2 weeks ago hb9 comes into the bar with her sister (I am bartending). They keep looking and smiling at me. They call me over 20 min later to close there tab, when I bring them there bill I say "your leaving and I didnt even get a chance to talk to you". HB9 then proceds to write her num on a napkin and says to call her. next day we talk through txt and I say that we should get together to talk a little more. She says "sure just let me know when you can pencil me in"
We talk a little over the next few days, I iniatiate the txt each time.
Then last weekend she comes into my bar with her sister and a guy. Did not come up to the bar or talk to me. However there are 30 some bars in 5 min walking distance of my work. She only stays for like 20 min, I was really busy so I couldnt go over to her and talk either. So i txt her yesterday and say
ME:"hey ur not a very good stalker, I saw u sat night and u dont even say hi. I was gonna talk to u but i was really busy n then u left"
hb9: haha im so sorry i didnt mean to be a weirdo.. i was trying to show a guy firend around.
ME: :no worries. i looked up and there u were then like a min later u were gone haha. What r u up to this weekend?
then nothing...
Any chance of recovering this? where did i go wrong? whats next?
I created an account at this forum just to respond to your thread. I know its a few days old, but dude...
1. She wrote down her number and said to call her. You didn't even ask for her number. This isn't even an IOI; she wanted you. So what happened? First off, you didn't call her. You text her. I know there is some good information on texting all over the internet, but I still feel that it is AFC. It is very possible that language developed for the sole purpose of seducing mates. Use your voice, powerfully. Every chance that you had to use your voice, you were either too busy or you text her. You said she was an HB9; she has options.
2. She says, "let me know when you can pencil me in." She was already DLVing, by assuming that you were too busy for her. Why was she thinking this? My guess is because you are a bartender, and generally bartenders have sick game and a lot of options. The bartenders I know are natural alphas. You don't even have to DHV because HBs are already at your bar talking to you, making all of the other HBs at the bar jealous.
3. You initiated the text each time. Either call her or let her initiate. Remember you have better things to do with your time then sitting at home wondering what she is doing. She needs to know this. Invite her into your world; don't try to come into hers.

"ME:"hey ur not a very good stalker, I saw u sat night and u dont even say hi. I was gonna talk to u but i was really busy n then u left"
hb9: haha im so sorry i didnt mean to be a weirdo.. i was trying to show a guy firend around.
ME: :no worries. i looked up and there u were then like a min later u were gone haha. What r u up to this weekend?"
Dude... this is a can of worms. Ok good opener, "hey ur not a very good stalker." But thats it! Then you start qualifying yourself to her, and giving her power over you. You accuse her of not saying hi to you (DLV), which was her goal by the way. She brought that guy in to show you that she has options and intentionally didn't say Hi. Don't even acknowledge that shit. You're better than that guy or she would be at home fucking him instead of dragging him into your bar to make you jealous. Then you made an excuse for not talking to her because you were too busy (DLV). How bout you didn't talk to her because you're not going to reward her for bringing random dudes into your bar and then not acknowledging you?
Then she apologizes, which was also intentional, because she wanted to remind you that she was with some other guy. And you REWARD her with "no worries. what r u up to this weekend?"
5. Within a few days, you went from her qualifying herself to you, to her realizing that she has power over you, and now you are qualifying yourself to her. This is your world man, and you are the bartender. You're the fucking WIZARD! You hold the keys to coolness. That entire bar is your frame, and you got cracked by an HB9 who was throwing her pussy at you.
6. You may be able to recover this, maybe. CALL HER! (not on a Friday or Saturday). If you get a voice mail good. Let her hear your voice. Speak slowly, calmly, and articulate yourself. And for christ sake, DHV. Don't ask her what she is doing. Tell her what you are doing, and welcome her to "tag along." Let her know that this is your world, and maybe, just maybe, you'll let her have a piece of that. If it doesn't work, which at this point, it may not. Then forget it. Leave her with this final power play, in attempt to recover lost ground. Don't text, don't call. That is your only option.
