3rd Street Promenade again, this time a lil' better

You know, it's funny, you can miss the mark 99 times in a row but hitting it on the 100th try kind of makes the first 99 not mean so much. It's the one that hits that makes it all worthwhile.

I was doing my usual thing, eating lunch, flirting with random girls. I'm finding that opening in loud environments such as inside La Salsa isn't netting me any positive results. Went Direct on two different girls (one at Coffee Bean, one in La Salsa) and got the "I have a BF" line. It didn't really phase me much, but it can be disheartening all the same.

What makes the day worth it, though, is my "100th" which is this cute Japanese girl that was sitting inside the Starbucks connected to the Barnes & Noble. She was sitting at the window ledge that faces Wilshire Blvd. I saw her when I was passing by outside and I actually walked for a block before deciding to turn around and talk to her. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Went into Starbucks and went Direct with a relaxed vibe. Talked with her for a bit, got her to agree to a future day2 (scheduling an exact date was hard because she was studying for summer school finals and was flying back to Japan on the 30th of July), got the number and talked for a few more minutes. We'll see whether this pans out or not since time is working against me. I'm going to have to rely on some cute text messages to keep me in her memory. Still this counts as a "win" in my book. Go me!
