So today was one of those beautifully bright days that seems to make everyone happier and gets the girls flocking out. In keeping with my feeling this morning that today was going to be a good day, work finished early and I was out of the office by 1. I'm based at Hyde Park corner at the moment, and rather than bus it home today I decided to take a stroll through the park. As I did so, headphones blearing, staring out through the tint of my sunglasses I noticed a lot of really beautiful women and something inside just resolved to do something about it!
I passed by numerous approachable sets, sometimes being too nervous sometimes thinking that I could find better. Eventually I came across a HB9 sitting by herself, with a book, her bicycle and shoes strewn across the grass. She was perfect, everything I find attractive in a woman, touch of exotic colouring, slimly built but with generously sized breast and big eyes. I sat down nearby (yes, I know, but it’s harder doing it then reading about doing it!) and opened up my own book thinking about how to work this. As I looked up I could see the thong of this stunning girl riding up above her jeans, her cool as a cucumber, munching on an apple. My nerves felt like that apple...
Nonetheless, I’ve read the theory, I know the 3 second rule, and do I got up and took a step towards her. I told myself I’d open with who lies more, basing it on the fact that loads of women seem to lie in the Sherlock Holmes collection to save the honour of their man. But at that moment I finally understood what approach anxiety was, my heart thundered, my legs stopped and I was stuck there like a statue! I tried to style it out by acting as though I was looking around, then set down and pretended to talk on the phone to a friend saying loudly that I thought I'd seen him and where was he? I then placed a 5 minute alarm on my phone, when it rang I
WOULD approach…
The alarm went off, I took it like a call from my friend and said I'd just come to him instead, packing up my book into my bag. I walked past her "hung up" and turned round as if I'd just noticed her. "
“Hi, I can only stay a minute since I'm on my way to my friends, but I could use a quick female opinion on something."
I sat down next to her as I said this, taking off my shades and trying to hide how afraid I was. Then something wonderful happened, she smiled like she was glad I was there, this girl who I’d have thought of as way out of my league seemed happy to have me there! I ran the jealous girlfriend on her, just like I’d read it, then as I made to get up I ‘
noticed’ her U shaped smile.
From here I asked her what she was doing here. She said just taking a break from revision at her boyfriends. My heart sunk. I have a girlfriend, and I’ve told myself I’m in the game to make female friends since I’m happy in my relationship. But still I felt disappointed.
From here I should have mentioned my girlfriend, hung out with her and made the friend I’d wanted, getting her number. Instead, I carried on gaming her, apparently I wanted more than friendship. A break from revision? I’d just graduated. Studying politics? What did she think about the hung election? Actually I don’t want to know, too boring

DHVd talking about my travels, played a trick on her I’d learnt from Style which involved drawing over her arm. She loved it!
Then I made my excuses and left. I know! I guess I was caught up in the thrill of having opened successfully on my first ever attempt and fear of ruining it. Also I have to admit I was disappointed that she was off the market, which means perhaps admitting more to myself. Nonetheless I’m happy with my opening salvo into the world of pickup. Onwards and upwards!
