I'm used to meeting cute girls at strange moments, but this takes the cake. I recount as much as I can remember from the short interaction because I really think subtleties are important to note.
I went with the Dad and bro to an aerial adventure park, its got zip lines, slack lines, wood balance beams, etc. all suspended 15 to 50 feet in the air. The courses vary from easy to expert using the same system as ski resorts (green circle -> double black diamond).
I thought I was going to do the double black diamonds like a champ. But I was about to lose my lunch on the blue square (intermediate) course. I learned I'm afraid of heights a little late.
But I made it through and faced my fears. I'm a better man for it and want to face more fears. Awesomeness all 'round.
Now to the girl. There's a course that's has a ton of zip lines, more of a fun course compared to the challenging ones. I notice a cute girl below me on what looks like a different course. Genuinely curious I ask her if its a black diamond course (thought it was). She says no and I leave it at that. There was a feeling I should have followed up with something to explain why I asked, but I didn't care. I was up there having fun and she looked like she was on a completely different course. I'm all like "WOOOO HOOOOO" as I go down the zip line, cuz it's fuckin fun and notice I catch her eye.
Turns out she was just ahead of me on the same course.
I'm like "awesome!", so I move along a little swifter to get a good look at this cutie. My brother is up ahead of me and she is just ahead of him. At the very last long zip line she stops to wait for her friends on the platform. My lil bro gets all tangled up from the ladder climb down to it and she has to help him out. I'm yelling down to my brother to make sure he's ok (he's 10) and thank her for helping out. Now I climb down and she's still there waiting for someone. I ask her "waiting for someone?" Just a tinge of it implying waiting for me ;}
She says yeah so I say "cool so you don't mind if I cut you?" As I'm attaching myself from the ladder I make some small talk
JW- Fun huh?
Cutie- Oh yeah haha (don't really remember if thats what we said exactly, but something situational)
JW- So where you from?
Cutie- XYZ, how about you?
JW- XYZ
I'm attaching myself through the zip line through out all this.
So I'm about ready to go, and I say fuck it. So I say "you know you're pretty cute... Do you want to meet up sometime?"
She says, "um... Probably not ...I have a boyfriend"
Imaginary boyfriend probably.
So I say okay that's fine, and she tells me to enjoy my ride. I zip off into the distance with a "YAHOOOOOOOOO", happy with my growth of the day facing fears and going for what I want.
So yeah, definitely not the typical day game situation at all, but the opportunities I run into seem to be anything but typical. I'm also interested in what is the best one can do in a situation like this where time is not on your side (and you're in a extraordinary situation).
And I can see how I didn't really give her of a reason to want to meet up. No connection, investment, or any of the good stuff.
Extra stuff:
After I got down she's still waiting in the platform. I see a little kid running down the slopes and turn into a rag doll and get a face full of rocks. No ones around so I help the little dude. He's okay, but I know she saw me. Brownie points.
The next part confused me. I was a bit disoriented from the harder courses so I may have mixed up the girl I checked out and asked out with another girl who looked a little too young for me (17ish). This would be important because I'm rocking a beard, long hair and chest hair exposed. Call me a sexy mountain man, cause that's what I am. Note: The course is in a forest, in the mountains during a festival so I fit the context pretty well haha
I also saw her walking around the area quite a few times. We were in the same areas coincidentally numerous times, it was kind of funny and I caught her looking over at me.
So questions...
What would you do in this situation?
What could I have done better?
Any words on being in the same area as a girl that turns you down? (obviously you want to be nonchalant, warm, and cool about it... but to put in one way, I felt like my eye contact was unsure where it should be.)
Thanks for reading.
