Hi, i'm new to the game but I've done pretty well over the years normally when i've tried.
Basically, through some friends i know a working HBO actress, easily a '10'. we're not 'friends' as such, i've only met her a couple of times because she lives in LA now and i live in London but we're cool when we do meet. in a couple of weeks i have the opportunity to go to a party at our mutual friends place, she'll be there and i was considering gaming her. we've actually got a lot in common so that should go in my favour and i'm the type of guy she normally goes for- tall, stocky, stubble and i'm a few years older than her. Logistics could be a problem, the party is about a hundred miles from where i live and i'm not sure where she's staying, if she's staying with her parents or friends while she's over here. i'm not sure if i should spring for a hotel room or instead go for a day two straight away. other than that, I'm just wondering if:

A) is it gonna be harder because she's famous?
B)should I even bother?
C)How to go about it, ie; should i play on our mutal interests and ignore the fact that she's famous?

any other suggestions are most welcome!!

cheers
Joe.

Disregard any thought of her being "better" than you or that she could possibly think she's better, for all you know, she's yearning for people to treat her like a human, not a celebrity. Since you knew her in the past, do you know of any funny, embarrassing stories about her to remind you that she's human? Maybe think about that. Despite that, don't disregard her achievements, but don't go gushing about them ("OMG, I love that show!!!"). Be cool about it if her career comes up with comments such as, "Nice.", or ,"That's awesome." (doesn't have to be those exact words, that's just how I tend to talk) but in a mildly enthused tone like you talk to celebrities all the time.

Quick sidenote regarding the above: Have you seen Neil Strauss' interview on Jay Leno with Jessica Alba at his side? There's this one part where he obviously appealed to Alba's human side. Look it up and see how he pulled a can opener move on her, to get her to qualify herself.

Anyway, yes, you should bother, in my opinion. You can't predict the future. You don't know if she's changed for the better or worse, in respect to her being more susceptible to your new-found skills/techniques, so the only way to find out is to try. Maybe if she was in Hollywood, she might have more leverage, but she'll be in your world. Do it.

Lastly, I'm not big on negs, but in this case, it might come in handy to have one up your sleeve or to come up with one relevant when you meet. Just have it locked and loaded, because you may just gather that Hollywood has gotten to her head, and you'll have something to bring her back to reality. You may not even need the neg if you do have a funny/embarrassing story about her to bring up (nothing too harsh), to which she may then try to save face by qualifying herself to you or, at best, she could laugh about it and now you're back to the old days before she was famous.

hi, thanks for your reply. i've been thinking about this quite a bit actually. my plan was to go along with her as a 'normal' person as such. the shows she's been in and the dude that she hangs around with are all very alpha male types, chisled jaw, six pack, hey look at me i'm an actor types. she hasn't dated any of them (as far as I know) so i'm guessing she's used to that 'world'. i was going to go in as old friends kind of thing, not really mention the acting thing or at the very least not be 'amazed' by it or whatever. i'm in that industry too (but not as successful as her) so it's not really a big deal to me. i'm kind of pre qualified through our mutual friends, especially one of them, and it helps that he's VERY touchy feely, almost on a camp level. if i go in for the hug opener with her and escalate kino right away but still be playng it cool i think that could work.
basically my target comes across as very prim and proper but i know that she has a wild side. well, she used to have anyway.
also, once i get interest, should i talk about her sister? her sister is also an actress and doing pretty well for herself at the moment. if i talked about her, would it make my target jealous enough to qualify herself? or would that be weird/risky?

my thinking is at the end of the day i don't have anything to lose. if it goes badly i don't have to see her again because of the distance but if it goes well i know i have at least two more opportunities to see her again while she's over here.

cheers

joe.

I would bring the sister up in the convos for sure. Even make it seem if even a little that you're slightly more interested in the sister than her.

Yes to all 3 questions

first i would love a pm on who this person actually is. Is she really famous or just a chick that's been in a few scenes?

second (which should actually be first, lol) you are going to fail because you are thinking waaaay to hard about what to say and putting too much on meeting her at this party. You apparently already know her so think less about gaming techniques. That's more for meeting strangers in a various situations. You can do youself a huge favor by getting in touch with her before she even arrives and making sure you setup a meet. If you are dead set on the party then make sure she knows you are coming and gauge her eagerness to spend time with you there. that way you will know the logistics and lay the ground work before day happens. Otherwise, the slightest thing can through off your whole game plan and you will be just another afc at the party. If you play your cards right you might even be able to take her to the party.

Don't base the whole fucking night on getting with this one chick because if you do you will be devastated if it doesn't happen judging by how het up you're getting over the whole thing already. Seems to me you're hardly in the same city at the same time as her and this 100 mile drive is another upheaval for you. Have it in your head that there are other girls at the party who could and probably will attract you. I'd book a room in a hotel as well so that at least you have somewhere to stay if it comes to that.
