FR: 27th August 2011
Well, I was quite busy with work today, and wasn't planning to come out till later, since I had a prior engagement. I got a call from Jackal to come out, and you know I couldn't just refuse the man, so off I went to the Slug.
Once I got there I caught up with Jackal and saw a two set, one HB10 brunette and another HB7 blonde. I started speaking with them with an opinion opener, I was feeling really good today, so I was kinoing more naturally that I usually would, I would usually remind myself ok I've got to look into her eyes (the brunette's eyes were blue and the blondes were blue as well), touch her arms slightly not in a too creepy way in a casual playful way, you know the stuff we as puas in training are suppose to do, I felt really good, Diamonds came in so we winged each other, we found out through talking that they both were teachers, the blonde teaches french and shes from France and the brunette teaches spanish, I stuck with the blonde and Diamonds went with the brunette, I found out she was recently divorced and hated men at that current time, we laughed about that for a while, but I felt that the conversation was driving away from what my goal was, and I realized this, I also realized that i wasn't seducing her, instead I was friending her, I did feel like it was possible for number close so I left. I can tell you. Ow that this is a huge mistake, people never do this, I can say this, I learned that if you think that oranges taste like oranges without trying them good for you, but you'll regret not having them, for all you know that could be a lie and they are apples instead, but you won't know till you take a bite. So in this case I should have gone for the number close regardless if I felt it was good or not.
I met up with jackal in the outer area of the slug, there there was a two set seated so I engaged them, I carried out my usual routine and got on with it. S I did an opinion opener and started talking about who they were, they both were HB 10/9s, again a blonde and brunette, but I saw that the brunette wasn't very involved with the conversation, our conversations drifted towards what our work was like, i couldn't remember the brunette's occupation, but I remember that the blonde was a desk police woman, I was intrigued with her work so I flowed into how she felt about it, she told me that if she saw a policeman she liked she would search his badge number to find out everything about him, I played on that saying that she wasn't respectful of privacy lol, by this time Jackal and Diamond had to call it a night so I said my good bye to them and carried on with this set, it didn't carry one much from there, they had to leave and meet up with friends, so I went in for the number close with the blonde but found out she had a boyfriend, so I said my goodbye and let them go on their way. I felt good about this set as my conversation skill were good, but I still feel I need to escalate properly and efficiently.
Now that Jackal and Diamond had left I had a but if time in my hand before I had to meet up with some other friends outside of the pua scene, I made my way to the mailbox to kill time at Bar Room Bar, I sat out side and a two set approached the table where I was sitting they said that it was directly underneath the heater, which it was, lucky me

. So I saw this as an opportunity to approach them with my trusty opinion opener and so I began my solo set. I remember they pointed out that they had kids at home and that it was a night out from just the two of them, one had black hair while the other had red hair, so I said to them ah ok so your husbands are looking after them tonight, to while the black hair lady said yes to this, while the red head said that she had a sitter looking after hers, so I found out that she was single, lock, aim and fire. So I focused in her, kinoing her slowly and escalating, I was wearing my glasses at this time, and they found it fascinating they wanted to try them on, so I thought why not, and the moment they tried them on they wanted a picture with me, so each of them had a picture taken with me, now I learn from the last time I was out that this can be reversed, as I see you having your picture taken with someone or you taking pictures with other using other people's cameras and you not being in them is compliance on your end and they take control of the situation. So I said to them ok now that you've taken a picture I need to take a picture now, so I wack out my phone and get a picture taken with me and my target. After which it came to that time I had to leave to meet up with my friends so I told them I had to leave and they were headed back inside as well, I stopped the red head, by the way she was a hb9, and said that your fucking beautiful and I want your number, and surely she complied. My first solo sarge number close I'm well proud of that.
So I left after that and went to meet up with my friends, I can say that this was one of my more fun nights, one number close in a period of 2 hours but it was on my own, thanks Jackal for teaching me.
