Before I being, I just want to say that I post sparsely on this forum, but I've been reading this forum for about a year now. Anyway, I've been lately inspired by two threads:
1. BeginningDJ's journal: It's very well written man. You need to update that thing. I'm contemplating starting one with the same format.
2. This youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mRM1VwUiYA
The second one being what this FR is for. When I watched that video, I was impressed by Vitaly's confidence. I was equally impressed by how often it seemed to work.
A few of my coworkers decided we were going to try this new bar in town after work. I told my coworkers about the video, and said I was going to try it when we went out. I did this to create accountability for myself. 6PM isn't the greatest time in the world to pick up girls, but since this was more of a test anyway, I figured wth.
So we walk in the hostess sits us, cute redhead. I look around, and there aren't many girls there at the time (it was just after 6). After about 30 minutes i decide, I'm going to try it on the hostess. One of my coworkers bet $5 that she blows me off.
I accept, and head out to the restroom. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but on the way back, this manager, who was hot, said "hey!" and gave me a hard look up and down. If she didn't have a ring on, I would have done it with her right then and there. However, the exchange supercharged my confidence. I was ready.
After a few more minutes, she walks past us, and this dialogue happens...
Me: Hey.
Hostess: Hi. Do you need something?
Me: Yeah. Put your number in my phone.
Hostess: You really expect me to just give you my number like that?
Me: Yes.
Hostess: It takes a lot more than that to get my number.
Me: Is that right?
Hostess: Yeah. I've got stuff to do.
She then walks away. My coworkers are letting me have it. I told them that it's cool, even MJ missed his shots sometimes. Fear of rejection is something that I've struggled with in the past, but I think that this method of number closing is so bold that actually having the balls to attempt is satisfying enough.
But then 10 minutes later...
Hostess: (touches my shoulder) I'll be right back.
She then goes to a few groups to get their names for seating.
5 minutes later...
Hostess: Alright. Are you ready?
I thought about being a hardass and insisting that she type the number in a la the video, but I typed it in, which was a good decision, because another girl texted me as I was typing the number.
The look on my coworkers' face was priceless. When she smile and walked away, the guy who bet me slides the $5 to me.
Pure win. If you're reading this, thanks Vitaly!
