Hey guys (and girls),
I'm new here. I'm all the way over in Sydney, Australia. If anyone works or lives in the city of Sydney, PM me and we'll organize a coffee if you're so inclined.
OK, so I'm pretty pissed off with myself. I should have picked up this gorgeous girl today. I should have - but I didn't. I'll make it a quick story.
I has having a coffee at this cafe in a large shopping center this morning. I was working on my blog and other things on my laptop. By chance, my mum was around there with my nephew. I told her to come by to have a coffee with me. I had my nephew in my lap, playing around with the little guy while Mum had her coffee.
In come these two gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous girls. Really classy things. They sat right behind my mum. Now here's the thing. My mum recognized one of them. She use to teach her how to drive. Mums a driving school teacher.
As mum was getting up to leave, she said hello to the girl, they kissed, the girl looked over to me - and I quickly looked down at my laptop. (bad move I know)
I was more in the line of sight of the other girl. Which really was the girl I wanted. We made eye contact a few times. But each time it wouldn't be a long look, I guess we both looked away. I had a chance.
Here comes the bad news. They finished their food, they got up, they paid, they left. I just didn't know what to do. And this is where I'd like some advice if you can.
- Should I have just made my way to their table as soon as mum left?
- Should I have kept eye contact and tried to get the girl to come sit on my table?
- Should I have chased after the girl after they paid and starting walking away? (lame I know)
I'll probably never see these girls again. Really frustrated that I didn't act on this one. I need to know what to do, because if I am ever in that same situation - I WILL NOT let it go down like that again.
Cheers
Not taking opportunities does suck and it is frustrating. But just make sure you take that emotion use it to push yourself into sets next time!
In this scenario, there were a lot of options available.
You could have gone over when your mum was talking to her student, and introduced yourself, and then talked to your target whilst she was talking with her student. Since it's a very special case where your mum is there, SUBcommunicating sexuality whilst having a polite chat would have been best, followed by saying "we should continue this another time" and getting her number.
You could have also waited until your mum left, gone over and asked the friend if it would be ok to borrow her friend for a sec, and then complimented the target directly.
OR, it's totally OK to run out of the shop, get in front of them (with a SMILE) and deliver a compliment to them. I do it all the time!
