Environment: Big gym in Chicago

Encounter 1: I go to swim laps in the pool..I see a smokin ass girl swimming like shes part fuckin dolphin. This means shes in great shape! Good sign. I jump in the lane next to her and start my work out. When she stops to rest I make sure to stop as well so she notices me. But I pay no attention to her like shes invisible even though shes dripping wet in a tight ass suite! Finally we are both done with our workout just catching our breath. I look over and shes looking at me...so I say hi and we start to chat. I get a better look of her and shes even hotter then expected. I act like Im this big triathlete which isnt exactly true. She's really into me asking a million questions and even said "well this is where you will find me for swim training" like an open invitation to hang out. So I was like well if you wanna train together sometime I will get your number...meet me outside the locker room at 8pm. Unfortunately the stupid ass clock was broke so I was way late never saw her for a week.

Encounter 2: A week goes by Im pissed cause I f'd this all up. I finally run into her and act like shes a good friend that I haven't seen in a while...I was like "oh hey how are you doing...how was your weekend...bla bla bla" I explained laughing that the clock is broke in the locker room so I was too late to meet her. Who knows if she believed that shit. Then I asked if she will be in the pool later. She said she was. I said I might be at the pool...not acting desperate to talk to her. Of course I go to the pool planning on putting the mack down. At the pool I get in the lane next to her again and she seems interested in me, but throws me a neg! It catches me off guard and I blew it. She said its cheating because I wore fins which is right but some people wear them to warm up which I was doing. I didnt say jack-shit...and almost became submissive to her asking her for pointers...what the fuck was I thinking!??? (No alpha male there) She does ask all kinds of questions about me...we talk and talk. Rather then me cutting off the conversation with a "I must get back to my workout" or "quit distracting me I cant be friends with you anymore" would have been a perfect time for a neg or DHV. But, I just kept talking to her. She was finished so she ended the convo got out of the pool and went home. I never asked for the number.....never set another meeting time etc. FUUUUUUCKK I screwed this up....but I think its salvageable

I havent seen her since. I have been going to the gym as much as possible during that same time frame to hopefully catch her. I need to do some damage control and major gaming to make up for my screw ups.

When I see her what should I say / act like???

PLEASE ADVISE?????

Believe it or not man you've f'd up less than i have! (Actually have the same problem as you and really got to see what i was doing wrong).

Anyways, try to DHV in some way, show you have friends (female ones if you have any hotties who like to swim), and you'll probably bump into her and when you do, next make sure to BE THE ONE WHO FINISHES THE CONVO. This is also a side note to myself actually

but yeah, good luck son, think you'll have a better chance than me, the girl i'm gaming, i'm gaming on msn... That just isn't my ground man, my internet game sucks!
