FR: The Return of D
Well, I guess it's about damn time I got back out there and started writing field reports. It's been too long. WAAAAY too long. Fucking work has kept me locked up for the past 2 months. Before that, there were other field reports, in-club make-outs a couple of times, but I was too lazy to write it up. Anyway on to this past Friday's FR...
Went to happy hour with coworkers at Westwood Brewco, nothing happening there and nothing really catching my eye. I thought tonight was going to suck as I couldn't really find anyone to sarge with. CG was in SD and Top Tier was going to Vanguard, an Asian club -- I used to promote for an Asian club, so I'm totally sick of that scene. I wanted to do something different. I want to push myself to become a better PUA. That has been my theme for the last week and a half: pushing myself out of my comfort zone. Getting back to where I was, becoming the social, outgoing person I was towards the end of June before I started my new job and stunted my growth as a PUA. It's time to finally become who and what I set out to become. It's about time I became...D.
So after Brewco, I was planning to go to the W in Westwood with my roommate and another friend, but my coworkers decided to go to a wine bar in Santa Monica -- Bodega. I figured, cheaper drinks and probably a higher probability of hot chicks at a wine bar, so I decided to go to Bodega instead of the W in Westwood.
Got there and got a beer with the coworkers. I tried to get one of them to open, but of course, he was too shy. He says, "it's so hard to approach girls when they're not facing you." Yeah, it is, but that's why you get up and approach them from the front. At least he knows not to approach from the back. I'm getting antsy so I decided it was time for me to stop being a pansy, turn on the game inside, and get this shit started.
There was a 2 set sitting opposite us, a HB 8 and her chubby friend. I would later discover they were part of a larger 4 set, but it didn't seem like it when I saw them, so that probably led to this set's downfall. Anyway, I get up and decide to open with a situational, indirect opener. I walk over, sit on the table in front of them and open...
D: "Hey guys, quick question. What's a better party drink? A long island or a red bull vodka?"
UG: "Oh, definitely a long island."
D: "Oh, so you are THAT type of girl...i see. The one who can only have a good time when they're fucked up. "
UG: "No no no no. I didn't mean it like that. "
D: "What about you? what do you think?"
HB: "Well, i think a long island would probably be better."
UG: "What do you think is the better party drink?"
D: "Well, for me, when i think of a party, I think of having a good time for a long period of time. I don't need to be fucked up to have a good time. It helps, but it's definitely not necessary. I'd rather be able to hang and last for a longer period of time."
UG/HB: "that's probably true. Yeah, I think that's probably a better choice."
*Goes into fluff talk - where from and how old, etc. -- don't really remember*
HB: "We're going to go smoke, we'll be back."
D: "OK! I'll see you guys later!"
It was a good opening set. Good way to get my feet wet again. It's been over 2 months since I've actually opened, but I was able to hold them in conversation for over 10 minutes. It was a good start. If only I had known they were with 2 other guys who were sitting away from them and were really quiet. i would have disarmed the guys and included them in the conversation. Also, it would have made isolating my target a whole lot easier knowing that the UG had friends she could have talked to. Anyway...
I return to where my coworkers are and I want to open this set behind me, but their body language is pretty unreceptive, so I tell my coworkers to open them so they don't feel left out and so that I don't look like I'm girl-crazy.
They actually do open them and they're talking with the girls. The girls are actually not as hot as I thought they were, so I wander off to get another drink with another coworker. I see a 3 set: 2 HBs and a dude. I'm so amped up to sarge that I'm completely over my AA and decide wtf, I might as well approach. I approach the dude to get rid of the cockblock. I wanted to open him with the "cheating girlfriend" opener, but it's been so fucking long since I've sarged that I forget how the fuck it goes. I tap him anyway and begin to say something to him, I don't remember what. He kinda looks at me and shrugs. The girls then tap me and say,
HB Boston: "Your friend over there is pretty weird."
HB Friend: "yeah, he offered to buy us drinks and then took it back."
D: "What? My friend? I don't even know the guy. I was just going to ask him a question."
HB Boston: "Oh really? He was saying something about buying us drinks and then changed his mind and told us to buy our own drinks."
D: "Wow, that's a weird line. I think he wants to talk to you guys. So how'd he do?"
HB Boston: "He failed miserably."
Everyone laughs
I don't really remember what we talked about, but we did some fluff talk. I qualified them and made them work for my attention.
HB Friend: "So why don't you buy us a drink?"
D: "Jeez, you're such a brat! I'm not that easy. Your friend here is such a brat."
HB Boston: "Haha, I know. We can actually pay for our own drinks. We're pretty successful."
HB Friend: "Yeah, but your "friend" is weird."
D: "haha, you'd like him to be my friend so you can get free drinks, huh?"
HBs: "Hahaha."
More fluff talk. I find out HB Friend is from OC, really close from where I'm from so we connect on that and I'm able to disarm her as the cockblock. I find out HB Boston is from Boston and she is my target. She's easily the hottest one in the bar tonight. However, they're like 28 and i'm 25, but I play it off and keep pumping the buying temperature with tons of kino, frame control, and qualifying. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly what I said. my coworker is trying to buy me a beer, but i keep waving him off 'cuz i'm in set and it's going well. I don't want him to fuck it up. He doesn't know about the game. I used VAC pretty well. I inherently had value and was able to DHV by qualifying them and making them work for my validation. I was able to display attainability because I told them, "you guys are so much fun to hang out with. i like how i can have fun with you. are you always this outgoing?" I don't know if I got much compliance, but by just having them let me be there, they were giving me basal compliance. So... I keep talking to the girls and eventually, I'm like fuck. I need to go back to talk to my coworkers. So I say to HB Boston: "hey, I should get back to my friends, but I'd like to see you again, what's your number?"
HB Boston: "it's... ### ### ####"
D: "awesome, I'm going to call you."
HB Boston: "OK."
D: "Do you remember my name?"
HB Boston: "Um..."
D: "man, that's so fucked up. How can you not remember my name?"
HB Boston: "..."
D: "It's Darren. You better remember it when I call you. You're not one of those girls that forgets people's name when they call you are you?"
HB Boston: "No no no, i'm not like that. I'll remember your name and who you are now. I'll be sure to return your phone call."
D: "Awesome."
I give HB Boston and HB Friend a hug and say goodbye.
I walk back to my coworkers who look at me in amazement that I number closed the hottest girl at the bar tonight.
I love the game.
