I am interested in your opinion on how was his DELIVERY. I find it (like most do) that HOW you convey your point is much more important than WHAT you actually say. So, describe his body language and what you read from those sub-communications? I'm curious to know if it was the CONTENT or his MANNERISMS (e.g., his confident, humor, gaze, etc.) that got you interested.
I agree with you- body language is
very important. However, it's harder for me to remember and pick up on. The right body language can work wonders on a girl, but it works on a
subconscious level... that said, here's what I do remember:
-The way he started out: He didn't just dive into the question... he came to sit beside me, turned my way, and looked at me a good 10 seconds, and when I raised my eyebrows at him he started to smile a little and said "Are you confident enough....etc"
- At "Great! Me too! You go first." he had this huge grin on his face
- I believe his last line was very well played out: for "Well, I'll have to say that somehow" he looked me up and down, and then at "this dress you're wearing now look good" he touched the sleeve of my dress.
- Overall, he came off as being very confident. The conversation flowed really well, and, most importantly, he didn't look like he was in his head thinking about what to say to me next.
I know this doesn't do him justice, as I'm sure he may have done many other things to get me as enticed as I was, but I just don't remember/ didn't pick up on them.

I'm just curious about one more thing, do you think there is anything that this man could have done to get your number and more importantly taken you out on a date. I am talking about this in the context that you put it, that is, that you were going on vacation and could not go out with him soon. Basically, is there a way that he could have intrigued you to the point that you would have considered going out with him as soon as you were available?
It really did just come down to bad timing; had he known I was on vacation and that it was my last night, I think he would have played his cards differently. He wanted the date that next week- I think that's why he ended the conversation short: ("Anyway, I was just on my way out. This place is pretty dead, if you give me your number, I'll show you a better one next week"); Had he known ahead of time that I was not a local, I'm sure he would have played towards an fclose, not a #close, in which case I'm sure he would not have been "on his way out".

And I can bet the dude didn't feel one bit sad for not getting the number.
Right on, he really did play it cool the whole time. I had half a mind to go after him when he left; thankfully though, the other half was still functioning
