Post subject:  What went wrong here?

OK, so firstly the good news. I got my first number close on the third day of sarging.
I walked up to a girl and asked her about sight-seeing in london, and she said she's not from here, and I asked here where shes from, and she said german. I speak german, so we chatted, and that was an instant connection. After about 5 mins she asked me whether I have facebook, and I said, just give me your number, and she put her number in my phone. The end.

OK, so the other two sets I approached today didnt go so well. My second set was a two-set, and they were walking. Here's how it went.

Traveler: Hey guys, quick question. What places are good for sight-seeing around here in London?

HB7: Are you kidding me? (we were in Covent Garden, a major tourist area)
Traveler: Well, I'm only here for a few weeks, and I wanted to get most out of London.
HB7: Well there's bla, bla, bla, around the corner...blabla.
Traveler: OK. Are you from London?
HB7: ...I'm from outside of London.
Traveler: Oh cool. Where?
HB7: Blabla
Traveler: Oh I have a friend from there, I've actually always wanted to go there.
HB7: ...OK. We're actually going to work right now.
Traveler: Oh ok...well thanks anyway!
HB7: Yeah.

So. They weren't really giving me a lot. But I don't want to blame it on them. It was my game.

So how could I have actually gotten them interested in me? They were definitely not going to work, they were shopping. Unless they work in a store.
They did stop to talk to me, and I did open over the shoulder and stood at an angle, leaned back, etc. Did I telegraph too much interest? It feels like the "I have a friend bit" seemed to really alienate her, or at least didn't get a response out of them at all. Like, some random guy telling me he's got a friend from there.

I pretty much didn't know what else to say at that moment. Any ideas?

You know what happened?

You had met a set that was not interested. And guess what? You will meet these sets again :0 part of the game. Don't blame yourself for this.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I guess they really weren't interested. But, is there any workaround for this at all in field in daygame?

You could try being more interesting. You're conversation with those two is the kind of small talk you'd have with an old lady at the grocery store or a stranger in an elevator. Boring!

You've got to show a little personality.

Stop asking so many questions about them, let them open up to you. Make an interesting statement, something unexpected. Could have said "wow london is a bit overrated.." they may bite and start defending it, trying to justify it etc. Your instantly in a much better conversation where you can neg their opinions etc. and they are voluntarily participating.
