FR: 1 night in LA, 3 #closes.

Something clicked in me since my last field work.

Saturday morning, I met a girl (HB9.5) at the elevators of the hotel. I opened her before I even saw her face (situational, on her hat). We kept talking as we got in the elevator. She told me that she's going to the La Brea Tar Pits to see fossils and she immediately DLV'd herself by saying that she's a bit of a dork. I immediately SOI'd her: "Ah, you're into science. I think that's really cool." (I broke my own promise, in that I didn't say the word sexy... I'm still working on that). Somehow I felt that she's a bit into me. She wanted to talk to me, and kept offering info, like she's from Ohio and here by herself etc. The interaction was so brief, I kicked myself afterwards for not closing.

Luckily (I'm the luckiest person I know), I ran into her in the evening in the elevator again. I immediately number closed her (we kept the elevator door open until I finished). I wasn't able to get her to join me at the club later in the night, but we started txting. Maybe I'll have something more to report by tomorrow. I wanted to push for sometime so I can run more attraction and connection...

We went to Les Deux, apparently the hottest club in LA. I was on fire, and it really helped that we booked a table. I opened a lot of sets. Some didn't go so well, but I kept going until I was warmed up. One set two sisters, opened really well (situational, then banter). I told them they looked cool and I wanted to talk to them and entertain them for awhile. They said they've been waiting for someone to do that cuz they're tired of talking to eachother (I immediately said I was going to charge them for this service, and they laughed). I nicknamed them Sugar (HB7) and Spice (HB7) and told them to fight it out who's who, they loved it. After I found out that sugar worked at a bank and handles their M&A deals, I told her I was going to pump her for information, because I'm James Bond (they ate it up). It was spice's 21st birthday, and I charmed sugar enough that she basically pushed her sister to give me her number.

Then I saw a couple, and I immediately opened the guy. I had no idea why I did it, but I was on a roll. My BL was such that I was turned slightly away from her, toward the guy. Something didn't feel right because I would talk to the guy and the girl (HBsmart, 8) would always try to jump in the conversation to make a comment. It turns out they were brother and sister. SHIT people... this is why you talk to EVERYONE. I left them for a bit, and caught up with them later. I asked the brother if it's okay that I danced with the sister, he was more than happy if she wanted to, and yes she did. So I lead them to the area of my table, and called in my pivot. I introduced her to the set and she started to chat up the brother, while I isolated HBsmart. It turns out that this girl is really smart (she does cancer research) and she feels a bit out of place in this kind of club, and I immediately hit up on that. I told her I find it sexy that she's into science. I danced with her, then sat her down, kinoed like crazy, arms around her shoulders, waist, held her hand, etc. I #closed her and made plans with her to hang out in the day, doing something more chill, less crazy. She warned me that she's "kind of" seeing someone at the moment, and she added, "just so that I'm completely honest about it"... I said ok. She stayed with me for awhile, then ran off with her brother. At one point her brother lost her and I found her again, and brought her back to her brother (I won so many points this night... it's crazy). Anyways, I'm looking forward to hanging out with her tomorrow.

The night went by so fast and I'm not tired at all. That was definitely one of the best clubbing experience of my life. I've become much more relaxed talking to sets that I've started to notice little things on the spot.
