okay so my friend Big Time and i were at hookah bar a couple nights ago and we got there late (because that's what a couple of 18 year old guys can do on a saturday night considering we don't have fake ID's yet), but anyway we got there late, around 12:45-ish so there weren't many people there but i saw this HB about 7.5 in a one male two female three set and this being my first time i figured i should start low.

So anyway, my nerves were jumping off the wall. i'm not new to the game when there's a medium in which i've met the girl previously, but i SUCK at just going up to a random person and trying to pick her up. So he got me laughing and then i calmed down a bit so i decided to man up and go for it. this is basically how it went down.

me: So my friend an I were having this heated conversation about something really important and i really needed your guys' opinion. (pause)
i really need to know.. should you FLOSS BEFORE BRUSHING OR BRUSH BEFORE FLOSSING??
hb: she started busting up laughing.. so i took that as an IOI
male: blah blah blah
male's girlfriend: blah blah blah
me: see my friend thinks if you brush BEFORE you floss your breath will stink.. (then i negged the hb) I bet you brush before you floss dont you??

at this point everyone laughed.. even she was laughing. but then.. i hit a snag and choked, and by the time i thought of something good to say it was too late so i said "anyway thanks guys " and walked back to my friend.

i seriously feel like i will never be scared to talk to random girls again. i know this isn't an original opener but i think it works a little better than "who lies more? men or women?" in this SPAM if any of you have ever been to a hookah bar, i'm sure you know what i'm talking about.

but yeah, overall it was an interesting experience.

Sounds like you had that chick in the bag otherwise. Take it as a confidence booster that you can successfully make contact and try it again.

I would look at this as a success. set goals for yourself, and start out small at first.

Set little goals for yourself

*tonight i'm going to open 10 sets

*tonight i'm going to open and hook my target <-- what you did, and where you stopped

*tonight i'm going to open and move to A2 (male to female intrest... DHV)

*tonight I'm going to move to A3 (female to male interest... qualification)

Thats why the MM is so great for the socially inept... each step is like a little building block, you can learn one block at a time, then just set a new block on top of it when your comfortable...
