Alright today I decided to step up my game a bit with this girl i've been chatting up at the gym for the past month or so. Up until now things have been going very slow. So far i have taken her out on an insta date to a restaurant, placed my arm around her, greet her with a kiss on the cheek, and made other random physical contact. Today I decided to try some of the techniques on her to practice and see how well the worked.

So this is how it went.

Saw her walk into the gym as I was heading toward the weights.

Her: "Hey long time no see"(hadnt seen her since this monday)
Ace: "Already missing me, its only been four days"
her: "Feels like its been longer, what are you doing"
Ace: "I'm going to work on some abs, just finished my cardio"
Her: "come to the bikes with me"
Ace: "Maybee in a bit I've got to leave at 4 today so i dont have much time, come do abs with me"
Her: "I've got to bike first"
Ace: "Ok"

I walk away do my abs and 15 minutes later walk over to her she starts biking at a slower rate

Her: "Finally done with your abs"
Ace: "Yeah I am about to work on my upper body"
Her: "Ohh, i still have 20 minnutes left"
Ace: "Well then maybe we can try something I learned in my social development class"

I play the ESP 1-10 game with her and she picks 10 and tells me its because she played it before and no one ever picks 10. I then then tell her that we should try something else and this time ask her if she has ever heard about the cube. She says she has, but when I press she says she cant remember it, I tell her that if she has already heard it then we might as well not do it. She pulls on me a little bit and asks me twice to do it so i comply. We go through it and she says that its not what she remember it was and in the end when I ask her how accurate she thought I was and she tells me "I guess we will never know" I ask her why and she just says the same thing. She then tells me that it was really cool and that she liked the experiment and gives me a high five. We go the front of the gym and its almost 4 so I tell her that im about leave. She follows me and a guy appoaches her.

Guy: you look fit try this fitness test(he has a device that tells you your fat%)
Her: I don't really want to (she looks at me)
Ace: Ill give it a try (I get 22%)
Guy: Wow I only got 15% yeah (trying to knock me down)
Her: Well whats that around your waist
Guy: Ohh its just a beer belly from back in the day
Ace: Back in the day, are you a child of the 80's (trying to get him to qualify)
Guy: No man Im only 29 Ive been working out alot (he qualifies)
Ace: Thats awesome keep it up (giving him my approval to be alpha)
Guy: Well I guess Ill see you late (stutters a bit while saying "well I guess'

We separate to do our individual workouts, when i come back to tell her that I am leaving i see another guy chatting her up initiating keno(poking her). I go up to them.

Dude: You know you have a really great smile (talking to the girl)
Her: Ohh thanks
Ace: Yeah she does, it reminds me of Katy perry.

I go into the whole C's and U's routine this time using Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. I get both of their attention's. I switch it up a bit and tell her that she has a smile people pay for. She blushes.

Ace: Well its 4:05 im leaving
Her: Ive got to go to hold up.
Ace: Ill see you when I get out of the locker.
Her: Maybee.

I walk out see her and put my arm on her shoulder. As we are walking to the bus i do the "i need a girls advice" routine. She really gets in the conversation. The bus comes and as I am leaving I look back and say. Hey I'm going to watch batlefield LA you should invite your friend(On monday she told me that her plans for the week was to hang out with a friend on friday so I new what was going on). She tells me "yeah we should totally hang out Ill invite her". I kiss her on the cheek and get on the bus.

While I was writting this she has now texted me this: I'm sorry but i am going to have to pass on the movie at 7:06

I have not texted her back. Im not sure if I should or shouldnt. Or what I should say if I did

The original reason why I needed advice was on the movie date deal. Im not sure what do to or how to handle it. If she brought her friend and I brought mine how should I play it. Im pretty sure her friend is hotter then she is and is the dominant of the two personalities(I saw her get picked up by her friend once). I was thinking that i should engage her friend into the relationship by bringing up the cube in this manner "Hey earlier today your friend and i tried this cube personality exercise do you want to try it" this way she feels like she is already apart of the relationship and I DHV to both by showing her friend that im cool, and showing her that I can blend in with her friends and I dont have to waste time asking fluff questions. My problem i suppose comes from A) what do I do durring the movie, B) if I want to go after the friend because she's hotter how should I go about this, and C) what are some effective ways to isolate a girl to phase shift.

Background: I first met her during her orientation, i wasn't in her class but she was a HB8 and the best looking in her class. She was sitting on the bench press so I went up to her and in a loud confident voice said

Ace: "Hey if you are not working out on it get off of it."
Her: "Im so sorry im new"
Ace: "Don't lie to me you knew exactly what you were doing"
Her: "No really Im sorry" while she gets off the bench
Ace: "why are you apologizing to me its not like I work here anyways"

She lets out a sigh of relief and begins to chuckle and hits my arm while saying

Her: "Ohhh, thats mean you were acting like you did"
Ace: "You're just gullible"
Her: "No im not"
Ace: "Well to tell you the truth I do work here"
Her: "really?"
Ace "See got you"
Her: "Now you're just messing with me" (she lets out a chuckle)

I then started fluffing a bit about the class and the gym(She told me she's been working out for a few years), I went to the bicycles and she followed we talked a bit more and when i got up to leave, I looked over my shoulder at her and said "I could learn a thing or two from you, whats your number", she gave it to me. Since then we've been working out together pretty consistently. I couldn't drive at the time so I only took her on an instant date after the gym once to the Chinese restaurant across the street. I have invited her out 2 or 3 times, but each time she is doing something with friends. Last weekend she invited me to visit her in her family's cabin, after i told her i was going to visit some cousins for a shamrock party in the same area. I wasn't allowed to borrow my parents car(yeah being a poor college student sucks some times) so I ended up not going. When I saw her this past Monday she tried holding it over me(I could tell she was mad that i didn't go an IOI in my opinion). I shrugged it off and just told her that i was still drunk the next day and reversed her guilt trip onto her by saying that she wanted me to get hurt drunk driving.

Dear God that is long... Sorry and, if I dont get any responses i will know why lol.

Alright final field report (I think I might just start a journal like some of the other peeps.

So i texted her back an hour later "Good my car was already packed so you would have needed a ride "

Instantly she text's me back: Car?? U drunk again... heheheMaybe if ur lucky, next time

I decided not to send a follow up msg

I went to the mall with my friends and I decided to warm up a bit and try some material. I was a bit nervous so I decided to open on a no pressure pair a girl with guy friend. They were close to each other but they weren't making any type of physical contact. They walked up behind us in line with 24 pack.

Ace: Ready to party
Dude: You bet
Ace: Hey I saw this thing on TV the other day its called ESP, ever hear of it?
Dude: Yeah
Ace: Do you believe in that type of stuff.
Dude: Yeah its real
Ace: What about you? (engaging the girl)
Girl: No not really
Ace: Well since you dont believe lets try an experiment, think of a number between 1 and 10
Girl: Ok
Ace: Tell him your number

She tells him

Ace: Alright, hmmm... your number is... 7
Her: Awe.. no its 4
Ace: I dont believe in that type of shit anyways

The girl chuckles, and the clerk calls me next, after I pay as I begin to walk away the girl says "it was nice talking to you" and the dude concurred.

After having built some confidence, as I walk back to my car I see and HB7 with an older HB5(mother daughter combo perhaps). I approach and talk to the older girl.

Ace: Excuse me, do you mind if I ask you a question
HB5: No, go ahead
Ace:Have you ever heard of ESP?
HB5: No (she looks at the HB7)
HB7: No
Ace: Its like mind reading, do you believe in it
HB5: No
Ace: Lets try an experiment I saw on TV to see if it works (I put my hands facing out)
HB5: Try it with her
HB7: (She puts out her hands and looks at HB5)
Ace: Think of a number between one and 10 nod when you have it
HB7: (I notice she looks up and to the right and then nods her head)
Ace: Now tell it to her
HB7: (she wispers it in her friend/moms ear)
Ace: 7
HB7: No...
Ace: what was your number?
HB7: 4

I look at my friend and we both yell out loud when we hear that because 4 out of the 5 people I tried this with said 4. Complete bullshit, I know it doesnt matter if they get it wrong but 7 has not worked at all. I look at them and they are smiling and say "thank you but I must go" and walk away.

I suppose I should have tried the best friends routine or since they were smiling the c's and u's routine but I didn't think of it at the time, and actually had to go to get to the movie.

We get to the movie theater and my friend uses the restroom. While I wait I spot an HB8 and an HB4 from behind looking at a movie poster for sucker punch. I decided to walk to the left and approach from the side. I come in from the side with the HB4 close to me but with her back slighty pivoted away from me. The HB8 notices me so I decide to jump in.

Ace: Have you seen this movie yet?
HB8: No
Ace: I head that the action is good but the story was only ok.
HB8: I think the poster looks pretty cool.
Ace: Do you mind if I ask you a question?
HB8: Yes.
Ace: Yes.
HB8: No. Go ahead.
Ace: Well my friend is in a snag and im not sure what to tell him. What would you do if you found a box full of pictures of your boyfriend with his ex.
HB8: ohh man...
HB4: Burn them.
Ace: Thats exactly what she did (I let out a chuckle, while the HB4 smirks)

The HB8 gets really into the questions and starts going around in circles, we maintain eye contact throughout. Eventually after about minnutes of the HB8 going around in circles I cut her off and say "well looks like my friends are here thanks for the advice" They wave me off.

I feel like I had a big missed opportunity here. The HB8 was really entertained by the question but the HB4 for the most part just stared between us. I suppose I should have tossed in a "is she always this quiet" to get a response. I also feel like when I asked them about the pictures I should have been like " wait first of all do you have a boyfriend" this way I learn how available they are while making them qualify themselves. I think what I should have done is instead of leaving go into the c's and u's smiles or tried "you know I feel like you can learn alot about people from how they answer questions have you ever heard of this social experiment called the box"(just change the name up so they dont recognize it) From her no matter what she says I would be like "well I have to go Ill tell you about it another time... (stare at her for a moment) if she doesn't offer her phone number I would say "Ill call you some time whats your number".

Please tell me what you think.

now that you've field tested it... do you believe in ESP?
Totally my type. A smart girl
I guess it was her way to beg you to take her number
I believe you shouldn't over think human interactions

Keep up the good work!
