Hi Everyone !
I'm new here, you can check my background at the Thread/Topic I created in the Introduction Section of the Forum
I don't know if it might help, but anyways ...
A few days ago, I made my first approach.
Although I have no problems socializing, I think I might have not made such good impression.
It went something like this:
I got with my friends and we decided to play some Foosball ( Table Soccer ). There were two tables. We were on one of them and another group of persons were on the other. We played and played and ... played.
We played to the point of having no coins left to play some more. I got over to the other table and started conversation with the group. ( 3 guys, younger than me and 2 women )
Me: Hey Buddy, how are you ?? ( One friend of mine was there, watching his friends playing, waiting for his turn. )
Friend: I'm fine, thank you. How are you ?
Me: Fine, as always.
We shaked hands, and I asked:
Me: So, who's the champion here ? Who here plays the most ?
Friend: Pfff, obvious ... ME!
Me: Oh really ? That girl seems to play good too. I want to see how well you'll do when we play together against her and her friend!
Friend: Alright then, deal!
We waited for the winner and then I said:
Me: We're next ;D !
Friend: Are you ready?
Me: C'mon now ... You know I am.
The girls started laughing. I teased them playfully during the game and we all laughed together.
While playing ...
Me: Hey Buddy, I still don't know who these two are ... And you still haven't introduced them to me!
Friend: Well, she's Marizza and she's Anna. ( Anna = TARGET )
Me: Oh really? Why, hello, my name is (...)
I proceeded to lift my right hand from the joystick ( or whatever they are called ... ) and wanted to shake hands with her. She lifted her's and, since she was the GoalKeeper, I, as a form of neg, shooted and scored a Goal.
Anna: Geez, you are such a cheater.
*I smiled and so did she*
Me: This is not cheating, this is skill my friend ;D
The game ended ... We lost ... Despite my best efforts, me and my friend lost since he was chicken as a GoalKeeper. Anyways, we had fun.
I got back to my friends and, surprise surprise: One of my friends had found a coin in his pocket. We proceeded to play some more.
The people I just played with before I got back to my friends were still talking to me, frequently. We got back and forth telling each other how we missed such easy scoring opportunities, but I found the 3 guys talking more than the women. I didn't knew If the girls were shy or didn't like me. I didn't care either, I just wanted to have fun.
After playing, we went to other places. A friend of mine said to me:
Friend: You were getting allong with those two girls
Me: I have to admit, it was fun to talk to them.
Friend: I challenge you to ... you know what ?
Me: What ?
Friend: Get the number from those two girls.
I thought to myself ''Well, this is the best time to put in practice what I learned in The Game and other E-books. I will give it a try.''
I got back to the girls, and I struggled to keep conversation up because they were very very shy or non-talkative. Only one of them talked, and she was not my target. I proceeded to ask ...
Me: I know this sounds random but, I have to ask: A friend of mine found her girlfriend hiding a shoe box with photos of her and his ex-boyfriend. He got pissed, left the house and called me instantly. *Bla bla bla, what should I do?* I need a feminine opinion ... I'm not experienced in these type of things.
TARGET: It shows ...
Me: Well, shoot ... I want to hear your opinion then.
The TARGET, later, ended up whispering her friend something, I didn't know what it was. I invited them to grab a bite with me, later on. but they said they were heading home. it was clear they didn't want anything that had to do with me ...
Everyone got ready to go home and I said to Buddy to ''Take good care of those two'' ...
We parted ways, I headed off, not caring how it ended or if they thought I was a nerd or something, but I still had to deal with my friends. I had to do what I hated to: Lie. I lied, said I got their numbers and we went all home.
If I told them ''I failed to get their numbers'' they would diss me, rub that failure on my face. From now on, I'm doing PU alone, with no company.
We haven't talked about it ever since, we just didn't care ... We have better things to do, like playing Foosball ( LOL ) and have fun, but I'm still thinking on how to improve, and who better but the Forum to answer that ?? I'm a long way to be a reasonable PUA, I just want to improve and achieve the Goals I said in my Introduction, but I need the help of the expert.
Cheers everyone,
From your friend,

PS: I was a little bit nervous during the set, I even sweated a little, but I was stuffed with clothes, as it had been a cold day. So I don't know if it was a severe form of anxiety ( I had a little, nothing that made me chuckle but enough to make my mouth dry ) or if I was just hot of being so stuffed.
