First, one thing. Here in Ireland a lot of foreign girls are easy(insecurities about being far from home IMHO), but I think this is still an awesome testament to the power of BL.

I was out shopping for a red shirt, following the advice of some people on the forum, when the assistant approached me and asked if I needed any help. It was at this point I noticed she was a hot blonde, great body, definitely gonna be a nine when the braces come out.
I stood up straight, made lots of eye-contact and smiled through the interaction. When I was trying the shirt on I told her to hold my jacket instead of leaving it on a rack(I felt this was the PUA thing to do). She looked surprised, but kept smiling. The whole interaction was great, as I have a way of delivering ordinary sentences, that for some reason, makes certain girls melt(I have a feeling it's something to do with my smile). Looking back, I firmly believe she was one of those girls.

So anyway she's ringing up the purchase at the register, everything's going fine. THEN she follows me across the shop to the door and when I'm leaving she makes firm eye contact and tells me to have a good night when I'm out tonight. Her body language is weird, it's like she wants something. I open my mouth and...

WHAM, ASD(my anti-success-defence kicks in). My inner AFC, who'd managed to shut up until this point grabs the PUA who has commandeered my body, drags him to the back of my head, goes to the front to do his thing And says "see you." Then he turns and walks away. PUA still knows what's going on. He can see her still standing there, in the reflection of the shop-windows across the road. But the (slightly freaked out at what just happened) AFC refuses to go back and walks away. Later tonight he will spank the sausage and realise what the fuck he just did.

Still, without running routines, without any props, (although I was dressed in a sort of badboy style), I firmly believe that through eye-contact and body language alone I could have easily got her number/made plans for that night with her.

What a fuckup...BAD AFC!

Comments, general insults please?

thanks, i really needed a mixture of coca-cola and snot on my laptop screen.


the AFC haunts all of us i think. sorta like an attempt at the k-close and BAM mouth is dry and you know that little friend known as halitosis is instantly there.

Hmmm...it's creepy, when you open people during the day (I even do this to middle-aged men for laughs) they're often quite desperate to keep talking to
you once you demonstrate some DHV by showing common interest/personality/whatever THEY DON'T WANT IT TO END. A situational opener, laid in the right place, is killer during the day.

Hey man, I have found that it is still rescuable even when the inner afc comes out in THAT scenario. As so...

HB: "Bye, have fun going out tonight."
InnerAFC: "Cya round"
Hb: still stands there.
InnerAFC: turns to walk away
InnerPUA: turns Halfway back... turning head too *disinterested bodylanguage* "You know, I actually am going out tonight. You should come with, when you getting off work?"

And all you have to do is wait for a response. This is like the fact that she is an afterthought and your body language is still very good. Next time don't give up so easy man. Even if you make an ass out of yourself (and god knows we all have AND will again) it is worth the time and practice.

Not sure if you were looking for a way to have turned that around or not... but I figured I would give you one anyway just in case your InnerAFC happends to try a repeat performance.

As per the rest of your statement, hell yeah body language is extremely powerful. People constantly underestimate it. That is actually the first and Easiest thing to work on in my opinion. Instead of doing the 1000 openers I hear most people have been doing (the newbie quest)... I have been adjusting my bodylanguage and eye contact stuff and only opening the women that I get the urge to open. (still a couple a day).

Anyway, great job with the jacket. If she is holding it then she has to follow you around AND if it is decent quality and smells good you get extreme bonus points. Tactile+Olifactory+Auditory+Visual = 4 outa 5 senses of her's filled with you. Now, I have a question for ya. Did she lick her lips while holding your jacket? I bet she did. People like to complete their sensory input with all 5 senses.
