Success! Sam wasn't the most skilled at making moves - sometimes he thought he'd managed it successfully, only to find that the woman was oblivious. Sometimes he tried and found himself shot down. On the occasions when it worked, he was always slightly bewildered, and that was certainly true now.
Which was not to say that he lacked ideas about what to do next.
