| I'd post this in the Field Reports section, but since it's a hybrid in-person/online sarge I figured I'd stick it here.
Now then, I don't post terribly often, but some of you may remember me as the guy who's on a remote FOB in Afghanistan right now and asked for advice on whether I should try to kick game to the females around me. I ultimately decided not to (mostly because Deployment Goggles haven't latched on yet), but several weeks ago a golden opportunity presented itself in the form of a female military journalist being sent up here from the Brigade HQ to cover our unit's operations and the training we were conducting with the ANA/ANP. Anyways, she was a solid 7.5 based on Stateside standards which made her a delicacy out here in mountain country.
She happened to be covering a platoon I room with, so one night I heard the sounds of a group outside by the fire pit we made and knew this was my chance to accomplish multiple firsts. One, open in a group environment. Two, snatch a girl right out from under the noses of a bunch of meathead alphas. Three, get some on another continent. Fourth, hit on an NCO. After some goading by one of my roommates who I've shared some PUA knowledge with wanting to see what I could do since I'd been guiding him to scoring every bronze medal on this FOB, I said "fuck it" and headed out.
I went outside and as soon as I was seen by the guys they greeted me excitedly and asked for me to lay down some beats (I can beatbox like a muh'fugg). I happily complied, basking in the mountain of social proof I'd just been handed on a platter. I finished up and ended up standing near her but never directly addressed her since she'd be around for a few more days and I figured I had time. I mean, it's pretty much impossible to isolate in this environment. She'd laugh at just about every joke I made with the group, even ones I knew were lame but wanted to test her reaction with. At the risk of sounding pretentious, I have a fairly highbrow sense of humor and her reacting well to all of it bumped her up to an 8.
I'd see her here and there whenever our paths crossed and maintained a playful back-and-forth. One day I was told I had to do headcount at the chow hall for the first time and with the platoon I room with being gone I had a golden opportunity. She ended up sitting close to where I was posted and as she left I said she should come by that night because I was going to build a fire and it was the perfect way to relax after a long day. She agreed to come by after I told her when and I went scrambling for firewood as soon as I got off headcount since I'd come up with the plan on the fly. Everything worked out, and we ended up talking for hours. Why did I do this, despite being a follower of direct game? I wanted to try out the heavy-on-talk Mystery Method and see if I could actually hijack her mind. I was chatty as fuck, but not in an insecure way, more of an enthusiastic guy than a nervous one. Helping me out was that we clicked fantastically and trying some kind of phase shift out of the blue would have killed my chances.
Fast forward a couple of days later, I timed my trip to the MWR to coincide with when I'd seen her sign in the day before on the sheet. Sure enough, my timing was perfect and I told her that while we were right there with the internet that she should add me on Facebook since she was leaving the next day. She did, and I didn't see her before she left.
So fast forward again and I've been working her over the chat and messages, with her being extremely receptive to everything. The entire time I haven't been hitting on her once, so yesterday I took it up a notch. She'd always been a little shy in general and I couldn't think of any way to crack through the last line of defense so I used two routines from Rules of the Game on her, the Secret Self Routine and the Nancy Friday Fantasy Elicitation. Both worked, and the conversation took on a totally different air. Finally I made my first real overture. I found out she'd be in Jalalabad until August, but I leave in April and Jalalabad is a stop on the way out so I said "yeah, I'll be coming through there before you leave then. There's a girl down there I'm going to see. She's cosmically awkward and shy (so she tells me), but definitely cute." "Sounds like a winner," she replied.
Before I even ran those routines or talked about her in the third person, she'd already started initiating conversations or sending me messages that weren't replies. Despite it taking a lot more work, this whole verbal game thing is intensely fulfilling. I can feel how attracted she is to me, it's nuts. Nice to know that the next time I'm in Jalalabad that I'm getting some ass.
Uh, that ended up being pretty long. If anyone wants details on how this worked just ask, I guess? I'm just super hyped up right now and have been since yesterday and HAD to share with someone.
