| A long time ago, there was this lesbian who trained at my gym who had this smoking hot girlfriend, a Tibetan HB9. I added both of them on Facebook but never hung out with either of them or anything. Fast forward a few years later, the HB9 broke up with the lesbian. The HB9 and I somehow started chatting regularly with each others through Facebook and talk about hanging out again. We send some playful flirty texts but she doesn't live far and we never arranged anything.
Last night, On my way to a friend's birthday party, I get a random text from her as I am walking to my motorcycle at 1130p. She says she's in Lush Lounge, which is a few blocks away from where I was at. How convenient! I decide to drop by and say hi and a drink before heading to the friend's birthday party, which is also pretty close to where I was at.
I ride over there and when I meet her, she's looking smoking hot like she was a few years ago, and I give her a kiss on the cheek, something I've never did with her before. (Side note: one thing useful that I've learned from pickup is always kiss a girl on the cheek when saying hi. Not only does it give a headstart in kino escalation, girls in the bar or club will perceive you as a confident, kissy guy).
She hugs me and we walk in, and she introduces me to her boyfriend. Oh boy, I didn't know about him. Then after a brief introduction, we walk to the bar and I get her to buy me a huge kamikaze shot and a gin-tonic (compliance test). We start talking for about ten minutes, then her boyfriend comes in, very pissed, saying "hey! We need to go to the next bar, now!" She replies "my friend just got here, can we wait til he finishes his drink?" Her boyfriend is super drunk and pissed, then leaves, saying "well, if you want to stay here with your FRIEND, then you can, but I'll be in the next bar."
She says "He's always getting jealous when I invite my guy friends. But, I don't get jealous when he hangs out with his female friends." Things are looking good for me at this point. OK, it's time for me to build my Straw Man. "Hey, guys get stressed sometimes. Maybe he had a bad day." She replies, "that's not it. You know, we've been together for two years and lately, he's been getting jealous of me hanging out with my guy friends. That's why I broke up with my previous girlfriend. She was too controlling and got really jealous."
Out of nowhere, he comes back barging in.
"Hey, I said let's go!"
"You said you'll wait for me! That was only like two minutes ago! Can't you wait til my friend finishes his drink? He has to leave to Novela to visit his friends soon anyways!" Feeling tension building up, I give it a classic Mystery Method style and disarm my obstacle.
"Hi, sir. How was a day? Stressed at work?"
"Uh, no I didn't work."
"Ran some errands? It's a nice day to do so!"
"Yeah, I did! So, what do you do?"
Long story short, he becomes disarmed and actualy invites me to his BBQ on Sunday. As I continue DHVing to him, his girlfriend, my target, puts her foot on my barstool and rubs my leg with her hand. He doesn't quite seem to notice. Then, I conclude with a time constraint (which is not a false time constraint, since I really have to leave to meet my friend). The HB9 then tells her boyfriend, "hey babe, why don't you wait for me at the next bar as I finish my conversation with my friend?" Seeing me as a non-threat this time, he happily complies, and leaves on a good note. "You know, I'm sorry he's like this." I continue building my Straw Man. "Don't worry, boys will be boys!" She kisses me on the cheek then I leave.
When I get home, she sends me a bunch of texts at about 1am.
"Let's hang out without him next time. I'm so embarrassed and I don't know what to do. I'm sorry. I won't bring him next time."
"Don't stress too much about it. Guys act like that all the time. Nothing new to me."
"I know, but still, when I hang out with his girl friends I don't act like that and he should respect my friends."
"Men aren't as strong minded as women. I do the same way with my gfs and I'm trying to work on it. We are very insecure."
"I'm so embarrased cuz I have been talking about you with him all the time and he was cool about it. Tonight was just a hot mess, not cool. I'm done, he's out for sure."
At this point, I don't trust her "breakup," since she's probably super drunk, especially if she's texting me at 1am. So I continue defending him. "Don't blame him for his insecurity. You know already that I am a pretty smooth cat, LOL. Sleep on it, then let's talk about this again in the morning."
"Nite sweetie."
"Good night <3"
"nite babe."
How did I do? I was thinking about giving her some time to think then hanging out w/ her again sometime later next week.
