| Day 14 COMPLETE(2nd try):
Yesterday I only did 5 approaches out of 30 needed...the day went aweful. Again I started late and I cared way too much about the outcome. I thought about what I should say...how can I make her give me her number (what that clearly wasn't the mission objective), she I maybe compliment her after I say hi? When do I tell her my name? How do I ask her out for coffee? And other such bullshit...
However today I managed to get into the right frame. I just didn't give a single fuck. I didn't care if she gives me her number or not (i'll delete it anyway), i'm a great guy (her loss, i'm just offering her an oportunity to meet me and I don't have time to waste).
I started early...and I barely managed to make 4 approaches (in a few hours...truth be told it was indeed early and not that many people on the street).
Then, as I was talking on the phone with a friend I see a girl (hb9, I was expecting her to say no way), I end the conversation with my friend and think I should go anyway:
me-Hi, i'm Anderson (initially she didn't want to shake hands)
me-Wow...you're cold...
her:-What's this about? What do you want?
me:-I just saw you passing by, I was talking to a friend on the phone. I ended the conversation and came over to talk to you, I would of regretted it all day if I didn't at least get your name
her:(shakes my hand and tells me her name)
me:-I'd like to take you out for coffee one of these days
her:-Wow...you're really direct
Me:-Well..you know...life's short
Her:-I don't even know you...(ASD; anti slut defence)
Me:-That's why we're going out for coffee.
Her:-Hmmm...
Me:-Here's how we're going to do it: you give me your phone number and when I call you if you feel like it you answer and we go, if you don't feel like it that's ok too. If you're not having fun and you want to leave while we're heaving coffee that's fine too, anyway that's what I'm going to do.
Her:(when she heard that I'm willing to just walk out of a date in the middle of it if it's going badly) -Kind of rough...
I take my phone out and give it to her to put her number it, then asks me to call her so she has my number. I told her "I hope you won't be calling me all day now" (I can't remember what she said, something like "don't worry about it"). We said goodbye and I moved the the next approach.
Balance(or..what's the word?Summary?):
-30 approaches, 9 phone number (it could of been 11 but I failed 2 at shit tests (especially the age one...maybe you guys can help), ALL OF THEM ARE GIRLS THAT I'D DEFINETLY WANT TO FUCK (mission selection criterion), 7 of them being girls that I considred up until today to be out of my league.
This is an approach that I failed at shit test:
Same opener, she was a bit cold and I tried to make her to tell me her name
Me:-I ran all the way here to talk to you, you can at least tell me your name
Her:You were going this way anyway
(can't remember what else we said)
Me:-I should get some points for coming over at least
Her:-Nah...you were really going the same way
Me:-No really, how many guys came over like this to you today? (here I tryed to underline the fact that I had the balls to approach her sincerily etc.)
Her:(hesitates, of course it's not ok to say you're not approached)-...you're right, today nobody
I convince her to give me her number, when I pull the phone out she asks me how old I am:
I tried to be slick and make a joke(that would make her think about sex):-Don't worry about it i'm legal....you can drink coffee with me legally.
She then changed her mind saying that i'm too young (I can't remember if I told her my age, anyway I said 20 or 21 (2 times I lied and said 21 instead of 20...I forgot about it for a second, other then that no lies all day).
Another sticking point -help-:
A few girls(about 2) asked me why I would have felt bad all day (or regretted) that I didn't approach them so I explained it to them (in different words probably, but the ideea is the same): if I see a girl that I like I can't just look at her and let her pass by, I need to go to her and try (I just have to know, I can't ask myself "What if?"). She needs to tell me YES or NO (I can't remember if I said that to her); then none of them gave me their numbers...Did I do something wrong or 2 girls it's way to low number to draw such conclusion.
Advice for newbies: Always, always and I mean ALWAYS push every interaction to it's conclusion (until she leaves); you never know: I could of missed about 2 numbers because I assumed she will say no. One of them refused to even tell me her name then she gave me her number even thought I asked for her number saying "i wanted to ask you out for coffee but since you didn't even tell me your name..." she then said YES (she said she didn't know what I wanted from her initially so she was defensive). Other girl said she had lost her phone (so I said ok, np, a good day to you too; I didn't believe her), she then said "no, no...I really want to go out of coffee, but I really lost my phone yesterday, here's my messenger ID).
"ALWAYS....ALWAYS PUSH IT EVERY INTERACTION TO IT'S CONCLUSION. ONLY CONFIRMATION YOU NEED IS THAT SHE STAYS" (60 yoc.*)
Now, looking back I probably should of told her my age and act like I don't care and it's a non-issue. What do you think I should of done?
I can gladly say that today I managed to get past a huge psychological barrier, a new world just opened to me today.
This is Anderson and I keep walking. _________________ Keep walking...
