This Week:
I have come to the realization that this game is not nearly as easy as many dating coaches claim it to be. This week, I made it my mission to meet local girls by visiting local, low-key environments. I visited places such as Wall-Mart, Barnes & Noble, and Target, looking for girls to approach. To my amazement, I found few worth approaching. I went the entire week without any successful approaches. This can't be good for that New Years resolution of mine.
Saturday:
Considering my lack of success at low-key environments, I decided to go with a friend to a local pub/lounge. I was hit with approach anxiety as soon as I entered the place. After hanging around and scoping out the scene, my friend finally laid eyes on a girl he wanted to approach. I told him to go for it. As minutes began to pass, He instructed me to instead go for the approach. As time began to further accumulate, I reluctantly decided on the now-or-never moment.
Success?:
I approached the HB7:
"Hi, excuse me, you just caught my attention. I had to come over and introduce myself... I'm Fred."
The RJ direct method worked. I could tell she was interested in me because the conversation flowed smoothly. I did not have nearly enough game to overcome the awkward first five minutes otherwise. Sure, she did begin referencing her boyfriend at least once every 10 minutes; I still felt her attraction towards me. She left for the bathroom, and came back to approach me. I'm sure that's a clear indicator of interest.
I established kino, bounced her around the club, (sure the fact that her friend was lip-locked with another girl helped) and demonstrated counter-intuitiveness. I asked for her number half-way through the interaction. She declined, stating that she had a jealous boyfriend. I joked about this, and kept the interaction flowing. Towards the end of the night, I again attempted the number close to no avail. A passionate hug, a kiss on the cheek, but no digits?
If I can't do it, it can't be done:
I told my friend the story as we were leaving the club. He told me he could get her number, and went back into the club. He came out in about 10 minutes saying he got her number, and verified that it was hers. He told me humor and persistence go a long way.
