Challenge: Day 17 FR
This was probably my best day yet. And it was a Wednesday! Fuck yeah, I'm totally looking forward to tomorrow and the rest of the weekend.
ch0n60 and I head out to Busbys in Santa Monica. I didn't do any approaches during the day 'cuz I was fucking tired. Too many late nights out and not enough sleep.
I hadn't eaten dinner yet, so ch0n60 and I grab a table and chill. I order some food: chicken tenders. It's amazing - Busbys is packed and it's a Wednesday night, but it's amazing in a good way. There are a bunch of sets to open. As we sit at the table, we notice these 2 really attractive blondes sitting at the bar. They continue to be approached by random guys.
I finish up my chicken tenders (with a little of ch0n60's help - I wanted to stop eating so I could talk to girls!). A total loser approaches the girls (OK, he's not a total loser since he did approach, but he's not holding their attention at all), so I tell ch0n60 that as soon as he leaves, I'm going to approach (Is this alpha? It doesn't matter. My opener was based on him hitting on the girls and him subsequently leaving).
Approach 1
So the guy leaves and I walk up, pretending to get another drink at the bar.
D: "So how did he do?"
HB Dancer: "He did terrible."
D: "Oh yeah? What did he come up and talk to you guys about?"
HB Dancer: "He wanted to know what was better, a guy who knows how to use his hands or a guys who knows how to use his tongue."
D: "And how did you respond?"
HB Dancer: "I couldn't stop laughing."
D: "haha. It's a good thing I asked you beforehand. I was going to come up and ask you the same question."
HB Dancer: "haha."
D: "you know, I have to complement you on your energy. I saw you dancing earlier. You seem like the laid back type. You're not stuck up. Would you agree that you're more of a laid back person?" (Credit Vince)
HB Dancer: "Of course. You have to be laid back in LA. (blah blah - I don't really remember what she said from here or what I said - mostly fluff talk)" Kino the whole time (arm, small of back).
HB Dancer: "What's your name?" (IOI)
D: "I'm D. What's yours?"
HB Dancer: "I'm HB Dancer."
D: "Nice to meet you."
HB Dancer: "Is that your friend over there?"
D: "Yeah, that's ch0n60." (waves to ch0n60 to come join us) "This is my friend ch0n60."
HB Dancer: "Hi, I'm HB Dancer (it's a good thing she said her name again because I forgot. haha. good thing for wings!). This is my friend HB Dress"
Introductions all around.
Fluff talk.
Girls start talking to each other and we are kind of lose them since we were talking amongst ourselves too.
ch0n60: "It was nice meeting you guys, we're going to go play some pool."
HB Dancer: "Cool, have fun guys."
D: "You too."
HB Dancer: "Maybe I'll have to come over and kick your butt at pool." IOI?
D: "Maybe you will. Come over and try later."
HB Dancer: "OK, I will." *smile* IOI.
Pretty much a takeaway. I felt I had built up enough attraction to number close her.
ch0n60 and I go play some foozeball and some fake pool.
Walk back around the bar and see HB Dancer again. Some other creepy guys are talking to her and and HB Dress.
The guy moves away from HB Dancer and she gives me *that* look that girls give each other when they don't want to talk to the creepy guy. I motion her to come over to me (trying to test for Compliance - she fails). She motions me to go over to her, so I show Attainability and walk over to her. Kino.
More fluff talk. Try to get her to dance with me, but she says the song sucks (more failed Compliance). dammit, where am I going wrong?
ch0n60 opens the set of girls next to us. Introductions all around. I befriend the guy in the set (1 guy, 3 girls). Disarm him. He ends up starting to talk to HB Dancer. No matter, I know his game pales in comparison to mine. I don't really care if he talks to her.
Problem: Douchebag (guy from the set ch0n60 opened) starts talking to ch0n60 and I exclusively. The 3 girls he was with wandered off somewhere. Now, HB Dancer and HB Dress are talking to some other guys. Friends of theirs? Maybe. Pretty good looking dudes? Yeah. Guys with game? Not so much. I'm not too worried.
I decide I better go find another set to open just in case I can't close HB Dancer.
Approach 2
Earlier, while I was conversing with the douchebag, the DJ had said it was someone's birthday. Easy enough for me. Find a group of girls, ask them if it's someone's birthday, and the approach is accomplished.
I walk up to the group of girls who I think is having the birthday, and ask,
D: "Hey, is it someone's birthday over here?"
HBs: "Yes! It's her birthday!" (point to girl making out with her bf) "Well, yeah, the girl who's making out. haha"
D: "haha"
HB Bday: "What's going on?"
D: "Oh, I just wanted to come over and wish you happy birthday. I heard the DJ say it was someone's birthday."
HB Bday: "Oh! Thank you! That's so sweet!"
D: "no problem, enjoy your birthday!"
And...ch0n60 and I walk off. In hindsight, I totally could have used that to integrate into the set. Asked her how old she is turning, etc. The other girls thought it was so sweet too. And the guys in the set I could have befriended. Fuck. Another wasted opportunity.
I have noticed that i did not have any hesitation whatsoever. I went up, and did the approach. This challenge is paying off. I need to do that EVERY TIME i go out, whether or not I'm doing a challenge or not. I hope this challenge leads me to do that.
However, at the same time, I need to approach and stick. I shouldn't just be satisfied with approaching just to get the approach in. I totally could have made that set last a lot longer and there were some cute girls in that set.
So ch0n60 and I go play another round of foozeball then go back over to the bar. We find our douchebag friend and ch0n60's going to take off since it's late. I want to stay back, have another beer, and talk to more people (also, find out what the hell happened to the bouncer/bartender we used to know - he quit, went to the other Busbys and is now in Europe, supposedly). I stay back and chat with douchebag and one of his friends.
I can see HB Dancer eyeing me. She looks over and smiles. I smile back. I finish my beer and walk over to her. Kino. Hand on small of her back. Tell her I'm taking off and it was nice meeting her and HB Dress.
I tell her, "hey, if you guys are interested in dancing, a couple of friends and I are going to Hollys tomorrow. You guys should join us."
HB Dancer: "hollys? Hollys west?"
D: "Yeah."
HB Dancer: "Oh cool. Let me give you my phone number."
(Fuck, I love when girls WANT to give you their phone number)
D: "Sure." Pulls out phone and gets her number. "OK, I'm calling you with my number. I'll call you tomorrow then."
HB Dancer: "I look forward to it."
Walk out. Woot. good shit.
Got 2 approaches in and number closed the 1 target I wanted for the whole night. Good stuff.
I texted her after I got back to my apartment and she texted back saying she's looking forward to my phone call tomorrow. Awesome, I know the number's solid. We'll see if she flakes or not. I didn't use anything from Vince for preventing flakes...oh well.
Money owed ch0n60: $50.
