Just to start off, i coulda easily got the number closes but it was my last day on vacation and won't be going back for a year so i decided a facebook close made more sense.

Anyway, I'm in Macedonia for summer vaca, and me and my friend decide to go to a beautiful hidden town called Pescani in search of a cliffdiving spot for my last day of vaca (here's the town: http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak ... 9698_n.jpg).

We looked around for an hour, but found nothing except for absolutely beautiful waters and what not. The beach was amazing.. a few topless chicks, thongs, and people from all over the world (dutch, german, even irish).

Me and my friend are looking for a spot to swim when we spot these two gorgeous hb8.5 and hb8. We were walking in their direction, and the hb8.5 was eye fcuking me like crazy. We had our shirts off and i've been hitting the gym lately so I stood out a little.

For about an hour and a half i'm too pussy to go open them up... what if they don't know english? what if they dont speak albanian either? blah blah blah i was just looking for excuses. They were eye fcuking us to the point where they moved their heads over to get a better look at us from under one of those beach umbrellas. So we're swimming around them, and the hb8.5 is tanning and says something to her hb8 friend... she turns and tans her back to reveal the sweetest ass i've seen in a while.

So I go water tubing, and it was absolutely EXHILARATING and it really put me in a fun mood... so i say fcuk it, im going to talk to them. The two are laying out in their adjacent tanning chairs. I just build up the balls, walk over to them at an angle (by the HB8's body language i could tell she knew i was coming). I am NERVOUS AS FCUK at this point, but they noticed me coming along so i didn't back away.

pua "Excuse me, do you guys speak english?" i say, as i stand betweein their chairs leaning over with a hand on each chair (trying to look comfortable).
Immediately their eyes shoot up and faces brighten up, HB8 starts playing with her hair. They look at each other as if to signify approval.
HBs "yes we do."
pua "well i think you guys were just beautiful so i came over to talk to you guys"
HB's "omggg thank you giggle giglle smile smile eye fcuk me"
pua "ill just sit down over here.. where are you girls from?"
HB8.5 "We are from Serbia."
pua (at this point im thinking shit, im albanian, this isn't good, so ill act like im pure tourist with no family here).

anyway I started to stutter a few times, DHV by saying i may be moving to london after vaca, anything i could think of. However, i DID get some solid laughs out of the both of them. HB8 was giving me the biggest IOI's of my life, but i wanted HB8.5. I coulda done way better if i were more relaxed. My friend came in and just said "hi" right before i was going to introduce him... it seemed kinda awkward. I wanted to isolate target girl but my friend didn't have a convo going so i didnt want to leave him alone..

Things i've learned
- I feel like the fcuking BOSS after every approach.. its so fun! FORGET AA!!!
- I need more practice stacking into routines and what not.. or practice day game more so i can be more natural and keep convo's going!
- practice introducing my friend and teach him how to DHV each other.
- I forgot to KINO!!! nothing was getting sexual. that woulda made the convo easier because i love sexual jokes, im the man at them.
- I need to display i'm more of a fun guy. bring a ball next time? Easy invitation for getting into the water!

Lol my last words to her were "ok, i've gotta get outta here and catch a plane to USA. see you next year! haha"

as we were dressing i notice HB8.5 (target) eyefcuking the shit outta me. so i walk back over to get a pic with her and my friend.. and i'm telling you they look A LOT hotter in person

so we talk on FB from time to time.. i sent her the pic of us and she told me to uplaod and tag. i coulda been laying her all day long if i had another week there.. dammit.

This is so true, for whatever reason we look for any excuse, but they are all bullshit
I find this to be true as well, AA is such a lie, it really is, the toughest parts of a pickup are the open and kiss close, but after they happen we wonder why the fuck our heart was pounding so hard! Each approach is a brick added to the construction of my palace, thats the way I see it and it only gets easier and easier

plus dude, im telling you what, I know a lot of people love to go to clubs and shit, but the best time to meet chicks and expand your roster is day game, they are so much more open, you don't have to compete, she rarely gets approached during the day, especially by guys who know what they're doing like us, seriously almost all the girls im seeing now i met during the day and not at some fucking smoke filled bar.

For real man, have a kamikaze day where you go out to the mall or wherever and just day game for a few hours, you'll be surprised at how fast you learn and adjust, plus you'll leave with like 10 new numbers
dude i just wrote down all my favorite routines, dhv's, stories, negs etc and then i put them into a script that moves from attraction all the way to comfort, once you have a working script get your ass out there and implement it, you're close man and if you persevere, success will embrace you

Thanks d mid for a useful response. Glad you took the time to say all that.

I had lots of my C&F jokes and what not stored into my phone but I lost it, I also had some routines. I get a new one tomorrow so I'll put some in... I kinda miss that heart-pounding feeling now. I'm honestly thinking of it more as excitement rather than nervousness, which is great for me.

You're welcome BD

dude i wrote all my shit down on index cards, i had one for the approach to number close and another card for day 2's, once its all memorized, its amazing, its like having super powers, i go in natural...

i typically use situational openers and then stack, one thing thats popular right now are these big purses, at my school these HB's are everywhere with these things and i'll bust on them for pretending to be paris hilton and accuse them of carrying a dog in it

this is all so stupid, but they love it, they'll laugh and i keep the convo going for as long as i can naturally, then if i'm running out of things i'll bust out the material from the mental rolodex, generally just be cool and escalate

and remember your ABC's...Always Be Closing

its interesting though cus we all learned the material to know what to say, but i use the routines less and less, its almost like just knowing i have an emergency chute gives me the confidence to trust my primary chute

Don't get me wrong, there are a few routines that i do now that ive always done before i even knew i was using "routines" before i was ever involved in this shit, but let me tell you, i have a few routines that are my fuckin bread and butter

Private Message me your email and we can swap some shit

Dam the thing is I could be an insanely funny guy.. I have facial expressions and movements to go along with everything, but I can't do it right after opening someone up unless they are not attractive. I have to think more of the Abundance Mentality. I do AWESOME gay impressions, stereotypical accents (hispanic, black, chinese, russian, german, dutch) and am just witty.

nice! i think u could of easily Fclosed that day from what you described their reactions to you were. Too bad you had to leave and didnt take it further. GG haha.

In my experience, the gay impression is to be used with caution! My last gf found it a complete turn off (I would actually respond to her overtures with it when I wasn't in the mood for sex. She would get furious!). I was at this "Hair Wars" event at a local club last night and thought it would be the perfect environment for such comedic fair, but alas, it got a laugh with the set I tried it on but they left for the bathroom soon after.

I just have to say: "Do you speak english" is a brilliant opener, especially if you are in like USA or England, it will totally throw girls off guard if it is done right!

Slywalker: That's awesome... wow I could say it in an English accent and then slap myself in the head and say "sorry i just flew in from switzerland" or something... DHV!

And that gay accent i do, it's only with people i really know.

Nice post, your comment about approach anxiety got me thinking and I think I am at the point now where the discomfort of approaching is actually lower than the discmofort of not approaching. There are 3 possibilities:

Approach and get a postive result or close - Feel Great
Approach and get a negative result - Feel bad for a bit but soon shrug it off and am still proud of myself for making the approach.
Don't approach - Feel bad all day and the next day kicking myself for not approaching and really regretting it, feeling like a bit of a loser.

That's the way man. The positives of approaching outweight the negatives.

What I want to do is record an approach I do.. hopefull I'll get this next summer. Of course there won't be any audio, but I can still study my body language and see if I'm conveying an awesome personality. It's pretty much how a girl would view me from afar without being able to hear us speak.
