I had a pretty successful classroom FR today even though it was pretty unconventional. But before I get to that, I'd like to explain what's in store for me in the future in regards to PU.
A fellow aspiring DJ (Mr. Awesome) and I decided that, since PU is one of our top priorities other than work/school, we wanted to dedicate more time to approaching women. But, like any hobby, it takes a lot of work to become really good. Most people who are serious about their passions work on them at least 3-4 times a week.
So we decided to get a group of 6 aspiring DJs to go out 2-4 times a week. We don't want to be exclusive, but we wanted to have a group of guys who are seriously dedicated, want to have FUN and understand that getting good at PU takes work. I'm going to try to go out 3-4 times a week, even though my college is 30-40 minutes outside the city. But, if that's what it takes, so be it. I want to continue getting good grades, so if PU is getting in the way, I'll decrease the consistency.
We had a meeting last night at an empty McDonalds, and we're planning on approaching women (we wouldn't all 6 go out at the same time, cause that's weird) with consistency when our schedules are finalized. We talked about each other's goals and sticking points amongst other stuff (for example, we talked about recording our conversations so that we could pinpoint our mistakes). Hopefully my FRs will help you guys (even you all who are way better than me) and/or inspire those of you who are trying to start approaching but are scared.
But now let me tell you my classroom FR:
During the meeting, a couple of us stated that we wanted to get better at classroom game. So one of the aspiring DJs (Big), gave us his advice. One of the things he mentioned was passing notes to a girl in class. I thought it was a good idea, and I wanted to try it sometime. But I didn't expect that I would be using it today!
I walked into Math class today and started talkign to one of my friends. I sat down next to him, not realizing that to my other side was an HB7.3. I never realized until I stopped talking to my friend. I wanted to open her, but I was a little nervous, and I wasn't planning on opening now.
Class started, and our teacher was sooo boring. In the middle of talking about integrals, he went off on a HUGE tangent and started talking about the author, Chaucer. So I took this as a way to open HB 7.3.
Me (whispering): Is he kidding? This isn't English class.
Her: ahaha I know, I don't know what he's doing.
But I didn't really have anything to say after that, because I couldn't start asking her name and such in the middle of class. It would have been a bit off. I then remembered the advice that Big gave us last night. The note opener is nice because it's very childish and innocent, but I still hesitated for 15 minutes. But I finally said what the hell and tore a sheet of paper. My friend to the left of me and the HB7.3 to the right of me looked at me tearing the sheet of paper.
I drew a tic-tac-toe game on the sheet of paper, drew an X in the middle square and above it wrote this and passed it to her. I saved the note after class so that I could give you all a totally accurate recount:
Me: I'm bored
Her: This is horrible
as we played tic-tac-toe, we wrote messages back and forth after placing our X or O. Here is the rest of the note conversation:
Me: [Our teacher] kind of looks like a skeleton.
Her: That's not very nice but I can see it.
Me: Don't pretend that you're a good person
(as she saw this, I noticed her smile)
Her: Haha fine he looks like a skeleton who prolly died of boredom.
Me: Well, he's definately killing me...
Her: He thinks he's an English professor
Me: I guess it's better than Math. What's your name by the way?
Her: I'd rather have math than Lit. Erica, yours? (IOI)
Me: Agree to disagree. I'm Daniel...are you from the South? (statement assumption. Juggler encourages using these instead of asking questions).
Her: No why?
Me: I am and I thought I could tell you were but I guess I'm not Ms. Cleo.
Her: Nope, your new profession is not in reading people. I'm from the Midwest, where in the south?
Me: Where the best cowboy boots are made...Texas. Where are you from?(also a Juggler method. Don't give her a bland straight answer at first. Get her interest).
Her: Wow haha. I'm from the land where nothing happens...Michigan. (she's definately playing along. IOI).
Me: I'm so sorry. Anyways, I have to start listening now. I don't want the skeleton to fail me.
Her: Ok you do that. I'll continue to tune him out. Nice meeting you.
As class ended, I fluffed with her for like a minute, although she wasn't nearly as responsive as I thought she'd be. Maybe I have too good of note game
. I did not #close because I barely verbally conversed with her. But I'll see her the rest of the semester, and I'm just trying to slowly get to know people in my classes. As always, I welcome comments and more importantly, criticisms.
