Okay so this is my first proper post in ages. I’m back in Guildford now after a long Christmas holidays and I’m ready to start working on my game again. I went out last night for the first time since last semester and I’m ashamed to say it was a bit of a disaster. I’m a bit down today because I feel like I’ve forgotten everything I worked for just a short amount of time ago. I was never an approach demon but last night I didn’t manage to get one proper approach in. To be fair to myself, the clubs and bars were DEAD!! The first place I walked into the only people there when I first went in were the friends I was meeting. The second place every single person in there except for my group was coupled off boyfriend and girlfriend style. So not much opportunity but here’s my night either way.
I got my self ready and went out to meet my friends at about 10pm. We were meeting at a place called flares which is a 60s disco club. I walked into town and headed to the cash point opposite flares when I met the first people of the night.
These two good looking girls came up and were waiting for me to finish using the cash point when I heard one say to her friend.
“town is dead!, I thought Thursdays were student nights”
I turned around and said with a big smile
“I know its fucking lame right, I wanted to go out cause trouble and pick up chicks…… think I might just go home, put on a romantic movie and cry myself to sleep now.”
They laughed and asked me where I was going. I told them flares and asked the same question back.
Girl 1 - “were gonna go rave it up in Tesco, might even buy some chocolate whilst were in there”
Me “haha, no way… I hope you guys have a good movie planned for when you get back home”
Girl 2 - “seriously…. You don’t wanna know.”
Me “try me”
Girl 2 “notebook”
Me “oh jesus… I thought you guys were cool but now I realise I cant ever hang out with you. One of my ex’s totally notebooked me and I’ve never been the same since. I still have nightmares sometimes, haha”
Girl 1 - “haha yeah its not really a boys film but it is the BEST FILM EVER” (said with a jokey smile)
Me “ you know your wrong, its blatantly SPAM ahah… no but seriously, you know what I don’t get.. Why do girls like these romantic films? I admit they can pull your heart strings a little bit but in a real life situation most of the shit that girls think is sweet in these movies is actually just plane creepy. I bet you if some guy got out of the seat on a carnival ride and started hanging off a pole threatening to kill himself if you didn’t go on a date with him you wouldn’t think it was sweet (that’s a scene in the notebook by the way)… you would think the guys a fucking nutter and do anything to get away from him.
Girl 1 - “hahah I’ve never looked at it like that before but I guess your right.”
Me (as I started walking away)- “anyway guys I better go meet my mates, you enjoy your shit film and I’ll enjoy a shit night.. Nice meeting you”
I thought that that little interaction when well and as I was walking away I got a little bit angry at myself because they were giving IOI’s and I think without much more convocation I could’ve gone in for the number close.
Okay so I walk into flares and like I said it was only my friends in there… I’m gonna skip forward now because all that happened then was I chatted to everyone. About an hour later I was out side smoking. I was speaking to a good friend of mine and there was a group of two girls and a guy that had just come in standing next to us. The girls wern’t really attractive (maybe HB 5/6) but I was getting fidgety and wanted to run some game regardless of whether I was going to follow it up or not. I was thinking of a way to open whilst still talking to my friend when the guy from there group turn around and drunkenly asked my friend from the cigarette. My friend said that he only had one left and the girl said loudly “oh go on its his birthday”
Okay it’s a shit opener I know but I just thought on my feet, lent over to them and say
Me “no fucking way, its mine too” (I made it pretty obvious it wasn’t actually my birthdays and was just fucking with them by the way I said it)
Girl 1 - “bullshit!, when were you born”
Me (sarcastically with a smile) “wow… your friendly arn’t you.” then to her friend “jesus how do you role with this girl”
Girl 1 (drunk) - “let me see your ID”
Girl 2 (less drunk) - says to her “dude, its not actually his birthday.. He’s just messing about. Chill out”
Me - to girl 2 “ haha, I like you… I’m adopting you as my new little sister.. (put my arm around her and she lent in and reciprocated)… (at girl 1 jokily) I’m not so sure about you though”
Girl 1 “ah no I’m nice too I swear”
Me - “okay I’ll give you another chance. Are you guys best friends”
Girl 1 - “no” at same time as girl 2
Girl 2 - “Yes”
Me - “ah awkward, you know what, whatever your relationship is I bet you guys spend a lot of time together don’t you”
Girl 2 - “yeah quite a lot”
Me - “you have like exactly the same expressions, lets do the best friends test and I’ll find out weather or not your best friends after all”
Girl 2 - “haha okay go on then”
At this point the drunk guy that was asking for a cigarette turn around grabs me shakes me and says in a pleading voice “please give me a cigarette”
Me - I knock him off and say “wow calm down mate…. I’ll give you one, just stop shaking me or I’ll throw up on you”
I give him one and he properly starts cock blocking me swaying about stumbling inbetween me and these girls trying to start a conversation with me. I pick him up and prop him against the wall. Light his fag for him and turn back to the girls. There laughing at what just happened and I say
Me - “at least he’s having a good night…. You know what you guys look like sisters. I cant believe I only just realised that”
Girl 1 - playfully hits me on the arm and says “haha no we don’t”
Me playfully- “I really need to teach you how to punch, that was pathetic haha”
Just as I say that my mate taps me and says were leaving to go to another club.. I quickly say good bye and leave with my friends.
To be honest I didn’t really think that went that well. There was a lot of distraction which was good practice to deal with but I think I was finely getting thought to them just before I left. I just felt like if I had used a different opener I could have started in a much stronger position.
Okay so after that there literally wasn’t another opportunity to approach as everyone was locked in with what looked like a boyfriend or girlfriend. I’m going out again tonight and I want to get a good few approaches in so wish me luck. I need some confidence back!

Dude, good job. You're doing a great job at opening and building attraction. All you had to do with the first set was number close and promise to meet up next week and tell them that you're not going to let their next weekend be so lame. And the second set was golden, pick your target and isolate. Then ask the interview type questions while building kino. Keep it up Freak, you're gonna be a star!
