Alright guys this is my first FR and i'm gonna keep it short:
Me and my mate went into the town centre (lincoln) having decided before hand that we were going to try a a few approaches. We are BOTH new to the game and so feedback would be extremely helpful. This has been our first attempt at day game and i found it a lot harder than night game (probs due to alcohol

)
I had a target to make 10 approaches and my friend 5. We didn't make it anywhere near those numbers (AA is a bitch lol).
I approached a HB6 in a music store I think she was around 30. Convo went something like this;
me = Hey, I'm trying to get into this type of music (easy listening) I'm wondering what you'd recommend
HB = Oh, errm i'm not really into this music so i don't know
me = we'll if you had to pick anyone who would it be?
HB = *bla bla michael buble*
* her boy friend comes over and I act all AFC and ask him his opinion too, I then eject*
My second approach was a shop assistant in topman I used a opinion opener again and asked about my friends style:
me = excuse me, can i get your opinion on something? (I approached from behind so vocalised my presence --> hence excuse me)
HB = ok
me = ok so i need some advice about revamping my friends style *blah blah* wondered what you thought.
HB = well fashion is individual it kinda defines what you want to change into
* at this point she 'helped us' and pointed out several jeans and stuff that are in fashion. I made a few jokes and stuff about it along the way and built comfort. After my mate went to try stuff on the convo stopped. (I don't think I broke rapport)*
My mates approach was in a bookstore:
Mate = excuse me
HB = Sorry, I don't work here... *massive awkward silence in which she backs away in fear*
Just your opinions on where we went wrong, overcoming AA and where we can improve.
Cheers guys.
