I was walking home after a night on the town (and a night out on water) and was smiling as I was walking, when I hear a lady call out about the smile. I do a little turn and meet the set. f/f/m.

The girl, HB8, asked why i was smiling. I said because its good to smile and dont see enough people doing it. she agreed.

I exchanged names with the group and have a playful conversation with them in which she gives her name, age and her want to stay out and find a male. Her friends (who are partners) want to leave as the other HB is drunk. We have a small 5 minute conversation where I am both serious and teasing.

They eventually do get her to go with them, leaving as a group. I foolishly do not attempt to close and lose the set all together.

Although this particular set did not close, I felt it important to continue to express that you should smile. Always smile. If I had played my cards right, this girl would have picked me up on a smile. It would have been some story.
