"Mr. Plow, that's my name..."

Earlier this morning I failed to take action while out at lunch with some co-workers (STUNNING redhead that passed by not once but TWICE by our outside dining table) so I knew I had to keep my eyes peeled for my Girl of the Day. She turned up on the campus of UCLA at Covel Commons (a study hall on-campus), of all places.

We were just wrapping up our Santa Monica Lair Lounge meeting this evening and I was walking back from the bathroom and some fresh air (those meeting rooms were never designed for 20+ guys to be sitting around in at once) when I noticed this cute-as-a-button Chinese girl standing in the doorway of the opposite study room visiting a friend of hers (judging from their conversation). I got solid EC from her and I knew I had to meet her.

I played it cool for a bit and waited until she was done talking with her friend. Right as she was walking away and turning the corner of the hallway I sprinted after her.

I got her attention and opened her Direct. She was on her way back to studying for a Math final, so I tried to establish some Rapport ASAP. Went for an early number close, to which she said she had a BF. I blew right by that first objection and switched topics. I don't know if she stayed and talked with me because she was interested in me in some way or out of politeness but in the end it doesn't matter-- I stayed and continued the conversation with her despite multiple BF objections and the time constraint. We eventually part ways (sans contact info) but I still took the lesson from this which is far more important to me:

• Sometimes "No" means "Not yet" (depending on context)
• Don't listen to a girl's words, listen to her actions/body
• Don't just give up on the first sign of resistance, go as far as you can take it
