My night last night was looking pretty empty. I'm in college, I don't have a car, and I don't generally go for the bar scene. That's cool; I'm fine spending time by myself.

I remembered that I had gotten a gift card to Walmart in the mail from some kind of loyalty program my bank has, so I hopped on the ol' bicycle and rode over the peruse their selection of video games.

There is a restaurant close to this Walmart, and I decided to go there for dinner. No one likes eating alone, so I sent a text to the HB6 BFF of an HB7 I've been seeing.

I made a joke referencing the last time we hung out and said that I was going to this specific restaurant. I said if she wanted to join me to feel free, and closed with another joke. All in 160 characters.

I had seen this HB6 earlier in the day, and was not expecting her to say yes since we had already hung out, but two minutes later she responded and said she was up for it.

She showed up at Walmart thirty minutes later and we kept up a steady stream of conversation before heading to the restaurant.

I made every effort to be in state. Keeping up the conversation, making jokes, negging, simply being interesting.

Conversation lagged a bit when the meal arrived, but we were both pretty hungry. HB6 is underage (to drink, you pervs) and had mentioned earlier that she was wanting a beer. When we left the restaurant I suggested grabbing a six pack from somewhere and heading back to my place for some Netflix.

Once more she agreed, and we wound up back at my place. We split the beer and watched some great tv.

As I said, this is the BFF of someone I've been seeing. I chose not to escalate because of the resulting drama that would occur. So why is this an FR? Because I was putting seduction principles to work.

I didn't ask HB6's permission to spend time with her. I simply told her what I was doing and invited her along. I kept her laughing and made sure that we had a fun time. I then got her back to my place, and if she had not been enjoying herself she never would have agreed. I was not outcome oriented because there was no outcome at stake. Everything flowed pretty naturally.

Now the trick is to do this again when I'm in a situation where I can escalate.
