Sup guys,
Haven't written a FR in a while. Here's one hot off the presses. I'll keep it barebones so you won't have to skim. It's quite short and to the point.
I spot a woman at the subway station. G= me. F = her
Opener
G: Hi! I'm guessing that you are...Indian?
F: [looks surprised] Oh, yeah! Well...half, on my dad's side. The rest is European
G: Yeah I definitely saw it...it's the brilliant brown eyes
F: Well thank you!
*I introduce myself and we shake hands*
G: Do you think if we stare at the tracks the train will come faster?
Transition onto the Train
G: Hey, are you going the same way?
F: Yeah
G: Okay, lets grab a seat! [we sit next to each other. she crosses her leg towards me]
Mid-Set
F: Yeah, I played the harp and the piano
G: Let me see your hand [she reaches out her hand. I feel her fingertips for callouses. Looked at her hand while I was doing it. My mistake.]
G: You don't have any callouses!
F: Yeah, I didn't stick with it for very long
*Note: I gave frequent small touches here and there to her upper arm, shook her hand multiple times, and occasionally patted the side of her thigh with the back of my hand when making points. Been working on introducing more touch into interactions.
*Seed Date* - Here's where I have a question
G: So what do you do for fun?
F: [She retracts both lips and looks ahead as if thinking. I wait for 3-ish seconds] I dunno, I just hang out with friends or something.
G: Well do you play billiards?
F: Yeah I do play!
G: Alright, well then I'll have to crush you in a match! You're won't cry will you?
F: No haha, I'm not a cry-er
*In retrospect, it seemed as if she was either withholding something...or displeased with that question...or maybe she just pulls both her lips back when she thinks...
End
G: My stop's coming up. Let me take your number so we can set up that match!
F: Okay....[my phone is having technical issues, we resolve it]...you can just text me your name or something

I sent her a text three hours later.

No response yet (and that was three hours ago). I don't expect one since they usually come within three hours.
I wonder what gave her pause when I asked her what she does for fun? Have any of you guys noticed a trend from that sort of reaction?
