So this is a very sticky mid game situation I'm having right now. I usually go to this club in NYC. I'm kinda famous with the girls there. I'm pretty popular, but not in the sense of a regular customer/mark. Just as a very cool and nice guy who respects the girls and always put a smile on their faces. Usually being a nice guy is not the best thing for PUA, but in the case of a stripper where she has to deal with tons of arseholes and dicks every night, it's best you play a bit nicer and show a little caring side. Not too much to make them think they can exploit that, just a little to distinguish yourself from those arses. So I met his GORGEOUS blonde (I mean she's SO hot that I would shag her all day if I can.) a few months ago. And I just saw her again last night. In most cases I usually don't remember faces, but I did found hers a little familiar. When she saw me the first time last night, she recognized me and appeared to be really happy to see me. She gave me a warm hug, very exited, and said that I good very good although I'm hardly dressed up. I can't exactly recall too much about her but I knew we had talked before and just let it flow. The conversation was brief as she had to be working but definitely going on well although I was really talking cuz I don't recall. I like that feeling. It makes me feel comfy. Then some time later, she bumped into me again, and we talked some more about insignificant stuff as we reminded each other of our names (real names) again. She's always cheerful and smiling unlike a lot of those Russian girls who are always grumpy and depressed. I'm still not recalling too much. I think we didn't talk too much before anyway, and I couldn't even remember if I had her number last time. Then as she was about to get back to work, she kissed me on my lips, which is actually NOT allowed in that club. But she still did, and caught me off guard a little bit. It was more or less like a peck, but very soft and right on my lips. I think I might have kissed her before. I really don't remember. Then she said "We're still friends, alright?" I, still a little confused by the kiss, just said "yeah..." As she walked away, I was trying to recall more but couldn't remember anything. I looked through my phone for her number, but didn't find any. I store the girls numbers by their real names. Didn't hit. When I caught her alone again in the corner, I just walked up from behind, spin around to her front, smiled and held her face in my hands. As I leaned in for a kiss, she slightly turned away and said no as I kissed her cheek. She said she's not gonna do this again. She's grown up and doesn't want to get heartbroken again. I immediately realized that she felt something towards me before and was seriously let down. So instinctively I said "What happened baby? I didn't do that." as she was pulling away. She looked at me and said "but we are still friends. I need to work now." I said "Fine. We'll talk about this later." Weird moment there. I totally couldn't remember that! Most of the girls in the club are fake and only pretended to like the guys for the money. I never fell for that trap and the girls can see that so usually it's just one naughty kiss and that's it. Maybe that's what I did with her and not knowing it's real for her I think? After all, she didn't bring up the lap dance the whole night. I'm not a mean guy who plays with hearts. I respect girls who respects me. I just never thought this could happen in a strip club. But anyways, I did some quick thinking before I ran into her just finishing with a customer and dressing up a few moments later. She was putting her bra on and doing the hook behind her back. I leaned against the wall next to the couch she was sitting on, and asked her if she needs any help with that. She smiled and let me hook it up for her. I have to say it was a terrible idea because I'm never good at those hooks, but anyways, I knew I probably won't be able to do it properly so I just make it looked like I tried and took the chance to talk a bit. And after a few exchanges, I said that I wish I could do better with those little tricky hooks and left it for her to finish it. She did it in an instant, turned around, smiled and gave me a quick kiss on my lips again before taking off. I thought she liked it even though I failed to put it on for her because it looked like she was mad at me but deep down still wish that I like her in a way that's beyond the stripper-customer relationship, so she couldn't turn me down when I volunteered to help even though she can totally do it herself. That was the last interaction we had that night, and she had been busy all the time until I left. Didn't really say good night or ask for number. I'll probably be back to that club and see her next week. I figure I might want to take it slow because she was probably having very mixed up feelings towards me that I have totally no clue about. I plan to start building a little more rapport and connect a bit with her next time and wait for the right time to explain it to her that whatever she was thinking I did to hurt her was never intentional. Usually I would never bother to do that with a stripper but she was REALLY nice and totally gorgeous and I want to explore what might happen. I've been in steady relationship with strippers before. Most of them are nasty but a few of them like the ones I've been with are very nice and lovely and really loves you a lot. And she was totally like that. So all the stripper talk aside, any ideas upon what I should do next to at least get her put all the hurt away? Any rapport building strategy or anything that might be useful in this particular situation would be nice.

If you've read this all through, thanks very much for your patience. I know this is a long and shitty post but it would be really helpful.
