Ok
Firstly did he see you do it or was he too busy listening?
Secondly had you a strong paying attention state?

This is good, however:
Firstly did you engage in that passion yourself
2) When he got really excited and you slid the pen up - did you get
excited
And say something like "Wow your so excited about this"...
3)Did you anchor a spot when he was quiet less passionate
Pulling the pen backward
You becoming less pationate with all your sensess
Perhaps even sayin "well I feel quite neutral about that"
Now with the anchor set, you could fire it at any point, remembering
to change your state accordingly

If you had ensured some of the above you would have got a response
with the pen, I'm not so sure about the ear anchor.
Try this little exercise when you meet people
Go into a very relaxed open state and watch the response
Then change your state to an excited one - whilst engaging them in
conversation
Again watch the response.
Then go inside to aquite reflective state
Watch the resonse...
Let me know how you Get on....

Thats is actually whats happening - if you pace and lead her whilst
firing the anchor and bringing your state up her state will also
improve, however it might not be instant, depending on her current
state..
Again try the exercise above and let us know what happen!
