Nightstalker

My buddy and I go out.
I observe the crowd. I observe the girls.
I observe the interactions.
I scan the room.
I see a girl who looks very much like my only real love.
I'm in ghost mode and I see and recognize this but the dark passenger is nowhere to be found.
I don't approach her and game her into a date or whatever.

I see but don't feel.
I don't feel much of anything the whole time we are out.
I'm packing up my feelings in my heart and mind for my girlfriend who I'm breaking up with and that's taking most of my processing power.
It's rare I see a girl who's that close to my type that I don't approach.
It's a pretty specific type so when I see it I pursue.

In other news. I did meet a girl who's my favorite ethnicity at work the other night. She's promised to make me some food so we'll see if she's serious. She's a niche ethnicity but my game is usually tight/on point with them b/c of my previous experience with their culture and because my game is usually airtight with girls I'm genuinely attracted to. I cut out all the frills, all the BS, and my desire is red hot and direct and not thirsty...but I'm going to force a "no" early on rather than get jerked around.
We chop it up while I'm working and she has some thirsty male friend who keeps trying to be all gropey mc groperson with her but she demures and throws looks my way at times and catches me looking and there's that moment she can tell I'm slightly disappointed she'd even let that dude paw her up a bit but my eyes have the thousand yard stare I'm told and at the close of the night she insists I take her number in front of him.
The friendzone maintains its population density and I pick up another possible bird for my aviary.
