SATURDAY 5th MARCH 2011
NIGHT GAME
Ah okay ive been ill all week, i thought i was just tired or something but turns out i was ill so its why i haven't posted up much for the week.
Friday night just hung with some friends in a bar and opened 1 girl:
*turning around looking at us and checking her phone in her pocket*
Me: hey we're not stealing, thats mean.
Her: haha no i was just checking my phone
We spoke for bit but i couldn't get off the damn opener, especially around my friends.
anyway here is saturday night.
Issues Addressed
- opening loads
- social momentum
- 'just doing it'
- finally getting off the opener
- not being serious enough.
- conversation/mid game problems
Also i actually opened/approached like crazy this night but i thought I would put up the 5 that were important and that i best remember (Wasn't drunk just bad memory lol).
My approaches
First Approach
- In a very busy bar we waiting to get to the bar, so i speak to 4 older women (who were quite hot blondes still might i add);
Me: Hey *puts arm around female friend* do you think we look like a good couple?
Them: Yeah you do! really good! its okay shes taller
Me: yeah she's the guy
Them: Haha blah blah
Me: She cheated on me 5 times though. . . all different guys. . . at the same time.
*everyone laughs*
We got speaking about general shit chat and a good vibe was set, the taller one was KINO'ing me quite a bit but i sorta bailed it was a good 5/10minute interaction.
- Opening ASAP is important to set the night out.
- People are friendly, its not an uphill struggle
- Dont worry if your mind freezes just before the approach, you can come up with stuff the say.
Second Approach
*this one taught me a lesson and im proud of it*
I saw a group of about 7 HB's all dressed in white greek dresses walking around, they were turning heads. They walked passed me but I failed to say anything but then i saw them ahead of me later and thought "No, you ARE speaking to them"
Me:*walking passed* Hey, why are you all dressed in white greek dresses? Im just wearing jeans and a polo shirt.
- They were really responsive and explained why, people are just happy to speak to others and i can just chat with people.
- I wasn't going to open them but i forced myself to go out of my
comfort zone
Third Approach
Walking to another bar a guy zooms passed with guy piggybacking him and nearly goes into some girls behind me, so i open them with a terrible opener;
Me: Ah the traffic around here is terrible (In reference to the piggyback guys)
- They laughed and one of them (the hottest one) ended up being really cool and we got on really well, teasing each other and joking around to the point i actually forgot to ask her name because we had so much to talk about.
She even invited me to go wherever her friends were going but i had to meet my friends/pussied out (it was 50/50).
- I was so in the moment i couldn't say how long it was we spoke. It was quite flirty and high energy too.
Fourth approach
We had been in L2 (the club i mention in nearly every field report) and i didnt do any opening in there because it really must just be that club. We went into another club though on the dancefloor next to 2 HB's. i wanted to open them but i was
too scared then i got annoyed and thought "Do i really want this to be me? the guy letting fear stop him from doing things. Where is this getting me just not doing anything? nowhere. fuck this im speaking to them", i look over and a guy is trying to speak to them;
Me: HEEEEYYYY (loud club) Do you think me and this guy make a good couple?
Them: Haha yeah you do
Me: Good because we're proud, are you two proud about being lesbians
HB1: No we're not-
HB2: Yeah we love it, im the boss
Me: Ohh yeah i can see that
blah blah blah
- I had lots of doubts though because MEGATRON was with me and he was being a lot more higher energy and conversating better, so me and HB1 were mildly talking. I didn't feel any gaming going on it felt like i was boring her.
- In the end MEGATRON tried to #-close HB2 but she said "No" until i said its just being friendly nothing else and then i told HB1 to give her number to him (I didn't even ask for it i felt it went that bad. Surprisingly, he went and gave them a hug but they came over to me to give me a hug and i didn't even go/ask for a hug.
- I also was NOT going to open but pushed myself to step out of my comfort zone and open them and although it was just a hug (I know they weren't attracted to me or anything) but i guess that shows that i couldn't have been that boring.
Fifth Approach
I'll include about 3 or 4 approaches under this one because it was the same opener.
I opened a LoneWolf walking around, older but hot
Me: Hey
Her: *stops*
Me: (I have NOTHING TO SAY) *I slowly raise my finger into a moustache above my lip* Do you think I should grow a moustache?
- I used that one on
lots of girls walking passed to the toilets as i was waiting for ages for some people. See it worked well and i got some 'ioi's (not that i go around looking for them) and i got off the opener a few times
but i realised i didn't 'drop the act' and just act normal - which i should have.
Evaluation
I opened way more sets. I think this is because;
- i opened early so it set a mood for the night.
- i followed social momentum
- i pushed out of comfort zone
- i was in areas i
liked to game not the usual stupid club
- situational openers we're used and i made 2 openers that i can use again (each made on the spot, though one is just a copy of Vaj's)
I got off the opener;
- I successfully got off the opener by just
cutting thread or using
cold reads
- I need more practice but i need to come up with more SOLID WAYS of getting off the opener.
After the opener i need to make it into an interaction that isnt me just prancing around, maybe more casual
- I dont know maybe I was doing good but i felt like i needed to stop acting silly and get to know them after they seemed like they wanted to stay.
- This i think will be achieved by after she enjoys my company to just say "I stopped you because i thought you were cute/hot/interesting". Ill try it out and see.
The club i usually go to must be bad environment for gaming and I have found better places to go to
----------------------------------------------------------------
I will post up about what direction ill take for the next outing, I feel like talking to random HB's will be a lot easier from now on.
