Let me start by saying that I apologize for not posting this yesterday as planned. If you haven’t already, read Pick Up 2 Relationship Part I-IV or you will be lost. With out further ado, Pick Up 2 Relationship Part V:

So the last place I left you guys was that I had just kissed HB8. After that we walked around a little more. I was going to move into my getting her to my apartment material, but before I could she mentioned that we had to start making our way to the train station so she could get back (she commutes 2 hours each way Mon-Fri; insane). I would have been upset that I didn’t close her that night, but some where along the way I realized that she would be worth pursuing for a longer term relationship, so I wasn’t to heart broken that I didn’t close her fully that night. We walked to the train station and when her train came I kissed her one more time then she went on her way.

Note: I will be taking a break from posting on Pick Up 2 Relationships tomorrow on account of Halloween. Look for posting 2 days from now.

The next day I went back to the cell place right before it closed. HB8 was there with a co-worker. HB8 was busy assisting a last minute customer so I conversed with her co-worker so I would not appear to be waiting for her/have nothing going on. She is finally available since the customer leaves. The first fifteen seconds are crucial because it has the potential to be very awkward if you do not take charge and send the right messages. After all, although we kissed, she could be thinking what is the situation now? To avoid awkwardness, both when I entered the store and when I first made eye contact with her after the customer left I was smiling. Then I went over to her and planted one right on her lips and asked, “and how are you today my expert?” She smiled and said that she was doing well, but had a busy day. Then she said that she had to close up so I went back into convo with co-worker while she did that.

Me, her, and the co-worker left the shop together but the co-worker quickly branched off. As soon as we left the shop I went into hand-holding (see my notes on hand holding in the last post as for best positions). Then again soon after that I went into arm around each others backs position. She said that she wished that I would have texted her that I was coming so she could have staid longer, but that she had a dance meeting to go 2 near her house. Oh well, live and learn. The train station is still half hour away so still good opportunities.

Before arriving I put together a list for a scavenger hunt one side of a piece of paper and a drawing of a dog on the other (a portion of our previous convo involved a dog). When we were walking I said that I saw the perfect dog, she smiled. I asked if she wanted to see it, she looked confused. I then handed her the piece of paper with the dog drawing face up. She smiled. I told her to flip to the other side and explained that it was a list for a scavenger hunt. Scavenger hunts are a great way to have fun and go into a juvenile mode. We were laughing as she did her best to find each item on the list. The hunt took almost all the way to the train station to complete and was none stop fun for her.

There were a few other crucial moments during the scavenger hunt. One was a successful pull-push-pull. We had gotten used walking in arm on back position. I then asked her to teach me her dance moves right there on the side walk. When she refused, I said ‘fine’ in a playing voice and completely disengaged from physical contact. She immediately tried to reinitiate contact. Also, towards the end of the walk we were talking about places we go for fun and I asked her about beaches. She said she didn’t care for beaches and accused me of only likely them for cute girls. I replied ‘no I like them for the sun, friends, and water. Is hot guys all you think about when you go to beaches?” She forced a no through her laughs. Then I said, “Seriously, how can you not like beaches”. She said she just didn’t. “Hold on, we are going to a beach right now.” I then asked her to close her eyes and I went behind her and put my hands over her eyes. I then told her to imagine perfect white sand, some friends snacking on delicious food, me and her in front of perfect sky blue clear water with a full crisp sun reflecting off of it, the wind blowing in her hair [at this point I blew on her neck]. I then instructed she can open her eyes and asked, “now how is that not a perfect day?”

We got to the train station and she ran into a friend. They talked then I joined the convo. I did well with her friend, made her laugh, and it was obvious that she approved of my presence. Then she asked where I was from and HB8 jumped in that I was from California. The friend whispered something to HB8 and they giggled. It felt like it was a positive giggle in my favor. Anyway, HB8’s friend went through train gate leaving me and HB8. We kissed and then she went through the gate as well. I noticed as she was leaving she put the drawing of the dog in her purse. Great anchor.

Another note I wanted to add:

Some of the items I added to the scavenger hunt list weren't random. For example, one of the things I like to do is have girls 'model' by putting on a guffy hat from a store. So rather than leaving it to chance or looking for a store before hand, I have them do the work. If you do a scavenger hunt, write hat as one of the items and she will have to find a hat and bamn, there's an oppertunity for her to model in a hat. Many oppertunities with this bit. It doesn't always work out. For example, one item on the list was a ball so that we could throw it around really quick, laugh, maybe even fake tackle her. She happened to see a mable ball spinning on a fountain. Oh well.
