The Art of Approaching

(Rick Simeone) #1

But now, not only was she coming out to my neck of the woods, she had actually initiated
the meeting!


I knew this was a good sign.


I emailed her back about when she would be coming into town, and worked out a night to
get together with her. She was coming into town on a Thursday evening and staying with
her brother and his wife, who lived in the San Fernando Valley, just north of where I
lived in Hollywood.


We agreed to meet for dinner on Friday. Her shoot was scheduled that Saturday and
Sunday, and she’d be heading back to New York on Monday, so I didn’t have a very big
window to get together with her.


Luckily, besides her brother, I was really the only person she seemed to know in LA, so
getting together was fairly easy.


I decided to take her to The Grove, a huge outdoor mall in Hollywood filled with shops,
restaurants, movie theatres, and all kinds of other activities. It’s one of my favorite
places in LA, and a great place to take a date, due to the ability to mini-date the girl
you’re with all over the place.


I emailed her directions and we met at the Cheesecake Factory in The Grove. She was
about 40 minutes late because she was stuck in traffic for a while coming down from the
Valley.


There were times while I was waiting for her where I was worried she was flaking on me.
I’m not used to milling about for 40 minutes waiting for a girl to show up. But she kept
calling me to tell me what was going on, so I knew I just had to be patient.


While I was waiting for her, I took some time to try and visualize how I wanted the night
to go. I played the following scenario through my head numerous times as I sat in the
Cheesecake Factory waiting for my date to arrive...


She would show up, happy to see me. We’d hug, sit down, and have a nice meal with
some great conversation.


We’d then walk around The Grove, mini-dating, and having more great conversations.


After that, I’d ask if she’d like to come back to my place for a drink.


We’d go back to my apartment, and sit on my couch and talk for a bit. I would make my
move, we’d make out for a bit, and then I’d lead her back to my bedroom where we’d
have sex.
