Hey guys, I got in some good approaches last night. My report is below. Just want to mention that this is a cross post from my
blog, where I am in the process of tracking 1,000 approaches, I've just simply changed the label of each approach to correspond with this particular competition.
We started the night at the local Irish pub. Because of the ridiculously low temperatures tonight, Wingman Stick and I had planned on staying local. Around 10:30, Stick got a call from his new girl. Somehow she convinced him that we needed to travel across town to some college bar. After b*tching about having to travel in the Arctic like conditions, I reluctantly agree to go.
We arrive at College Bar and quickly notice that a majority of the girls are on the dance floor. I wasn't planning on dance floor game tonight. We get some beers, scope out the scene, and move to the edge of the dance floor.
Approach 1: After some hesitating, I finally grow some balls. I approach two women dancing in front of us and ask if they know who sings the song that is playing. They don't know, so I try having a conversation with them about the terrible music. They seemed disinterested so I eject.
Approach 2: A hot a girl is walking by so I stop her and ask the same question, "hey, do you know who sings this?" She doesn't know either. I have a quick conversation with her about 90s music but she eventually leaves to join her friends.
Approach 3: There are two girls seated near us, so I approach and ask one of the girls the same question, "hey, do you know who sings this?" She knew, but looked at me like I was an idiot because of how obvious the song was (it was clearly a Prince song). I try asking her what her favorite 90s band is but she was being a biatch so I do a back turn on her and eject.
Approach 4: There are two other girls standing next to Wingman Stick. I motion for him to open and he does. His conversation quickly fizzles out. A few minutes after this I decide to approach the same set. I go in.
Me: Hey quick question
Girl: Ok
Me: Do you think I look like Joe DiMaggio?
Girl: Ummm, I guess so
Me: Oh I only ask because earlier some girl said I looked like Joe DiMaggio. It's funny because I've never heard that before but I think I do have some similarities.
Girl: Haha, yea, and he was married to Marilyn Monroe too
Me: I know, I guess it was a pretty good compliment
I continue chatting with the girl for a little bit about the music in the bar. Eventually, her friend pulls her away and they leave.
Approach 5: We leave the edge of the dance floor to go get some more beers. As Wingman Stick is ordering I notice a girl near us doing the Robot (lets call her Robot Girl). I'm a big fan of the robot so I quickly go up to her and start doing my own Robot. So, now we are both doing the robot and the whole bar is watching us! This peculiar dance off finally ends and there is instant flirting.
Me: Oh my god, I can't believe you are a fan of the robot, I think I'm in love. Lets get married
Robot Girl: Haha, you do an amazing robot
Me: Oh thank-you, I practice in the shower every morning
Robot Girl: Haha, you are sooo cute
Me: (kino her waist) awww, well you're kinda cute yourself
Robot Girl: KINDA!?! (she gives me a light punch in the arm)
Me: Hehe, well we both can't be really hot sex symbols, I don't think the bar could handle it
Robot Girl: Haha, your right. Hey I love your scarf.
I need to point out here, that tonight I was wearing a scarf around my shoulders all night. I was going for that pretentious English professor look.
Robot Girl proceeds to fondle my scarf and wrap it around my neck. At one point I think she had wrapped it around ten times basically cutting off my air supply. I finally had to say, "hey, hands of the merchandise, this sh!t ain't free!" Robot girl giggles and begins introducing me to her friends. She keeps trying to get me to do the Robot for her friends but I refuse saying that I'm not a dancing monkey here for your amusement.
Robot Girl's friends are the most annoying people in the world so I signal to Wingman Stick that we need to eject. I figured that I could always come back and find Robot Girl at the end of the night for some type of close.
Approach 6: We head back over to the dance floor. Wingman Stick's girl finally shows up. For some reason she was intent on getting me laid tonight. Sounded fine with me. I tell her that she can be my wing woman.
I notice two cute girls dancing so grab Wing Woman's hand and tell her to come dance with me near the two girls. We go over and start doing some crazy sexy dancing. I finally make eye contact with one of the girls. I grab her hand, twirl her around and begin dancing with her. Wing Woman gives me a wink and slinks back to Wingman Stick.
The dancing didn't last too long though because the friend got jealous and pulled the girl away from me. Arrrghhh!
----------------------
I notice that it is getting late so decide to go back and find Robot Girl with the hopes of getting some kind of close. After searching the bar I realize that Robot Girl is nowhere to be found. She had left. Sh!t!
It's closing time now so we decide to leave the bar. We exit and catch a cab home.
Summary
First, I got in a bunch of approaches tonight with little anxiety so that was definitely good. However, there was also a lot of room for improvement. I made some mistakes, the big one being that I ejected from Robot Girl. Had I continued to flirt with her, I could have simply isolated her from the friends and gotten some type of close. Also, I need to learn how to manage the friends/obstacles better as this seems to be the main factor in losing my targets. All in all, it was a decent night but not closing Robot Girl was a bit frustrating. Oh well, next time.
