2. Talked to some girl in the sunglass shop. Cheap, I know, but she was extremely hot, so it counts.
Nice Job Vegas. You could have had a fun opportunity for C+F at the sunglass shop; by trying on different pairs to mimick celebs. Did you try that clothes opinion opener I gave you last night?
Here's a rundown of my conversations last night taken from my blog:
Convo 4-5:
Thursday 13th April 2006 7:30
19 yr old Lativan HB8.5@Church
After sermon was over I chatted up this Lativan brunette with deep blue eyes about Europe sitting infront of me. I did a few personality conveying routines about my trip to Europe last year. Somehow my ex was brought up, but I played it down and mentioned she was cool and she asked why it didn't work, I just said simply it was an issue of distance. Nice. Usually I go bitter here with most people, so this was the first time I played it off cool. She split after 8 minutes, but I hope to catch her next week or so again before she goes back to Lativa.
On a personal note I'd say that Pook is right about foreign women. There is something magical and feminine about them. They're mature respectful and don't seem to be twisted by the head games of the matriarchy here in the states. For those who don't know geography well Lativa is on the Eastern block of Europe. Would have stayed and chatted but her older girl friend (cb) grabbed her, for they both were off to a local coffee hang out shop. At this point I don't know if I would have been able to pull a time bounce with them. Wish I could have summoned Mystery for help here, lol.
Key factors:
- Comfortable in own skin
- Finally able to articulate my words better
- Didn't have to fight for her attention
- EC over 80% of the conversation
Improve on:
- Talking less about myself and getting her to open up more about her homeland
- More open-ended questions
- Talk slower
- Take pauses
20 yr old Hawaiin HB5@Church
Surprisingly, she opened me after I stopped talking to the Lativan. She asked me about rockclimbing since I mentioned it during our introductions before the church gathering. She asked me about where I went to school and what I did for a living. Very standard nothing exciting really here.
Key Factors
- Acted like myself
- Calm, collected, funny
- Didn't act desperate
In Conclusion:
I really improved with social proof. It was my second time there, so I was invited out to a fast food place to get burgers and fries with everyone. There were several decent college girls at the meeting tonight, but they all book it immediately after the sermon and don't stick around which was a bummer. Kinda jacked up my intro infront of the 20 or so people there by fumbling over my words a bit, so I hope next time I think long before what I say and keep it short. I tried breathing deeply before getting up to speak infront of the group, but I think that put too much anxiety on the situation. Oh well, next time...
