Now, I usually would lump campus approaches into an overall daygame field report but today I went to the campus to game exclusively as a break from the highstreet.
The benefit of the campus is, I know all the girls are 18+, so that removes a common obstacle to approaching in the highstreet, where there is a lack of commitment and uncertainty which translates into a weak approach.
As I am waiting at the bus station for the bus that goes to the campus, I see a student waiting there. I decide I need a warmup so I ask her which uni bus goes first, but from her talking I can hear she has an accent, so I ask about it, turns out she's from Amsterdam.
I have been there so I elaborate by telling her it's a very beautiful city with the architecture and canals etc. I ask her how she likes our small city and she says it's pleasant and quiet. Two buses come and I get on the first bus. She remains waiting, maybe she got on the other bus. This wasn't an official approach, just a warmup.
When I got to the campus, I was slightly self conscious as during the fresher's fare, there was an enhanced security presence and I didn't want to be noticed as a creep around the campus by the authorities.
I was feeling a need to "settle into the environment" before starting to approach, much like at the gym.
So I went to the canteen to grab a lunch of a slice of pizza and potato wedges.
Once I had done that, I did a walk around the campus.
I was hurting for openers, I had decided against audacious looping back openers on girls so instead I wanted to be more under the radar, walking around with a relaxed energy.
I found a girl who wasn't even my type with turquoise coloured hair and complimented the colour, to which she responded positively.
I then did a 2 set where I got in front and told them they looked good. They blew me off and I liked how I responded with "A thank you would be nice" I think they replied with "F off" which was a bit rude!
Then when I was browsing at the 2nd hand book stand, I saw a girl wearing these big "monster" slippers. Casually, I pointed and said "they look funny" to which she replied "I killed and skinned my dog to make them" I didn't have anything witty to come back with other than "That's sad".
It's a shame because from her reply, she had a dark sense of humour and I think I would have got on well with her, but she was with 2 friends (one perusing the 2nd hand book stand), but I couldn't come back with anything. This type of girl who can have a dark sense of humour like this is rare.
The next approach was on an 18 year old blonde, a side approach as she was going past, no front stops on the campus, I don't want to draw attention. I said she "really got my eye" it was a quick and clean boyfriend rejection, which I like. I know I am not going to have any success there, but I want to take action first and foremost without over thinking it.
After that, I go to the steps up to the library and watch the people for awhile, then I spring out for my last and best approach.
I see this pretty girl with frizzy blonde hair and I am able to make a calibrated and sincere approach, telling her she looks glamorous.
She takes the compliment well, I am quite happy and we get into a chat. Turns out she is from the Midlands and you don't get that many people from the Midlands in the southeast.
She is a master's student and she asks my name but I didn't get her name, I forgot to ask for it. Anyway, all the signs are good, she crosses her legs on the spot which from coaching has told me it's a good sign that the girl is comfortable in the interaction.
However, she asks me what I am studying and I "grease the wheels" a bit by coming up with a subject and say that I am studying said subject. I still haven't come up with a plausible reason to out myself as a non student on campus approaching girls. I just can't see them buying that.
I will not leave the interaction or close the interaction out of awkwardness, my rule is let the girl do that, which she does with "Well, nice to meet you, I am sure I will see you around". I do not go for a number close as it was clear she was intrigued but not very invested.
So all in all, a good 5 approaches. But when I have been going to the campus recently, I am hit with a profound sense of sadness that I did not think of doing this when I was in my 20s.
