I've been doing this for exactly 9 days. I have spent 9 long hard days allowing myself to fuck up and get rejected in as many ways as possible. I had a mental breakdown after I embarassed myself in front of a sorority on friday, and that's just where I needed to be to start building myself and my reality again.
Today I started at the mall. I was quite nervous and still down from my last night out two nights ago, so I started small. I ordered a drink, made witty banter, no response. Talked to two girls at a clothing store. I made up an opener (while on my phone asked the girl to give me an adjective because I was playing mad libs online. She wouldn't give me anything.) I walked around a bit more before deciding "fuck it. I'm going to start fresh at the university."
So I got to the university and did 10000 times better! I got out and straight away asked a group of guys for directions. I saw a hot ass girl behind me and stopped her and asked for a cigarette. We discussed how odd her cigarettes were, then I asked where I could find food. She was really into me for some reason, but I had no idea how to do a daygame number close so I just left it. She even called me baby!
I went to the student center where I asked lots of people how to find a restaurant, had a foreign guy take me down the street to subway, walked back asked lots more people for directions, by then I was pretty warmed up. I found the restaurant/starbucks and made friends with EVERYBODY there. I was on fire. I even got to go behind the counter and stand by the fan while they made my tea, then got a free refill later on. I went up to four tables at the cafeteria and asked for a cigarette. Nobody had one. I went back to the student center where I talked to this 8 I went to high school with but was too scared to talk to, then made friends with the lonely security guard chick.
I thought damn, I can do all this but I still haven't done a direct approach? Fuck that.
I went upstairs and saw an HB 7.5 doing homework. I passed her several times, chickening out every time. I cought my breath in the hallway, then walked up to her. I barely squeezed out the words, "excuse me. I just saw me and thought you were adorable and I had to come and get your number." She smiled and gave it to me! I said, "alright cool. I'll shoot you a witty text so you'll know it's me." She laughed and said OK, then I walked away. I was so elated! That's all it took this whole time! What the hell was I so scared of?
On the way out I saw a hot 9 sitting by herself, I instantly walked over and said, "OMG! I just have to tell you you are absolutely georgeous!" She was completely shocked. I walked outside and found my new security guard friend and she FINALLY gave me a cigarette. We talked for a while, she said she was keeping an eye on the news truck outside to make sure nobody went in the building with a camera. She noticed the driver was gone, so I marched over there and knocked on the window. Just so happens an 8 was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Excuse me." I said, "I'm undercover security here and I am curious as to the whereabouts of the driver of this vehicle." She said, "he just went around the corner with a security guy." I said, "alright. I just need to make sure he doesn't go in the building or I'll lose my job." She lauged, knowing I wasn't a security guard. I left with, "Thanks! Be safe! Don't do drugs!" She laughed then we walked away.
I feel like I have discovered a new superhuman power. When I'm not afraid of people, I have the ability to befriend ANYONE! I'm a super charismatic guy! I just needed to figure out how to bring him out, and I have finally done that. Plus I have a number!
No more worrying about where I'm going to meet my next girl. I can just go out on the street, in a store, restaurant, wherever, and meet her. I can choose who I date now, not just taking whatever girl is interested in me. Once I brush up on my game for a few more months, I'm going to be unstoppable!
