I felt so good as this was my first real attempt at picking up girls, granted I was pretty sloppy because lets face it, I've been reading a lot lately and know plenty of theory, but never did I imagine practicing it in field would be so much different.

But that aside, I was running the routines on an HB8 and a hired gun (HB7.5-8), mostly for practice because I'm not confident enough to k-close or even # close yet. I was working on automating my verbals and working on my body language as well as observing their body language (The standard talk over shoulder, lean back, etc.), needless to say I was getting some IoIs and felt pretty good. My buddies told me I could have gotten the HB8's number, but I'm still lacking in confidence and not completely comfortable with it yet, so I need more practice.

Needless to say, I'm not the best looking guy, usually VERY reserved, and have (possibly had) massive AA, so doing this was a big step for me, but after last night, I want to go sarging all the time.

I have had my eyes opened, the game works.

congrats, keep at it. and yes, "the game" definitely works.
