Ok, as per my MO, this will be a long post. My apologies, in advance…
This story begins back in January. Instead of trying to remember all the details, I figure it would be best to quote a series of LS posts detailing the first few encounters, back when my memories were fresh…

The next day before class I approached her and asked for her number, if you want something done right, do it yourself, no? I called her that afternoon (a tuesday) and made a date for that Friday evening at Starbucks. Before leaving my house I put on 15 inches of Scent of Eros (cut 50% with Beta Androstenol), one spray of Chikara and 5 sprays of Liquid Trust. She had gotten lost and was about 10 minutes late, and was visibly irritated. Within a few moments she seemed to calm down, but was still not relaxed, as she is pretty high-strung anyway. As the evening progressed she did seem to relax though, and began speaking quite openly. She told me a bunch of stories about her ex-boyfriend and his family. Including one about a fight she had with her ex-boyfriend’s mother, who apparently, is some sort of crazy drug addict. At one point she noticed that my pinky flips up as I drink espresso and started making fun of me, insinuating that I was gay. I played along and that joke ran for close to 5 minutes, she was clearly comfortable enough to laugh and joke with me. All in all, it was a good night and i was encouraged.
She was not in class the next week so I called her to ask what was wrong and if she would like to get together over spring break (which was in 2 weeks). It turns out I woke her up from a nap when I called. After I asked if she would like to get together, she told me she was “sleeping that week.”
What!?
I responded that maybe we could do something another time and promptly said goodbye. Now, being aware that she was half asleep, I figured that may not have been the cop-out it sounded like. I opted to wait until class next week, when she was awake and speak to her then. As it turned out, she was absent all that week, as well as the week after spring break. When she finally returned to class, she completely ignored me. Confounded, I decided to chalk it up to experience and go find fairer waters.
Now, fast forward to last Tuesday: As I walked into class she looked up at me and then quickly looked down at her phone and greeted me with an elongated, “Heeellooo.” Obviously I cannot adequately describe her tone of voice in writing, but it had a sort of “unsure-yet-intrigued” quality to it. At the time I thought nothing of it and simply responded, “hey.” It was not until later that afternoon that I reevaluated my dismissal of her reaction to my arrival.
So, I said to myself, “What the hell? If she is still interested; then great; if not, then one day she will tell her children about the time she drank coffee with The Great, Lord FutureKill when he was still a young man
.” Thus did I decide to approach the fair [L] come (last) Thursday.
Anyway, I reviewed my “phero-notes” from the past few months, and realized that just before the time when she began ignoring me I had stopped wearing chikara (in spite of advice from several LS regulars :o). I figured that I ought to try and recreate the mix I had on when I originally approached her, but with a few enhancements.
The following is transcripted from my notes(which sadly are unusually lacking in detail, not my best work
):
While it isn’t much of a climax to our story, I just called L and made plans to meet tomorrow at the nature hike referred to above.
In conclusion (finally
), I am absolutely certain that the Instant Female Magic and EST played a role in her being more relaxed. But, I do not think that the consistency issue (that is, wearing Chikara like before) was even an issue. Also, I am aware that my game has improved since February and that, surely, played a role. Tomorrow I am thinking I will wear a similar mix, but with Instant Gentleman and TAA in lieu of Scent of Eros and Chikara.
Any Thoughts?
