It was thursday night again, students night out in San Sebastian, so I went out with G. and some other Erasmus students. I had been frustrated about my results and state of mind the previous week, and as an experiment I tried not drinking while going out. I really want to take the development of my social life seriously, and since various PUA’s recommend not drinking, I’m going to try and stick with it. The first bar we went to, I had been to a couple of times before. Because the majority of the people going out are Spanish and speak little English (and I speak little Spanish) I had prepared an opener for Spanish girls. I wrote several Spanish words down on small cardboard memorizing cards and instead of writing the English definition on the back, I sought out to get the answers from girls in the bars. The words were: wink, wiggle, overbite and stoned.

Using the cards I opened a girl sitting alone at the bar. In basic Spanish I told her I was learning Spanish while I was trying to do the body rock conveying a time constraint. I asked her what wiggle was, which she tried to enact by shaking her body. I laughed and took a few steps away only to reopen her 10 seconds later for the word wink. She winked at me laughing and I laughed back. I didn’t know where to take it from here, but the energy was good. The frame, however, felt kind of weird. I didn’t feel like an alpha male tricking her into winking at me, so at that point I changed my ideas for the wink card. I think it’s a better frame to act like you’re weirded out by her winking at you and pointing at the card again as if saying “Umm.. ok… I just want to know what this word is you weirdo”. But that’s a lot to convey with just body language and facial expressions.

In the same bar a little bit later I was thrusting my hand to a house beat with a smile on my face when I made eye contact with a small Spanish girl at the bar. She smiled at me and imitated my facial expression. I tried talking to her, but she couldn’t understand my English and I had nothing to say in Spanish. I decided to run Mystery’s photo routine, taking out my camera and making a serious, fun and a kiss picture. While doing the routine I knew I didn’t have a way of asking her if we made a nice couple, but the energy was good and the pictures where cute. I didn’t know how to follow up after that, as we don’t speak the same language. Additionally it seemed like she had something else on her mind, like her boyfriend was walking around there as well, kind of a weird vibe.

After the first bar we went to a club near the beach. On the way there I met a HB3 who has been stalking me the last couple of days. She walked with us to the club offering herself to me multiple times, I did not react. Once we were in the club, she kind of hung around me. In the club the music was a lot louder than in the bar and I could not get myself to approach any sets from this point on. This club is one big dancefloor, which I’ve learnt I should be avoiding, right? There were some sets roaming the sides of the dancefloor, where I was, but the combination of the music being so loud and there being a 90% chance that they won’t understand me, I didn’t have the courage to sarge. I need to find out what to do in those kind of situations, because the club was the best place yet for HB’s.

I have the following questions:

- What do you guys think of the card routine for opening chicks that don't speak English?
- How should I generally approach sarging when I don't speak their language?
- Any tips on getting over my sticking point of opening sets in a loud club where they don't speak English and practically everything is dancefloor?
- How do I ditch an ugly chick that's stalking me without being a total ass and thus spoiling my chances with her possible friends?
