| Great night last night, despite the freezing temperatures and equally freezing girls in line just in front of us with no interest in interaction... No problem... I'm not looking to find my mate at the bar, don't care if I get laid or not tonight (can always bring in the back up), and am out just to have fun, work on my game, social skills, meet new people, and lay groundwork for the future...
I started the night with a shot of Stoli and half a red bull at home - great pick me up, and ends up saving long term since I usually stick with one beer and Sprite while going out... keeps me focused, but also allows me to actually make use of the weekends... I started the night at a Russian party which was quite lame - all men, one set of 3 girls, and 3 dancers in military camo... I got sucked into the dancer girl group for official club pictures, cute, we improvised some fighting moves, took a gansta picture with an fake M16, laughed for a bit and got going... As one of the other guys I got introduce to earlier was talking to the girls, I approached under the pretext "How do you all know Max?"... the girls did not really respond... turns out one was the DJ's girlfriend, one was only like a 4... and she started talking... and the other one, maybe an 8, was really cold and not interested in communicating... we chatted for a bit, a dude jumped in with the 8 and said that they are roommates, which is bull... but after a couple minutes, I ejected... my new Wing was outside...
I met RyDubs - first impression, young, great peacocking qualities, smooth calm manner of speech, a Justin Timberlake type persona, and moves that I would assume to Style... We decided to hit this place - Storytown... but the line was around the block... a group of girls was leaving the line and I just hackled them on the street... they paid some attention, I told them we will meet them at the Bar, as we ourselves conferred and decided line not worth it, going to the Bar... there we saw the girls as expected, started chatting with not much response from the group... At this point my wing pulls a very smooth move - take off his jacket and asks the girls for the bathroom. When directed, he acts all confused, puts his arm out, and while putting a time constrain "it'll be just a second" asks the girl to show him where the bathroom is. She really thought hard about it... if not for the age difference, and perhaps if we would have built a bit more time with them... that would have totally worked... I was stunned...
While he was gone, I left the Bar and walked to the Pub across the lobby... Two 9s at the bar, I approach from the side and order a drink then turn to them and go, "My friend is waiting for me, and he's trying to hook me up with his friend... How do I tell him I'm not interested" opinions around, kind of funny... but I could just not transition, clinging to the opener "tell me what you usually do in that situation?" they go "to a guy, I just tell them I'm not interested, but that's too harsh for a girl... tell her you have a girlfriend or something..." I go "well, do you want to play that for tonight" - "No thank you"... we chat back to the opinion opener and girls go "this conversation is not going anywere"... could not transition for the life of me - I think their looks and confidence intimidated me... could have used my typical transition "how do you two know each other?" but was not popping in at which point I went "well, gonna go try it with my friend, but I'll see you girls later". Caught up with my wing, tried to get drinks at the Bar, waiter was talking to this two girls - I approach going "so how does a guy get drinks around here?" the girls flag the bartender - I ask "how you girls know each other" turns out they went to high school together with the bartender... my wing was familiar and stated talking chatting about that... the girl was totally into him... but I don't think he was interested - we decided to get drinks at the Pub... on the way, met 3 friends in the lobby, chatted for a bit, walked into the Pub but no available sets... my friends decided to hit another place... we saw a hot mixed set... I thought of approaching, wing was anxious... Told him, come by in a minute with the line "dude, have you seen Michelle?" (standard routine - gives us social proof - we have our own mixed crowd...). Girls were on the phones - I feel that's always an opener... A girl on the phone means she's bored, looking for something to do, not entertained... I use my standard line "no cell phones allowed, this is a place of fun" they go "dude, we are planning a bachelorette party" we chant, turns out the bride to be and groom were there... I ignore the girls and start talking to the guys, introduce myself... I go "so for a bachelorette party, where's the male strippers?" the guys give me a shit test "do you even know of what you are talking about, have you been to any?" I actually crashed a number in college... bring up this group at Shampoo in Philly "where we actually spend the night playing with shampoo bubbles - they had a floor where they would blow foam on it... fun and wet stuff" My wing approached me and I tried to introduce him as a male stripper for the bachellorete party, but he pulled me aside... His point - I needed to calibrate - girls were not into it...
He is right - but it's so hard to do... How do you decide that it's time to exit... girls not interested - does that mean that you have not build attraction yet, or you lost the set? We went back to the Bar - I approached a set with the line "I think I know you from the hospital?" (figured it builds me a DHV and girls may ask you about it) She goes, "nah, no way, I don't think I would be good with a knife..." I insist - she tells me she's from Rhode Island... we talk about it for a bit... but I exit to find my wing... plus, girl was just visiting...
We decide to check out another place down the street... As we enter, I see a two set - tell my wing to go for it... I make a circle - find a friend, she's chatting with some guys - tells me they are being jerks... I go hey now... I give her a hug, we laugh, chat for a minute... I go - hey, gonna get a drink... she's barely holding hers... I walk to a bar, get two sprites and a beer - take the beer and walk to my wing, give it to him (figured out that builds social proof for him)... turns out my friend is in group with the two girls... we all laugh, introduce ourselves - I leave my wing with them and circle the bar... tried to open a walking set, they keep walking...
I run into this blonde checking her phone... I approach "no cellphones"... she turns to me and goes, "I think I had the worst day of my life" (later it turns she said date)... that is too easy... turns out she was setup with this guy who went "I'm sorry I'm so borring" all night long, as well as "I think you are too good for me"... I was thinking - I guess those could have been teases, but evidently he kept on them to the point that she had to stop him, supposedly told him, look, you are a cool guy, stop appologizing and telling me you are borring... I guess she struck a cord with him cause he told her he does not need advice from her... at which point she wished him good night... funny story... I tell her "I feel bad for the guy, but I'm glad cause now I got to meet her"... I tell her "I don't think there's borring people in Boston" with the schools, the ocean, the mountains... "I mean, I spend the whole day skiing today, race motorcycles in the summer, had lots of fun going flying out of New Bedford" I think she has an accent - she tells me know, she's from Main - I go awesome, I just spent a week there in the fall at the Acadia park - she's intrigued, we talk about it - I offer to show her pictures from Acadia on my phone... (Note to self, organize pictures in folders) I run into pictures of my motorcycle, me driving one of the duck boats, some pictures of severely mangled extremities which freak her out (but acts as the transition into my work, which is a DHV), finally we go through pictures of Main... all this time I keep teasing and negging her... I think I go too far... she tells me - you are so confident... I'm like a total looser compared to you... yet she's a law student, finishing early, looking to save the world through the environment, worked in Africa, is a ballet dancer taking lessons with Boston ballet, has been dressing horses... I tease her... "no, no... I'm sorry I'm so borring... you are just too good for me" she goes stop it... I say you need a hub... we hug... I kiss her on the hair... she leans in... we chat some more... she asks me about my job... I give a whole philosophical spill that jobs don't define people... like she's a lawyer - and I don't give a shit... I think what makes her cool is ballet, horses, fun stuff... she insists - I tell her "if I tell you what I do, I'm afraid you will fall in love immediately, and then I could not get rid of you"... she says "oh, well... you don't have to... you seem to feel uncomfortable telling me some things" (all this time I was trying to play misterious... shift in game... it does not work... or I don't know how to lay it)... I tell her about my job... I ask her about ESP... guess 3, but then second number was 9... I went 7, 8... but then was like, no, I guess me and you can't work out... we don't have ESP... she goes... but I thought of 9... that was awfully close... I was waiting for you to say 7, 8,9... I use that and give her another hug, this time kissing her on the cheek... I lean in and we start making out.. I look at her and go - you are quite a thing, I'm afraid you'll hurt me... we make out some more... she looks around - "I feel like everybody is probably watching me right now, we are making out at the bar... I never do that" I go - "yes, everybody is watching, so we better give them a show.." She says she needs to take the jacket off, it's too hot... I say, "yes, I'm that good... I can take your clothes off without even using my hands... shirt goes necks... pants, but we leave the boots on"... she goes again - you are so confident... I tell her the panties joke "guy walks into a bar and stairs at his watch - this girls looks at him and asks - is your date running late? He says, no, I just got this cool watch and playing with it... She asks - what's so special about the watch? he goes, well... it has this alpha wave technology and talks to me... she giggles and goes - so what is it telling you right now? the guy looks at the watch and says - it says you got no panties on. the girls laughing says - sorry to disappoint you but I got my panties on. The guys looks back at the watch and says - damn, my watch is one hour fast" she giggles, we make out some more... I tried to walk away a couple times as the conversation gets tensioned... both of us are trying to figure out what's next... she tells me - hey, despite what you think, I'm not a slut... I go "wow, you are wrong... I'm not that easy, you can't do that to me" and walk away... get away 10 yards and turn back, she is lost... I walk back, we make out some more - I go - do you want to get out of here? She gets her jacket and I ask her how she's getting home... She says - I need a cab... I offer to drive her, she agrees... my car is like 4 blocks away... we drive home... all roads around her place are like diverted by cops... she says, "I'm sorry - I can walk if you are tired of driving in circles" I tease her... "well, let's not walk in circles, I better get lucky tonight" while giggling... she giggles back, I grab her hair... finally figured how to get to her place by going down an alley... At her place things are progressing but I stop her... I say... look, this is too fast... and excuse myself to go home... she runs after me - wait, you are not gonna even get my phone (totally forgot since my phone died earlier in the night)... I go, no, I had fun.. she plays hurt, finds a paper and writes down her name and phone number... we make plans to see each other during the day today - but she has dinner with friends tonight... at this point since I slept most of the day and I still got a bunch of stuff to do, I think I'm gonna ditch her today. Instead, I'm gonna invite her over to my place later in the week for dinner and a movie - my rule... no dates on Fri or Sat night... that's the boys night out!
I'm still confused on theory... I can't get the game to work for me... going by my old theory... I believe social interactions are like Brownian motion... presumably random drifting of particles... with random collisions... and random reactions... ultimately, the number of collisions is defined by the size of container and number of particles... some elements react, some don't... Translation: I find that as I open sets some girls like me some don't... same way goes in reverse, I like some, others I don't... and I know that in about 3 seconds... so ultimately, the more sets I open (collisions), the higher my chance of finding somebody who I like and they like me (reactions)... The initial interaction establishes in seconds, after that it's building attraction and comfort where routines help... Now - I have not figured out how to get that 10 who has no interest at all in me... they tend to remain passive even after I spend 25 minutes with the group... bringing up crazy hobbies, fun stuff, questions, routines... I guess - just got to keep working on the game... so I can create an electric field wherein particles are no longer random, but oriented in the same phase as me...
