by popular request, I am writing my journal. I don't see the point of this but I will do it anyway. am I doing it correctly? I just write what happened?

yesterday
at the library there was a brunette in a study room, alone with her laptop. I was printing at the library and I noticed her. she also noticed me through the glass. I opened the door and said "hey"
she say "hi"
I said "what are you doing?"
she said "just writing a report"
I said "for a second I thought you were watching porn"
she said "watching porn? Why would you think that?"
I said "IDK, you just seemed really excited"
she said "hehehe nobody has ever said that. no, I am actually writing a report. for my class."
I said "you know, you're really pretty, and I dont think you're wearing any makeup"
she said "no"
I said "yeah, you're naturally pretty. "
she said "thank you, I'm flattered"
I said "what's your number?"
she said "I am married, I don't think he would like that"
I said "yeah, he wouldn't like that" and I said bye.


Today
I went to the makeup store. no, not to buy makeup, to ask for directions. yes, I do have a GPS but didnt bring it with me.
very cute girl looking at something. I go up to her and say "you don't need no makeup, you already look good"
she said "thank you, actually, it's not for me, it's for my friend. it's her birthday today. but thank you"
I said "you have friends?"
she said "yeah."
I said "I am surprised that you have friends"
she said "why?"
I said "you just don't strike me as the type of girl who would have friends"
she said "um...thank you?"
Then I stood there and looked at her and she says "can I help you?"
I said "I am just speechless, I dont know what to say"
she kind of giggled, I dont know, nervous? flattered?
I said "what's your name?" and she said "Erin" I shook her hand and I said "I am also Erin"
she said "you're also Erin?"
I said "yes"
I said "what's your number?"
she said "actually, I have a boyfriend"
I smiled
she said "no, really, I do."
I shook her hand again and said "why is your hand wet?"
she said "no, my hand is dry. your hand is wet" (she is right, I have sweaty hands, especially when I'm nervous.)
I said "that's because I am nervous."
we said bye.

Un-fucking believable!

Bart,

You are on your journey. Others may critique your encounters, but I prefer that you learn.

Your boldness is going to give you the pick of the litter. The honesty that you inject is priceless.

Do it again, adapt, rinse repeat.

Log it.

Nice work, just a couple of tips:

You can still ask for directions even if you know exactly where you are and where you're going.

Next time you encounter a married girl or a girl with a boyfriend, you don't have to eject immediately. You can continue and try to network with them. It's important to just have friends and meet people through connections.

Today I went to a clothing store. I went to this cutie who was looking at something and I said "excuse me, what time do you guys close?" she said "I dont work here."
I said "oooooooohh...I thought you work here. Those are nice eyelashes"
she said "thanks"
I said "can I have them?"
she said "no, they are fake"
I said "oh, they are fake? they look good on you. where are you from?"
she said "England"
I said "I have an uncle in England. his name is Alex. do you know him?"
she said "no"
I said "do you live here or are you going back to England?"
she said "going back"
I said "how long are you going to be here?"
she said "3 weeks. I am going to vegas in about a week, and the dominican republic the week after."
I said "can you take me with you? I am tired of the life here"
she said "sure, you can come in my suitcase"
I said "I can come in your suitcase?"
she said "yes"
I said "which definition of come are you referring to?"
she looked to her side and laughed, as if she didnt want me to see that she is laughing?
I said "can you buy me a ticket?"
she said "no"
Then I started getting nervous because I could not believe I just said the "come" paradox. I was thinking "omg that was so inappropriate"
then I said "nice chatting" and left
everything was going so well but I just couldnt go for the number. I dont know why. maybe the possibility of her saying no was too much for me to handle? or I am not prepared for the best. it's like I dont know how to react it when someone likes me?

later in the store, I saw her with some guy, maybe her brother, maybe her boyfriend. by their body language, I am guessing her boyfriend. but this is irrelevant. the fact is, I didn't push as far as I could have at the time that I didn't know the guy existed.

I was reading this and my criticism was that you keep joking and that's usually the sign of nervousness. However, the comeback to "come in my suitcase" was a thing of beauty. I think if you could flirt more and tone down the jokes, you'll be gold.

Thank you for the criticism Jack. I dont know the difference between flirting and joking.

Tbh I'm not seeing anything good here...more socially awkward conversation than any kind of seduction. Maybe I'm missing something but this sounds like cringey

Flirting is showing attraction without being too serious. When you complimented her lashes was a good opening which could have led to a good flirtatious follow up. Instead you made a joke about her giving them to you. It's not about her and you when you did that but instead it becomes a random statement that came across as awkward.

Not necessarily doing it wrong because women may still be attracted to you, if they like your humor and even awkwardness, and there's a chance that she'll pull the trigger on expressing her attraction to you, but that's not how women work most of the time.

Bart. Kudos. Keep pushing that envelope.

As a general rule, the biggest difference between joking friend signals and signaling sexual interest is, well, sex.


Nearly all accounts of flirting include some form of subtle sexual innuendos and, to the inexperienced, can sometimes seem harmless.

Adding sexual innuendo with humor helps lower the creeper factor. Like cooking, we can all read a recipe. A great chef knows how much of each ingredient to add.

Attraction is, a mix of emotional and physical chemistry, if all you you are doing is trying to build an emotional connection by simply being funny, while ignoring the sexual aspects, then you’re going to have a platonic relationship instead of a sexual one.

There are differences in how you interact with someone who you’re interested in getting to know as a friend, and someone you’re hoping to see naked.

Keep refining Bart.

But you don't need to verbalize sexual interest, you can show it through your body language, which may be a good way to avoid being self-conscious in the beginning of pick up, while you're getting more experience to handle things in a different way.

I find this thread highly entertaining, so please, continue. You're doing a good job.

Come on man give us more!

I keep talking about your journal with people in the chat because of how funny and great it is. I think you would benefit from my analysis of what you're doing RIGHT:

You go into approaches without a plan and just say whatever comes to mind. Nothing demonstrates this better than:
Quote:
I said "I am just speechless, I dont know what to say"
This is really good. Most guys freeze up because they feel like they need a plan. You don't. The key to a successful pickup is being in the moment and you follow that to a T. You have no filter and it's leading to HILARIOUS conversations. If they're this enjoyable to read, I can't even begin to imagine how fun it'd be to actually be the girl being approached by you.

Your main sticking point seems to be that you're rejecting yourself and ejecting too soon for the most part. Get more comfortable with sexualization and women in general and you'll be among the best of us.

With that said, keep writing more plz
