On the boardwalk

I decided to hit up south beach yesterday instead of going to my the bookstore as it was real nice out, and wanted to change things up a bit. As far as sets went it didn't go so well, but looking at it from enjoyment I had a pretty good time alone.

I decided to carry a book with me while I was going to be walking up and down the boardwalk and perhaps stop every so often to read, or use it as an excuse why I was out there. Since I was wearing long jeans I and sneakers the beach or saying that I was there to tan was out of the question.

So I started walking towards the pier where lots of people where fishing instead of towards the food stand, I figured I would go that way on the way back, and this boardwalk is very long too.

1) The first person I talked too, actually opened me, don't get any positive ideas it was a 41 (I think) yr old man. I stopped walking to text on my phone, and he was nearby and said something like "there a pain in the ass aren't they?" I said "Ya". When I was done texting I leaned on a nearby bench to try and send out a signal, I think he re-opened then with "You can't live with em and you can't live w/o them" I laughed and said ya. I decided to talk to him as to get me in the talkative mood, and was wondering if he was doing the same. We talked a bit out the beach, and how nice it was out, and some other stuff. He finally lit a cigarette and I wanted to continue to try and find GIRLS, so I said something like it was nice meeting you and said I was going to get going.

2) I saw a cute girl maybe a 6.5 laying face down on a chair near a live band, and a person that looked to be her mom on the phone sitting down on a nearby beach to her. I wanted and should have approached her, but felt weird cause she looked a bit young and if that was her mother it would have been awkward.

3) So continuing down the pier I get to the all the fishermen and there many poles. There wasn't any girls for some reason so I leaned on the railing to take in the nice view and sea air. I decided to talk to some of the guys there fishing, and we talked well about fishing for a good while. I came here for a reason to meet and talk to people so I might as well talk to these guys. I learned quite a bit about fishing there, such as you can only keep a fish that is a certain size like at least 12"; This is so the babies can grow up and can reproduce.

4) Finally a GIRL, I was walking down back the way I came, and saw an ice cream truck and said hey I'm going to get an ice cream cone damn it, I haven't had one in years. Now somehow fate would have it that I 7.5 brown haired girl ALONE ended up walking in front of me and was getting one as well. Unfortunately the ice cream truck was about 20 feet from the live band that finally started playing. I said I would open her, but found it hard to do so while I was standing behind her. I could have said something like "So many good things to eat how to choose, and then asked what she was getting", but I never think of these kind of things at the appropriate time. She actually got her cone and sat down on the bench nearby, where I sat down next to her after I got my cone. I opened with Kate Perry, then transitioned to what brought her there today. She said she was with her cousins and waiting for them or something, she then kind of turned away of me, and just licked her ice cream. I felt it went dead, that and I had a brain fart couldn't think of anything to say, in fact I only did the girl part of the routine. So it was short, but at least I talked to a girl while I was there.

After that I walked back to the entrance where I came from and sat down on a bench while I tried to think of what I wanted to do next. I really didn't want to walk up and down the boardwalk anywhere, and was enjoying the cool breeze and view from the bench. At some point that girl I opened passed by talking on the phone alone, guess she wasn't with cousins... I actually staying sitting for almost 45 minutes, just relaxing, and there was a cool breeze so regardless of wearing long pants and a dark shirt I was actually very comfortable.

Day 3 with E

Me and E had out D3 today (well last night), started off at the mini golf place, and I have to say it wasn't was fun as I normally would have during it mostly cause we didn't keep track of anything. We just went from hole to hole taking our few shots to get the ball in. I took this opportunity every few holes to really mess around such as: Played like a game of pool, blocked her ball from going in, knocking her ball out of the way to hit mine, things like these. I also made sure to kino as much as possible and did fine, but it seemed like we "Rushed" through the 16 holes (I don't understand why only 16) and when we were done I felt like ok well that was kinda fun, said "Lets go back to my place relax and watch a movie" she asked something like do you have any good ones, I told her about the movie I planned for us to watch which was "Serendipity". As we got close to my house I said "ya know what, I want to show you something" and we parked in front of my house then took a walk to my nearby beach and got to see part of the sunset that I planned on showing her. Just in time too, although the sun was only partially showing still nice and we sat on a bench, relaxed and talked a bit. Afterwards we went back to my place and I popped in the movie and we began to watch.

Oh by the way when we got to the beach I leaned in and kissed her for the first time that day, when I picked her up I went for a kiss on the lips but somehow got a cheek and a hug. But when I kissed her on the beach she had this BIG weird smile with her teeth showing like it was unexpected and not what she wanted. I played with her hair a bit too while we were sitting, and did some light kino, although I was trying to figure out how to do more. Afterwards we went back to my place place and I popped in movie and we both laid down on my bean bag.

Did all of my "Making out" techniques, neck kissing, sexual touching of arms and legs constantly, French kissed once (by request), I kinda did the lip sucking. But it seems like it couldn't go anywhere, at one point I was semi on top of her with our legs kinda entwined and I got "pushed" off somehow, she repositioned herself and I wasn't on her anymore. The French kiss was weird, I tried a few times to stick my tongue in her mouth but it wouldn't open and I would giggle. At one point she said "what's so funny?" I said nothing, and she pushed the question I said "I don't know, I'm not sure" about a minute later I tried to do it again, and giggled again and told her "Ya know what I know whats funny, I'm hurting my back by trying to kiss you in this position" She said something like "oh I'm sorry your back hurts" and I repositioned and continued to kiss her. I realized though what I really was giggling about was that she sucked at kissing, and that this was getting no where, not sure why I thought that was funny but oh well.

After a while I got really uncomfortable in my position of being on her right side, and thought I would have a better position to make out on the other side, that and my arm was falling asleep holding her in that position. So I told her I wanted to switch sides, we did and I waited a while before I moved in again. At some point I realized that this wasn't going to work while watching the movie as we both were getting into to so I figured I would wait until the end, and just keep touching her in the mean time. I tried stopping every so often as to maybe get that "tease" going where she would miss my kino, but that didn't seem to affect her at all. In fact I don't think that it turned her on exactly, I did it was sensual as possible and just like I used to do with Alania.

After the movie I really went in for "pushing" the making out as much as I could, somewhere in there she repositioned herself and sort of pushed me away in the process. That was the end of the kissing at my place, but got 3 kisses in the car when I dropped her off at her house. So after that we kind of just laid there relaxed and talked a bit, and I made sure that I felt no uncomfortable silences. She reinitated the conversation a few times and I remember her saying at one point "Next time we hand out we should go to the city". Finally she said "Lets get some coffee" I looked at the time, really didn't want to get coffee or spend anymore time with her, and knew if we left the place that would the end of it, but said sure. We sat for a minute to discuss which Starbucks might be open at 10:30, and decided that one of which was kinda close might be open and we took off to go see. It was and she got tea, and I got my tall Moca Frap which is prolly the only reason I'm still up now (midnight) typing all this shit. We drank and we talked, I did some light kino on her leg since we were sitting perpendicular to each other at a table. Then we finally finished up and I drove her home, we mostly listened to music on the drive home, with light talking.

When she was leaving the car she said thank you, and mentioned something like "I'll give you a call sometime" I don't know if that was her way of saying "Don't call me, I'll call you". Overall I really only had a so so time, got basically no where sexually, and felt she felt the same. I don't particularly want to see her again and at this point in time don't think I will. Now I just have to figure out what to say to her the next time she messages or calls me. I'm thinking now that I might just put her in the Lets just be friends zone because at this point I don't think it's going to go anywhere. Plus another date isn't exactly what I'm looking for, so I think hanging out whenever would be more likely.

Day 2 with E

This was on 6-14-08 I just didn't get around to actually posting anything as I was keeping it private. But I decided to share some information on how D2 went before I could post how D3 went.

Ok so I finally went out with E... The date itself went pretty fine and fun. We started off having her come to my place to get familiar with it, so it's not some crazy unknown place when I bring her back later. All went well there, she came in I went to the bathroom and put on some cologne and then we left. I kinoed on the leg several times during all the car trips we took, I decided to take us to the pool hall and we played for a couple of hours, lots of talking and kino went on.

Moving on... from the pool hall I suggested we get something to eat cause I was hungry so we stopped at a diner on the way back to my place. We talked a lot about food, mostly that I don't even remember. No kino happened cause we were sitting across from one another. Took her picture after I showed her a pic of my cat, and she then took a pic of me on her phone. From there we finally came back to my place where I had mentioned I would show her my tropical fish. I have a screen saver that is of tropical fish and looks real too, she liked it when she came in :P

This is where things started to get weird, I knew that I was supposed to kiss her at the pool hall and just couldn't fit it in naturally. So when I was playing the question game I was going to ask her if she wanted to kiss me, but we got off topic and it ended pre-maturely. So I pointed over to my fish while I got a bit settled then came up to her. I told her to come here, and pulled her close while putting my hands on her hip and kissed her. I got no response... NONE what so ever, not even a kiss back or any pushing forward on her part when I moved in for the kiss. I don't remember what happened into between that 1st kiss and the 2nd kiss but I then showed her my Bean bag.

I told her that you have to sit on it, it's really comfy and as she was trying to say "I don't know" or something I said your light right? and semi picked her up and threw her on it. I laid down next to her at first not right up on her. I think We talked about something for a second then I kissed her again. Now every time I kiss her I get nothing but the same smile she was given me all night long, no resistance, or any indication that she is enjoying it, or to press forward. I finally said, let me put on some music, and I get up and ask if she likes classical music. I pull out a CD and let it start playing, then lay right next to her this time on the bean bag with my arm kinda under her head. She asked for the CD case before I came back and wanted to see if she recognized any of the songs, and I asked her if she knew how to play
any instruments and we talked lightly on that for a bit. I lean in and kiss her again, I then say to tilt her head and I proceed to kiss her neck once. I was really starting to feel awkward at this point in time, and think is when I finally mentioned something like you give no resistance, I might have even said at this time "This feels awkward, I don't know why?". I think then I kissed her neck a few times and her
again. I remember at some point that I realized she was holding my hand as I was holding hers, and I was rubbing it and moved my other hand to rub her other hand. I mentioned what happened her hand at some point as it was ruff, she said it was dry or something, and i think I kissed her again.
Also I remember at some point I also mentioned some of these things:
Me: "what are you thinking about" Her: "Nothing"
Me: "You look like you have something on your mind" Her: "No"
Me: "are you sure your not having naughty thoughts?" Her: I don't even remember getting ANY response, just that same smile I was getting throughout.
Me: "Why don't you take off your shoes and relax a bit" Her: "I am relaxed" as she moved her arms above her head in a stretching position.

Finally I couldn't take being uncomfortable and didn't know where to take this. But little did I know it was the single most stupidest thing I could have done. I got up and said I want to show you something, I pulled out a Magic the Gathering Deck and laid out a few cards on the table for her to see. I mentioned that this was the game, and I briefly mentioned what you need to do to win. I think after that she moved to topic to something like "You have to get up early don't you?" or "I'm getting tired and have to get going" something like that shit. I tried to keep her as long as I could as I didn't want her to leave yet, but at the same time I was relieved and needed to get sleep anyway. She did mention a few times and again before she left that she had fun, and we should do it again sometime.

From what I gathered at the time she really wasn't enjoying any of the sexual stuff as I got ZERO response back, but Yummy just said that I should have just pushed it as far she would have let me. That her giving me zero resistance was her way of saying to just take her. I felt very awkward and weird, it didn't feel mutual or fun for me. I needed a verbal or physical or ANY IOI to press forward. I'm sure Yummy is right in his advice but even as I think about it, I feel awkward and not even sure what exactly I would have done to press forward. Would I have rubbed her stomach, her breasts? I could have said something like "take off your shirt it's wet" (It was raining). But nooo none of this shit ever comes to me at the time when I need it. I was and the truth is I guess I felt at the time that I was just another AFC, but I shouldn't have, but I realize this all too late. We'll see how big I messed up when I try contacting her for a follow up date on Monday for a Friday "date". Not sure what I can do with her, and if we do get back to my place will she expect a repeat? Will I unintentionally repeat myself?

I realize now that I felt nothing for her, I'm still feeling things for Alania, and still miss her. Perhaps I received no emotion back when I kissed her is because she felt none for me as well. How can I move onto another girl if I truly haven't moved on?

I figured out why I felt nothing when I kissed her, I know I should stop comparing her to Alania, and didn't think I would ever compare anything but hear me out on this. When I kissed Alania for the first time there was that stereotypical "magic" and "sparks" that whole deal, it was special and we both felt a click. When I kissed E, there was nothing, I felt nothing. I felt this before when I kissed Alania for
the last time, because there was no love in it, there was nothing, I remember even crying afterwards and during the kiss :(

Yummy & Me Day 1

Ok well technically it's not the first time we got together, but it was the first time we spent most of the day doing this (3 hours at the mall, and another 3 at a bar). Plus I was hooked up to a recorder so I can listen back to see how much of an idiot I sounded like :P and should be very helpful too. I should also apologize and mention that this was on Saturday, and been lazy so I haven't written this till now. These 5 we did while walking around the mall, which we found out is something while having a wing with you is harder. Only because you have 2 people walking side by side, the set that I approach knows thats he's already with me, so to have to come in a bit later is for lack of a better word weird.

1) This first set demonstrated this theory very well as many things went wrong. I opened while me and him were leaning on a railing, and a 2 Set(blonde's a 6 & 7) came up the escalator. When I opened with my Kate Perry Routine, he went somewhere else, but the set already knew he was with me. I then transitioned to "how they knew each other", and the rest is a bit of a blur, guess I'll have to listen to the tape on exactly what happened. But anyway I signaled for Yummy to come in, I turned to him and said "Hey".I then introduced him to them saying "This is my friend Yummy" and then pointed to my target, and said "Oh, I didn't get your name, what was it?" she replied with something like "Thats cause we didn't give it", I think at that point she said something like "This feels like it's a set up" and they started giggling and left. Yummy started to laugh a bit too, since it was true, but I had a nervous feeling all throughout my body, and didn't laugh about it until later. I was more in a state of shock of wow I didn't expect that.

(Will update the rest of this when I hear the audio)

2) In a store 7.5 black hair
3) Hired Gun - Proactive Cart girl, 6.5 brown hair
4) 2 set "The Girls"
5) Bookstore a black girl 6 reading a book relating to vampires

6) Technically this was Yummy's Set but I have to mention it, because I messed it up.
Apparently when someone has their target locked in, I am not to converse with them at all. He tried on 3 occasions to # close, and I happened to butt in right at those moments. It wasn't on purpose and his target was asking me questions so I replied. This set was my 2 favorite Hired Guns in one spot, the cream girls as I will refer to them. The first one, Yummy's target (a 7.5 with black hair) and my obstacle (7 red head). I had him open these girls to see how he interacts with them and keep there sales at bay, while working game. As I've mentioned in the past I've interacted with them on a # of occasions, the 7.5 got me to buy a $55 dollar cream back in April. He did a great job, but I had a hard time keeping mine from working her stuff. Although she wasn't working it on me, she was pulling guys walking by cause she already knows I'm not buying anything.

The Bar
6) Opened a 3 set all went to same HS as me, so I opened with. "Hey didn't you go to HS Name?" The girl I opened that was closest to me, had a green shirt (5 red head) asked me how old I was, I think I just fell into it and told her, w/o making her guess (don't remember). She then went on to say that she was 4 yrs older than me, but her sister (striped shirt 4.5) and last girl in the yellow shirt (6.5) were the same age as me, so I prolly went to school with them. I don't remember if I said anything else, but I kind of screwed my self, I opened sitting down on the bar, and Yummy was sitting next to me and he was next to them so HE had the better advantage to really open them. So when I did I tapped the green shirt girl on her shoulder and remained
sitting. So when she was "done" with me, she turned to her friends that Yummy had opened and I was stuck still sitting all awkwardly. As it happens this set we interacted with throughout the night, I was trying to talk to the Yellow shirt girl, but for some reason the fugly one of the group took a liking to me, and put her arm around my shoulder and my hand was on her waist before I knew what even hit me. Mind you she was totally plastered, and we "danced" a bit, and I had her do a few twirls. To make matters worst they all smoked, so they tended to smell a lot of that and alcohol. But I was trying to figure out if I wanted to try and push this girl further into making out. I didn't want to stick around as they were constantly looking for her sister in the green shirt who ran off with a guy, that and I really wasn't into her at all.

7) 2 set (6's blondish hair & black hair)sitting next to me at the bar, opened with something like "Do you know if this place is always this busy on a Saturday? Transitioned to how they knew each other? Moved into if they knew of any other bars that might be popular (I think).

8) 2 set (7.5, 6 blonde's I think) standing around, opened with a horrible opening :( "Do you know of any better bars than this one?" Now this place was already packed so it was really bad and the way it came off was really poorly. Moved into if they knew of any other bars that might be popular. The Blonde left first while I was still trying to salvaged what I could from the friend. I blew that set soo hard, as it turns out then went to their friend who was standing near Yummy, and I proceeded to go sit back next to him. Yummy mentioned that they were laughing at me, and told their friend the odd question I asked them. :(

9) This place was cool it had a live band, and the first Singer a 19 yr old 6.5 with long brown hair was isolated a good part of the night after she was done. I approached her when she went to bar to talk to the bartender. I opened with, something like "Wow you can sing really good", and thanked me, and I proceeded ask her her age, and then moved into about how she got started and stuff. I went away for a bit, and then went back to her a while later, and asked if she was going to sing again, and if the person singing was part of her band. It was really hard to talk to her though because she was standing RIGHT next to the fucking bands and the music was
blaring and I can't talk that loud. But I thought it was going well, would have been better I prolly should have just tried to move her to a quieter location...

10) Brown hair 4 Girl sitting next to what appeared to be friends near the bathroom. When I came back I stopped and said to her "You look sooo bored" she agreed, and I think I moved into any other good bars around her. By then the place was starting to die down and getting late so I saw why she was like this.

Overall I had a blast at the bar, got to watch a bartender pour drinks blind folded, another 1 got up on the bar and started dancing to the song "Save a horse, ride a cowboy" with a horse mask on while another was in a cowboy outfit. The music was really good, and I got to get a better feel of the environment.

Post # 31

I have finally reached a point where going to my favorite bookstore, and local mall so often during that week that mentioned Day # whatever is irrelevant. I find this especially true as I have slow days and off days, and may find one at a certain location and another somewhere else. So how do I classify or name my posts from here on out? If I can think of anything specific to a certain instance such as a workshop or meeting that I visit, or a random girl that I chat up here and there and actually counts toward a conversation or that I find interesting, those ones shall have specific titles. So for now I think I'll stick with the post #, or perhaps something like "Approach Log #". Ya I like that, but since this one has some rants in it, I'll keep it as it's current title. So with that out of the way on to the sets.

1) As I pulled up to the bookstore, there was another car in front of me, and pulled into a spot on a curve, and there was an empty one right next to her that I thought was fine. She however did not pull in correctly and made it difficult for me to pull in next to her, so I tried to decided if I wanted to wait for her to fix her car, or just pull next to her and then have her fix the car. I did the latter as I wanted to park, and thats when I noticed her a 7.5 with long brown hair very beautiful. I tried to take my time gathering my things before exiting the car to try and time things with her coming out of the car at the same time so I could mention something how she parked. But she was taking her sweet as time fixing her car, and then taking even longer before she got out. So as to not make things weird I got out and headed for the bookstore. I didn't do my normal "rounds" around the place before taking my seat, instead I looked over the bottom floor slightly then took my seat. I did this partially because I wanted to give that girl sometime to get settled and such. As luck would have it I see her go to the coffee counter and order a drink, I'm at my favorite spot by the napkins reading and scouting around when I saw her. She didn't see me until she got close in my range. I tried to word this w/o coming off as needy or too AFC, and thought of exactly what to say.
Me: "Hey, I'm sorry I parked so close to your car" I actually parked closer to the car on my other side so she wouldn't hit mine.
Her: Smiling, something like "oh, it's ok"
Me: "I should have waited until you finished parking"
Her: "Oh, it was no problem" but she was kinda laughing and smiling back.
What I said next, I said as a test and do believe that I was very confident in my saying it. As I've been trying to get enough courage to try it, and have a good opportunity to do so.
Me: "Why don't you sit and join me for a bit?"
Her: Something like "Oh well I can't stay I have work on stuff" maybe she said study instead of work, not quite sure.
Me: "Your telling me you don't have even have time to just relax and enjoy your coffee?"
Her: "Well no, I will, but I have get going and do something" Not quite exactly what she said but I am 120% sure she said something at the very end. Her voice sounded hesitant as if she was making it up as she went along, but with a slight smirk to her face, as if she was considering it.
Me: "Well you have a good day"
Her: "You too", she continued to get napkins for a few seconds and then, as she was leaving I heard a very low "Bye".

Now my thoughts on that, I think personally there wasn't anything wrong with what I said or how I may have said it. I do know that when I was making my rounds upstairs (twice) I saw her sitting on a couch reading. But I suppose there could have been any number of reasons why she didn't sit, unless anyone can think of anything specific from what I've said that stands out. Any comments or suggestions would be helpful, moving on.

2)I think I'm going to keep any names I get from now on out, as to keep it private for some unknown reason to myself, but as respect to these girls, that and I don't even know how to spell this one. Funny think about rating scales I got my how I think they look when I see then, but as you get to sit and chat with them that scale can shift. I gave her a 6.5 when I saw her, but after I sat there and talked with her for 1/2 hour I mentally changed it to a 7, long brown hair. She was a mix of Israeli, Russian, & Dominican and was fluent in all those except Dominican, her English was excellent only a slight Canadian accent. I felt very attached to this particular girl because I felt a REAL connection with her, but I'm hurt inside as I will most likely never see her again. I know thats some short term one-itis BS and I'm already coping with the fact that I have to move on from her. So why did I get so attached to this girl in such a short amount of time? I'm not entirely sure, but this is how it went, more or less.

I started off with Kate Perry Routine, then transitioned to something like "So what are you reading?". Note she was sitting on the floor leaning on a bookshelf reading, and I stood there for 5-10 min before I actually decided to sit down. We started talking and talking, in fact she was re-initiating the conversation in between pauses asking things about like, like whats my story and such. We both shared very personal things in a very short amount of time. Some topics we covered: Travel, Out jobs and where she works, nationalities, languages, fate & destiny, religion, relationships and our marriages to be more specific. Yep she's married, at least from what she said, and perhaps when it came to the #close I should have pushed harder as I saw no ring, but thought it could have been a # of reason why she didn't wear one. I won't bother to list them all or even some of them, but when she spoke of him I felt it was real. It's hard to explain, but nonetheless I did try the #close, and she said something "like I told you I'm married". I responded with something like "So? we can still hang out", she went on about how her husband is very overprotective, how it would look bad if she went out with some guy. I finally said something like well bring him along then, I don't know why I said that but I did. She still went on and on, and said she can't, I just said "Fine", and tried to talk about something else before I left.

3)At the mall I went into one of those cool shops with new gadgets and things, and sat down in a very comfortable recliner right next to 6 black girl who was also in one. I started off with something like that looks really comfy I have to try. When I finally got situated I said something like "Did you have a long day as well?" she said something about dancing the day before and was sore all over. It wasn't a fluent conversation as she kept trying to relax and so was I, it was so comfy. But I jokingly mentioned "I wonder how long we can stay her before they kick us out" She laughed. I don't really remember much, and there wasn't much I really said anyway, just wasn't really in the mood to talk at the time for some reason, I blame the massage chair.

First # Close

Her name is not important right now and will be referred to as E, a 6 with black hair and glasses. I saw her in the bookstore looking around, and I was pretty far when I saw her so was making my way to her. When I got into her proximity range he moved away, to look at books in a different isle and would look as if I was chasing after her if I continued in that direction. So I stopped where she was, and looked around a bit more, and lost which way she went. So I started on my way down the escalators and to my surprise she came on behind me, but it's funny cause I didn't realize it at first I heard someone get on behind me but didn't notice, so while I was going down I turned around and saw it was her.

So I opened with my Kate Perry Routine, I had trouble trying to maintain eye contact for that little while as I opened while we were still going down and didn't want to fall flat on my face when it stopped so I kept checking when the ground was coming. When we got off I shifted a bit to the side to make room for others coming down, and continued the routine. I transitioned into what brought her there today, she mentioned something like just some books, so I followed up with well what kind of books she was looking for or into. From there we talked back and forth about a few things such as where she was from, school and job. I also remember mentioning to her as she was swinging her headphones back and forth in her hands, "so what are you trying to listen too?", and quickly got on the topic of music. I love it when things transition easily and naturally, and I actually think of things to say, since thats my biggest problem.

About a few minutes into that conversation I said "Why don't we sit down and talk for a bit" or something on those lines, and we went a headed towards the seats. I picked a nice 2 seat not near anyone else so we were pretty isolated, I was very happy. We talked back and forth for a bit more, and I moved the talking into a "routine" that I read about in the VAH where you figure out life experiences that you like and find out what those emotions are and the end result is that you find out why you like doing certain things, and that it's the emotions more or less that you like than the experience itself. It's funny cause when I started it I never did it before in fact only partly remembered how it even went so I started off by saying "I read an article somewhere about...". I went on about something I don't even remember exactly but told her I thought it was interesting and wanted to try it or something. It went fairly well I got to learn a bit about her, although her particular "thing" wasn't something that was easy to work off of to associate and emotion too, but I winged it as much as I could.

After that we talked some more and unfortunately those tables are too big to do any kino across from so I had to figure out a way to move in closer to kino, and we have already been talking for a while so I felt we were in comfort. I then did the cube, she like it and said that I right about a lot of things, but for some reason she had issues keeping her eyes closed as I was going through it. I feel it's best to do that as you can really stay focused visualize the scene, but I did kino her leg throughout and when we kept opening her eyes I would tap her leg and say "Now close your eyes". She was smiling through the whole thing, but did mention when I got to part 4 of 5 something on the lines of "Is this almost over", I thought that was weird as I've read on the forums of that happening to guys but never had that problem myself. I blame her as she was making it longer as she kept opening her eyes when she was describing things and using her hands. Regardless we got through it and she liked it, then I think we talked for a bit more.

I finally moved in with "Well ya know you seem pretty cool, we should hang out sometime" Brief pause (DOH) "Lets exchange #'s" and I pulled out my phone, and she pulled out her phone to my surprise and was going to put in mine, but I said "Let me see your phone", and handed her mine. We both had issues trying to figure out how to put in a new contact for each others phone which was kind of funny cause mine was simple, but hers was complicated so we kept helping each other till we finally got to put each others # in. We exchanged back finally, and I somehow got these words out of my mouth more or less "Well the 1st phone call is always the most awkward so lets it get it out of the way now" and I called her. She was smiling and I was smiling as she said Hi, and I said hello, but there was that awkwardness still but was funny, and the she said something like "Ok well cya later" I don't remember exactly.

Lastly I think I said one more thing as to not do the get the # and run effect, but remember saying after that "Well I have to get back to my studying, I'm going for the police test" or something on those lines. I should have just asked her if she was hungry and moved to C2 as I had planned to do with a girl if I ever had the chance to do it, and move her to a pizza place that is within walking distance. But I did ask her before she parted if she like pool at all, she said ya, but wasn't very good. So I said to her "Well maybe we'll go someday" or something on those lines. Overall it went great, slightly disappointed in that she was only a 6 in fact as I write this I can barely remember what she even looks like :(

Yummy to the rescue

My friend Yummystalebread, finally got a small fraction of his very busy schedule to help watch me open a few sets at my favorite bookstore. This time around though he picked the targets and ordered me to just go, which was helpful and a bit harder than I had in my mind to follow. I did 3/4 girls he picked, which was pretty much all of the single sets in the entire place over the coarse of an hours time, if that.

1)4.5 Fugly girl with glasses and brown hair. Opened with Kate Perry, got through the whole thing, but she was trying to constantly move away but I persisted to the end, and then just thanked her at the end as she was trying to walk away anyway. That and I couldn't stand looking at her anymore anyway, and really didn't even want to try and transition.

2)Blonde 7 came in with a BF, but separated and I managed to be lucky enough to get her alone. It's funny cause I kept mentioning to him if I should go, and he was just looking around aimlessly until he saw her, and just made that wonderful order GO!. So I went and opened her with Kate Perry as well, it went alright. Seeing how I only got through the girl part, and dropped the guy part out due to some modifications yummy suggested and my other new modifications I had made previously left me with nothing to say. That and the fact that he mentioned that I paused after she responded and didn't follow up with anything else so she was walking away. I might have thanked her, don't remember.

3)A 5 with yucky yucky pimples all over her face, very hard to look at. But after much pushing and shoving from yummy I approached. Opened with Kate Perry and it ended when it was over, not even sure what else I said if anything after the girl part since that is all is really left of the routine. But from his point of view I was getting IOI's, she was smiling a bit. Oh I remember, I had stopped right in front of the exit and people were trying to leave, so I said to her we needed to move a bit, and I continued the routine.

Overall it went ok, if I got this much done in like an hour, I can't wait to see how much I can get done with a day with him. Whenever that will be :(
I should also point out that he helped me find some major flaws with the way I was even approaching girl, particularly moving sets which is why I was having such a hard time with them. He also spoke his opinion regarding my particular Kate Perry routine, which is that of "It's a fine opinion opener", but I definally need to work on the way that I'm approaching.

My Feet Hurt

My Feet Hurt, thats the best way I can describe how my day went yesterday, aside from opening 10+ sets. Not all are listed though, but it was basically me, N Wing, and his wing (R Wing) going around different places in the city. It was very educational and had fun, but we did do an excessive amount of walking, so towards the end I was having to stop often as I'm not used to walking that much. All these sets aside from 1 I did completely alone, but enough of introductions lets just move into the sets.

1)Two set, young like 6's. I noticed that they were standing next to N Wing with their backs to him, while he was talking to some guy on the street, I was leaning on a building looking for a set to open. So I finally said fuck it, and approached them and did Kate Perry, it went pretty descent I was going to move into "how do you know each other" but during the routine they mentioned that they were sisters. I was sort of a lose for words and I think I asked them if they knew of any good bars / clubs.

2)Two set, looking at some shoes or something. I opened with Kate Perry, and it didn't go well at all, I don't even think I finished it, when my N Wing called me helped me bail though cause it was going no where fast.

3)An 8.5 Hispanic or maybe black, not entirely sure, but we all agreed on how hot she was, and got complimented for even approaching afterwards. She was in line to get some food like this grocery store or something, and I opened with my Kate Perry Routine, at first I think she didn't quite understand the questions but I persisted and pushed it through. I'm sure she saw how nervous I was, but tried to be as confident as possible, and tried to make it as natural as I could. I mentioned part of the modified version I was working on, but got shot down with "Thats a bit personal", so I continued on with the older version. Overall it didn't go terribly bad, but didn't go quite well either, I might have even gotten a smile don't remember.

4)Hired Gun holding some books and looking at shelf, this is the 2nd fucking time that I opened a hired gun without intending too because her badge was being covered by all the fucking books. Anyway I ran Kate Perry with the modified version and got the same response as the other one "Thats a bit personal" or something on those lines, then she walked away. Now I don't have a problem doing hired guns, in fact I like them, but I have to watch out for their fake IOI's and normally try to make sure they aren't watching me game others.

5)A Black haired 8 that was 19, applying for a job at the bookstore I we were all in. This one went really well, I should have tried to #close. I ran Kate Perry, and moved into what she was doing there today or something, and found out she was applying for the job, and she something on the lines of "I don't know what to put for: Reason I least want to work here".
Me: "Put down how the pay is crap"
Her: Laughs, "I can't put that"
Me: "Then put the travel time is too far."
Her: Laughs, "But it isn't"
Me: "They don't have to know that"
Her: "Travel time it is" as she types it in, smiling and giving me that look of good idea.
We talked about a few other things like where she lived, and what school she was going to. At the very end she mentioned something about her BF, but I brushed it off and said something else. Also I should point out that I was body rocking for the first time about to leave, but not on purpose I was really trying to leave but not to get out of the interaction it was more of I thought we were done like so many times before. But I actually was thinking of things to say, and she would reinitiate the conversation. Like I said I should have tried to #close but not sure why I didn't maybe it was AA, maybe it was cause she mentioned the BF even though it was meaningless.

6)We finally made it back to the other book store we started off at, and I decided to try the tarot cards routine with a slight twist. The difference was that I told this red head 6.5 that I wanted to prove to my friend (my wing) that I could do just as good of job w/o having any real knowledge about this stuff. She agreed and he stood by to help any questions I had and filled in some blanks for me. Overall it went really well, I did a pretty good job she said, and was surprised and happy about the whole thing. My wing did a full interpretation after I was done and clarified any loose ends, and the girl told us her story and how everything really clicked. It happened to be about her BF that she is wanted to marry but is worried about commitment, and we both agreed it was best to not try an #close her. But after the reading was done we did talk lightly on what brought her there and such. But I had fun, was really nervous at first thought but got into the whole thing.

7)This was on the street right as I got off the train on my way to the ferry, I saw this 3 set of 7's walking ahead of me. One of them "bumped into" one of those orange cone thingy's but it wasn't a cone shape. So I said loud enough for them to here me from behind them, "I saw that it came out of no where and hit you" smiling and kinda laughing in the process. They did the same, so then I came up on the side of them and said "Ya will totally testify for you". They said something about it too, and then I said "so where you guys headed?" Only one girl in the middle seemed to really be talking but they were all interacting, but she said "Brooklyn", and I told them where I was headed. We talked about SI for a bit, she asked how big it was, and I said with great pride and confidence "35 by 7". They said something like "oh wow", from there I think I transitioned to any good bars / clubs question, and they might have mentioned something I don't remember.

8)This was quite funny, I was sitting down waiting for the ferry at the terminal and had like 1/2 wait. For some reason something came over me, I was realizing the fact that I'm becoming a social butterfly, although I still like to be in my cocoon. But at the time I was bored, I wanted to talk to someone where as 2 months ago all I would have wanted were some headphones to listen to the music on my phone. So I looked around for a while and no one, finally this blonde 5.5 sits on the wall, with a sad look to her, and not crying but kind of sniffling. So I got up and went over and said "Hey, how's it going? Do you mind if I sit?" She said ya or sure or something, and I sat down. I then turned to her and said "You ok?" or something like that, and she just turned to me and said "I don't want to talk to you". I was more sad at the fact that I didn't have anyone to talk to rather than being upset that I just got shot down, cause I really was fucking bored and wanted to talk to someone. So I just sat there next to her for 2 reasons, 1) My seat was taken as soon as I got up, and 2) I didn't give a fuck, I felt no embarrassment or anything.

9)I sat down on the front of the ferry next to this 6.5 brown haired Latin chick with headphone on loud enough to make someone seriously deaf. So after the boat started moving a bit and it got quiet, I taped her on the shoulder and asked her what was the name of the song that I was listening too (yes I could even hear lyrics). She said Neo or something and showed me the ipod shuffle thingy she had, and proceeded to put her headphones back into her ears. So I said something like "Wow, I'm surprised that your not deaf from that." she said something like I'm used to listening to it this loud with a smile and laughing. I was about to ask her if she was heading home, when she put her damn headphones back in. I guess she was done with me, so I sat there waiting, relaxing, taking in the cool breeze, and enjoying the music :) Finally I heard her lower the music for something, or was changing songs and I said "Do you have that song by Kate Perry "I kissed a girl"? No response she definally heard me, but was just ignoring me at that point, oh well, I didn't care really I just wanted to talk to someone.

10)I Finally made my way to the SIR, sat down facing forward, and a 6.0 red head sits down right in front of me (perpendicular to me). So I waited a stop or 2 after the train started moving and opened up with "Can I ask you a question?" she said ya, with a very tired and uninterested look to her. I asked her if she was in business or something cause she was kinda in girl dress clothes you would wear in an office. We actually talked for a long time, like 70% of my total trip about all diff things. Some topics we covered was the job she was doing, and mine (cough:unemployment:cough), what nationality she was, which was Iranian or something. We also talked how long she was living here and that she came from Asia, and we joked around how I really didn't know much about geography and stuff. But I got her laughing and smiling, and it was pretty cool. I didn't feel like a connection of that one would #close with, and also that she was upper 20's and was only really trying to talk for something to do, and pass the time.

So in conclusion I had a very long and tiring, yet fun day, and learned a lot. By the time I got home it was 11ish, as the travel took a while to get home, and forgot that my car wasn't by the train station so I had to walk about another 20 minutes to get home :(
