Kicking Myself!

Guys, and Gals tell me if this has ever happened to you.

So last week I was in a very swanky part of L.A. called Pacific Palisades, meeting with my real estate agent at a Starbucks. Even though I was mainly focused on the business at hand, he, and I couldn't help but to notice how many beautiful upscale women were just out, and about near us in The Village. Shortly after the agent left, I started walking to my car, and out of nowhere a really stunning mid to late 20's woman looked me right in the eyes, smiled, and very flirtatiously, bouncing, and sort of skipping along, said "hi, how are you doing?" I said "fine thanks, and you?" As we passed eachother. 2 seconds later I realized she may have just given me the green light to approach her. Well, I didn't, and now I can't help but to regret that lost opportunity to become better aquainted with her.

Moving On...

Now again, just two days ago, I'm in Pasadena, strolling along the main boulevard, and I see another stunner posted up with a donation box on Colorado Blvd, so I stopped to ask her what was she doing out there with no water, no shade, asking for donations in 100 degree temps. We chatted, and I told her I felt bad for her, having to stand in the heat like that, so I offered to go buy her a bottle of water. I soon left, but returned with a rather large bottle of cold water. She was really impressed with my generosity, and we continued to talk. She at some point took out a pen, and a piece of paper, and was holding it up. What did I do? I CHOKED! I Basically left the scene without closing the deal. And kicking myself because of it. Can I pleeeeze get a redo? LOL!

Does anybody else feel the need to "kick themselves" when they let a certain opportunity to meet someone get away from them?

 

Nice pic, first of all...

Similar thing happened to me a couple of years ago, I was kicking myself for months afterwards! I was still living in Oz but was in the US on vacation. He and I had just stepped off the blue line in Long Beach (what an adventure). I needed directions, I asked him, and he gave them to me, looked me dead in the eyes, called me sweetheart. I was ready to fall at his feet, lost for words. He was such a honey! It was different from any other situation I've had. It felt electric! As he walked off in the opposite direction, we both looked back at each other but shy ole me never got the courage to directly hit on him. Oh I was so regretful!

 

Don't live with regrets and could have been. Why not use this experience to plan how you would do different next time?

 

We've all had these regrets. But i have to say the second mistake was on you completely loll.

My mistakes(i use that loosely) is when i cant tell if a girl is trying to flirt. Cause some dont know how to.

 

Im sure you get a gazzillion more opportunities though, no sweat - it happens... Good news is that those two are not the only two hotties in LA

you be careful or you might have to settle.. and drnk coffee w me

So your house shopping? Where?
I just went through that late last year.. I saw so many houses I wanted to puke. Have you found anything good yet?

 

Thank You Sweetie!

I can totally see me kicking myself for at least a month, same as you, but I reckon this too shall pass as soon as I take full advantage of the next opportunity when it rolls around.

Great advice J.
I just wish there wouldn't have to be any "next time" as I clearly could have been well on my way to keeping the company of a fair lady as of right now.

LOL!

And that one definitely stings the most.

 

I guess you're right about that FG. There's at least ONE MORE HOTTIE that I know of in L.A.

Keep talking like this, and I might just see if you'll be willing to put your money, where your mouth is.

Nope, I actually already have several properties, and am selling one.

Now back to this "coffee with me thingy"... :smt038

 

well your choking is good news for some of us those silly women should have been more aggressive and pounced on you

 

:smt023 EXACTLY!! lippy... "hey it was really nice talking to you...here is my card (hands her business card to handsome bm) ...i would love to chat with you again soon (how about tonight?)

 

Wouldn't that be every guy's dream Lippy!

But to her credit, she did give me all the right signals, steady eye contact, smiles, talkative, and an overall body language that seemed very inviting towards me. About all a guy could ask for, from an under 30's something gal. Not to mention, she held up a pen, and paper, and all I had to say was, "take my number, you should call me sometime." So it's really all on me. *Kicking Self!*

 

So she has your number then?
So she might call..
shucks did I lose my starbucks date w you...
LOL
:smt003

 

Dumb.....Ass......

Jeez.....

Dummy......Man your stupid......

LOL

 

Doesn't take you long to get back on the horse fella :smt047

 

She doesn't have my number, but I should have at least suggested she take it.

Hindsight really is 20/20.

So now that I've learned a valuable lesson on how NOT to let a great opportunity slip away when it presents itself, it's time to move on, so if I may, please allow me to put what I've learned to good use, as I, without hesitation, proceed to invite a certain someone to meet with me at Starbucks.

:smt043:smt043:smt043

I never said I wasn't resilient...

Next Time

Next time just say something bold & the first thing that comes to mind. That's what I have done in the past when I'm at a lost of words. If you say something bold it shows confidence, it may catch them off guard, giving the power in the exchange back to you. Then, what you usually say first is how you really feel, and things go well when your up front and honest. Plus, if fuck up and say something crazy or stupid, at least the conversation is still going & you still have the opportunity to correct yourself.
