So on the 19th I went with my friend to the pet store so he can get a lizard. So we go in the pet store and 2 cute girls are working, one brown hair and the other a red head. Both are solid 7s imo. So we get to talking about the lizards, i used to own an iguana so I have limited info on them to make the convo go smoothly. So we shoot the shit for about 10 min then my friend finally picks his iguana he wants, we start getting the tank lights blah blah. While he's looking at the tanks I'm talking to the brown hair girl. She tells me they also have scorpions and tarantulas, so i go look at the display of the tarantula and I ask if she handles him. She laughed and said no then made a comment thats slipping my mind. I misunderstood her and clarified but it was wrong, she chuckled and smiled "Are you being cheeky with me?" so I meet her eyes and say "maybe?". So we flirt a little, i look up the type of iguana my friend got on youtube to see how large it'll get. She just comes up and says, "may I look" and gets REALLY close, like I literally could smell her hair she was right there. The freak in me said just put your nose there and sniff it like hannibal lecter but the better side said don't do it, and i listened.

So I ask if I can bring my dog in (it was a fish and lizard store) i wasnt sure how they were, she said "It is a pet store isnt it?" in a flirty manor . So I know i'll be in now because my dog get's all the girls, not kidding every cute girl wants to pet him and hug him "Ohh a beautiful dog, he has amazing color." Anyways just as I expected, she loved my dog petting him, she got on the floor to be at his eye level and hugged on him told me how much she loves my dog. So I said we're going on a hike later today, and she replied she loves to hike and where will we be going. At this time I know i have the perfect time to get a number. BUT sadly I was scrubbed out, not expecting to meet any cute girls I'd want to flirt with and get talking to. Like my hair is unkept, sweat pants, faded T shirt with an old jacket, not shaven, I was properly scrubbed out. So needless I didn't take this chance, and shortly after we left.

So I spent the rest of the day regretting it why didnt I just do it, what if, what if, what if, yadda yadda blah blah blah. So the next day 20th I have it in my head IM GETTING HER NUMBER. So I needed a reason to go back, calcium suppliment is my friend. Shower, shave the face brush the hair, nice white button up with a long sleeve under it, nice pair of jeans and my white and grey Nike 6.0. (hurt my feet but look nice for the dressed up/casual look). I head back to the store, my dog with me this time. They were both there again, asked what I was looking for the brown hair girl threw me a smile and I returned it. She was all over the dog again and talking to me. She asked how was the hike yesterday I said it was good, we're going again today. She said she wants to go hiking but cant find people who want to this saturday. Boom just how I wanted it to play out, I said "Well give me your number and you can come with Barrett (my dog) and I." she said that would be great, we exchanged numbers. I sent her a text so she could have mine.

So I text her asking around what time would she want to go out on our hike, no answer. waited till 7pm asked her how work was, no answer. so i left it alone, text her today the 21st, asked what days she works, no answer. So I waited about 4-5 hours to no response and said fuck it. Deleted her number, time to move on. If she texts me she that's cool but if not then oh well. I'm just glad I got her number. That's 1 and 99 more to go.

Any advice? I don't really have a problem getting their number, its how do I open it up after so? no texting and call? just wait for het to text/call me? Should I just have sniffed her hair like Hannibal Lecter?
