WB and KB bring up the direct boldness factor somewhat.
A friend from my previous job I haven’t talked to in a while texted me today. She’s leaving and was asking me about logistics if returning a certain piece of equipment.
I didn’t have the number she used. Since it’s newer number apparently. So asked who it is. Thought it was a scammer at first.
She is being let go, so I said “I’ll just hire you as my hawt receptionist/scheduler for my hypnosis practice.”
Then a bit of other small talk and I said “ I’m saving your number. Send me a pic I can use for the contact”.
