On monday I got off of work and went to a local eatery. With sarging on my mind as I walked in, I took a quick glance at the area. It was a rather target poor environment, but I was still hungry and the girl at the cashier counter was really hot(HB8), so I picked her out. I opened with how getting this burrito was absolutely making my day, and moved to the bar. I was ignoring her and befriending several of the male staff and well as other bar patrons. While doing this I noticed her flashing me tons of IOI's as I was getting along with my male surroundings. I got a newspaper nearby and began doing the crossword with some of the staff. At this point my target walked by, checking out the action, and I asked her why she wasn't already helping us with the crossword(my initial neg). She joined, happy to be involved in the group. I continued to engage the group, but started giving her IOI's as a reward for her staying close to me and giving me continued eye contact. After about 20 minutes of friendly banter, she was getting off of work, and as she was leaving I said, "Oh, your just going to leave and not even give me your name?" She looked a little embarassed and introduced herself. She told me to stop by anytime, she was there a lot. So I let her go(rather than push my luck, also cause I'm still pretty nervous during sarges), and decided to come back today after work.

Sure enough, she was working again, and as I came in, I noticed her look at me and smile. I knew I was in, but I didn't want to be overly interested, so I came up, smiled, and said "Hey, look, its my favorite employee!" She smiled again and we briefly chitchatted while I got my food. I sat at the bar and read the paper, as she was busier today. Every time she had a free minute she was coming over and looking to me to start talking to her. Sometimes I did, sometimes I didn't, but all in all it was more friendly banter. I felt myself running out of material, so I began to pack up. I went out to have a cigarette, without even mustering up the courage to ask for her number. I felt like a failure. I lucked out however, as she was coming out to take out the trash, and I was able to talk to her again, this time asking her out on friday, whereas she said yes and gave me her number.

Booyah. Comments and critique please.

You were really genuine the whole time. It was friendly and crosswords will get you further along than 3 canned routines. Pick up doesn't span across your entire life, it's simply the first 10-20 minutes of interaction. When you've run out of material, just talk about your life or ask about hers. Fluff isn't always fluff, it's a real conversation.

Don't plan routines for every sec Friday. Have a few fun stories about your life, and have a good time.
