Daygame on a HB 9. I went direct and made her laugh twice with cocky funny. We chatted for about 2 minutes. I started qualifying and she was preening her hair and stuff. I told her I would see her around and went in for the hug and she says
"I don't hug." She was smiling pretty hard, but she did seem serious. I went to give her I high five but left her hanging and said "I don't shake hands!" and gave her fist dap. We went our separate ways and she was still smiling.

1. Was the fact that I didn't try to Number close or Day 2 close a DLV?

2. I'm the one who decided to end the interaction and she was showing no sign of wanting to leave, even when I was Body Rocking. Do I have a chance if I see her again?

3. If I do have a chance of seeing her again, what STEPS should I take to close? I may only have 5-10 minutes.

I probably would not have left the target if she was digging me. If you went direct once with her and it worked then you can probably do it again if she isn't on the rag. Maybe "Hey it's misses cuddles!" to open and then regular game form there. This time close. maybe "I'm usually just in this for the hugs but for you I will make an exception... dinner tomorrow at 8?

Just one question.
Why did ya leave?

I'm glad you asked me that.

Well, this woman is the most beautiful women I've EVER approached. I thought that she wanted to leave and that she was only staying to be polite. Once I thought back on the interaction and analyzed it, I quickly realized that she had not only hooked, but was sending my IOIs.

I was confident enough to go direct and be cocky and funny, and NOW I am confident enough to Day2 close and number close.

Sorry to break it to you, but this girl was not in to you at all.

^ What makes you say that?

Let me break it down for you:

lol, let ME break it down for YOU:
I came here for help. If you are going to say something negative like that, it would help me if you told me why you feel that way and to offer some constructive criticism. If you asked a question, I would be more than happy to seriously help, rather than bluntly tell you that you are sadly mistaken.

Out of everyone that has replied, you're the ONLY one who feels this way. If anyone else reads agrees with Brah, please let me know and OFFER ME SOME ADVICE. Thanks guys.

Wait a second Brah, I think we have a misunderstanding!

I'm the one who said "I don't shake hands" After I said that, I gave her fist dap, seh gave me fist dap back and was smiling.

I approached a group of 3. There were 2 girls and 1 male. I was a little tipsy at the time, so I'm not sure why hugs came in to the equation, I think I asked their names and when they gave them I said "We're friends now." And hugged her friend. This one girl said "She doesn't do hugs."
So I saw that as a challenge, and asked why.
"She said she only hugged people she'd have sex with."

So I was thinking. Challenge accepted.
To do this, I was running on improv.
I said "Your loss then," and gestured to hug the guy, who didnt look like a PUA, more of a friend-zone guy. And made a joke out of it all, she was the only one I didnt hug
I said something like "See, your really missing out, cos I'm a great hugger."

Then boom. I got to hug her, and stupidly said.
"You hugged me, does that mean you'll have sex with me?"

But anyway, after that I did some kino, touching the gay PEACE symbol necklace above her breasts, and some other.
long story short, I took on the no hug challenge and come out of it with a number, and she was couldn't stop kissing me all night.

I'm not sure how I did it, mainly improv, but see if my story helps OP.

Thanks for the example Crazy Jester!

So wait, that was a test? What are some ways I can past the "I don't hug." test when no one else is around?

What a relief! All that hugging that gals do kind of creeps me out. It's a constant reminder that you're excluded from their social circle. Well unless of course you're not. Anyways send that gal my way if you don't like her. I'm down with no hugging.
