The episode with mall security made me a lot more cautious about my surroundings when I try something, and I tried changing my approach a bit. I tried grounding my energy and approaching with a low energy, relaxed vibe to see what would happen, but it's too early to tell what fruits that might bare.
I was with my mom the whole time grocery shopping and buying clothes at Savers too, so I was doing this at an incredibly awkward angle.
Girl #1: This was a girl I saw on multiple occasions in Sam's Club because both our moms were buying eggs. I debated on approaching her because she was in sweats and a t-shirt. This makes it difficult for her to see my compliment as genuine, and it puts her in a less open mood. (In hindsight, I probably could have used a situational opener, but it didn't occur to me at the time.)
I was perfectly fine trying something around her mom, but not mine, so I tried just eye contact flirting, which she didn't respond to. At the very end, we ended up in the same checkout line, but since my mom was there, I couldn't say anything. I tried eye contact flirting again, which once again was either ignored or unnoticed. We checked out and headed out the door, and it looked like I would have just left disappointed that I didn't have a good angle to approach with my mom around. Suddenly, my mom went back in to complain about something on the receipt, and I saw my opportunity walk by to get checked out soon after. Since they were leaving, and I didn't know how much time I had, I pulled the trigger fast.
Me: "I wanted to get away from my mom to say this, but I thought you were super cute, and I wanted to come say hi! I'm AP!"
Her: "Oh, thanks! Um... hi, I'm (name)."
Me : *to the mom* "Hi! Are you her....?"
Mom: "Haha, yes I'm her mother!"
Me: "I didn't mean to be rude, I just think your daughter is really attractive! *back to her* Can I have your number?"
They mumbled something, but it was too loud to hear them. All I heard was the mom telling the daughter to "say thank you." I went back inside with no number. Not the smoothest pickup from the best angle, but I would have been mad at myself if I didn't try something.
Girl #2: My mom and I went to savers, and I spotted a girl near the fitting rooms. As soon as I got out of sight from my mom, I went up to her.
Me: "I didn't want to be one of those guys that just stared at you from a distance and didn't come tell you how great you look. I'm AP, you look super cute!"
Her: "Oh thank you!" (Her mom then came out of the fitting room after hearing my voice.)
Me: "So what are you doing here? You know, besides breaking men's hearts?"
Her: "Oh, just shopping... For clothes.. Haha!"
Me: "What'd you get? Sometimes you can tell what a person is like by the clothes they wear... Though that's not always true."
Her: "Yeah, I just kinda wear whatever! Haha!" (Her mom then came out of the fitting room.)
Me: *to the mother* "Hi! Are you her... mother?"
Mom: "Yes I am!"
Me: "I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I just thought your daughter was cute and wanted to come say hello!"
Mom: "No you're fine!"
Me: "So tell me about yourself then... What do you like?" (Ambiguous question recommended by James Marshall)
Her: "Um... Well, I'm a musical person!" (She probably misheard me and thought I asked what was she like)
Me: "Oh, really? How so?"
Her: "I play the clarinet, the oboe, piano, and guitar!"
Me: "Really? Awesome! I play the last two! So how'd you get into them?"
Her: "Band." (Her sister then came out of the fitting room and her mom and her complimented the dress. She then went in.) "Well, nice meeting you!"
Me: "Um... Okay? Nice meeting you too. *turning to mom* Bye!"
Girl #3: This one was also walking with her mom. I hesitated to open her because I was afraid the other girl might see me and feel insulted.. I didn't want to be reported again. But I decided to do it anyway and turn my back to the fitting rooms to hopefully not get recognized.
Me: "I didn't want to be one of those guys that just let you walk out without saying hello and telling you how great you looked. I'm AP! You look gorgeous!"
Her: "Um.. Thank you!"
Me: *to mom* "Are you her mother?"
Mom: "Yes!"
They walked to the checkout line, and I followed facing them and walking backwards. To my misfortune, my mom was the one in line ahead of us, so I had to be discreet.
Me: "So how old are you?"
Mom: "Haha, too young!"
Her: "Thirteen."
Me: "Oh... sorry... Haha!"
And that was basically the end of that interaction
The Date: This was an Asian girl who went to middle school with me back before I began to improve my fundamentals and the way I interacted with people. We scheduled a coffee meet up on facebook, but it was only after I said the line "It's a date
that she knew it was a date. I made the mistake once of not being clear about that, so I sent it for screening purposes.
She continually commented that I had changed so much, and commented on my looks a lot, but her responses were so much more conservative than the caucasian and latina girls I had previously gone on dates with, so I couldn't find opportunities for chase framing, nor did my flirty sexual banter get me anywhere. I tried deep diving a number of times, but she was unwilling to give me nitty gritty details that I could use to further expand our threads.
The topics ranged from how she acts around family, how she is when she's drunk, how she deals with drama, and that kind of stuff that usually expand very easily, but didn't this time around. I ended up giving my usual doctor monologue and talked about how I was an impulsive art type and that life was too short to not find enjoyment whenever possible.
I also told her that my ideal girlfriend was nothing else any other guy wanted. She would help make me become a stronger version of myself. She'd be able to replace me twice as fast as I could replace her, and instead of looking for a girl that wouldn't cheat on me, I was looking for one that I knew would cheat on me if I wasn't doing my job right, so that I'd be forced to improve and stay on my toes.
The majority of the time, I led the conversation to sexual topics. I commented in the middle that I wasn't about to talk about something mundane and that only these conversations are ever memorable. In the beginning, I had us race to hit the top of the roof of the car and make the loser make a sex noise.
Her: "I don't know! ...Haha, I can't make one!"
Me: "Wow, someone must not be doing his job right then. What kind of guys have YOU been with???"
This led to me commenting every time I had the chance that all the guys she'd been with weren't doing their jobs. When she talked about playing football, volleyball, and basketball, I commented on how much she seemed to like playing with balls. I found out by staying on the topic of sex though, that she's only had one partner, and was planning on being abstinent from that point on. She doesn't believe in birth control and is afraid condoms won't work.
I found opportunities to kiss her cheek, tickle her, hold her hand, hold her waist, kiss her neck, and let her sit on my lap. At some point, she was sitting on me, and we were watching the sunset.
Me: "You know, this really seems like it could be a movie scene."
Her: "Really? Haha... I guess so..."
Me: "Let's make a kissing scene then." (In previous days, I would have just kissed her. This time, I was afraid to make her feel trapped and asked in this manner instead. Not my best idea.)
Her: "Haha, no!"
Me: "Fine. Then let's make a scene where we hug and almost kiss, but not quite."
Her: "No.. I'm fine... haha"
We stayed there with her sitting on me for a good while, just talking. At the end, I drove her home without kissing her on the lips, but continuing to talk towards the end. At some point, I asked her to sing for me as an alternative to kissing. She was so nervous that I offered to sing for her in exchange. After we sang for each other, I walked her in, and she finally agreed to let me show her how to almost kiss, but not quite.
I brushed her hair aside, had our foreheads touch, and leaned in slowly. She pulled away, so I kissed her hand and told her goodnight. She stayed outside until I left and told me one final time how great she thought I looked.

So I think next time I need to do a better job at screening the more conservative girls. Also, I'll try low energy pickup again considering three approaches isn't enough to learn from it
