I’m walking in the food court at the mall when I spot this super good looking blonde sitting by herself at one of the tables. She’s working on her computer and the table is right next to this railing which separates the walkway im in from the seating area.
I walk by her, she looks up from her work and we make eye contact. As soon as our eyes meet I decide I’m gonna stop and open. She’s receptive to my energy, but feisty to my verbals:
What happened between us here initially is that we got into a frame battle.
The frame battle occurred because she interpreted my opener as if I was screening to qualify… in reality, the plan was to screen to stimulate. Because she interpreted it like this, she asked me a question back, “doesn’t everyone?” This is a common response from higher quality girls when I open by asking if they have plans for who they wanna be, so I was prepared with an answer that widens the frame.
When I handled that bit, she started to get a tad defensive after by saying there’s nothing wrong with these ways of living. In the past I might have said something defensive back like, “I never said there wasn’t”, but from experience I know this never works. Instead, I chose to agree with her here to minimize her defensiveness.
Then I moved back to the screen, and she was compliant enough to provide me with an answer I could stimulate her on. She says she likes to live in the moment, so I bring up an interesting perspective on this [borrowed from this Bacchus LR]. It does the job and stimulates her.
After the frame battle and stimulation, we get into some talk about how its better to be who you wanna be, rather than who society wants you to be. I go on to set a vague variation of the sexual frame that is seen here. We discuss my friend who grew up in a religious household. She's currently hesitant to take the next step with a new guy she's seeing because she’s worried she’s gonna feel shame, due to her strict upbringing. I cap it off by saying it's better to march to the beat of your own drum. HB agrees with all this.
Then I start eliciting HB on some of her values. She likes to help others. The vibe is really good between us so shortly after I close, but she explains she can’t meet me again because she has a boyfriend. Didn’t bother persisting or reframing here, was still working on my closing process at the time.

FOG: hey, I have something important to tell you.
HB: what is it?
FOG: this will make sense in a minute. you have plans for who you wanna be right?
HB: doesnt everyone?
FOG: you’d be surprised, some people just want to live in the moment and go with the flow
HB: theres nothing wrong with either
FOG: youre right they are both good ways to live. But im curious about you, do you have plans for who you wanna be or are you the kinda person to live in the moment?
HB: live in the moment
FOG: yeah, do you know whats interesting about living in the moment?
HB: what?
FOG: its like as pay attention to the current moment….you focus on the details, tuning out all the other distractions…until you reach this point where youre in your own world….hours pass and you don’t even notice time go by…I love it.
HB:[stimulated]
FOG: I have found that people who are concerned about who they’re gonna be easily fall into societys pressures of who to be
HB: [thinking] yeah like society’s norms….
