| So I've got my mates into this and we went out with on our first night of practice to get a feel for the game.
Well being the instigator i went first. I took us to one of the Irish pubs, we got drinks and had a look around and spotted a table with 6 chicks, I sat down and made my friend move so my back was towards them. We had our convos and I made a little bit extra effort to laugh at some of my mates jokes, out of all the luck, a mate from school walked by so I ran up to him and greeted him and the like (made me look better that I knew people). As I was coming back I noticed a couple of the chicks had a glimpse or two at me.
So after some more talk I decided the time was right so I turned to the girls and in doing this banged one of there chairs really hard (which she wasnt too impressed, and i approached a member from behind which was bad I know, but i couldnt approach from another angle really cause of the bitch shield (they were in a corner). I said "Hey girls (I wish i said guys), whats your opinion on guys crying?" (It was worded a little differently but I cant remember exactly). There response was "In what situation" and I said something stupid like "you tell me", so they said after a sporting game they could understand it or something, I was losing them a bit so I said "what about if he's girlfriend has just dumped/broken up with him" now this took and I was back in, they were chatting to themselves and talking to me about it, went well.
Now, this was my FIRST attempt, and I gotta be honest..... I never expected the opener (especially one so sloppy) to take, so as you could guess I had no follow up material prepared lol. So I did a bail and just said" thanks, you've just destroyed my arguement", something along those lines, and exited back to my friends.
It went well to be honest, like for a first go chosing a 6 set might have been a bit stupid (I hoped i used the term set in the right context) but it paid off. The big fear I had was openers, and approach anxiety, so now I've done it once and to such a big group I don't really feel so chicken sh|t about it.
So yeh wasnt too bad, except when i left I fuked up good. I was planning on saying something like "I'm just gonna go cry and try and build as a person" (I had NFI) instead i just got up and said "thanks for your opinion girls". My mates had a massive laugh at this and said up until then I didnt go so bad.
Yeh, its late im tired so this story probably doesnt read very well. But that was my first dive into this world on a concious level.
Edit: My mates and me worked out that the guys crying thing took really well because it was an open ended question and the guranteed answer is probably going to be "over what" or "what situation" and saying the "girlfriend break up" drew them right in and got it going really well. Though now I think about it, it is fricken patsy and might lower me on the social ladder thingy that mystery always talks about.
