Senior Don Juan
Guys, I just got a job at Red Lobster and I have been going through rigorous training for the past week. I've realized that becoming a waiter can give you a huge boost in your quest to become a true Don.
Here are some of the advantages:
1) You MUST go up to complete strangers and act friendly and enthusiastic.
2) Many of these strangers may be hot girls, and there is absolutely no chance of getting rejected.
3) You learn flirting, persuasion, and listening skills.
4) You improve your skills in describing objects and eliciting feelings in the guest, using adjectives such as "succulent", "incredible", and my favorite - "humongous." Simply by using certain adjactives you can appear to be an excellent and well-worded speaker.
5) You learn to be an actor, putting on a smile and acting friendly despite how you may feel on the inside.
6) You MUST memorize entire paragraphs, and practice them constantly.
7) You're getting paid! (And the amount actually depends on how well you do.)

Now, you may have heard that memorizing lines is pointless and that you want to seem spontaneous in order to be effective. Well, the key to spontaneity is preparation. This means practice, practice, and more practice.
I had to memorize and be able to recite a description of an appetizer, a beverage, and a fish entree. I practiced in front of the mirror, and then realized that in actuality I wouldn't be staring at myself when reciting these lines. So I went to my sister's room and got some stuffed animals and set them up in a table-like setting. At first I felt silly talking to them, but what I found fascinating is that when I made "eye-contact" with them, I got somewhat flustered and stumbled on my lines! After an hour of practicing, I had it down perfectly and I was also able to add more enthusiasm and personality. The next day I did an excellent job in the rehearsal training and I was complimented by all the supervisors.
Then it hit me. If I could spend one hour perfecting a short speech by myself and then doing an amazing job with real people, how can I use this to my advantage in getting laid? Patterns, i.e Speed Seduction! For those of you who don't know what they are, do a search on "layguide" and download the free version.
So anyway, I memorized and practiced my own version of one of the "incredible connection patterns." I went to a party later on that night and immediately turned on my playful "waiter" personality. Introduced myself to a girl, got a convo goin, busted some of my patented "judgement neg-hits" (I'll explain these in a different post), let loose with my rehearsed pattern, (which didn't even come out perfectly) and started making out with the girl. Got the digits and I will call her in a few days.
I'm convinced that my rehearsed pattern played a crucial role in this sweet success. It's almost as if my mouth was on auto-pilot, while my brain could think of something more spontaneous. Trust me, take the time to master this skill and you will not be sorry. I'm gonna continue doing this exact method and pattern just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.
