Set 1
Overview:
Overview:
- Ethnicity: East / Southeast Asian
- Position: walking
- Outfit: yellow hoodie, jeans
- Duration: 3 mins
- Result: number
- Saw a girl walking in my direction from the other side of the street
- I crossed the street and just went up to her face to face, while pretending to be looking at the buildings around me
- Opener: "Do you know what's pretty fascinating? One day, you're walking down the street as usual, but suddenly something unexpected happens. Perhaps, you feel excited, but with a bit of hesitation too. But you know, this could all lead to a very amazing story"
- She fully stopped after I delivered my opener
- I said she looked like an anime girl as her hoodie reminded me of Pikachu
- Didn't make cold reads aside from this but instead asked her questions from a position of authority like what she's learned in her major
- She said she had to go to class soon, so I was very skeptical and questioned how there's class on Saturday
- Turns out it's for CPR...
- Enthusiastically asked for my name, after I asked hers
- She looked down at her phone once; thought she wasn't interested
- Later learned that she needed to catch her bus, so she was probably checking the bus arrival time
- After entering her contact, she exclaimed "alright here's my number"
Set 2
Overview:
Overview:
- Ethnicity: Hispanic
- Position: walking
- Outfit: can't remember
- Duration: 30 secs
- Result: unsuccessful
- After the previous approach, I used the bathroom and got some water
- I was camping on the street when I saw a stylish girl 50 feet out headed my direction
- I should've stopped her when she was within my line of sight but didn't
- Ended up having to catch up 100 feet, walk past her, then did a U-turn to open face to face
- Same opener as the 1st set, as the circumstances were very similar and called for it
- She was surprised and took a step back
- She's not from here and had to catch a bus that was arriving any second
Set 3
Overview:
Overview:
- Ethnicity: East / Southeast Asian
- Position: standing
- Outfit: white dress with flowers, parasol
- Duration: 2.5 hours
- Result: instadate, number
- A group of people were checking out the campus map (has directions on where all the buildings are)
- I saw a girl with a parasol there but didn't know if she was with that group
- I waited a minute, and the group kept walking, leaving her behind
- Pre-approached by standing in front of the sign with my back facing her
- Then opened from the side
- 5 bounce locations in total, mostly on campus and then a clothing store
- She's an exchange graduate student from China here for a little bit more than a month
- A significant part of the conversation revolved around cultural differences in America vs. China (academics, dating, work, etc.) and framing it as "when in Rome do as the Romans"
- It was a very intimate conversation, as she pretty much shared her life from high school to now with me
- She's never dated nor been in a relationship, and her parents are very demanding / micro-managing all-around
- I touched her arms, put my arm around her, and occasionally put my hand on thighs; this last one she didn't resist outright but would pull back a little, so I knew she needed more comfort
- When I asked her what she thought about me, she said she really liked my extraversion personality type
- We were inside one of the buildings on campus. We landed on the topic of her working a a stripper when discussing how to become more extraverted. She said she doesn't know what that is, and that's probably illegal in China. I went to a cylindrical structure in the middle of the floor and started dancing around on it to show her Then framed them as being very brave and open-minded and something that should be less stigmatized
- I wanted to pull to her apartment (with some concerns on compliance and her lack of experience). However, her roommate flying in from China called when we were in the clothing store, and she needed to go and hand the roommate the keys. I slapped her ass when she was looking at some booty shorts

Overview:
- Ethnicity: white / European
- Position: standing
- Outfit: blue jean jacket, green skirt, Ray Ban sunglasses
- Duration: 5 mins
- Result: number
- I was on the edge of campus when I saw a blonde girl standing in front of a boba store
- There was no one inside that store or outside waiting in line
- She was sort of just hovering there
- I waited for the traffic light to turn and walked over
- I was about to open from the side when she was walking towards me and stopped next to a parking meter
- I opened face to face and then switched to being on her side
- When I got closer, I thought she was a bit too old, so I was about to eject and opened with "do you know where I can find a fishing rod around here"
- Good thing I didn't. Somehow, I was able to turn this one completely around
- She told me she was Irish, so I used my favorite line: "how's the craic?"
- She's on a J-1 visa this summer with some friends
- I mentioned I met an Irish girl a while back who worked the tour bus
- She actually does something similar and is involved in tourism too
- She just came back from work in the big city nearby and needed to meet her friend
- Her body was tilted, and she was on the verge of walking away, as she was on a time constraint
- I said we needed to hang out soon and number closed
