I just got back from a run in one of my favourite canyons, and it was quite an interesting experience. At the end of the trail there's a small, cool cove with a nice wading pool and waterfall, and a stone perch that sits over the entire scene. There were several groups of people already present when I arrived at the cove, including a group of three girls, HB-chinese, HB-latina, and HB-kiwi.

I was relaxing in my usually seat on the stone perch when HB-chinese starts climbing up the rock near me. The perch is small, so if two people sit up on it they have to be quite close to each other. Big IOI.

"Hi there! What's your name?" I said enthusiastically. She looked up, her eyes hidden behind dark aviators too large for her face, and she smiled hugely. "Jeanine" she replied. I introduced myself, and we shook hands. Then I helped her up to a more comfortable spot on the perch.

I made some simple and suggestive small talk when HB-latina down below called out. She wanted to take a picture. I began posing along with HB-chinese, just assuming I was in the group and in on the photo. HB-latina and HB-kiwi loved this and started laughing.

Then, HB-latina takes off her top (she's got this stringy little black bikini top on) and climbs up to the perch with us. Jealousy! I used this to my advantage. I bust HB-chinese for not introducing me to her friend and the girls are giggling like mad. I decided I liked HB-chinese the best of the two, so she'd be my target. Kiwi was shy and looking up at us from below. Tried to include her in the fun, but she was too scared to climb up. Oh well!

I begin firing off questions, getting the two girls to qualify themselves. Most of my questions were things I was thinking about through the day, and which were important to me. Venus transitioning across the sun - had they seen it? What would you do with a choice of vacation locales? Where they came from and what places they had vacationed. I casually worked a little sexuality into each thread, and both girls were qualifying themselves like crazy trying to win my approval. I antagonized HB-chinese just a bit more than HB-latina just so I could get her blood up, and it worked. "Is she always this bratty?" I asked HB-latina, and she nodded. HB-chinese turned beet red and wailed like a bird. We laughed at her.

Kino was an interesting challenge. We three were close, but the space was a little confined so it was difficult to manoeuver. However I helped HB-latina up onto the perch so I was in between them, and that's when the mad kino began. I was getting touched by both girls from both sides: legs, arms, hair, and a "breast baste" when HB-latina shifted to adjust her bikini top. I touched their legs with mine, and touched them with my hands whenever I made significant points or playfully chastised them

The two girls' buying temperatures were through the roof, and so I decided to cut it off right there. "All right ladies, I've gotta jet. I've got to get home and make dinner." "Aww, no!" they cooed in unison. I tell them to swap numbers with me so they can send me the photos they had taken. The three of us exchange numbers.

Then HB-chinese decides she wants me to "show her the second waterfall I mentioned before" real quick. I tell HB-latina and HB-kiwi I'll borrow her for a second and let her come right back. They smile and girl-code. HB-chinese and I set out back down the trail a short ways, away from the hustle of the picnicking groups. This is where I kino-escalate like a beast. Holding her hand as she crosses the stream, touching the small of her back and urging her forward as we walk past low-hanging foliage, and finally, picking her up by the waist from a high rock and setting her down in front of me. We keep eye contact as I lower her. She comes down right on top of my feet and stays there...clever_girl.jpg. BAM, make-out in the cool shadow of the cliff. We were there for a good minute or so, just enjoying the sound of the water, and our breath.

"Call me" I say, flash her a smile, and I turn around and take off down the trail.

I just got a text from her as I was writing this field report. She wants to see me again soon.

What did I learn from this? A few things.

1) Be friendly with everyone. I didn't come to the canyon with the intention of meeting people, but I remained open to the experience. I smiled and greeted every person I ran past, and I helped every new person with navigating the canyon. When people are out in public, they don't expect to meet friendly strangers who treat them like old friends. This gives you the ability to make people feel good when they're not expecting it, and that's a powerful ability to have.

2) Smile early, and touch early. I've always known this, and today's experience just reinforced it. Make the frame sexual, and make it yours. Leave them wondering what you're going to show them next.

3) Stay the hell out of your head,. Accept what's around you, and share the moment with the people near you. I was the meat in a girly-touch sandwich, and it would have been easy for me to get lost in the sensation, stop talking, and lose the frame. But I let the touch happen, accepted everything that was around me, and kept on talking. I think the fact that they were touching me and it didn't appear to phase me is what really spiked the attraction.

tl;dr -- Be friendly to EVERYONE. Do what you love and people will become interested in you. Always assume attraction and TAKE BOLD ACTION. If you fail, big deal. But if it hits, it REALLY HITS.
