So I'm playing at a poker table in Europe and this girl sits down next to me. It's a very unusual situation at this local casino, but she's very cute + well dressed (classy). As soon as I see her I'm attracted. It's like what Hector says, it's rare but sometimes you meet a girl who you're immediately attracted to 100% which is rare for me.
She mainly followed her boyfriend who wanted to play poker (who is seated about 4 tables down) and only started learning to play a few months ago. (Comes to play once every 5 weeks or so from what she says)
As soon as she comes, I just start talking to her.
Me: "Weren't you here a few days ago?"
Her: (Smiling) No.
Me: Ah cool, my mistake.
We play a few rounds, and I'm joking with few buddies at the table while playing and betting poker.
Unfortunately, she ends up sitting across from me due to someone else reserving the seat and moves next to the dealer.
As this is happening, there's two older guys to my right who are obviously in their 50's+ 60's. They're very good people and like joking. They're joking with her and she's enjoying her time there, smiling and laughing. During this time, I was distracted with poker as I get into some serious hands but stay aware of what's happening around me.
I noticed she kept folding her hands and the guy next to me who took her seat is winning many hands. I jokingly tell her, "you gave away the vip seat" and she laughs and says "I know! I'm not getting any good hands."
And we have a couple of bantery exchanges here and there.
During the time, I have some friends stop by the table and I have conversations with them away from the table, and she also has some friends come by to say hi to her along with her boyfriend.
While this is going on, I always noticed that feeling when someone stares, and I would see that she was looking at me and quickly look away when I catch her looking. And I would joke and say, "trying to get a read on me to steal my money huh? professional poker player". and shed be like 'noooo!' etc
So this is where things start to get interesting.
Me: So, where do you live in the city?
Her: Nearby.
Me: Do you live at X? (The capital where a lot of wealthy people live. She had all designer clothes + rich girl mannerisms. Kind of like Rose from Titanic)
Her: (nods head, although I was pretty sure she was evading the question. probably too personal, too early)
Me: Ah cool, I thought you were from another country cause I never saw you here before and don't look like a local.
Poker dealer listening in. I can tell he's not liking what's happening for whatever reason.
He tells her something in local language right after this convo and says something like
"You don't have to answer any question you don't want to"
Not in a professional manner but like a white knight manner.
After about an hour or so, the seat opens near her. I move over to the seat with an saying "I'm not getting any good hands"
The dealer, who's a guy that's been watching. is a clear cockblock. (it's a local guy and I'm not a local).
I can't understand what he said to her exactly, but I can tell that he basically looks at me briefly and says to her quietly "He moved only because he likes you, not cause of good hands". Not in a playful manner but in a 'cock-blocking' tone. You know when you see a guy.
But she dismisses it and we continue playing.
As we start to talk more, the dealers come in and out and the guy leaves. She keeps giggling as we talk and whenever I put my focus to the poker again without talking for a stretch, she engages me in conversation like
Her: So do you play poker for money or just to keep your mind off of things?
Me: Pokers illegal where I'm from, so when I visit, I play for fun.
Her: Everyday?
Me: No no, every other day.
Her: Are you from X?
Me: yeah. blah blah blah.
Casual convo stuff.
I'm really attracted to this girl. She's very feminine and exactly my type and I think it showed.
She's giggling like a typical girl and always looking and me and looking away while brushing her hair when I catch her, looking down. Standard stuff.
But i feel like she was also like this with everyone else including older grandpas/grandpa, so I was thinking maybe its just how she is and I'm misreading.
That dealer guy comesback and sits.
I didn't have a local number, so I ask her if she uses ig/fb.
She says she does and only for private. Here I assume she's saying, it's only reserved for closer people (here I thought she wasnt interesting and just flirting for attn, but thinking back maybe also because she didn't wanna be seen giving out something on her phone in front of the dealer or people who knew her in public?) Idk.
I see the dealer smirking low key. I don't really mind haters now though so I pay him no mind
She goes: "Do you use?"
I just say here and there and move on from that moment.
I'm kind of curious to see if she's really just being nice/polite -flirty with me because she's stuck at the table or it's a matter of being discrete.
I go for a compliance test?
Her: Your eyes are really red. You must be tired.
Me: It's from crying when you took my money earlier. (She won a hand earlier vs me)
Her: Laughs.
Me: Do you have a mint? It would help me wake up.
Her: noo but I think they might sell here. (Asks the dealer if he has mints for me)
Me: i look at the waiter and just shakes my head to say its okay
I couldn't really tell if shes interested or not. So after a few minutes, I decide to test a bit.
Her: I'm not getting any good hands in this seat!
Me: Ahhh, you can try switching tables.
Her: Really?
Me: Yeah, you can move anywhere. You might get better luck.
Her: Hmmm (looking around)
Me: To the dealer: She wants to switch tables.
Her: no no, I'm okay. Im going to say. (Smiling to me)
The boyfriend is coming in and out and she also has friends stopping by.
We go to do small talk like her trying to guess where I'm from, how old I am, local culture etc. But I noticed she evaded a lot of questions I asked her.
For example, I have a lot of friends that went to X college here and she's a post grad. But when I would ask her where she went to college, she would avoid the question similar to she avoided the question earlier in same manner.
I would tell her that I have a few friends that went to XY college (top schools in the nation if that matters) and she wouldn't answer.
So after going back and forth like this, I just decided she was just being polite and not actually interested .I was contemplating whether to go for asking her contacts again but it was in front of other people so there were pressure but after she just kept evading my questions, I just decided to go against it.
I proceed to lose a hand in a bad beat and stand up to go home.
She goes nooo youre leaving? I say yeah every dog has their day in poker to which she laughs.
It was so nice to meet you and pokes her lips out like she's sad. I just nonchanantly smile and leave while saying my byes to my friends.
What could I have done better?
In front of her boyfriend who's far away/
People she knows coming in and out/
Dealer trying to cockblock you/
not knowing if she's interested or just being polite flirt because shes stuck at the table until her bf is done.
Any feedback?
