FR: Maury Povich opener

[New2Town]

Here's a little story and I am asking for a little help on how to proceed:

I went to a local coffee shop today and scoped the place out, looking for the place with the most women. I saw a room with three women sitting a table studying, so I thought that was the place to go, opened the door and walked in.

Me: "Hey, is this a private study room today?"
Them: "Oh no, but it is an all-girls only room"
Me: "Damn, that's the second one today."

They all laughed and I sat down. I made eye contact with them while I saw writing in my book and then I decided to throw the Maury Povich opener their way (You got invited out of the blue to be on the Maury Povich show and you want their opinion on whether you should go on or not).

They ate it up and starting talking amongst themselves about whether they would do it or not and when their friend walked in (another HB), they asked me to tell her the story too. I busted on them for making fun of me, but they said it would be amazing to know someone on that show.

I catch some strong eye contact from one of the girls, so I talk for a few minutes longer and I get back to my writing. Near the end of my time there, I opened them again, with a pros and cons list I made about it (fake of course) and they ate that up too.

Me: "Pro, it could be a woman who has a crush on me. Con, it could be a man."
Them: "Hahaha. That could be a problem."

Eventually they all said I should do it, if I am up for a new experience. So I stood up and told them: "Hey, I am making an e-mail list so I can send out a mass e-mail when I decide, so put your e-mails down so I can add you."

Them: "Ok...that sounds great!"

Two of the girls put their names on the list, passing it amongst themselves, the third doesn't, because she was deeply involved in studying. I shook all their hands and walked out, with them still talking about the situation. **I figured an e-mail close was the best option in that situation**

Question is this: Would you contact the main HB who was giving you the most eye contact and develop a rapport with her, or would you send an e-mail to both girls since you got their e-mail addresses?

**Let it be known that the main HB was the biggest voice in the group, laughing at all the jokes, saying the most about the situation and asking the most questions**

I am thinking I am going to e-mail the main HB tomorrow and ask for her number and try to set up a date. If she asks what my decision was, I am going to say I accepted it and when the time comes near, I am going to say the other person backed out.

But what say ye? How do I proceed?

what were they studying for in late june ?

 

[New2Town]

Summer school at the local college.

 

[Flabbergasped?]

MCATs, GREs, summer school sessions, graduate dissertations.

Connor, when your balls drop, you'll realize adults have to study too, not just high school students like yourself.

Any opinions on the situation and not the merit of summer studying?

You said you're gonna send a mass email. Be true to your words. If you email just one chick and ask her out, you'll be the sneaky/creepy guy who tries to get girls' contacts with cheap tricks. Don't you think they, being friends, talk to each other?

You need more rapport & comfort before you can go for a date. Some eye contact and a few laughs aren't enough.

I agree with your first point about the mass e-mail. I plan on BCCing (blind carbon copy) a few of my friends to the list or just CCing (carbon copy) a bunch of folks to it to make it seem like I sent out a huge e-mail.

It was a tough situation to try to escalate with kino and the like. It was in a coffee shop and they were delved into their studies before I opened them up and talked with them a while. I was able to shake their hands and get them to keep asking questions to me, so we'll see.

I don't have too much experience number closing two girls at the same time. I felt e-mail was the best option in this instance.

If you think you can do it, you can do it. Same thing as the email close. Hand them a piece of paper and a pen, or your phone. Tell them to put their names and digits down. That's it.

I have no problem getting a number. I just never have tried a two-set.

Not bad for a canned set. I'd be careful not to use it too often because a college campus may seem like a big place but word gets around fast. Something like a guy being on a talk show is news and it can bite you in the @ss if a group starts talking about it among themselves.

Outside of that, I'm with Jitterbug about building a level of comfort first. I suggest sending out the email and elicit feedback. Hopefully the HB you're eyeing will answer. Trade an email or two and set up meeting.

I'd personally skip the cell phone thing, it's a time waster. If you want to get together with her, just get together with her. If she's interested and meets up with you just play your game right. She could give you her number without you ever needing to ask.
