Had a very interesting thing happen today. I walked into a donut shop to get a coffee drinklatta after clearing up the final day of the garage sale, and behind the counter was a cute young Hispanic girl with beautiful Mocha skin. She looked like she was about 18, and I normally don't go for anything that appears to be less than about 24, but for some reason I stood in line and observed this girl - who was cute, but by no means exceptional - and out of nowhere I came up with a way to break the ice and flirt without even thinking about it.
She reminded me of a previous Hispanic girl I had seen working there, who was older and more attractive to me, so when I got to the front of the line I gave her my order and while she was filling it, I said, "________, do I look familiar?" But I didn't say it in an inquisitive way as though I might not, I said it with that "You better remember me!" type of inflection. She stopped, looked at me (as did her workmate, a Caucasian girl) and after a moment gave me a half confused and half embarrassed "No,". I said, "You don't remember me? I certainly remember you," said as if I was disappointed and she should remember me. More pause and confusion, and then she asked me, "What do you remember me from?"
I told her that I remembered her from the time I was there before where "the odd thing happened with the people in line", and then said, "Well, no big deal." But now she was curious, and wondering why she didn't remember when I so obviously and easily did, and I had implied hat she ought to remember too, so naturally she asked me what I was referring to. I again said, "Nothing, it's no biggie." and she continued to push because of her curiosity at this apparent lapse of her memory.
"I came in with a long haired redhead, remember?" No, she didn't. Mainly because it was the other Hispanic girl I encountered that day. Hee hee hee... "And that guy in line slipped fell so hard on his butt and everyone was stunned for a moment, but instead of being mad he started laughing harder and harder, and then everyone started laughing, but nobody knew why they were laughing, and we all laughed even harder about it because we didn't know why we were laughing? Come on, you don't remember that?!"
Now that was pretty specific, and something she should have remembered, but she couldn't remember it at all was was completely baffled. Then I said, "Come on, _______, you've got to remember me!" and still she was drawing a blank. "Well next time I come in, you'd better remember me!" I said. Then she asked when I came in and that happened, and I said it was about 8 months back, and she said, "Well that's a long time ago! Come in more often and I will remember you!" Then I laughed and playfully said, "I'll do that. Maybe then you'll remember me!" to which she laughed, and I said goodbye. She filled my cousins order and then went out of her way to say goodbye to me - twice - and smiled at me both times.
In a day or so I'm going to go back and say, "__________, do I look familiar?" and she's going to remember me, of course, and then she'll laugh and smile and say yes. And then I'll ask her if she remembers that incident now, and she won't, and I'll chide her for not remembering it and ask how she can remember me, and not remember that. She won't know - but I will: it never happened. I made it up on the spot. So there's no way she can possibly remember, but now I have her talking and remembering me, and I'm being playful with her and she's having fun and enjoying the attention, while being slightly embarrassed that she can't remember this oh-so-obvious-but-entirely-fictional experience we supposedly shared.
Then I'll say, "Well surely you remember my name, right? but she won't because I never told her. "Oh yes I did. You know my name. What's my name, _________? Come on, you're killing me here, how can you remember me and forget my name?"
But she won't, because I never told her, and this will put her on the spot and embarrass her, but when she hears it, she'll definitely remember it. And then I'll chide her again and say, "I'm going [to the movies/kayaking/whatever] tonight, and I know you want to join me. When do you get off work? You can come too."
If she says she can't, doesn't want to, etc. I'll give her a hard time and jokingly tell her she made plans with me, and she just doesn't remember it. And it will go from there.
I don't normally come up with stuff like this. I think woman magnet and overcome approach anxiety are having a good effect in some ways, at least...
