Maybach Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I went to a huge gala (with catering and complimentary wine and such) held by my plastic surgeon/ dermatologist. (who I see for acne.) They had all his staff wining and dining clients, plus company reps from Allergen, Botox and Coolsculpting. I felt awkward as I was casually dressed and was holding my skateboard so I made small talk with this lady near me. She was the manager from Coolsculpting. She was an attractive lady in her 30's with curly hair and nice smile....she was very professional and told me Coolscultping was for abdominal fat loss. (I did not know exactly what it was.) I then showed her a "goof off" picture that the doctor's nurse took a few weeks ago of my plastic surgeon and I. Mind you, my doctor and I are friendly and have a good sense of humor. (The picture was of my standing shirtless in the clinic. I was flexing my abs and obliques in my jeans, while the doctor was seated next to me, examining and looking like he was working on my torso with a large syringe ...it came off as a goof off picture like he was "sculpting" a torso. Both my doctor and I both also struck "serious-looking" Dr 90210 poses.) The picture came off even "better" as I just had a heavy morning workout on an empty stomach so I had very defined 8 pack abs showing. In NO way do I mean to sound arrogant at all but due to genetics, I've always had abs (being skinny helps) but I do not look naturally like this (8 pack look) unless I had been fasting, had no sodium the day before, flexing hard etc. Her eyes widened and she said, "OMG! Can you send that picture to me so I can show all my co-workers?" I told her I could text her it that was okay with her? She then takes my phone and puts her phone number in and then checked her phone to make sure she got the picture. She then was very friendly and gave me her card, introduced herself and asked my name. I was feeling all weird as i didn't know if she was hitting on me. She asked if they could put that picture on their social media in the future as a fitness model who got coolsculpting (or success story) as they don't have many male clients and this was a truly excellent result. The conversation was so fast that I didn't correct her that I have NEVER had coolsculpting. I thought the conversation was a bit weird or too friendly. I kept thinking of her a lot after the conversation. I noticed she is from out of town from her business card. My question is: What is going on here....she gave me her own phone number (it's different from the business card)? Should I ask her out to go skateboarding or something fun or to talk more about "coolscultpting"? I don't want to misread her signs and freak her out. Link to comment
happyfrank Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Sounds like she doesn't have any romantic interest. She was just networking and wants to use your picture as ad for her site. Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Try something a bit more appropriate like asking her to go for coffee, lunch, a drink, etc...see what she says. Only way to find out, right?Should I ask her out to go skateboarding Link to comment
agent1607307371 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 She's networking. She was at the party doing her job. She was asking if her company could use your photo to lie about their product. Link to comment
Dottieflanogon Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 She could be interested..This might be her excuse to get your number.It's hard to know for sure from the interaction you had alone.Ask her out for something low key like a coffee date.Time will tell Link to comment

Only way to find out, right? Thank you. The more I think about the replies here, the more I think she was just being "nice" to me. Initially, I was thinking of having her play "Word with friends" with me, then going to the skatepark BUT people are right....She didn't ask me out for coffee so I'm going to keep quiet.

She was asking if her company could use your photo to lie about their product. Thank you. I think I'm already in a "rabbit hole" as she said she would ask the clinic coordinator for the "before" picture. I didn't correct her I don't have any "before" pictures for Coolsculpting (as I'm not overweight). Link to comment
Maybach Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thank you. She has my picture in a text message. She said she will show it to her co-workers. I'll see if she contacts me about posting it on their social media before casually asking if she wants to play a 2 player video-game (Angry Birds? Mario Kart Challenge?) with me (since she is out on the West Coast and I'm in the Midwest) as a way to stay in touch. She may be back in the West Coast by now (too late to ask her for the local skatepark). Link to comment
Capricorn3 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 She's networking. She was at the party doing her job. She was asking if her company could use your photo to lie about their product. This. I didn't see anything remotely which would indicate she was interested in getting together. Should I ask her out to go skateboarding I'm trying to get a visual of a 40 something, standing with his skateboard, asking a 30 something to go skateboarding, lol. OP, I'm not too sure you'll get lucky with this one. Link to comment
boltnrun Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Don't you have any date ideas other than playing video games together? I thought you'd cut back on the video game obsession. Link to comment

It's always fun to gear up skateboarding in the fall, cause you get your balance ready for snowboarding (both have transferable skill). And I was thinking of asking if she wanted to get ice cream from this ice cream place and then go to the skate park to watch me do some skateboard tricks. Link to comment

Maybach Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Don't you have any date ideas other than playing video games together? I thought you'd cut back on the video game obsession. I chucked the "marathon" video games and then ended spending ALL my time at the gym to avoid going back to cleaning my place because my roommate doesn't clean. (My roommate keeps playing video games everyday. I don't know if this is connected with the state of the dirty dishes and pasta in his room, but I smashed 5 f***rickin flies in the bathroom...I'm mad and embarassed) So, I thought about going to the local ice cream shop and walking by the skate park and I can do some skateboarding moves? But I have to admit I'm not very good at all this with what women like. Link to comment
Maybach Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 ok, that made day! lol. The skating beagle was pretty funny....if you haven't skateboarded, it's NOT easy especially if you go fast. Link to comment
Maybach Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Is she twelve? No, she's like 30. I like ice cream (pizza and ice cream is something I like maybe too much!!!) so I thought I would ask her since ice cream is more casual than pizza hut or somepizza delivery to my place.

I would have to say that on the good side, I'm no longer playing video games. On the bad side, I feel like it's a bad dream. My roommate keeps playing video games and eats his spaghetti right in his room and the state of the place is getting bad to worse. I don't know if its the weather being colder or if it's from my roommate's dirty dishes all over his room and laundry but I came back to FIVE huge flies in the bathroom. I got so angry for some reason and snatched a wooden back/ loofah thing and whacked them dead. I've been kinda upset so I gave up cleaning my room too. Ugh. I'm can't deal with living, sleeping and showering with this mess. Link to comment
JaggerJim Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'm not sure about the "ice-cream and watching you do skate-board moves". Does she strike you as the type that would be into it? Link to comment
Maybach Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'm not sure about the "ice-cream and watching you do skate-board moves". Does she strike you as the type that would be into it? I honestly don't know but I enjoy ice cream and skateboarding plus anything physical like snowboarding. But it's better and more casual than my original idea of me cooking her something like Mac and Cheese ....it would be too soon and I don't wanna appear weird. She still hasn't texted me after she got my picture like she asked. I suspect that people here are right that she was just doing work for her Coollsculpting business (even though she gave me her personal phone number). Link to comment
JaggerJim Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Have you text her at all since that encounter? She could be sitting by her phone, waiting for your text. Link to comment
katrina1980 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 ] Thank god I just swallowed my tea before I saw this.... LMAO! Link to comment
abitbroken Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 She isn't interested in you. She is there to create new business and client relationships. She is not interested in a date. I would not contact her. He number is in your phone so if she texts for permission for the photo, she can get ahold of you. But no matter what - if you DO meet someone where there is a spark - you actually go to coffee/have more interaction and they live farther away do NOT keep in touch by playing a video game together. Suggest another in person meet when you go to their town on business or pleasure or start TALKING on the phone. If you are 17, that's okay, but if you are 40 - that is not a selling point for you as a boyfriend. Link to comment
boltnrun Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 No, do not invite her for mac and cheese! These seem to be your only date ideas...go to your house so you can make mac and cheese for her (horrible idea for a first date! Plus, didn't you say your place is a mess?), play video games together (unless she's a gamer or games as a hobby, this won't interest her, plus your place for first date = bad idea), or watching you do skateboard moves (along with a bunch of 12 year olds...sorry, but no). How about coffee? Or ice cream (but forget the skate park)? It seems to me like you got stuck at about age 14 and haven't progressed beyond that age with your interests. Possible? Link to comment
