FR: Woman on the Treadmill

[FreeVerse]

This FR consist of Planing things out, Getting her to show her value (I don't mean DHV or DLV,) blanking out, steering conversations and more.

Context: Day Game (even though it's night)
Location: Gym
Time: 11 pm (around that time)

I'm walking down th stairs and I see this lady enter the gym, I look to make eye contact, she notices me and her eyes look like they wanna move my way, she avoids eye contact. I move along, she goes to the womens locker room. It's still on though.

So after using the restroom I head back upstairs to the treadmills to cool down. So I see her there. I look at each equipment, and I didn't go right next to hers, I went to one that was off (I knew it was off) I start messing with it knowing it's not going to turn on, so I move to the next one, which happens to be next to her.

We're both running, and I'm still figuring out what to say so I start observing her character. Then I said to myself "ok, what's her value, and how can I use that to open." She had checked her shoe laces twice while running. So I'm trying to figure out how I can use that in a cold read. I thought I'd open with "hmmm... hey are you a person who makes sure you do something right, before you do it." Then I wanted to steer into something outside of the gym and be super creative. I didn't. I thought of asking her "what are the three reasons why you exercise." and then go from there. So this is my plan.

1. Break her focus on whatever her attention is on, take the focus and direct to me.

2. Cold Read her.

3. Ask the question "what are the three reasons why you exercise?"

4. Go on from there w/ the convo and develop it into something more.

5. Set up date, since I didn't have a cell phone, paper or pen on me. I'd set up with the times she's at the gym, pick a time, and say we'll meet on that day and do something afterwards. Jamba Juice maybe.

Ok, I was going to take her focus by putting my hand in front of the screen on her treadmill and break her focus, have her look at me, start talking. If it didn't go to plan, then oh well.

It didn't go to plan, lol because she stopped her machine and was ready to leave. It's still on though. I stopped mine. I get in front of her. I opened w/ the cold read, didn't go so smooth, but it was ok because the reason why it wasn't smooth was because she was breathing hard from all that running she was doing. I was in my cooling down phase of my workout. Went something like this.

Me: "hey, are you a person who likes to make sure she does everything right before she'll do it."
Her: "yeah."
(again, a lot of huffing and puffing)
Me: "I notice you kept checking your shoes."
Her: "yeah. I like to make sure everything is right but I'm not a perfectionist."

(she starts to maneuver to walk pass me, I position myself so I'm in front of her. She stops. Then I continue on.)

Me: "I have three questions for you. What are three reasons why you exercise."

(I noticed she put her right leg on top of a machine which meant she's planted and committed.)

Her: (she gave three reasons)
Me: Yeah, it's cool, you have to stay healthy you know (i'm loosing it here, and my minds blanking out)

I wasn't getting a two way communication vibe, and I was blanking out on what to say. I end it with "well, allright, it was cool talking." I wanted to steer the conversation somewhere and get a two way going on, but I wasn't feeling it.

Looking at it now, I could have figure out some way to reward her because she gave me the reasons why she exercises and became her instructor in her workout (not actually instructing her, but more like hanging out ) and role played off of that. and said things like "ok, if you give me one more rep, then we'll get some Jamba Juice later."

I'm thinking I still feel the need to put some words in the open air. I gotta work on that.

btw: For some reason, I see a lot of attractive females on Sundays at bookstores, malls, shoes stores, gyms, etc. I'm sure especially because it's football season and the guys are out watching football. Well, I went out cause football for the day is pretty much over, and I already saw my team, The SAN DIEGO CHARGERS win against the defending SuperBowl Champs, the Chicago Bears. Looks like lightning struck the Bears.
