I just wanted to toss out something I have been experiencing more lately, which highlights I think two key things to keep in mind as you work on your seduction / meet everybody skills. First, a brief recap.

First Recent Event

Several months ago I FB closed an HB8 at the Natural History Museum. I am beginning to agree that phone # close is much preferred to FB close - but that's a side topic. In the following days I tried to line up a date with HB8, but she didn't get back to me very promptly. Tried a second time a week later, she said she had lots of studying to do for a work exam, and to ask her again the following week. Tried a third time and decided to not pursue further.

So I've been getting into Yoga the last month, and the gym I go to has lots of classes, some are even outside of the Yoga genre. As I love dancing and figure it can't hurt to put myself in a modern dance class, I have started taking the dance sessions once a week. I am often the only guy in the room (30 women, 1 male instructor and myself). It's too early to see what the women think of me, though I have had two cougars come up to me and chat so far (one asked if I was the instructor on day 1, when I said no she informed me that it was an honest mistake, I had "the right physique").

So this week I roll into the dance class and start stretching. In walks a girl who makes me do a double-take. She's got a really attractive face... and a pretty good body (standards are extremely high in this environment, I'm surrounded by yoga bodies). But I can't place her. It takes me 30 minutes before I realize she is the HB8 from the History Museum. Hah! Bet she never expected to find a guy she knew here. I didn't approach, I'll see if she continues to attend and whether she acknowledges we know each other. I'm not going to chase her after the luke-warm shoulder she gave me earlier. Day Game Lesson: Don't be an ass (for no good reason) to women who you don't hook, you may see them again... At a minimum you don't want her gabbing with the ladies in the locker room about what a douche you are.

Second Recent Event

I was at Target picking up some sunscreen, heading to my friend's pool party. I'm at the end of an isle and I make eye contact with this attractive HB7.5 Latina in gym clothing (lycra, yum). She's with a child, maybe 4 years old. We hold eye contact and my brain says: "You know this woman, too bad you have been so busy meeting women lately - good luck recalling who she is sir." I move on to the next isle, think about it hard for a few seconds and then give up. Decide to make one more pass, smile and nod. So I head down her isle, eye contact, smile and nod - then walk to the checkout area.

She follows me.

I pick a checkout line (one of about 12).

She follows me.

Ok, time to introduce myself. So as I put the goods divider up behind my purchase, I turn to her and smile: "We have met before."

Her: "We HAVE. I was trying to place it..."

Commence us trying to figure out where we met. I really can't recall and don't want to open with "was it x club?" because she may not be a club girl. I approach lots of women in day game... So I use safer guesses (like where I work, where I attended university - these things demonstrate value while being honest in their attempt to figure out where we met).

Eventually she places it.

HB7.5: "We met at the car dealership!"

She immediately remembers quite a lot about our interaction, while I'm left struggling to catch up on who she was. I wonder whether she knew where we met all along, but didn't want to act like she remembered.

I reward her memory with some arm kino ("That's where we met! back of hand on upper arm"). And we chat while she checks out behind me (I hang around - obvious IOI to her). We chat while she walks to the exit, turns out she was laid off, then re-hired recently so she's been through quite a lot. I listen, relate... she stops her kart just outside the exit as she wants to keep talking.

I find a comfortable closing point, tell her "It was nice meeting you again, enjoy your weekend!" and she replies with similar, we go our ways.

Lesson: You will sometimes meet these women again, even in a giant city like Los Angeles. The IOI / attention you can get on a second meeting does great things for your self confidence. Be friendly to everybody, feel free to flirt lightly - they enjoy the attention also. These things snowball. The more women you meet, the more frequently you discover them again.

TL;DR; Read the Lessons in bold.
