FR: April 10th Sarging.
I just want to share this to the community here. It was two weeks ago with the lair in Boston.
Today I went out sarging with a bunch of guys from the lair in my city. Everybody was paired with somebody who has more experienced. I needed help so a senior member coached me. I did a lot of approaches today and approached women that I wouldn't on my own.
I worked on my body language today, opening, transitioning, and how to warm up. I practiced my body language in Macy's for about 30-minute just walking around. And my warm up was to ask what time is it. I did two quickly and decided to move on a real opener. It was to practice speaking that day to HBs and practice my tone of voice.
We were at H&M store, a lot of HBs in there. My grandmother's birthday is coming up in two weeks so we made up an opener that was based on that. So I grabbed an over-sized Homer Simpson t-shirt and opened with that. My opener was: "My grandma's birthday is coming up... but I came down to this shirt and a candle I found in Marshalls. Which one would you recommend?" I had good laughs. And some not, is due to my deliver of my approach was weak.
But there's this particular girl that I approached. I would have never approached a tall girl before but I did.

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.
We moved to a different location. We moved to the park. In Boston Commons. Nice sunny Saturday. Not too hot and not too cold. I was definitely warmed up. I used Style's Shady Friend Opener. So far that's been working great. For those approached that didn't do so well was due to my delivery.
Any feed backs are welcome. But I prefer who actually who have experience. My questions for this is:
1.) What would you recommend me to warm up? How do you guys warm up?
