I'm doing this on my phone so work with me here but I figured I'd share my experience.

Wednesday: (Relevant:I have 3 visible tattoos when I wear shorts and a T-shirt) I was getting off my shift and boarding the train to get back home. Didn't think much of it, honestly just wanted to go to sleep. Headphones in the entire time listen to some music, finally I arrive at my stop. I step onto the platform and as I'm walking to the escalator I feel a tap on my shoulder. I took out my headphones and turned around to hear:

"Is that a Medusa tattoo? Where'd you get it?"

Me: No, it's more of a living dead girl. And my buddy did it for free when he was trying to demonstrate his work for a shop. Do you have any?

Her: Yeah shows me a couple I want a Medusa tattoo, that's why I was asking, it looks good.

Me: Thanks.

Turns out were walking the same direction and so we talk for the way back until she has to turn onto a different street. The entire time I'm leading the conversation and making her laugh. (though not as much kino as I would have liked, woops) Find out she's going to get her masters in writing/teaching. Before we go our seperate ways instead of asking can I have your number I say What's your number? Let's go out sometime She also makes it known she has classes in the morning but at night she's free. Gives it to me and we're now going out for a bite to eat and hitting up a comedy club tonight, so I'll update this with how it goes.

Things to take from this: At anytime can you can approach or be approached, important to stay on your game. But also, don't want or crave it too much. I was honestly excited to go home and sleep. So relax, be laid back and they might even come to you.

Thursday: For the past week or two I've been dicking around on that Hot or Not app. My pictures aren't even that great. I've gotten a few hits here and there. Got one that day while I was playing around and had some time before work so I messaged her.

My opener there is usually a dumb joke. This time it was: I went drag racing once. Never knew it was so hard to run in heels. Within about 10 messages it turned sexual (very important). I asked her what her favorite things are and she said dogs and hickeys. So you can imagine what I focused on. Withing 20 messages I again just said What's your number? Better than the app She gave it to me. More flirty conversation ensues and I find out she's going to be out of state for the weekend but when we get back I let her know we're hanging out. She grabbed my snapchat and has been sending me provocative snapchats a bit yesterday.

Things to take from this: Escalate! Quickly! Get off the app/website/whatever ASAP. Transition to sexual/flirty conversation as quickly as you can. Also, don't give too many fucks. There's plenty of women online or off, don't put all your weight into one.

Friday: On my way to work, again, headphones in just rockin out wearing one of my favorite hats. It's multi neon colored snapback with an embroidered original Nintendo controller on it. As I'm walking this girl canvassing (think that's the right term) for some organization and she flags me down.

Her: How old are you? Did you ever even use the controller?

Me: Yeah I grew up on Nintendo/Super Nintendo....it was my dad's

Her: Your dad's?! laughs

She goes into her spiel for whatever she wants me to donate to and brings up the boko haram girls.

Me: Do you know what happened before the girls?

Her: Well...a lot happens all the time

Me: I mean with boko haram...

Her:....uh no

Me: There were close to 1000 boys burned/killed but no one was interested till 200 girls were kidnapped touch her shoulder You have a good day, I gotta get to work. Started to walk away

Her: Wait wait. I didn't know that, that's interesting and good you're informed!

We talk more and I poke fun at her from getting her news from (Huffington Post and jezebel). I steer it away from that stuff and we talk about everything from Doctor Who, to how she had a law degree, to her dad going from farmer to super pastor). Eventually I actually do have to go to work.

Me: I gotta run to work, what's your number so we can go out and talk about this more (shit eating grin, obviously I have no interest in it)

Her: Well, I'm not allowed to give my number out but...looks around and steps closer if anyone asks I'm giving you our website to check out. Gives me her number

Things to take from this: Go for it! Why the fuck not? She could have said no, and guess what? My day wouldn't have changed, would have been something I just laugh about with coworkers. Also, if you build attraction right then a woman will hamster herself into doing what you want. She's not supposed to give her number out but still did because I built that attraction. Point is, don't give too many fucks. I had no plan of getting a number originally but toward the end I figured, fuck it, why not?

Side note: Another tip seems to be that I've used always say What's your number? then I usually throw in let's [insert something to do] or because [semi bullshit reason]. Never ask if you can have their number. Fuck yes you can, you know you can, she knows you can all you need to know is what it is.

I will probably need to do some editing after work when I'm near a computer but hope you all enjoy.
