Just got out of class and I have 45 minutes or so to grab some food before my next one. I usually eat alone during this period of time because A. I don't have a particularly large circle of friends and B. My friends who are on campus at this time are all in class.

Anyway, during this time I usually just plug in my headphones and read reddit on my smartphone while I eat. Today really didn't feel much different than any other to be honest except I was a little frustrated with myself as there's a cute girl in my previous class who I had worked up the courage to ask for her number last week after talking myself out of it every class for the couple weeks prior, although I feel I could have done so with more confidence than I did. In the end I gave her my number and said she'd text me but she didn't. I told myself I'd bring it up today but lost my courage and just pretended as if nothing had happened then entire class.

Back to the FR, I walk into my usually restaurant (more of a walk in/sit down fast food place) and spot a HB 7 at a table with a couple of her friends. Standing around waiting for my order to be called I reframe myself. I say to myself in my head something along the lines of "I'll probably never see these girls again and even if I do and I fuck up I don't care what they think of me."

Once my order is called I walk towards their table and say "Hey, I got thirty minutes till my next class starts and nobody to eat with. Mind if I grab a seat with you?" They all say yes with some enthusiasm.

I sat down and it wasn't the slightest bit awkward. For thirty minutes that we ate and then walked back to campus I maintained the frame that I was just going to enjoy myself and try to give value and honestly, I didn't feel a shred of nervousness the entire time. It was all very fun lightweight talking.

Overall, I feel like I failed a few shit tests, but I wasn't really thinking about it. I remember some hb8 walking by the table, one of the 3 girls saying "She's fucking hot" and the other two agreeing while I didn't say anything cause I wasn't exactly sure what to say. Not exactly sure whether or not this was a shit test.

Anyway, after we ate we all walked back to campus together. When we get to a point where we have to split directions I ask the hb7 for her number and she gave it to me with some very minor resistance.

tl;dr reframed myself after AFCing in my class, went to lunch and made my first cold approach and #closed it.
