At our last workshop in San Francisco a very interesting thing happened. I was in the bar with the guys and this person text's me "Were you just in Monkey Bar?" It didn't have a name attached to it so i had no idea who this was or how they got my number. I text back, "Yes, Who is this?" She text's me back "[her name], you gave me this number 2 weeks ago". Now i am really confused. i don't number close without putting someone's name in my phone. Plus all the guys are looking at me like; you got a girl's number and you don't even remember who she is? I feel really funny now. Everything i am telling them about finding the uniqueness in every person and here i am not even remembering someone i talked to just two weeks ago. And for the life of me i just couldn't figure out who it could be.
I text her to come to the bar we were at. At one point i see someone that looks familiar and i greet them warmly like i knew them. Great opener by the way. It turns out it wasn't her so i just introduced myself and started a conversation up with her. Finally MysteryTexter comes in. I realize she was the waitress at the Monkey Bar where we ate 2 weeks ago and that night.
Jason reminds me we were all flirting with her and i was being silly and left my phone number on the napkin as we left. I of course realize this is not solid game and i was doing that more as a joke then anything else. Well it looks like she kept that number for two weeks and when she recognized my name on the credit card she texted me. I was quite impressed. We hung out for a while at the bar and she even came with us when we switched venues.
I use my favorite line when i am at a seminar so it isn't weird "So since I am the social one of my group i have a goal to hook up all my friends tonight. So if you see me running around helping them talk to girls that is what I'm doing." I reward and relate and before I know it she is telling me how cute i am and we are making out in front of all the clients. Couldn't have planned a better demonstration.
I tell her "you know if i am going to take you home tonight we have to hook my buddy Jayson up since he is staying in my hotel room." She is a sweetheart but has to go home so she could get up early and says "I can't go home with you tonight, i have to be up early to go to kickboxing, but let's get together tomorrow night." And then starts making out with me again.
Once i explained all the details to the guys they forgave me. I was pretty impressed though at the power of this stuff. I've never had a girl call me when i left a number on a napkin at a restaurant. I never thought i would ever get a call that way, but it happened.

Monkey bar? Isnt that another name for project SanFran where pickup101 lives?
Nope, just my favorite Thai restraunt there.. Citizen Thai and Monkey Bar. Highly reccomended.
Ok so we just met up with Kory about 10 min ago down here in LA. He fills me in on a small detail i wasn't privy to. I thought perhaps i left my number on the napkin and i didn't remember it. I just created that idea in my head figuring i've done sillier things.. The fact is I DIDN'T leave my phone number, that was Kory, the bastard!
I love the guy he lobs one up and i get to knock it out. Same thing happened in Seattle. He opens this bachlorette party and i take over the set and end up being the one who brought the only single girl back with me. I love the guy though.. Shout out to the Korn Dog!
