She was a french woman shopping alone. I opened her by telling her she was cute; she looked at me with a puzzled face, so I repeated myself, thinking she probably didn't hear me the first time. I guess I should've been louder the first time. I asked her where her accent is from; in retrospect, I should've guessed instead. That didn't end up going anywhere. I just froze and couldn't think of what to say next; her eyes averted from me which gave me the feeling like she wasn't interested. Should I have said "Look at me? or Are you shy?" in a somewhat commanding voice? I lost all confidence in that interaction and left.

Throughout the rest of the day, I opened two other girls. One time, a HB7 was trying to enter my apartment complex but was stranded outside because she forgot her keys. As I was heading out, I noticed her just standing, waiting, and when I opened the gate to head out, I playfully asked her "You're not going to rob us are you?". She said: "Yea I am going to rob you. No.. I just forgot my keys." I was kind of in a hurry, so I said, "Alright, I am letting you in this time, but I am usually not that easy." I felt like our eye contact lingered for longer than normal, but it might just be me. The other instance was when I was walking on the sidewalk and this HB9 was biking towards me without her helmet. When she came closer, I playfully asked her, "Where is your helmet?!" and she said she forgot it but is only biking two blocks, etc... all the while looking back at me in the distance. I was thinking it would pretty hilarious if she crashed into a tree right now. I wanted to say "Stop, come back!" but couldn't muster up the energy.

I feel like the last two interactions started off well, but I just lose the motivation to keep it going, because I am happy with just the fact that I opened and am scared I will fuck it up if I continue. It is easier to stay happy with what I have so far than risk getting owned. I need to increase my bar for satisfaction I guess, but not sure how. Practice perhaps; constantly challenging myself.

Would have definitely gone for "are you shy?" in a commanding voice. This chick froze up. Tough luck. But 'ey, game is a numbers game. You throw out a big net, and reel up whatever you can get. And if you reel up more you can be picky.

"This time I will be easy on you." This only works when you say it in a playful voice to insinuate that you are not just a tough jerk but instead tease her into giving a reaction. But then again many chicks have 0 skills at flirting so chances are I estimate a 85% that she thought you literally meant that and pretended to be some sort of security fetjitist.

You might have said: "Hey, come back!" awesome. But . . . What would have followed? Probably some fluff talk like: "Oh you live pretty close up here, well never saw you around here . . . since when do you live here? Why did you move here? Well I moved here to . . . . blah blah . . . ever been to xyz around here . . . blah blah, what do you like about this town so much?" BLAH BLAH BLAH.

You said you could not muster up energy because you prefer to be content with what you already achieved . . . Well just EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU ACHIEVE? Just some chick smiling at you. Oké pretty cute, but I would gladly trade that result for a can of sterilized corn or a sheesh-kebab. In fact, you've achieved nothing yet, you achieve something once you make it to the top of the stairs. Not if you take a step and step down again because you're so proud of your achievement.
