Since I am (officially, there was a big ceremony and all) a week into the Game, and a little wiser, I thought why not give this speed dating thing a try again (last time was about a couple of years bac, too much wine, not enough ticks, not much to bother). Lets see it from a different angle here, game the women who come to your table. In some ways, the 3 minutes one can get (to make an impression) is perhaps the perfect time to dazzle someone with a clever opener, or show them that yes, you mean business.
Here is what I am planning:
Attire: Black Jeans, haven't decided on a shirt, probably black shirt or T-shirt. Black jacket, black shoes. I think this is too emo, might switch to white shirt or something more eye-catching if I can find something in shops. Also thinking of a hat, one of those Frank Sinatra hat.
Openers: Canned openers can work best here, since everyone is in a way, pre-rehearsed. A few I can think of (of he top of my head):
- So, what brings you here today? If they question you abouot the same thing, say, oh, it was on my shopping list (show them a crumpled piece of paper), and say it was something you had to do. OR say, you were here for a Pimp convention, but clearly got lost.
- So do you come here often? Might cause a surprise and perhaps evil eyes, havent thought this through.
- (Since its a lock and key event) I used to work as a locksmith, or work as a locksmith. This sort of even is my favourite.
Social Circle: It is highly likely I will be going alone, which I am quite happy with SPAM. I was thinking as I enter, or within a few minutes, walk around introducing me to everyone (women). Was thinking of using my pseudinym (PRINCE), would that work? I could say 'Raj', but imo, that gives stereotypical images to people. Or so I believe. Atleast this way they would remember me.
The questions for you:
What is the protocol on taking numbers and what not?
Anything else I should keep in mind?
Is it ok to invade other sets?
Since the age range is 24-40 (and I am 23), I am slightly intimidated by older women. Any pointers? Should I drop in the conversation that I am 23?
Anyways, this is just a high overview of things, I will drop in more questions as and when they arise. Please answer/give suggestions regarding clothing/openers and what not.
Mucho appreciated.
Prince.
