Day 1:
Went out to the mall after working out at the gym and did the
The Newbie Mission today!
Hit up the local mall around 5:15pm. I started just cruising around the mall with no particular plan. I figured I'd just do the mission, it seemed easy enough. I told myself that I wouldnt leave until i greeted 10 women and 5 had to be attractive. (figured itd be too easy to walk around saying hey to every fat or old lady i saw)
I quickly hit some resistance, most of the women were talking on their phones or had headphones in! I decided to just not bother with them. Next I found that most of the women weren't make eye contact with me and it just seemed a bit weird to just say hey to them when the were passing me and not looking at me.
Finally i found a woman who made i contact with me so I smiled and greeted her with a cheerful "Hey!". She smiled back and returned the greeting. Success!... but it didn't count toward the 5.
I felt really silly just saying hi to girls and decided i needed to take a different approach.
Even before learning about pick-up i had thought the cologne approach was a good idea but had never tried it. I was going to give it a shot! So i walked into macys, sprayed some of the new prada on one wrist and Mont Blanc Legend on the other.
Back to cruising the mall... had more trouble trying to find women to approach. They all seemed preoccupied and looked like they didnt want to be bothered, so I decided it was time to start going into stores.
Went into sunglass hut and started trying on sunglasses, a cute girl came in and i joked with her about some silly looking glasses and then asked her for her opinion on the cologne. We talked and flirted for a while and then i excused myself to talk with the cute sales associate. After the first girl left, i then asked the sales associate for her opinion. We talked and joked for a while and then i said i had to go so she gave me her card. Not bad.
Next i walked over to Spencer's and messed around in there for a while, and as I was leaving so was a cute girl with TONS of piercings and tattoos (she had been checking out the lingerie when i saw her in the store). I slowed my pace a bit and she began to pass me. I looked over, smiled and said "hey could i get your opinion on something?" she seemed a bit surprised at first but quickly agreed. She liked the mont blanc. I thanked her and split off in another direction.
Next I went to the tea shop and tried some free samples and then with a smile I said to the cute tea girl "hey, now i want to get your thoughts on something. I'm trying out two new colognes and I'm having trouble deciding which one to get. Which one do you like better?" She was having trouble deciding. A pretty good looking asian girl was standing near by and overheard me and came over and said "oh, let me help you out." She smelled my wrists and decided on the prada. the tea girl then made up her mind on the prada to. I thanked them and left.
I went into Guess and looked around at some stuff, grabbed a fedora and went up to the Hot blonde sales associate and jokingly said "Hey, does wearing this hat make me look like justin timberlake?" She smiled and said, "do you want to look like justin?" "Dunno, i just saw it and wanted to see if I could pull it off" "yeah. I think you could pull it off," she said and smiled again. I put the hat back, cruised around the store a bit and as i was leaving I said "hey could i get your opinion on something before i leave?" she liked the mont blanc better. She also had a British accent and we talked for several minutes about Europe and wheres shes lived and what not. We flirted a bit and I thanked her for her time and left the store.
It was now close to 7pm and I decided it was time to leave. As i was heading out I saw two cute brunette girls. 1 short 1 tall. I walked over to them and used the opener on them and the short one gave a confused smile and said "is this a joke?". I shrugged it off and with a smile said, "no, im completely serious, come on and help me out". They both liked the mont blanc , i thanked them and headed home.
Mont Blanc overwhelmingly won that contest and i discovered that I have a hard time approaching girls unless I have a reason to engage them.
