| How it went, and why I am in trouble:
Went to the gym and saw HB10 working out, turns out she's working the desk. So I went up and asked her if she knows of any running groups in the area. She said no, but "I'll run with you" she says. She was being half-serious, but I called her on it and we are meeting on Saturday to run.
When I suggested it, she said "my boyfriend might not like it" and I said, "bring him along"
the problem is that I didn't actually do any pickup, it was very AFC. No DHVs or anything, and I was nervous (trying to to show it, but swallowing a lot, etc) because she was so absolutely hot. I disqualified myself my saying to 'bring her boyfriend' which by the way, she's not. it's just us and she's meeting me at my place. and i made fun of her when she had to think of my name, telling her that I wouldn't run with her if she forgot it, and she responded well with laughing and smiling.
To false disqualify myself further: she said that she's very slow, only jogs and only goes a few miles. and kept telling me how we won't be able to run together, etc. I told her that I'd just make fun of her if she can't keep up, and that "i just moved here and i'm really just looking to make friends" and she seemed very at ease when I said that (however, this might be a DLV because i'm showing that I don't have friends yet)
What do I do?
I have a day two with her, but i need to redeem myself, and if i have another AFC encounter, i'm sure i'll go on the 'friend' list. The main problem isn't that i don't know how to continue the pickup, it's just that I need to RECOVER from a bad AFC encounter. Any ideas for our running date? I'd really like to pull her after the run for a post-workout smoothie or something
*by the way, I live in a gay town, so pickup is a bit different. I wonder if I should DHV with preselection stories, or if i should let her wonder if I'm gay or not.
