting there and has joined our group, she's doodled a masterpiece on the paper sheet on the table and invite her over to check it out. HB9: 'Won't that be awkward?' Speedbird: 'Come on, check it out!' She obeys. So I bring her over, without sitting down show her the drawing, quickly introduce her to everyone (the 4 chicks and 0 fellas at the table), then before awkwardness sets in I say she'd better get back to her seat before someone steals it. So I withdraw us back to 'her' base again after the little sortie into 'my' female-infested territory. I lay on the DHVs pretty thick by going into how I'm buying a condo (nesting theory - female birds are attracted to mates who can build a strong nest for the eggs) and showing her a piece of jewelry that I use to connect the conversation with a sport that I'm involved in (sorry, I don't want to post the details and have it become the new 'Cube routine' that everyone does, I want to keep it for me, hope you don't mind) and she admires the jewelry and the fact that a body needs to be disciplined to train for my sport. She looks me up and down too, as if to confirm that I have the build for it. (I do.) Her friend the barmaid comes along and gives her some wine. I DHV by using the wine to relate to a story about my sister who inventively ordered me some wine for a Christmas present by googling my corner store, calling them, and paying for the order by credit card. We somehow get onto the subject of traffic in my native Ireland, I tell her some socio-economic theory I have about traffic and obesity, and then Speedbird to HB9's barmaid friend: 'We're talking about traffic' Barmaid says that it doesn't sound like a terribly interesting topic, I playfully neg her for saying that I'm boring, she tries to justify herself, I de-fuse it by granting her a pardon and assuring her I'm just kidding (gotta make sure negs don't backfire there when someone has just come into the convo and didn't hear the tone of my wit before) and HB9 DHVs on my behalf by saying it's more interesting in this context because it's the traffic in Ireland that we're talking about. I play a little guessing game to figure out what she does. I always do this instead of the standard "what do you do - I do this" question and answer. It drags the conversation out a bit more and makes it more fun IMHO. I ask if she has a card, she feels her pockets and doesn't have any on her, so I give her my phone to put her number into so I can text her for the website later. She says 'Oh yeah, put the number in here' she chuckles cynically as she takes the phone and puts her number on it. HB9: 'There, I've just called it.' I immediately text her my name which is difficult to spell, 'just so she knows how to spell it.' I let the convo go for a few more minutes (a little history lesson about celtic languages {following on from the spelling of my name} that she finds interesting) before pulling the FTC and getting back to 'my girls' because I need to hit the bed and go to work in the morning. And of course I don't want to cramp the style of her and her friend. Apparently she was waiting for the barmaid to take a break, which she was not doing. (Must have been seeing how well we were getting along.) So I go back to my girls at the table. Out of the corner of my eye I see HB9 chatting with the barmaid, and a few minutes later she's gone. She has one sexy set of eyes and a terrific rack, and best of all, my girls at the table all agree with me! Next: 48 hour time bridge followed by a neg about how I hope she didn't speed across the Bay Bridge (something I brought up in convo for the purpose of bringing up again after time bridge). I have a girl who I'm kinda seeing (had a day 3 with her on Sunday and ended up fooling around half naked with her on Sunday, but got LMRd and couldn't bring myself to do the freeze out) but I think I'll follow up on this anyway to see what happens. You never know. |
