Challenge: Day 1 FR
So after I get off work at 6:45, I go to the gym with a co-worker. I had expected to do a light workout since I was planning on getting in 2 approaches, but since my co-worker went with me, we ended up working out a lot harder than I had expected and didn't leave the gym till around 8. That severely cut into my approaching time. Dammit, but at least I'm getting in shape. (I'm seriously thinking about putting in an additional out clause for going to the gym - as in reduce the number of approaches from 2 to 1).
Anyway, head back to my apartment to shower and get ready to do some approaches. Go to a grocery store, known for tons of targets, and walk around. I walk around, walk around. Can't really find a good target. Then I see one, brunette, really hot, but I don't open on the initial walk-by. Dammit. I'm still trying to judge if she's hot enough. Walk back around, yeah, she's hot enough. Then some dude she knows starts talking to her. OK, maybe he'll leave. They keep talking and it looks like it's her bf. OK, move on. Walk around the store some more, but alas, there are no more targets. I decide to go to another similar grocery store.
Head over to the store. It's like 9:15 now. I'm running out of time...
Approach 1
As I'm parking, I see two girls get in the elevator to go up to the store. One's blonde and from far away, she looks pretty cute. Sweet, I just have to find her in the store somewhere. I get in the elevator and go up. Walk around and see the blonde. Yikes, she's not as hot as I thought. Damn "good from far, but far from good." However, at a quick glance, her friend is cute, but I'm going to walk around to make sure.
Walk around some more, and yeah, she is definitely cute. It's time for the first approach.
I walk up deciding to do direct. I'm cool, I'm calm, I'm going to fuck this chick! I start to say...and then get REALLY nervous...
D: "Excuse me, I know this is kind of random, but I just had to say I think you're cute." Fuck, it kind of stammers out...I talk too fast.
Wow, that was pretty bad. Opening wasn't that smooth, but I got it out.
HB: "Aww, that was very sweet and nice. Thank you."
D: "I'm D"
HB: "I'm Girl. Nice to meet you D. Again, thanks. That was very nice."
Alright, I can tell this isn't going anywhere. I fucked up the opening/body language, so I say "nice to meet you" and eject to go find myself some dinner.
I was on the verge of transitioning into a question, but I just couldn't force myself to get it out. Horrible.
Time to move on.
I pick up some dinner and some breakfast and head out back to my apartment.
Eat.
Make plans to meet up one of my friends later at a bar to shoot some pool just in case I can't get another one in after I eat.
Head out to another local grocery store. Walk around. I see two potential targets, but they're on the phone. I walk around the store THREE times and they're still on the phone. I say fuck it and leave, but not before picking up some protein bars and fruit. Not only is this challenge forcing me to go out, but I'm actually picking up healthy food!
Try to go to Border's, but they're closed. No matter, my friend calls and says he's ready to go to the bar.
Meet him and we walk over to the bar. It's kind of dead, but there are a few girls around. Grab the pool balls and start to shoot some pool.
It's starting to get late, the girls are paired off with dudes. Fuck, I need to get one more approach in.
Approach 2
After the end of one of the pool games, I tell my friend, I'll be right back. I'm going to go to the bar to get a beer (there goes that healthy lifestyle!). Grab a beer. There's a 2 set that just walks in and sits at the bar. They're not my type, but fuck, I need to get my last approach in. I walk over to them and say, "Cheers!" Clink glasses and then walk away. Haha. That was my 2nd approach. Kind of a cop out, but it was already almost midnight and I needed to get my 2nd approach in so I don't have to pay ch0n60 on the first day of my challenge. Haha.
Even though it was kind of a cop out, I think the line of thinking to open anything is beneficial to me. Even though I didn't really want to talk to those girls, putting myself in a social frame of mind to open anyone and everyone will help further down the line.
For not actually opening in over 2 months, I think this went as well as could be expected for a Monday night where I didn't get out of work and the gym till 8PM.
Tune in for the next installment. Hopefully, it will be better...
