Sorry for the long post... Hope it's useful somehow

I donned my recently bought club clothes and styled my hair for about 10 minutes till it looked half-decent. I wasn't nervous. I was actually exited.

My pretty much mundane day was interrupted when I called my friend and he reminded me that it was his sisters birthday. She was turning 16, and inviting her friends. Perfect. An opportunity to flex my gaming muscles and see what I can do.

I am pretty new at PU, but had moderate success over the past month since having first heard of The Game. Like many, I was blown away, and for three weeks I ingested nothing but game into my system, reading ebooks and watching hours of material. My first sarge was eyeopening, thanks to Mike, a fellow PUA, and I managed to get a number (and eventually a day 2) from a cute Asian girl (HB7). I then proceeded to work heavily on my inner game, and develop my C+F. Thanks to Tolle, my ego was being observed and in-check, and I was able to proceed nicely with my game-education.

Ok, so on to the B-Day. I went off to a Times Square restaurant to join the set. When I got there, I was a bit surprised: the girls where pretty nice looking. There where 7 girls, my friend, and me. He introduced me, and I said Hi to everyone. During the meal, I tried my best to look at ease, but I was still nervous. I turned to the right and started chatting with two HB's, running some C+F, small talk, and did a palm reading routine on the closest HB. My friend did most of the talking, and I just enjoyed the SPAM. I didn't really feel the need to prove myself by engaging the group, but I could feel I was slipping a bit. I noticed the B-Day girl putting on mascara, and did a cheap attention getting move by asking her to put some on me. Bam, the entire set stepped towards me.

A couple of negs from the HB's... I was expecting that, so I just played along and did not get offended. It was time to get going, so we set off to Sephora (expensive beauty shop). I made some fluff talk with a couple of the HB's, and then me and my friend split from the group to go find some sets. We where warmed up, and ready to take on anything.

We entered the Hard Rock Cafe, and took some pictures doing stupid poses in front of people to get our confidence up. We then proceeded to the reserved tables, where a giant golden Buddha sat on one side of the wall. I decided it would make a great picture, so I climbed up right next to the Buddha and did my meditation pose. At this point 80-90% of the eyes where on me and my friend, and people where amused. After those pictures, I told my friend I'll take some of him in the middle of the room. As we where about to leave, I spotted a two set of older girls; and HB6.5 and an HB7.5. I asked them if my friend could take a picture with them, and they said sure. He put his arms around both of them. A girl from another table asked if she can join in. We ignored this and took the picture, thanking the girls. As we where walking away, the table opposite asked us where we where from (the two set and this four set where apparently in a school band from Canada), and we bullshited a bit. We then started to walk away, when I realized that we just showed pretty nice self-confidence and social value... and it did not matter that I said 1 line to them (Can my friend take a picture), and that my friend only asked them if he could put his arms around them. We already displayed great body language, tonality, and most importantly, ballz.

Let's go get their numbers, I said. I told him to demand it. "Just say... 'Give me your number.'"

We went back down to the reserved tables. There where two more girls at the table now, but that didn't matter. We didn't care if we got shot down or not. I went up to the HB6.5, and leaned in a bit, got my phone out, looked her straight in the eye, and said "Give me your number." Without hesitation, and a puppy dog look, she recited the digits. My friend, witnessing this, did the same exact thing to the HB7.5. Hoo-Ah. My friends first number close. And we both said 2 short lines of dialogue each. Shows how important inner-game and self-image really is, huh?

We got out of there, and my friend did a hand stand in front a crowd of people while I recorded him on camera. We where feeling good.

We went back to Sephora. The group had gone to Toys R' Us. I told my friend to open a single set, and while he went after the target, I opened a couple of girls.

Allen: Hey guys, do you like my mascara?
4-set (wow, really? 4? fuck...): haha, yeah it looks really good.

So I ran the opener, commented on how the mascara brings out my eyes, and proceeded to talk. I mentioned how the mascara could go great with some eyeliner, which I had put on last week (for fun, of course). Meanwhile I projected my voice loudly, stood in a great posture (straight, arms on hips, legs not to far apart). I asked them where they where from, and proceeded with my C+F, which was done pretty naturally. I asked if they have ever been to a club here, they said no, so I responded by saying they where so lame.

Ok, so by this point, I had gotten all four girl's attention, and they formed a semicircle around me. When I talked to them, I turned my head slowly, so as to look each one in the eye. I don't remember specifically what I talked about (that really doesn't matter), but I do remember that my posture was alpha, and my voice was calm and cool. I always changed my age (15,17,19,22), and called them dorks whenever they said something semi-dumb (when I called an HB6.5 of the group a dork for the first time, she opened her mouth, and looked in disbelief, yet she was still impressed, and continued to listen to me) or commented how boring or lame they where (again, this was all done in C+F, and I said it like I half-meant it. After talking to them for a while, I decided to go for the number close.

I said something like. "When are you guys going to give me your numbers already," like I was expecting them too. I looked at the first girl, the HB6.5.

What's yours?... Oh ok.

I told her to pick it up. I called the phone, stepped back two feet, and waited until she picked up. She did, and then she quickly hung up. I stepped back into the group, and faked being upset "omg guys, she hung up on me!"

I then proceeded to the HB7 of the group. She had a boyfriend, so I went to the next girl, and gave her the phone, and told her to add herself to my contacts. I told the last girl, an HB8, the same thing and she complied too. They had to go, so I told them I have go and rejoin the B-Day party I am with. I told them to give me a group hug, and they all went in for the hug. I stopped the taken HB and told her that she was not qualified, as she had a boyfriend. She said she was, and proceeded to hug. They left and I fetched my friend.

We went back to Toys R' Us, and rejoined our group. We where taking pictures when one of the girls found the pic with my friend and the two HB's at the Hard Rock Cafe. They where all very curious and exited as he proceeded to change the story around a bit (it's not lying, it's entertaining the group), and DHV'd us both in his story, which the girls where exited to listen to. We went to play with Hoola-Hoops, and took some more pictures. I called one of the HB's from the 4 set, and told them to come hang out with us is Toys R' Us. We where there for like 4 minutes and then we left the store. They probably never went there, but it didn't matter to us. We where feeling great.

The rest of the day was punctuated by social fun like asking shoppers to take pictures of us, dancing with an Abercrombie hired gun (using C+F of course), chatting with a cool sales-rep, us using C+F and light negs (ignoring) on the 7 set, and a lot of picture-taking. Generally, we had fun, and did not really go hunting for sets.

The important thing is, we never really showed nervous or needy behavior to the 7-set, nor ever seemed interested. Our pre-selection became apparent. This was proved when a girl asked how did my friend brings girls home with his sister there ("I go to their house, duh"), and when an one of them slyly asked how many numbers I have gotten today ("Like 4." "Do you remember any of their names?" "Only 1"). Our social behavior showed social value (AFC Adam was right, coming pre-selected and showing social status are the next best things to a magic pill), and by the end of the night, the girls where very comfortable with us, and i could feel some of their attraction (some...) towards me and my friend.

It was pretty late so I split from the group and went home. It was a good day, and I didn't feel overexcited or too happy. I felt like this was normal, and pretty easy. I do have a problem with gaming alone, or gaming anywhere near the place where I live, but today the conditions where pretty nice, and me and my buddy did nicely.

Btw: Th four number i got are pretty much useless. The 4 set left for Ohio and the Hard Rock HB never returned my call. I am not surprised haha. This shouldn't matter though, as experience is golden
