Alright, so I'm feeling much more like myself again. I have 30 days done on my reboot, and am feeling better now. I feel more alive most days, and feel more energy for the gym and stuff.
Went out to a lower-key bar about 2 nights ago, and saw a 2 set sitting at the bar. Took a seat nearest to them, and opened them with a simple Hello, how are you doing line, and then we began chatting. It was obvious the one closest to me was the dominant female, as when I asked her what she did, she gave some attitude and said she owned a restaurant downtown; I countered with, Oh, is it a family business...to which she had to concede that it is, and so I said, oh, that's still nice, to neg her just a tad and take her off her guard. I was really interested in the girl on her other side though, because she's an employee of the restaurant, and is also working PT with special needs people, and we really got along pretty well, for the limited amount of time we did talk. It was a difficult situation, because there was an older outgoing lady to my right about 4 stools away from me, that kept engaging me in conversation whenever there was a slight break in my talking to the set. I finally used this to my advantage, and engaged her in conversation, and then she felt she was a part of the group dynamic, and all of us began interacting, so there was not that same countering dynamic as before. However, now I did not get as much of a chance to talk to the girl on the end, whom I was interested in, so it did not turn out good. I did however find out where she worked, and we had a brief conversation (where there was lots of hard eye contact on both sides) and I could tell she was into me, and I showed her I was into her as well. The friend picked up on this, it seems, and initiated to leave with her, and she followed, and they were gone before I knew it.
So, today, I went to the restaurant to see if I could get a chance to talk with her a bit more, and it turned out to be a very high-class sit-down type of restaurant, and I didn't want to go in by myself. So, I arranged for a buddy and I to go on Friday. Then I'm walking back to my car, and whoa! there's the girl! What are the odds? So, I stop and ask her wasn't she the one at the club, she says yes, she thought she recognized me, and I told her I checked out her restaurant, but didn't know it was a sit-down one; she said yes, and that she works during the weekdays mostly. I told her a buddy of mine and I are going to be coming in on Friday, and asked if she would be there, she said yes, so I left it with, ok, I'll see you on Friday. I decided not to go for the number close or anything because I had only talked with her for a max of 5 min total between the two meetings, and this one took me by surprise so much that I kind of fumbled through a lot of it, but did fairly well. So, a meet is setup to go in with a buddy to this restaurant on Friday and I'll engage her in a lot more conversation then; I've already told my buddy I'm into her, he already has a fiance' so I'm not worried about competition from him, and it should allow me to be able to talk to her more. The only thing that concerns me is the friend, if she is present, as well as if the place is busy, but I'll just use some false time constraints and get her to talk with me for a few minutes and grab her number or make a date on the spot.
I should also mention that after the 2 set left, and after the older lay left, a couple of older ladies (very attractive for their age...maybe 50's) came in, and I engaged them in conversation, and talked with them for probably 2 hrs or so, and they told me the "secret" to not paying for parking downtown, and not having to walk 15 min to do it. While I was out downtown today, I checked out a few things, and think I've found somewhere I can park that's like 2 min away and still not pay for parking, so just goes to show you that you should not just go out to get laid or gf's, it's really good to go out with the mindset of networking as well, as these ladies invited me to the bar they work at which is down the street, and told me to come to their ground hog day party there. Also one of them was talking about setting me up with her daughter possibly lol I don't know, I prefer to find my own women.
