Yes I agree, and it has really put me in my place. It is easy to know theory, but putting it into practice takes effort.
I thought I was good because I had only ever been blown out of one set in my life and have approach maybe 250- 300 ish sets. Well yesterday I decided to try the good old cold approach out. I got blown out.
Normally I would have just giggled to myself, but damn it hurt, probably because of my breakup and shit. I approached, over shoulder, but for some reason my words came out rather mumbly. That has never happened before. I have a large ego and am very confident aha. But anyway I opened half successfully then told them the C's vs U smiles.
I got from the obstacle 'you know, I aint really interested.' So I used the good old *stare* 'your such a little shit' *smile* ' you know I eat girls like you for breakfast.'
Then I turn to the target, ignoring the obstacle and continue with the routine. She told me to go away. I had to eject.
I know it was all canned standard shit, but seeing as it was my first time in the field since the breakup (yes I practised during my LTR, but nowt serious) I wanted to just break in gently and test the water. After that I got a slight bit of AA aha. I walked down a street FULL of hb 8's in a scene get together and only opened a warm set (knew a girl in there) but ddnt go anywhere. I understand that with canned material especially, they arent rejecting me, but it just made e think of my ex LTR aha.
I know what I did wrong. I tried to lock into the set straight away, didn't disqualify myself straight away, and didn't come across as alpha. My dress wasn't 100% either.
This is fucking my game up. I got possibly the biggest NV-IOI from a hb9 in a three set. Usually I would have walked up, and given a semi direct open/close:
'Right I will cut short with you, because I want to go meet my friends, but I love it when girls are confident enough to get some decent eye contact with me. Now you are real pretty, but you usually aint my type, however, I just got out of a 15 month relationship, and I found out that looks arent everything. A great energy and personality are more important. I noticed from the way
you looked at me that you are confident enough to just know what you want *point to self* and get it. But I need to know more about you. Name three things that would make me want to get to know you more than just another pretty fuck buddy.'
*answers*
'Okay I am intrigued, tell you what, I gotta go, but put your number in here *hand phone* and maybe one day when I am free we can hang out. Ill be judging you though, so
try to impress me 
'
*walk off, turn back*
'By the way, it's really cute how you blush so much' *EXIT*
But hey guess what, I didn't do it.
Well I have a date lined up for next weekend. Supposed to be with my ex, but im gunna blow her off for another girl. Ill give her the gift of missing me, and hey she might come crawling. Ill make her wait though...
I have two potential fb's. Things aren't so bad. I just wanna keep her safe and cuddle her. Shes so vulnerable and cute, my perfect 10 *daydreams* ahhh well.
