First off, a little background since this is my first post. Been around here for a little while, just absorbing some of the material and trying to tighten up my game. I'm usually pretty good when I'm introduced to girls through friends and such, but I've been wanting to work on my whole cold approach/ pick-up skills since my social circle is wanting in hot girls and most of my guy friends are in LTRs. So in the spirit of this, my first field report. (Not an entirely successful venture, I might add lol)
Got a call from a buddy of mine that he was throwing a massive keg party, and that I should check it out. Never one to turn down copious amounts of beer, I went. At first, only knew a couple of people there, but a few more turned up as the night went on. As often happens though, everyone was kinda in their own little groups. But, not to be deterred, I began by just chatting to some of the guys, and introducing myself, as one should at these things. I won't go into detail here, because, well... they were guys. ;-)
If this is too long, I apologize, but it was an eventful evening.
Anyway, on to the good ****.
Spotted a couple girl-friends of mine sitting in a group, chatting with some people I didn't know. Immediately I set my sights on a HB9. She was sitting on a little sofa with a couple other people, but there was a little room free next to her, and no other places to sit, so:
TBD: Hey, squeeze over. (Light push on the shoulder)
HB9: LOL, okay.
As I sit down, my friend leaves and a chair opens up, so in the interest of comfort (and facing this chick directly), I move over.
HB9: What?? You forced me to move and then you just take off?
TBD: What can I say? Something better came along *sly smile*
HB9: LOL.
TBD: What's your name?
HB9: HB9
TBD: Hey, I'm TBD.
*Random fluff for a few minutes*
At this point, I noticed she had a bag full of alcohol and was drinking that rather than the excess of beer.
TBD: Whoa, do you take that everywhere with you?
HB9: LOL. No! I didn't realize there'd by beer here.... etc, etc.
TBD: Suuuuure. I bet you go clubbing with that little grocery bag all the time - pretty shady... tisk tisk.
HB9: No! Just here.
Then some guy she knows comes over, all peacocked out, and talks to her. I know what you're going to say.. "TBD.. you got AMOGed lol" But I just took the opportunity to talk to the other girls in the little group.
*Random fluff with one*, then:
HB7: Hey, I think you were in one of my classes... I recognize you.
TBD: Oh yeah? Cool, what's your name?
Nothing really to tell here, just chatting.
Then this other HB7 joins in, I ask her what she takes at uni, turns out she knows a buddy of mine. Nice. She's actually a pretty cool chick, so I talk to her for a while, but I notice out of the corner of my eye that HB9 is looking over, seeming a little bored, as she's not talking to anyone now. Before I reopen her, she gets up to go, so I'm all "going off to be alone with your bag of liquor?"
HB9: No! I'll be back.
After that, I talked to her guy-friend, also a cool person, so things're all good. But as I mentioned, there's tons of beer and tons of beer + sarging = bad stuff.
I go to the bathroom, and when I return, I see this group of 4 girls (HB5-6 all) and I figure I might as well open this group since my friends are all chatting to people. The HB5/6 set didn't go as well as HB9, which seems to be a pretty common phenomenon for some reason. I basically just fluffed them all, and neg hit myself a few times just to get them laughing a little bit. At this point though, I was a little on the far end of tipsy, and I fear coming off slightly clownish. I'm new to the whole group approach thing, and I think a major sticking point in this was that I was talking to them individually and going back and forth from one to the other, instead of engaging them as a group with some opinion opener or something. Any opinions on this?
After this, I ejected to get back to my friends, and I felt it was going nowhere. So I went over and started talking to a buddy of mine, and we decided to walk around and check the whole place out. I needed to take another leak (damn beer!), so I told him to hold my drink and wait for me first. He started joking around, saying that he wasn't my ***** and stuff, as this HB7.5 walked past, and she said:
HB7.5: Whoa, you guys having a pretty big fight?
TBD: Haha, just a little. But it's cool. How's it going?
HB7.5: Good.
In the interest of brevity, I'll summerize: During fluff, she joked that she didn't know what she was going to do with her life, and would probably end up being a hairdresser. So I was like "cool, I'm thinking about dying my hair blonde, think that'd be a good look?" She said probably not, but it might look good on my friend. She said she was on her way to meet her friend, and I had to piss, so that ended there.
Returning, feeling much lighter, I went to find my friend (who took my beer and was drinking it - damn, you just can't AMOG anyone properly anymore). I noticed two of the girls from the 4-set standing around, so I got my friend, and went over:
TBD: Hey, you guys again? What's up?
HB6(1): Hey! It's TBD! (This chick was showing the most interest before as well, so I'm thinking maybe I didn't **** the set up as much as I thought) Not much. How's it going?
TBD: Good.. hey, have you met my friend?
I introduce him, but I have to ask for their names again (I have a ****ty memory, even though one had the same name as an ex of mine... haha). I guess they weren't too pleased with me because of that, and one of them HB6(2) did a little backturn on me, complete with a little eyecode to her friend...
TBD: Wow.. this one's pretty protective of you eh.
HB6(1): Haha, why?
TBD: Well she's all like *mimicking her*, I'm going to turn around and ignore these guys trying to hit on my friend.
HB6(1+2): LOL!
HB6(1): Haha, well I do have this. (Shows me an engagement ring - oops, may have misinterpreted the high interest)
HB6(2) has her hand in her pocket though, so I pull it out, see no ring and say:
TBD: Aaaaaaaaaaaaah. I see. You're just sad you don't have one of these...
(Okay, in hindsight, maybe negging the HB6 isn't really the wisest course of action, and this is why beer is bad!)
HB6(1): Haha.
My wing: So who's the lucky guy (Trying to get me back on track I think - nice)
To make matters worse, a chick-friend of mine comes over and starts blowing me out!
HBfriend: TBD, what are you doing? Don't believe anything this guy says! He's full of ****.
Okay, I am, but no need to call me out on it. My guy friend thinks this is pretty funny, so he's laughing. I figure this set has gone about as far as it will, so I eject, my friends included.
But here's the kicker: I keep drinking. Idiot!!
So I say to my wing, "dude, follow me."
I then proceed to run a derivative I came up with of "jealous girlfriend", which sorta bombs on these two HB8s. It's based on a friend of mine whose girlfriend told him he couldn't masturbate if he was dating her... Now, I'm not big into canned stuff usually, but I was reading some of Tyler Durden et al. stuff online, and wanted to try it out. I then tried to move from this into the girls being sexual predators stuff, but it seemed forced and it was obvious it was a failed pickup attempt because I was too tipsy to run it properly. It's a decent routine, in my honest opinion, as I ran it on two girls a couple weeks ago and got excellent results.
I have a couple little fluff convos in addition to this, but my mental faculties are too clouded to run decent game.
After this, it's clearly not going to get any better, so I just settle down with some people I know there and kick it for a bit, before calling it a night.
So, yeah, I apologize for this being so long, but I just wanted to see if anyone here has good advice, tips, encouragement or whatever. I know a lot of people on this forum want more field/date reports and such, and I agree that it's probably the best way to get a feel for this stuff before actually going out to do it.
