Hi! I'm The Kid. I'm 20, tall, handsome, muscuiar, blond, blue-eyed, never kissed a girl. Anyway, here's my inaugural Field Report. I rolled out of bed at like 10 o'clock, took a shower, put on jeans and a collared t-shirt, and hit the road around 11. At 11:10 I ran into Red Cross Girl, who was trying to get money for the Red Cross or whatever. Apparently you need to live in Australia, so after like five minutes of breeze-shooting it went like:
RCG: Well, you can't help me.
TK: But maybe you can help me...
RCG: How can I help you?
TK: Are you single?
RCG: No, sorry.
So that went well. Anyway, at 12:20 there was this girl checking herself out in a hand mirror outside a store at the mall. I guess she'd bought make-up or something? Whatever. Anyway, Mirror Girl finishes checking herself out and starts to head towards the store, when suddenly she runs into...
TK: Excuse me....Are you single?
MG: No. /walks into store
So that was a triumph. Then, at 1:15 I'm sitting on this bench when Red Bag Girl comes walking by, so I walk up past her from behind and then slow down again, real graceful-like, y'know? And then I'm like:
TK: Excuse me....Are you single?
RBG: Yes, but I'm not interested.
But see I'm too smart to fall for that one, so I keep walking alongside her and we talk for like five minutes and just when it seems like she's warming up she makes up some excuse and darts away, so I guess she meant it after all. So this string of victories left me really hungry, so I took a lunch break. Then at 3:05 I saw Sushi Girl sitting on a bench, which let's just forget about Sushi Girl ok? Some people, it seems, aren't really appreciative of what we're doing here. So my Testosterone was really sapped from that catastrophe and I was pretty much a shambles for a while after that but I was determined to get one more approach in as four was the most I'd ever mustered in a day and if I could get up to five well that'd be some real progress I think. So at 4:45 I saw Phone Girl kinda walking all orthogonal to me, so I set a course to meet her and I was all:
TK: Excuse me....are you single?
PG: No. /walks away
So there you go! They kind of seem colder in the Field Report than in Real Life, because in Real Life they're always smiling as they blow me off. Anyway, conclusions: maybe more than one approach per hour next time, if you could, that'd be great. See I'm not scared anymore of the hot girls who are walking around all alone, but I get totally psyched out by any kind of group setting which restricts my options considerably especially on a weekend when people like to go shopping or whatever together more so than on weekdays when their friends have stuff going on usually. So anyway I'll have another one of these thrilling vignettes up for you tomorrow! Maybe we'll even get a phone number. Maybe.
