When I was in Saigon a few years ago, I was eating lunch in a cafe that was empty except for a cute girl across the restaurant from me. I said hi and we started chatting. Ended up going to get foot massages and coffee together. She was a flight attendant from Tokyo, and when I eventually moved to Tokyo for a few months, we ended up meeting up. Didn't work out - she had no time to meet, usually. But it was awesome having a change meeting with a beautiful woman and all that.

Always get contact info. I've stayed in contact with a couple cute women I've sat next to on planes.

OP's book plan seems like too much, though.

I don't know, giving a woman who was a bank teller a book about bank robberies sounds vaguely threatening and is on the cusp of conspiracy charges from a grand jury. Then again, if she's not interested in the subject matter, perhaps it was never meant to be.

He could just wrap the book.

It's a much better plan than trying to hang out at all the places she told him about. It shows that he remembered the conversation, shows interest and thoughtfulness, and puts the ball in her court. Even if she finds it odd, she knows that he doesn't even live in her town, so there's not much of a safety concern. Besides, it sounded like she was very open and comfortable with him.

I think it's romantic and will most likely come off that way. She was obviously interested in him, as confirmed by his female friend. So many negative people in here. Life is short, might as well take a chance.

 

[ColdPizza]

But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there

 

[RandomDancing]

He could just wrap the book.

Seriously. Just put it in a small paper bag. Her coworkers may look in the bag to snoop but at least then there is no chance the note would fall out.

This hot Zombies reference.

 

[nitewulf]

So her bag pops out, she says "well there's my bag". She walks up close to me and puts her hand on my arm and smiles and says "I'm glad to have got to meet you!". I agree with her and she walks off and grabs her bag and looks at me again but now she looks annoyed and walks off.

wow. i mean wow. what the fuck do you guys need? illustrated step by step fucking (well, no you won't be will you? ) instructions?

you didn't even ask her name? i can't even...

good god.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

First half of the thread was so sweet, damn GAF you're warming my broken heart!

Second half after the no-show though... Why did OP expect her to show up at her working place's lunch if she's on vacation? How does OP expect the front desk to know who to give the book to if he doesn't even have her name? Also some of the time frames and distances are a bit confusing... This is weird...

 

[ColdPizza]

This hot Zombies reference.

Good catch

 

[ZOONAMI]

This happened to me on a plane. I did get her number though. We lived literally a few blocks from each other. We dated for about 3 months.

Ultimately didn't work out, but it was cool.

 

[Cave Johnson]

If it makes you feel better OP, I would've fucked up from the start. You still have a chance.

 

[StanleyStutters]

Reading through the thread it looks like OP has handled this as well as possible. Way better than I would have. Regardless of what happens, you left it all out there man and that's what counts.

 

[Quirah]

any updates?

 

[BackLogJoe]

any updates?

I went home today. I didn't do the book thing.

 

[RoninChaos]

So no go on finding her?

 

[octopiggy]

I went home today. I didn't do the book thing.

So it's over? Don't say this is how it ends.

 

[gregor7777]

What happened to game in this day and age? I mean it's so simple: "what is your name?" "Id love to meet up somewhere for coffee. Would you?" This is 101.

How to win at life: be straightforward, reach out and get what you want.

 

[Surfinn]

I'm kinda invested too. Surely this isn't how it ends.

 

[ColdPizza]

Come on...we were all heavily invested in this.

somebody has never been maced apparently

 

[nitewulf]

Dude. Its common human decency. gregor7777 didn't say to cross the street and grab her pussy. The OP and this girl had a long ass conversation, at least show the other person some common civility by knowing her name. Not everything has to be about dating and getting laid.

Oh...well now everything is starting to make sense.

By the way OP what's your name

Shhh da game is to be sold playa!

 

[Alienous]

This is her life now, OP.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

By the way OP what's your name

Why?

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Why?

GAF law. If you fail in picking up a person mentioned in a GAF thread, you're forcibly enrolled in to the gaf dating pool, and we don't want to start by making the mistake that caused the thread.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

This is her life now, OP.

Good going, OP!

My night is now ruined.

How much money have you given to PUA coaches?

 

[Spoiled Milk]

This thread is a disaster. You should have lied to us.

 

[rec0ded1]

FISSION MAILED

 

[Deuce Deuce]

Hmmm, this might be a little risky (as in it may come across as stalky), but you might see if you can find her via social media. Maybe give it one last try before moving on.

How? OP doesn't know her name.

 

[Aselith]

OP, just play camper and try to observe that place 24/7.

Oh, honey, no...

 

[maomaoIYP]

I went home today. I didn't do the book thing.

Why. =(

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Aw man, this thread is ending on a bummer :/

Go back to the place when she's back from her holiday OP.

 

[_Ryo_]

Yea. Looks like you failed. Sorry, man

Learn from this experience. Move on.

 

[ColdPizza]

How? OP doesn't know her name.

He knows where she works. If she listed it as her employer and doesn't have privacy settings turned on there's an outside chance he can find her.

 

[Allonym]

Omg man! This is something out of a sweet, romantic movie! I'm happy that you got to experience something like this but yea, most definitely seek her out. Go to her restaurant and find her. Someone on GAF deserves to have a happy ending. Represent for us shy dudes...but in a good way by actually speaking up and getting the girl.

 

[blame space]

I'm dead inside.

 

[Tall4Life]

(((((((

 

[Kilrogg]

goddamnit, mang

 

[aerts1js]

I suppose you were too scared to even ask what her name was so the book thing was never really a possibility.

 

[Messofanego]

You know if this GAFer gets on the news for stalking, we probably shouldn't be encouraging that 😂

 

[CarlisleDavid1979]

Opportunity has passed friend. Time to move on.

 

[Sora_N]

Damn OP. Better luck next time.

 

[FreeMufasa]

Plan C OP

Get tinder plus, change the location to her city and reduce the radius

 

[-ImaginaryInsider]

No reason to beat yourself up OP, there are plenty of girls who will both talk to you AND offer up their their name if they really like you.

 

[Muffin1611]

Thank god my girlfriend invited me to meet her back then. I wouldn't have, and apparently I had already missed tons of hints before that.

Hope it works out for you OP, or not and you can find someone else.
