A bit of Background

Getting the number isn't the interesting part, how I went about doing it is and what I learned about my brain! I'm not sure what exactly happened but it was very similar to the effects of alcohol. In the end I learned there are two personalities to me. Both are me (no it's not dissociative identity disorder), it's just I've relied on one part of my 'strenghts' more than the other. If it helps, I'm very analytical, I have to be, since I'm studying to be a aerospace engineer (rocket scientist), that's beside the point.

Anyways, the meeting again at Supreme Court was serendipitous. None of it was planned or premediated. Me and two other guys are hanging out and talking about trivial things. Now I think, prior to meeting women and overcoming shyness, is to have a 'practice run' with a good friend. Get comfortable with talking and have a very deep conversation. This helps, as you remove any inhibitions about saying something stupid and secondly it warms you to the flow of how a conversation should be, so when you do engage a girl you are ready.

Continuing on, as she comes up, she sits near me (a good sign) but this time I felt no awkwardness at all. Prior to all our lunch meetings, I don't talk to anyone and walk about 5 mins to get to the rendevous point so just being near her makes me awkward. That didn't happen today, I was very comfortable. But the group quickly moved to another spot where a bit of athletic prowess was needed. I quickly mounted and climbed a ledge. And the rest of the group climbs up and it's her turn. As she begins to do climb, I get to see her panties (cute). And this is where the second personality kicks in.

Now I'm not sure what mechanisms were involved or what my brain chemistry did, but the 'primitive' lower brain kicked in. It's the lizard part of your brain, the one that takes risks and is very awesome! Anyways that kicks in, and usually in many social settings I've actively surpressed it. Yes you can do that! This time however, I didn't even bother, I just let my lizardself loose. He was so damn awesome, he sat beside her, very close, kept convos going, asked questions and her opinion and quickly got her comfortable. Eventually I found a topic about plans and being ditched on Wednesday. I wanted to see the Boston vs Vancouver game and how I didn't get to because my friend bailed on me. Mentioned the bar I was going to go at, which was incidently was the bar she went to. I responsed by saying, and this is why I need your number. I handed her my phone and the deed was done! I didn't give her mine (I think I was very happy about getting it) but I did text her later saying "I forgot about it and here it is".

So, seddit, take what you can from this post. The things to learn are: warm up before the actual 'event'. And if you can find someway to arose yourself, get aroused, and when your primitive brain wants to take control... just let it. Again, this is might be useful when you can't have or don't have access to alcohol to make you 'smoother'.

Edit: And this just in. Got an email from my friend about having drinks tonight downtown, where according to him, she might show up. Either way I'm going tonight! (hopefully it all works out and we hang out and I apply some kino).

And it's not a bar, but swing dancing... not sure if this might help or not, but will approach this as an awesome thing, because I get to break the touch barrier. And not sure if she'll be there but good place to flex my social muscle(or lack off)!

So the swing dance is not happening, straight up clubbing! Not sure what to expect as it's my first time...
