Hi folks. Closed two last night (just number-closes), but the thing is I didn't really use any of the usual and recommended moves.
In the first case, we were hanging out at a friend of mine's apartment, and we kept hearing loud obviously female laughter and voices in the hallway just outside the door. So I went and checked through the eye-hole thing; sure enough, three perfectly fine specimens just standing out there talking by themselves, alone and unguarded. So none of the other guys wanted to do anything , so I just opened the door and just kind of stood there and looked at them for a second. Their convo stopped and they all looked back. One of them opened with a Sorry are we being too loud? Well that was a good way to open because then I said, Yes actually we're wondering what's going on out here. I was about to call the police. They laughed. I just said, What are you guys doing out here?? They said, Just talking. So I made a quick introduction of myself and I guess one of them is my friend's neighbor now so I told them to come in and have a couple drinks with us. Plus you'll get to meet your new neighbor, I told the one who lives there. They came in, we all hung out for awhile, and I ended up chatting more with one of them than the others (as usually happens) and at the end of the night I just said, Well I'm going to Bamboo Room now to meet some other friends but it was nice talking to you. Why don't we exchange numbers or something you know? She said sure. That was it.
Then at the aforementioned Bamboo Room I cold approached one who was just standing there by herself. In truth, I don't really KNOW all of the recommended rap down pat, so I just figured I have to wing it. All I said was a pleasant sounding Hello, how are you?? She smiled and said, Fine thanks, and you? There was then the usual banter about the place, the crowd, who we were there with (she was there with friends; I was out prowling alone ) and we did dance to a couple songs because her friends were out on the floor and I said we should go out there . Then when we got back to the bar area itself, where we'd first been talking, I just said Well listen I hate to cut this short but I have to go. I've got a couple other things I still have to do tonight. (I had sh*t to do except go home and have something to eat and go to bed). And then I said the same as w/the other one; It was nice talking to you, why don't we like exchange numbers or something you know? And again , like that other one, she said sure. And that was it.
So I don't know. Like I said, I don't really KNOW, per se, all of the real "moves". But maybe all this stuff that we read about and talk about on here and in other similar places online isn't truly always necessary? Maybe just going with a plain straightforward approach works just as well, at least sometimes, I mean without all the "opening lines", the Style-esque "demonstration of value", the "negging", etc., etc ?? Sometimes trying to remember all this sh*t you're supposed to be saying and/or doing just confuses you and makes you appear awkward, etc. ?? Just a thought. ~D
