First of all I wanted to tell you that I've learned a lot from your emails and have put many of your techniques to use with positive results. And it's great to have a PUA that doesn't just want to sell you shit all of the time and that actually sends out emails frequently answering to common problems among guys. Thank you. Now on to the real reason I sent you this message.
I was at the gym earlier today and after working out I went to the little cafe to get a quick after workout protein shake. As I walked up I wasn't really paying attention to the cashier and was just looking at the choices of shakes they had. As soon as I found what I was lookiing for I moved my eyes down to the cashier. In front of me was by far the cutest girl I had seen all day. She asked me what I wanted and I made my order. There wasn't anyone waiting in line so I just waited at the counter. I payed within 30 seconds and she tells someone to make the shake. Then she turns to me with this flirty smile and says "Soo, did you just come in or did you just get done working out?" Now at this point I am thinking she is just making small talk and I am kind of tired from working out and my conversation gears were pretty much shut down from a silent workout, so I tell her I just got done. She responds by saying "Oh really? You don't look like you had a very tough workout. (As she looks down at my biceps)" Now after she says this I know she is flirting with me because I am in very good shape and it is very obvious that I work out on a regular basis. My conversation gears don't even budge, so I chuckle slightly and flash a small smile. She says "Your supposed to laugh, it was a joke." "Right. Heh heh." I sarcastically respond. Now my gears begin to budge slightly, but my mind just goes blank, I have nothing to say AT ALL. I stood there trying to flirt back but my mind just wouldn't let me. My shake came up pretty quick so I say have a nice day and leave. As soon as I walked out the door I felt like punching my self in the head. I had a chance to get this cute and interesting girl's number and straight up blanked like a freaking amateur. Now the question that I wanted to ask is this: Do you have any techniques on how to get those converstion gears rolling right away after being in an environment where your almost completely silent the whole time? I would love to know a quick fix to this problem, so that if this happens again I can be ready.
