Field report 25 June 2011
I started the evening off with a lot of negative energy and fearing that I wouldn't get results but it seems rejection wakes me up, it gets me going. After a few rejections I had decided that if I didnt get results I would stay behind and so some club game on my own although this didnt happen as I did get results.
I got 6 number closes and I had given my number to one set as she had said to me to give my number to her instead. so 7-ish but I dont think anything will come of it. I think about 3 of them were solid. The Jackal told me that I should never let them take my number as it's not very alpha male, oh well. This time I know it's 6 as I tested all of em.
First successful set I did worked at a place I worked at before so we made small talk on how shit it was, tried to get some tension with the little silences (I okay with these now where as before I couldn't take it). So I asked for her number. She didn't ask why she just gave it to me, I tested the phone number and as I was testing it I said “if this is fake Ima beat you down”, I think Ill use that more often. We hugged and I moved on.
The Jackal had told me to use two new routines that I kept forgetting when I was in set and each time I had finished a set I kept FORGETTING AHHH.
He also kept reminding me to to introduce myself first but I kept forgetting about that too, I kept just going straight in with an opinion. As the night went on I started introducing my self first then start the conversation. I'm also saying more alpha male things like “you girls are so fucking cute” although I say if like “cos I think you girls are so fucking... (pause and look them up and down) *insert nice word here*” to make it sound more like I've just made it up.
I also kept forgetting to voice record my sets although I did record one of the ones that gave me her number but I don't think I performed well so I won't post it. The rest of the “team” can have a listen if they would like! Listening to it now I think I talk too fast in set because I'm nervous. In this one especially my words get muddled up as a result of talking to fast and at one point I don't let her finish what she was saying. Not sure why she gave me her number... maybe it's because I'm so fucking good looking haha. So yeah, we chatted about piercings for a while, I noticed that she had little holes in her lip so I asked about it. So when silence came I just said “do you wanna gimme your number?!” and she said “ALRIGHT!”.
At this point Jackal shouted "NOTTINGHAM! NOTTINGHAM! NOTTINGHAM!" the name of the simple routine he has been trying to get me to do but I'd kept genuinely forgetting to do in set.
So I said "right well nice talking to you, this is how we say bye in Nottingham"
*goes in for a kiss on the lips*
she turns her head, so I kissed her cheek.
she said "I thought you said you were from Stafford?"
me: "yeah I was born in Nottingham!" (not true)
So i walked in front of her and said "okay lets have a real hug" and hugged her and left!
The best set yesterday was a two set on there way to a club of some sort, was also a set I approached with little of Jackals say-so. I pointed towards them to say I was going to approach but he didn't actually command me to do it which was good since this seeking approval from Jackal to approach is a bit of a problem.
I opened with *snap fingers* “stop here! I need to ask you guys a quick question”
her: okay
me: *holds out hand* “Im ******”
her: *still holding her hands close to her*
me: Shake my hand!
her: *shakes my hand*
me: I come from ***** and Im a *******
them: *introduce themselves with their names*
me: so yeah my question is who laughs more men or women?
them: women! I think women laugh more but men are funny, they make us laugh
me: this is true... Im not into female comedians but... what's that show? On channel 4 called ***** or ***** or is it ******
her: ohhh yeah we know what youre on about we watch that show
me: really! Its really rare that you find girls that actually watch comedy
them: *nod their heads in agreement *
me: yeah as I was saying theres a black girl on there that makes me laugh all the time and she like only female comedian that's actually funny to me
them: *talks about some female comedian that Id never heard of*
me: Ive never heard of her...
them: omgomgomgomg never heard of her blah blah
me: haha okay I might look her up one time if you say shes worth my time
them: mhm she is
me: well I think my favourite new comedian at the moment is *******, hes good at improvisation
them: *nodded in agreement* yeah
me: so yeah are you guys out tonight?
them: yeah were going out now
me: where you going?
her: guess
me: *****
girl: *nods* yeah!
me: oh wait have you just got your hair cut?
her: yeah!
me: ah looks... alright.
them: *laugh with open mouths*
me: well ive never actually been there but ive been told its where I need to be
her: yeah we like it
me: ah im not going out tonight but are you girls out next Friday?
them: yeah maybe could do
me: hmmm well gimme your numbers and we can meet up next friday at ****
them: looks at each other wide eyed
me: okay ill make it easy for you ill take out my phone *takes out phone* and ill let you put the number in
her: took the phone and put her number in
me: im holding you guys to that
her: we will be there!
I sense theyre moving away slowly to end the interaction
me: wait! Hey I need your number too! (HB8 who did less of the talking) Think youre just going to walk away...
me: gives phone and she puts her number in. right well nice talking to you *hugs both*
jackal came in at this point and said a few things, and then challenged her to pick me up she attempted and couldnt, then he challenged me to pick her up and I shook my head and said “nah shes too heavy look shes HUGE”. (She wasn't at all)
so they did their little fake -omg cant believe you said that were going now- thing that girls do. So I randomly went and hugged her again and she hugged me back and we rolled off.
This girl texted me that same night.
I'll finish with one more set. A five set. I approached and did the snapping finger thing and asked if I could ask them a quick question.
I let my hand out to shake all their hands and as I was doing this I was saying where I was from etc.
As I got to girl3 one of them said something like “girl you look as if he was going to bite your hand off or something!”
me: *laughs hysterically* rght so... who laughs more men or women?
Them: *gave their opinions*
All through the interaction they all kept saying how weird it was that I approached them and I kept saying things like “as if... you guys get spoken to all the time!”
them: *shake their heads*
me: you guys look as if youre in shock!
Girl: im nervous this hasnt happened before
me: omg how can you be nervous, I'm one guy and there is four of you, you could all take me!
Actually... probably not
girl: *shakes head*
So I tried to rinse out whatever conversation I could get out of these frozen-like-a-hare-stuck-in-headlights-of-a-truck girls, but silence came and I just said “soo... gimme your numbers!”
Well, now thinking about it, not all of them were like this. One of them had the widest smile on her face throughout the interaction and I told her this in set as well. Another black girl in the set (quite manly and witty too) kept putting in funny remarks into the conversation.
They never said no to the numbers and I'm not sure if this was going well or not. I took out my phone and said I'd make it easy for them all and held out my phone. They all seemed like they didnt want to take it in fear of negative evaluation from the girls they were with. I decided to just take her hand and put my phone in it. She looked at her friend and said “you first”. Her friend put her number in and as I was going to get the other ones number but one of them started walking away. I attempted to get them to stay but I couldn't and they reluctantly walked off. So I think that could have been three numbers if I played it right but I only got one.
Overall it was a good time!

Any POSITIVE feedback for my growing self esteem would be good!
