Wow I just read that and I fucking love it, thanks for highlighting it. I think that would have actually been the perfect move.
Slackline approach:
So things did not go as planned today, I didn't hit my 3 girls to talk to but I did end up going on an instant date and making out with a HB7. Here's how:I decided that today I wanted to slackline. Slacklining is a crazy chick magnet:
1) You're literally up high on a "stage" doing something that most people will NEVER do. I have individuals, families, couples, kids, stop and stare at me all the time. Sometimes they take pictures. Lots of time they talk to me and ask how long it took to get started.
2) It's SUPER easy to approach some girl (who now sees you as a mini-celebrity) and guess that she wanted to try. This is a great screen for me because I want adventurous athletic girls so chicks that are too boring to try are too boring for me.
3) If/When she decides she wants to try, you are immediately assuming a teaching/authority figure role. Furthermore, you need to hold her hand while she's learning and sometimes catch her when she falls. Tons of contact right away.
Anyway, I saw some girls sitting at a bench nearby, pretending not to look but occasionally catching them glancing over at me. I approach them without looking at them, and hop up onto the bench next to them:
"Hi! Now, correct me if I'm wrong..."
"YES" (weirdly loud/instant response but ok)
"It seemed like you were interested in trying the slackline"
*they laugh to each other and she exclaims*:
"I actually WAS thinking of trying it but I would eat shit!" (Funny how often my guesses turn out to be spot on for this particular case)
She's acting pretty dismissive, and a younger/less balsy version of me might have backed off right now. Instead I start teasing her:
"Oh gotcha gotcha, so usually when you're afraid of trying something new because you might fail you just decide to quit instead?"
"NO!!!" (now she's fired up)
We banter back and forth a little bit. The whole time I have the attitude of "you won'tttt" mixed with "push your comfort zone!". After a few more minutes of going back and forth and her warming up to me, but still on the fence, I leave with:
"Well if you change your mind, you should come over and try!" and I walk back to my setup.
Next a little kid shows up, I only mention this because I think it boosted my attraction a lot. This happens all the time, kids love playing on the slackline and I like showing them how to do it and helping them learn etc. So I'm basically holding this kid on the line and letting him play in my hammock (the other ingredient to the vibe).
A little bit later, another girl HB4 way too chubby for me but with super pretty face comes up and asks for my instagram. I type it in cause why not and she runs off.
A few minutes after THAT the two girls from the bench come over! I greet them warmly:
"heyy!! you came to try!"
"haha yah I'm down, also did that girl ask for your number?" (Thank you tubby for preselection!)
We all spent like an hour entertaining this random kid and talking and learning to slackline. Finally, it starts getting dark so I decide to begin packing up. I've been showing very mild interest the whole time, but mostly talking with one girl and just being friendly with the other. Finally, I show some real interest:
"You know, those glasses are cool (white lie) but I notice that you have absolutely gorgeous blue eyes (not a lie) and I think you should share them with more people!" *staring into her now visible eyes*
"hahah thanks, I grew them myself!"
I'm not done packing up but they start to head out, say goodbye etc. I'm making super direct eye contact and smiling warmly and saying goodbye. They leave, and after a little I look back at them. HB7 is looking back at me and I smile. I go back to cleaning up. A little later I notice HB7 is walking back towards me! She asks to exchange her number. I do with pleasure.
"Are you sure you have to head out right now?"
"Yah I have to drive my friend home"
I get close to her and point out my golfcart right over her shoulder, really standing close and directing her gaze with my arm.
"See that? How about you come with me on it, and your friend drives the car and we meet at the beach 15 minute south of here to catch sunset"
There is a lot more negotiating and wishy-washyness. I'm confidently persistent and they huddle and talk and eventually it works out. So now HB7 is tucked under my right arm as we cruise over to the beach. We're talking along the ride and when we get to the beach we talk some more. Honestly conversation is meh, she's a real workaholic, which I like, but is a little boring.
I later learn her friend is literally just waiting in the car while we talk on the beach watching the sunset, and eventually make out a little. She lives pretty far, so I don't really care about meeting her again, but she did text me and I did offer for her to come hottub with me, so we'll see if I actually get a lay out of this.
Overall, really pleased that I was confidently persistent and managed to instadate on the slackline and then continue the interaction afterwards.
Getting Better!
