Game: Day
Field: Whyte Ave and beyond
Wingmen: Selfish Gene
The phone rings, and a text reads ‘I have an approach exercise for you’. I stare at my phone with a smile. It’s from Selfish Gene. We meet up at city centre, and its good to see a friendly face after the shitty day I had on Saturday (don’t ask, work got the best of me – shit happens).
I’m glad to see that some of these faces are becoming more than PUAs now. A lot of them are becoming close and personal friends, who now have identities and I feel I can actually wing and vibe with fluently! (And that’s what it’s all about!)
We discuss some stories and we laugh and chill for a while as we drive around Whyte ave on the prowl at 5pm on a Sunday afternoon. Prior to this, I opened one set in the mall (set dry – like you wouldn’t believe….I’ve gotten way to comfortable with West Edmonton Mall; so I had to at least warm up with a hired gun, who was a HB 6 at the very best). The opener came out sluggish, but rather than being mad at myself on not hooking, I was relieved to at least try and push myself with no other PUAs around me (I’m slowly adapting it as part of me and not a switch).
After reaching the Hudson’s at the campus (which had no sets), we walked around Whyte ave, where I opened a two set at a music store who I caught through the window and abided by the 3 second rule, and immediately approached. They were fun, and I used the song opener/gambit, and actually negged them playfully once using the owner of the store to find the answer for me, ‘Come on guys….dead or alive…jeez, lol’ which made the interaction natural and fun. There was a lot of high energy and I left with a positive mindset.
We than ran some sets at the London Drugs while trying to wing each other (once again, stepping outside of a comfort zone, since I never winged with someone on my own choice before). The set was casual and it was a Hired gun, but the target did manage to get a few of her friends to get involved which made things interesting. But we both ran dry and walked away content.
I than ran a brief opener on the cashier who enjoyed the interaction (I like seeing people smile and get animated and involved…) I feel truly like I was bringing people into my reality.
Ran another set while playing pool with Selfish Gene with a waitress, and she seemed very cute and fun. And I would have enjoyed pressing a little bit harder in the set. I should have run some kino – maybe a game of some kind.
The only regret I had that night, was not opening a lone wolf texting on her phone on the way out. I was struggling with myself by the exit for four seconds, trying to turn around an approach her.
Alas I didn’t. So I came to a conclusion I rather see what happens than live with the ‘what ifs’. Opening a set and at least trying makes me feel good, versus not opening at all. It’s contrary to my Charismatic Nature () to not approach and be social able. So I am now taking that as part of my identity and avatar.
But I was glad I spent my day out and engaging people than staying at home clicking my life away on facebook.
Good times!
