Hi PUA's and fellow Newbies,

I was gaming a playful HB 9 bartender at my favorite bar. I had not met her yet because she works in the back and I rarely go out there. I have a question but first here is how it went.

* Lightly negged
* DHV with Mystery's Photographic Memory trick.
* DHV by doing the target and her HB friend's Numerology.
* Befriended target's HB friend when target was busy serving drinks.
* Did keno palm reading/hand holding across the bar and gently threw target's hands away.
* Got target to come over to my side of the bar, proceeded to keno her, got her to hug me and pushed her away while saying "That's enough. Don't be greedy." Her friend then asked me to pick her up which I did because I wanted to.
* Got between target's HB friend's boyfriend and this girl who were about to fight but despite my trying to talk the boyfriend down and all the girls he pissed off, they got kicked out when a girl tried to hit him while another tried to hit the target's HB friend. It's a DHV, leader of men plus protection of friends and people in general although I did it because it's instinct for me.
* Target's friend stayed but her boyfriend was allowed back in....befriended him and was invited to come see them for free drinks at their bar.
* Before I left, target and I did more hand holding across bar. I said "It might be cool to talk again." She agreed. I asked her for coffee, she grabbed the frame and by saying she has a rule that she will only give out her number after I come in to see her a few times. I attempted to get back control of the frame by telling her that I am selective too and I asked her for coffee instead of to a bar so I could get to know her better. I told her to ask two other bartenders, who I know, about me if she wants proof of what I'm like. She told me what nights she works and seemed happy about it.

I think I goofed by outright saying that "I am selective" and for her to ask a female bartender about me and a guy bartender who she knows. I feel like I let her get control of the frame, however the girl bartender she can ask about me really likes me a lot and the guy bartender she can ask thinks I'm cool too. My gut feeling is the target wants to build comfort with me before going out but she may just not want to give me her number or go out with me and was trying not to hurt my feelings. I am going to check out the Hired Guns section of the forum but since I'm still a newbie I thought I should post it here. My question is I could use some tips on reframing to get control back next time I see her and any other tips you have.
