Recently, I was quite interested in Day Game, as I was supposed to go on a vacation this week, so I wanted to try it. Anyway, I got a few guys to give me some basic pointers and I had been going out since Monday, trying to get a handle on it. It all came down in a perfect conglomeration today.
The scene...
Central Market, New Delhi
Time...
12.15 PM to 4.00 PM
I walked out of the metro station and as I descended down the stairs my first thought was to get the AA out of the way, so as luck would have it a pretty HBHeels was standing typing or something on her mobile. I popped a clove in my mouth (two reasons: It's a great mouth freshener and their relative harshness puts me in a mood), walked up to her and said:
Me: Hey, I'm sorry to be interrupting you but I am visiting Delhi and I have to admit I don't know much about the market. So, if you could give me some.. pointers.. I'd appreciate that.
And it led to a lot of blah-blah-blah from her side, telling me about where to go, how to bargain and shit like that. I made some conversation, asked her about where she was from, what was she doing here today, was she waiting for her boyfriend or something (she was). Anyway, I got what I wanted from this interaction, touched her on the shoulder (Incidental Class 1; DiCarlo Escalation Ladder), told her bye. Used her name. Now, I love doing this, she hadn't given me her name, so how did I get it? Simple, I noticed things about her clothes, her accessories and she had a beads keychain with letters arranged in her name. She was pleasantly surprised.
ALWAYS OBSERVE. WOMEN APPRECIATE MEN MAKING "SMALL" OBSERVATIONS.
Now, moved on..
Entered towards the main market are, got a cigarette and smoked it off pretty quickly. Saw a group of two girls walking in front of me. Let's call them HBElephant and HBFakeAccent. So, I walked up a bit ahead, turned my face to look at a window display. Caught the HBFakeAccent looking at me. Stopped. Let them walk a bit towards me. About 6-7 feet away, turned around and..
Me: Hello! I am new here and I am afraid to say that I might be a bit lost. Could you, wonderful ladies, help me a bit?
Opener completed with a slightly embarrassed smile. Women love that.
Anyway, more crappy conversation about directions. Couldn't take more mind-numbing. So..
Me:Yeah, something I have to confess here.
HBFakeAccent: What?
Me: I wasn't lost. I thought you were cute and I wanted to get a chance to talk to you.
Nothing. Both of them had poker faces. I wired my trap shut.
HBElephant: Awww! That's so cute!
Me: (shrugged for effect) Thanks. Can't blame a man for trying. Your friend here is gorgeous.
I think the elephant squealed and the fake accent blushed. Awesome!
Anyway, I made some convo, walked with them for a while, she brought me a new leather belt! Then, she put her number in my phone and said she had to go. Whatever. Got what I wanted. Light hug (Overt Class 2; DiCarlo Escalation Ladder). Goodbye.
So, on we move..
Now, I made a couple of rounds of the market to browse for some cheap polo tees and well, the shop I was interested in was closed. However, I made eye-contact three or four times with the same three group of girls. I got a good situation opener there..
Saw them again. Made eye-contact. Grinned. Walked over..
Me: You know, after the last time I saw you guys, I swore I wouldn't just.. walk by.. again.
Stopped 'em. Giggling women. Low on brain matter. Almost bimbos to an extent. I tagged with them for a while till my brain couldn't take it any longer, and I ejected.
Went to a local food joint. Saw a pretty smartly dressed woman, by herself sitting and eating lunch.
Now, I always advocate reading books. No. Not pick-up related mind-drabble but smart, intelligent works. Fictional and Non-Fictional. You get ideas.
I immediately remembered The Day of The Jackal, walked up to her and said that since she was alone and so was I, and asked if I might take have my lunch with her. Maybe, she was surprised, shocked, never had that experience.. whatever. She just looked at me and nodded.
I quietly had my lunch and about half-way through, I looked up and found that I'd caught her looking at me. Give her a smile and asked about her day. There. Two strangers sitting on a table. Making conversation. I really, really wish people would look at "pick-up" and see how simple it can be. She didn't give me her number, I didn't press for it. It was a nice meal with a wonderful woman. Sometimes, that's enough.
Then, I took the train back home.
Now, the important point. Why I didn't press for numbers? I am screwed logistically , I am staying with my relatives and they are extremely good people who take care of me, but they are also very annoying with their whole "need to know" about my whereabouts. So, going for a lay is out of question. Also, the numbers are useless since I am leaving for home on Sunday morning, and I won't return till next year.
That aside, this was a great day. I had success with all my approaches and in all my interactions.
Paramount21, I hope you're reading this.
cooltoad, I hope you're reading this.
Don Juan J012, I hope you're reading this.
I am an Indian (mostly, anyway) and I "gamed", as you like to call it, Indian women IN India. It's not impossible. All I focused on was she's a woman and I am a man. And frankly, that was all I needed to work with. The rest are all details.
This is a big "Fuck You" to guys who make excuses based on "culture" and "tradition" grounds. Grow up. Buy some balls. Women are as open as the West, you just need to approach it the right way.
Now, breakdown of my "game" :
Openers: Indirect openers about directions, places to see and all that. Direct openers used as a part of mid-convo.
Mid-Game: Frankly, maintained eye-contact, kept my tonality in check and used variations in the conversation while changing topics at my behest to express dominance over the interaction.
Closing: I got a girl to put her number in, even without my mentioning to keep in touch or anything. Just goes to show how ,if you're successful in making her feel amazing, she will ,on her own, like to be in touch with you.
Well, remember the basics. Day Game is all about keep it low-energy (compared to the night scene), emphasizing more on conversation, and keep kino within an acceptable range. It's a slow burn, but it's 'peaceful' ,if you get what I mean. It could be played in extended interactions, like I did here OR like a mass numbers game, like say Paul Janka does. Both can work. Up to you to choose.
That's all folks!
