| 1st field report. Comments and suggestions more than welcome!
Myself and four more PUAs decided to head on to Langham Place, Mong Kok to sarge. A relatively posh looking shopping mall in Hong Kong. The place was packed with HBs, the male to female ratio would be around 1:5.
My PUA friend and I open a few sets, then we head on to a small accessories store. It didn't seem to have that much traffic and there were two HBs in the store HBHiredGun and another HB. I entered the set first under the pretense of having to look for a necklace. The HBHiredGun's was covered with makeup, had thick eyeliner and was quite responsive. The other HB wasn't quite attractive to me...I just fluffed a bit, testing out a few necklaces. She offered to help me put them on, some kino there. Touching my neck occassionally, but that wasn't IOI because he probably does that a lot.
Wearing a necklace, my friend soon entered, my friend soon entered, he then we asked them whether the necklace and my earrings together made me look gay. HB Hired Gun laughed a bit while the other HB said that her BF had 2 piercings and it didn't make him look gay. She soon leaves after a while. We stay longer.
After testing out some necklaces she IOIs me. "Where did you learn Cantonese?" (I am a non-Chinese.) IT'S ON! I say "By watching television". She laughs, she doesn't believe me. Then I tease her by asking her "Where she learnt hers" (She's Chinese) She's taken aback but answers anyway.
After more fluff talk with moments of silence looking as though I'm interested in the necklaces? My friend goes, "Do you know where the coffee shop is here?...it has a piano?"..."There are lots of such coffees shops in Europe when I was there."...HB hired gun "Hmmm...not sure". Friends goes "I heard there is one here, my friend wants to propose to his girlfriend in a shop like that by playing a song and playing the piano." HB Hired Gun "Oh! That is romantic!". Me " I heard that is one in Chung King Mansion (shoddy place with lots of minorities, most locals don't dare enter)"...HB "Oh really?"..."Have you ever been there, whenever I go a bunch of salesmen follow me around"..."Oh, I used to work there near.."...I stop her and neg her "Oh really, what did you do there? Sell curry?!".."No, hahahah, I used to work near there, as a salesgirl."
We fluff talk after that, I might not have expressed it in this field report but she was investing quite a bit and was quite open. My friend tells me to number close, I hesitate and get a bit tensed. We then went about talking about our age, she said that I looked like in my mid twenties. I told her to guess my age. Then when she got it wrong I told her to guess again. Got her to jump into more hoops. She got them all wrong. Then I asked her her age~
After more comfort building I felt as though I fell into the friends zone! Then I suddenly go back to the Chung King Thread, since she said that even though she worked nearby she has never been there. I say, "since you've never been there, let's go together" I place my phone near her solar plexus. I feel very nervous, I'm certain my eyes showed that. She hesitates, her ASD turns on. In a cool tone she says "I don't give my number to anyone." She didn't seem insulted though. Then I go, after pushing for it one more time. "Alright fine, if you don't want to then nevermind!" After a bit my friend and I eject.
Room for improvement:
1) My friend stated that I spent too much time building comfort, didn't qualify her. There was no reason for her to go to somewhere else with me. He advised to simply mention "Hey, you seem quite fun, give me your number, when I come to this locale next time we should hang out." Mine's was too direct and didn't provide a reason for her to go with me.
2) Greater frame control, when going for the number the fear of rejection was quite high. Should maintain "abundance mentality".
3) Should've kinoed her. Most of the time she was kinoing me, albeit, she is a hired fun she seemed relaxed and was investing quite a bit.
4) A phone closing suggestion given to me by a friend today. Ask HB what her name is, enter it into the phone. then ask her for her number "Hey, what's your number, does it begin with a 9 or a 6?" if she doesn't give say it again. Usually they do then.
Thinking of going back to reopen this set soon, but this time I would have to buy a necklace if I do so.
