Nice post - again - Halcyon. This topic comes up in many different forms very often, from interaction to failing to make D2's and you post contains a part of the answer; making a real connection with a girl. If you make a genuine connection with a girl she will open up to you a lot more, you will greatly increase your chance of a K-close or even a F-close and definately make you stand out in her mind when you contact her regarding a D2. And what you have discussed is a very good way of making that conenction and making her feel comfortable with you...this will allow her to open up to you and start to lower her bitch shield. An important part of Gaming to be learnt here :-)
