I havent been keeping much in the way of logs, as I havent been in many social situations where I used pheros. I think I noticed some effects in my colleagues… more chatty and cheerful when I wear IO and IS. Ammo seemed to garner some added respect from people who dont usually give me much.
Tonight, my coworkers and I went to Hooters for dinner. I am low on Ammo, so I didnt use any. Instead I just went with 2 sprays of TUTH on my neck, 1 spray of IS on the back of one arm, and 1 spray of IH on the back of my other arm. No obvious reactions for a while, although the guys were pretty cheerful. Our younger shy friend was more upbeat which is nice.
My first indication of a possible hit was when our waitress (we’ll call her Daisy) came over to check on us. We nodded that we were okay, and she said, “So do y’all work together? Well, at least you are off work. Thats pretty cool. I work until 1am. <long pause> Okay, cool.” Then she walks off. Awkward attempt at smalltalk. I should add that I was sitting furthest away from her, pinned against the window at a table too small for 5 dudes.
As the evening went on, the guys were noticing that she was paying extra attention to our young shy friend, who was across the table from me, next to the window. They noticed that whenever she came by to chat, she was always hanging out near him. She barely looked at him though, and of course he is shy and doesnt say anything to her. Her eyes seemed to keep returning to me.
A couple of the guys head outside for a smoke break and on their way out, they talk to the waitress and indicate that young guy likes her and wants her phone number. She comes back, tells us what they said, and says to tell them that she gave him her phone number and that they are going to go to a movie the next day.
They took this as a sign that things were all set, and kept on, bugging him about it, saying that if he didnt get action by the end of the week that they would harass him about it for the rest of his days. Poor guy. He played his role well though.
Her other tables left, and we were her only occupied table, so she sat in an empty seat across from me, next to young guy. We talk about where we are from, we talk about music, and movies. The other guys pretty much ignore her, or say things that come across (to me anyways) as self centered. Young guy doesnt say anything. Her attention is fixed on me.
At one point, she asked to look at our hands, so she could tell us from our palms if we were good boyfriend material. She didnt spend any extra time on me, but she offered her hand back so I could see hers. I held it a second or two longer, lightly rubbing her hand with my thumb, and smiled lightly back at her as I released her. I made sure there was eye contact, and man, did those eyes dance, even if only for a split second.
I didnt notice alot of other body language IOI’s, but I am learning how to recognize them. Either way, when we got our checks, we paid seperately, and headed out. She was at the front door as we left, said some pleasant “Thank you’s” and “See you later’s”. I was the last one out. I gave her a nice smile, looked her in those beautiful eyes and said “Have a great night, Daisy”. She smiled back, and reached around my waist for a hug. She squeezed pretty tight, pressing her body and face into my chest. I must admit, I felt a little bad. Like I cock-blocked Young Guy.
