Growing into something bigger is not a binary journey, my friend.
You'll find this interesting, though.
Walked into Wal Mart earlier this evening looking for a microSD card. It was late, so I had to hunt down the employee with the unlock key. This turns out to have been an attractive black woman. Tell her I need an SD card, and she starts walking to the electronics section, with me following close behind. I'm focused on that SD card and getting home to get back to work, not even noticing her, when I smell a very light, very feminine, very beautiful fragrance coming from her. Out of my mouth comes... "That is a really nice fragrance you're wearing." I am still consciously focused on getting the SD card and haven't even registered what I said yet. She replies with a thank you.
On the way from the electronics department to the registers at the front, she says to me, "I like to mix fragrances. This is actually two fragrances that I apply together." I momentarily have no idea why she said that. Then my conscious mind and focus return to the present, and I instantly replay what just happened. Before I am even finished, I say, "Interesting. I happen to be a perfumer." and then we are having an interesting conversation about fragrance. She says to me that she is intrigued. I comment that it sounds like she might enjoy learning perfumery, and she concurs that she would.
Before she leaves the front, I flag her down and say to her, "By the way, if you think you'd enjoy learning, I can teach you about perfumery." She lights up. "Okay! I would like that."
"Okay," I say. "I'll give you my phone number."
"Here," she says, "Let me give you mine instead." She enters her phone number in my phone where the name field is, and says, "Name's ____."
"Okay, I'll be in touch," I say.
Then I completely forgot about it until I was sitting down eating a little while later. I pull out my phone, and send her a text saying hello and asking her to tell me when she's interested in getting together.
Did I just manage to set up a date for myself with a woman I didn't even know the name of, and get her to give me her number when I was trying to get her to take mine? This is very intriguing. It was so comfortable, natural, fluid and automatic... I can't see me having done this sort of thing before DMSI 3.0.1-A. Apparently, it's either still running, or I have become something much more sexy and confident than before....
