Field Report: April 19th, 2010
Solo, Day Game
Okay since my wing bailed on me - the last time we went was a week ago, but he had so much AA so it was basically just I who was sarging - I went out by myself today. It's been hard for me to get in touch with somebody who can do this regularly.
But anyway I still had AA. For some reason I could not approach because I think I was too picky and having limiting beliefs at that time with the women I saw. Took me about two before I had an approach. I told my self that I was going to warm up the way I did with Tyrone during the April 10th GSF. I talked to this lady while waiting for the subway about the bus and decided that I was already warmed up. So when I got out of Downtown Crossing, I thought I was warmed up, but I was still having double thoughts on either asking a bunch of HBs for "What time is it?" and not, thinking that I could open right away. Walked a few minutes still no approached. Still felt weird by the fact that I went out to practice picking up women.
I saw a friend of mine who plays the guitar in the Frog Pond, and I hanged out with him for about an hour. I went back to Downtown Crossing and went to TJMaxx. That's where I went with Tyrone also last week. I really thought that it was funny that I'm gonna open all the women I saw in there. lol I didn't. But I opened three today.
Here's my approaches:
1) One-Set, HB 8 Latina, at TJMaxx.
I said "Hey" to get her attention, then used the opener that Tyrone and I made up. The opener went like this, I had two items with me. One was a big plush ducky and the other one was a candle in my hands. I told her that my grandma's birthday is coming up this Wed (it really is), and it came down to these two items. She picked the candle, but I told her my grandma loves duckies lol. It made her laugh. She had an accent so I assumed that she came from Europe. She didn't get it, it was probably the language barrier. I asked her where she's from, she's from Mexico. Then I asked her if I look Spanish because I get that a few times. I suggested that we should speak in Spanish so that I can practice in broken English. For some reason the words that came out of my mouth just stuttered and jumbled, almost didn't make sense. It's probably because I wasn't warmed up yet or wasn't in a talkative state. So then I tried to keep the conversation going by complimenting on her dress. I had a hard time explaining that I like the thought she put into matching her shoes with her dress. I was thinking to hard on that time to make it more meaningful I guess. She said thank you but she looked on the other direction and was somewhat walking away. I said "thank you" quickly and ejected.
2) One-set, HB 7.5 Asian, at same store.
I said "hey" to get her attention. I used the "grandma's birthday opener", worked well and made her giggled that I said my grandma likes duckies. I noticed she had a drink, I thought it was Boba (bubble) Tea (a Vietnamese drink) so I asked her if she's been to Boston Tea Shop near Harvard. She said she's new to America, only been here for three-months. Then I said to her that she looks Vietnamese, I really thought she did. She said no, she said that she's Chinese. I told her how I distinguish different Asian ethnicity. I told her that she doesn't look Chinese because Chinese people usually have a flat face. She giggled it looks like she was blushing a little. I went to this another story. About a boy who was all suit up on a scooter and gave me a middle finger after I said to "looking good kid". Made her laugh giggled/laughed again. I went back to the conversation with the opener, because I had nothing else. Then I noticed her necklace, I asked her where she got it, I tried to kino by holding it. She seemed hesitant so I just quickly touched it. Okay so after that attempt, I tried going to the "Finger Length Routine" in order to put some kino. I looked at her hands and I said it "hmmm... funny." I don't know the routine well, I just saw it today on the internet. I asked if I could see her hand, she held it, but when I tried getting her hand she somewhat pushed back. I thought that was bad so I said "thank you" and ejected quickly. I think it was body language. I remember when the conversation was about to die thinking of what I could say next I would look around quickly thus breaking some eye-contact. I wished somebody video taped my approaches.
3) One-set, HB7, African American, at subway waiting for the train
I said "hey", did the Shady Friend Opener. When I was saying it I noticed that she looks way older than she looks, but she's a cougar. So I was smiling a lot when I was reciting the lines. I was thinking, "shit she probably knows that I'm hitting on her." She mentioned that she's old somehow in her reply, I didn't get to the second part of the opener. I just left and really quickly said "thank you". It was somewhat unintentional so I just left. I think I looked like a snob or a social retard when I did that. I've done this to few people where I've ran away in the middle of the conversation because I was somewhat afraid and I do not like that.
Last week, on Sunday I went with my former wing I noticed that I was so much better and really felt like I know what I'm doing. I think it's because the fact that it was the day after somebody coaching and the skills that I had learned were still fresh. And I went again this Friday before the weekend I noticed that I could not open like today. And when I did open, my delivery was very rusty. I guess that we really have to do at least one approach a day? To keep our skills cultivating and develop.
So yea having a coach to tell you what you're doing in field really helps and it's quick. And having a wing by your side, even if he's not actually gaming the same set can be very helpful too. So what I'm looking for is a coach and a wing.
Any comments and tips from today would really help.
Thanks,

As of right now April 17th, 2010 I am a beginner. This is my journey in becoming an awesome pick-up artist to a point where I can teach and mentor guys in my level right now.
So I delivered my opener. Her eyes seems to brighten up by this fun-jokingly question. She laughed and my coached told me after that I got her hooked. I saw some confusion in her lol, so I continued with she really likes Homer Simpson. But then I remember not to stick with the opener thread for too long. I said thank you and I complimented on the scarf she was wearing. She smiled and then immediate did a cold read on her. Then I told her that she looks like she's not from around Boston from the way she looks. I was right, she even told me information to where she was from. That was good my coached said. I told her that she looks like the type of person that like rock music. She was laughing and seem to enjoy my company and that felt good. She told me she actually likes indie music. After that I tried to connect with her by saying that I actually write songs and play music in the park a lot. For some reason I had trouble expressing that to her. She looked away, and put her clothes down, and looked for more clothes. The motion that she made discouraged me and I took that as an IOD. And I said thank you with a smile. My coach told me that I was trying to qualify myself to her. I should have told a bullshit story about how she looks familiar and saw her did something crazy while I was playing in the park. But now I learned my mistake.
