I was at the mall a few days ago with a few buddies they went to a book store so naturally me being weird went into hot topic. Im looking around and I see this 4 set I decide Im going to open with something improv so I find the gayest looking bandana on the rack (rainbows on it..) this is how it went down.

KidReckus: hey can I ask you all something? do you think I could pull this off or would I just look really gay?

they all had a response they all said I could pull it off one even said "yeah your cute enough" I wanted to say something clever something along the lines of style's classic "Respect" line but I kind of choked and just ignored it haha

KidReckus: you guys seem like good friends do you want to take the best friends test?

4 set: yeah sure well play. ( ran the routine and it went perfectly)

during the whole sarge so far my target was being kind of reserved and out of the whole fun of the group so I realized I should neg her a bit late but better late than never.

KidReckus: so now that we all know each other let me ask you all something do you believe in ESP?

4 set: mixed responses

KidReckus: (I interupt) ok then lets do an ESP test. (directed to target) but you cant play I can tell your not a believer (she laughs)

I run the ESP routine and it works amazingly I got both numbers right on both girls playing, they were amazed and to be honest I was amazed I even accidently said "really?" when they said I got the numbers right haha.

anyway we made small talk after where they are from and all that. But as lame as this sounds I ran out of material and kind of choked I easily could have at least number closed with one of them but I didnt. I just said "well Ive got to go meet up with my friends ill see you around"

the good things that came from this

1. I gained a new opener the bandan worked amazingly.

2. I made a good impression and made their day because as I walked away I heard them saying how cool I was and how amazing the things I told them were.

3.experience nothing better then having a decent sarge even if I didnt really close.

so thats it. As usual any comments or suggestions are welcome.

sounds like you ran some tight game, just had a little trouble pushing the issue at the end, but that's ok.
Are you new to this? Because I am still fairly new and that sounds like what would happen to me when I tried to game at the mall. I would have no problem making good and interesting conversation, and then freeze up when it was time to go for the number close or something at the next level.

yeah im actually really new to this Im really trying to work on my mid game and close its what Im having the most trouble with.

KidReckus:

Think of a good friend of yours that you happen to not have his number.

You just realised this, so you think, "the next time I see him, ill ask him for his number"

Next time you see him, you know he WILL give you his number. Why?
1 - because you have the rappor with him.
2 - You are friends, and friends have each others numbers.
3 - You ask him for his number in a natural way. (Oh yeah dude, I need your number, so next time i'm watching the football game, ill give you a call, and you can join in) Or whatever. The point is that you would never tell a friend of yours: "Can I trouble you for your number, please?" (I hope so at least, hahah)


Get the point?

Next time you want to close, have this stuck in your head: IT IS THE NATURAL NEXT STEP!!!!!

so there is no reason why it shouldnt happen.

Think this way, and so will she.

It is natural for people who seem to enjoy each other's company to exchange numbers.
It is natural for people with sexual energy to kiss,
etc...

Hope this helps
