Hitting you guys from all angles this week.

Spent some time today, after a successful opening with a HB6 who gave a few verbal IOIs and a ten minute convo (didn't want the nclose), pushing my luck on random facebook HBs that I've added from the bars. I haven't talked to these girls in forever, but made sure not to reference that. I find it best to not allude to your lack of communication. Opened all one sets with a situational question, such as do you know the name of that person we sat with? Immediately pushing with an explanation laced with some DHVs. It felt odd to stack multiple topics, if I had a single question for the lady, so instead I threaded topics in as subtly as possible (avoiding showing the need to talk). Surprisingly, the convos lasted a good fifteen minutes, with some lols and bantering.

Things that helped: Typing on a cellphone (Makes me keep responses short and spreads out the time in between responses). Using soft questions that don't suggest a romantic interest. Purely information gathering.

Things to improve: Better threading or transitioning. Not quite sure how I could do that. Advice would be great. Dealing with the shit test. I avoided it, and pretended like I skipped over that response. Which, I think keeps me neutral. Responding however, could really bump my confidence in her eyes.
