I am definitely seeing the effects of Woman Magnet in my life lately. More and more I have very attractive women showing up in my life, and more and more I find myself in closer proximity to them than ever before. I have even begun talking to them in situations where I normally would not. It doesn't seem to have worked itself out fully; sometimes I find myself responding in some very odd ways. Today I was talking to my waitress, who had all the classic features of a model except the height that runway models require, about modeling. It's notoriously difficult to approach a woman cold about that, and on top of it I was having lunch with my (quite clueless) mother who was doing everything in her power to embarrass me in front of this lovely young lady.
And yet I found myself talking to her about modeling for me.
Did I have any business cards? No. Do I have a website up to send her to? No... Do I even have any idea what I would shoot her for? Not a clue. But there it was. And it was even stranger because there was one part of me that was doing this calmly and smoothly, and another part, apparently subconscious, which was shaking so hard that I was having trouble manipulating my fork while I did it. That old social anxiety response.
I wasn't trying to come onto her... I had nothing to lose... I wasn't afraid of her... so why was I shaking? And why was I trying to get her to model for me when I have no idea what I would use her for as a model? Or a business card, or a website... what the hell?!
And with my mother sitting there, no less.
But there it was... I did it. And that would not have happened before I started the woman magnet. I'd have just left her alone. So, "go me" on the approach... but I'm still kinda scratching my head a bit about the details.
If she contacts me, this is one I absolutely cannot blow. She's had bad experiences with photographers in the past, so if she does work with me, it has to be flawless. I guess I'll shoot her for stock photography or something, maybe get a portfolio started for her.
