Hey guys,
This is my report on my very first day in field ever. I'm usually a complete AFC at nightclubs, but after watching the Show, and ready MM book, decided to give this all a try. Will appreciate your feedback.
-------
Stumbled around the venue for 30 minutes looking for a "perfect set" to open. Huge approach anxiety. Rehearsing openers in my head, can't approach anyone. Also, the place was way to loud to work in. The only quiet spots were the far corners and, basically, there was no way to imitate indirect openers without looking needy.
Yet, while waiting at the bar near the mentioned corner, managed to open a 6 set of girls (6–8s) by helping them take a picture. The result was quite surprising, they started introducing themselves, the whole set, touching, grabbing, etc. Completely lost control of the set. Then one of them, while introducing her friend said that this friend thinks I'm cute. Did not have a solid response for that, so said the first thing that popped into my mind: “I also think I'm cute.” The reaction was a loud “Oh, fuck you!” (not mean, but not playful either), and I lost the set.
Few minutes later, tried David Bowie opener on one of the girls separated from the set, but right after the question “Do you think he's hot?,” she grabbed my face with her hands, said “Why the fuck should I care?,” and I lost her. Maybe the set was high or something; they seamed very ADHD.

While standing in line for coat-check, opened a 2 set (a guy and a 7) with the MM Fight opener. This one went smoothly, but I soon realized that they were dating each other and rolled off after exchanging names.

When leaving the club, a girl in line asked why am I so dressed up (new avatar
. Again, had no idea what to say and answered: “Because I'm awesome?” Hard to say how she reacted, because I, being not satisfied with my answer, left quickly.---
Well, I guess for the very first time playing the Game, it wasn't so bad. After all I did meet more people than I usually do at such places

Self-suggestions:
- Should've used an FTC after taking a picture, maybe, that would calm them down a bit.
- Failed negging.
- Need a response to “My friend thinks you're cute” and “Why are you so dressed up?”
- Must follow 3 seconds rule
- Must find a better place
Any ideas what I should've or shouldn't have done? Thanks in advance.
. Yet, yesterday I've seen that canned material can help me overcome some of the usual freezing up. Maybe, as I progress, I'll adjust my game, but for now MM sounds pretty good.
