Well, this was my first approach in a long while, and I went for it. Went out for the Newbie Mission at a local mall, but traffic was at an all-time low. Also, it apparently was Older Women Day, and I missed the memo. When it comes down to it tho, a person's a person, and the mission was only to say "hey," so I did that.

At one point I walked past one of the clothing stores and saw HB Mosquito. 10 (everybody has their opinions on rating, but after a certain point a beautiful woman is a 10 for me, what's the essential difference b/n a 10 and a 9?) Very petite, around 5 foot 4, c cup, long black hair, Indian. I walked back and entered. I asked about the scarf I'd seen outside, said I was shopping for a gf of mine, and her co-worker talked with me. Found out it was a "shrug," a more versatile version of a scarf. Learn something new everyday. . .

HB Mosquito went over an modeled a shrug for me. Very sexy. Chatted with her about the shrug. Then I meandered around the store for a bit. Came back and saw her scratching her elbow.

Me: Itchy?
HB: Yeah, mosquitos got me.
Me: Pesky little things. . .
HB: I got like 20 bites just going home yesterday.
Me: Geez, what do you live on a swamp? 20 bites?

Conversation petered out a bit after this. I def kept her laughing, found out about where she lives, that she works full-time at the store, little things. I also briefly opened the conversation to a customer who was listening. I had EC throughout the convo, but I couldn't really find a way to crank up a sexual vibe.

I finally just asked for her number. "Hey, you seem like a fun person. Here, put your number in so we can hang out some time." She said that her boyfriend wouldn't like that. I made a face-saving comment, and ejected soon after that.

Comments much appreciated. This is what I took away from this:

• I opened and engaged a HB 10. That's great experience. As I'm working out now, and will soon replace my glasses with contacts, my PV will only improve.
  Looking back on it, I see that I am a really engaging person. I knew that from the start. The problem, or sticking point, I see is pumping the sexual vibe.
  Also, I feel that I approached indirectly, with the impromptu scarf opener I used. I've been wanting to do direct game, and I feel that the jump from convo to asking for her number was a bit abrupt because of this.
  Lastly, I wonder, if anybody knows of a way to practice becoming more observant DURING the pick-up. Looking back on it, I don't think I got any sexual signals at all.

Sounds like a body language/kino issue bro. Remember to always be touching, even in day game.

the comment about kino is EXACTLY RIGHT. you know you have to make it sexual from the start. of course, it doesn't help much if she seriously had a boyfriend, but for girls sans boyfriends, you have to crank up the sexual banter. you're chatting. you need to be FLIRTING.

To be honest, maybe she hadn't had a boyfriend. I guess she just rejected you politely. Your little talk with her doesn't sound quit exciting. It has to be more KINO indeed. Like asking: where are the bites? If she shows her arm for example, touch it softly and say something like i can feel it, or whatever. Be more confident.
