I came across this forum after a friend started telling me about PUA's and some of the strategies you guys use. Have to admit that I don't understand all of them but can certainly respect most (3 sec rule, etc.).

Long story short I was at a coffee shop tonight not expecting to meet anyone or pickup, as I'm always in coffee shops and never meet women. I'm reading the paper and notice an attractive (HB8?) girl sitting at the other end looking over and even smiling. This stuff never happens to me. I consider myself fairly good looking, but again this stuff never happens to me. So like a moron I look behind to see if any one else is there; there isn't so I try smiling back. The store starts to close up so I get up to leave and notice her standing too and still firing a few little smiles, so I let my testicles drop and walk over to introduce myself. I have no game and asked if she wanted to have coffee (while the shop was closing) she replied that she was actually on her way to meet up with another friend at that point. I countered saying I think that came out wrong on my part and what I meant was would you like to have coffee in general some time. She says that she just got out of a relationship and this is as we're both walking out the door. So at this point I'm really confused because why the smiling if she's not interested? I figure I have nothing to lose so I start to tell her how I normally see hot women like her but never take the chance and usually regret it for the rest of the day. That I finally thought I should try and hence why I'm talking to her. At this point she voluntarily gives me her phone number (wtf) and says we should do coffee sometime. I dial it into my phone so that she can have my number too, say it was nice meeting her and we part ways.

What was that all about? At first she smiles, then when I go over there she puts up barriers, and finally as I'm explaining myself she gives me her number? Do you guys think I should even bother calling her? I'm sorry for such a long post but stuff like this never happens and I'd really appreciate your thoughts.

maybe the barrier was a small test? to see if you would just back off right away?? either way, sounds like w/e you did with this particular hb. and yeah, why not call her sometime, what do you have to lose?

Thanks for the feedback! Reason why I'm unsure about calling is if she's going to be giving mixed signals again and if it will be a waste of time.
