What's up guys,
Yeah,I know. Surprised to see a field report from me. Nevertheless,here's what went down:
First of all,when I left my house yesterday,I had no intentions of meeting or approaching anybody. It's weird,it seems like whenever I'm just out living my life,minding my own business,that I seem to run into interactions with women the most. Anyway,I went to this store,and when I entered,the woman behind the counter greeted me. I said hello,asked her how she was doing,then went on about my business. I had been to this store before and seen this lady there,and had thought about asking her out,but for some reason,never got around to it. So,once i finished shopping,I went to the counter to checkout and she met me over there,and then the conversation went like this:
me:Hey,so what's your name?
her: (her name)
me:so what's the deal with you? Are you married with a hundred kids,or what?
her:No,I'm not married. I have two kids,and they're both grown.
me:Alright,so if I want to see you,if I want to take you out,do you have a problem with that,or what?
her:No,it might be kind of nice to go out.
me:Alright,that's cool. So I get you can give me your number,and I'll give you a call sometime.
her:Well,my phone got cut off,yeah,I didn't pay the bill,and it won't be back on until Monday,but I can give you my daughter's cellphone number,or you can give me your number so I can call you. Or you can come back up here,or you can call me here.
me: (thinking,I wasn't expecting that) Alright,how about I just give you my number. (I know,i know, mistake.)
Now after I said this,I was fumbling around looking for a piece of paper to write my number on,and she IMMEDIATELY,fast as lightening,push some button on the cash register and a long slip of paper came out.
As I wrote down my number,the conversation continued....
her:Now you're not married with 5 kids,are you?
me: (holding up my hands) Look. You see any rings?
her:Alright,just making sure.
I handed her my number.
me:Hey let me ask you a question:Let's say the two of us get together,and i take you out or whatever. Now if I take you out,do I have to spend the WHOLE DATE trying to be nice,and be a gentleman,and all that?
her:Uh,what do you mean?
me:Well see,some guys,like they'll take a woman out,and they'll start trying to hug on her,and kiss on her,and touch her like 5 minutes into the date...
her:No,no,no...I'm sure you wouldn't do that.
me: Oh,no no,you don't have to worry,I'm not like that. I usually wait like,hmm,I don't know,what,10...15 minutes.
her: (BURST OUT LAUGHING)
me:Well come on now,it is a date,right? I gotta do something sometime.
her:Now if I call this number,it isn't going to be like some joke,and somebody else answers the phone,is it?
me: (somewhat confused by that statement) No no,it'll be me. It's just that I work during the night,so the best time to get ahold of me is (I told her when)
her:Wait a minute. How old are you?
me:How old are you?
her: (hesitating) Umm...you first.
me: I'm in my 30s.
her:Oh,ok. I'm in my 30's.
me:Ok look,I gotta roll,so I'll talk to you later.
her:Alright,I'll be calling you.
So there. That's it. Although I'm glad she said yes,for some reason I kinda regret approaching her. Some things about her kind of threw me off. For example,she said she has two FULL GROWN kids,but she's only in her 30s. I don't know,something's just odd about that.
Also,that statement about her wondering if she called me,would it be a joke,or possibly a wrong number,or someone else answering the phone.
Who says that kind of thing?
All this happened yesterday (Thursday). I went to work last night,and when I got home this morning,I check my called ID,and there's a number on there I don't recognize,so I think she already tried to call me. It's obviusly a number from a cellphone.
I just want to point out some things from the approach:
1:I showed my interest IMMEDIATLEY. After I asked her her name,I enquired of her status,whether she was single or not. I didn't waste time beating around the bush,tiptoeing with small talk.
2:I CHARGED/BUM-RUSHED the risk of rejection. I also in a sense dared her to reject me. I said:
For some reason,for me,being blunt/straight up direct like that always seems to work. I hear guys talk about how a particular girl has 10 guys falling all over her,but he ignores her,and because her ignores her while everyone else is all AFC over her,she seems to be interested in him.
That's bull.
If she's interested in you because you ignore her,then how can you ever date her? At some point,you'll have to reveal your interest,right?
Imo,it's not ignoring her that generates interest,it's not being afc. It's ok to show interest in a girl even if there are a 1000 other guys doing it at the same time,just show your interst as a DJ.
Alright,that's my "field report" guys. Although this girl called me on the same day i give her my number,I might wait a day or two before returning her call.
I'm not really all that interested.
Peace fellas!
