So, let me tell you a story /soc/ialites about what's possible. 23 year old male, classic medium-class, that's me, picture related. I was coming from work with a friend via the subway with a 35+year old good friend. My hairdo was a crappy 'worked 10 hours and didn't brush this morning' situation, was unshaven for a good week, i was wearing a poorly fitting and quite ugly olive military undershirt with cargo-pants and i had a long black coat settled over my legs which reeked of insecurity and gamma-male. I was also reading news on my phone for most of the trip which left no room for responding to anything. From my estimations, from my ages of theory-crafting and divining what's cool, what's 'interesting' and the /proper/ way of doing things, this was a nightmare. A pure 'i don't give a fuck, i'm just going home from work' outfit and demeanor that should have not yielded any kind of results and should have appealed to no one. But it happened /soc/. I noticed a cute and interesting girl getting up and preparing to get off at the same station as me. Didn't think much of it, but continued to throw a glance. She wore a quilted tipped wool hat that fit her round face quite well and was small of frame, something i take a liking to. And then she did what i always do; instead of doing her hair in the window reflection or checking the time, she was 'spying'/sizing up people, namely me, in the reflection of the glass window of the door. We locked views in that reflection. At first i thought i just imagined her smiling, but a second later, she really was, and at me. I smiled back and as the train grinded to a halt, looked down and grabbed my coat as the doors opened.

At that moment, i don't know what came over me. I briskly walked to approach her seeing as i had a bit of land to cover. I was even approaching from the back, which is a major no-no if we were to believe PUA-training. I gently tapped her shoulder smiled, and said 'hello'. She was a bit surprised, but took her headphones out and said "Hello" as well. It was crowded and after the first hello, we got separated for a second, thought that was it, but she looked back. I managed to get alongside her again and i continued: "My name's Cosmo". It's not, it's a nickname i've been having for ages and when meeting someone new, especially under these circumstances, i never open with my nickname. It's a weird nickname for my country and it often leaves people puzzled and ... Without missing a beat, she responded: "I'm Niko". Niko is also not a common name here, so she was comfortable enough to open with a nickname. She continued right after in a slight gap in the pseudo-conversation.. "So what now?". I didn't think, my mind was taking a backseat to some programming that i didn't even knew i had. There was no stutter, no babbling wildly, it was casual and pleasant, if a bit strained as all new acquaintances are. My reply came like i was talking to my friend just minutes before and it flowed from there..

-"Tomorrow.. i can't, i'm working, but how about the day after tomorrow?" -"Thursday?" -"Yes. Around eight?" -"Eight and a half?" -"Good.. we'll meet around the old center.. can i get your phone number?" The rest is history. After i got her number we said our goodbyes and i left her with a "i'm looking forward to it". We parted ways right after as she was exiting the station and i was taking a connection. I continued walking with the most scared look on my face that i ever had, staring my friend in the face. 'What the fuck just happened?'. He knows me well enough that he was a bit shocked when he realized i didn't know her from any kind of encounter before and it was a straight-up pickup. But the most shocked person there was me. This doesn't happen to people usually, let alone me, and let alone in a situation where i can act comfortable and without jabbering. I also find that i'm hard to understand by people due to lazily talking, but there was none of that there. It was a perfect meeting, with a perfectly timed conversation and an ideal outcome. And here i am, telling this to you guys, and giving you this advice: Fuck all you know, this shit's possible, and it can happen to you.

A last bum before i head out to sleep, hoped i'd get more a reaction out of this seeing as it's on /soc/ and not /r9k/, but either way.
