Update 9/15:
Hey guys. Here's how my weekend went:
- Saturday: I went to the mall and they were doing arm wrestling competitions (cool right?) so everyone was gathering around watching. I positioned myself next to a cute girl and did a situational opener before we got into a nice conversation and we have plans to get coffee sometime (probably next week - we haven't picked a day yet). This was my first successful mall pickup. I then met another girl at the mall and complimented her on her ear rings. But she said she worked there and had just come out to see what the commotion was about, so she then quickly left and returned to work. So overall 2 approaches.
I then went to the bookstore across the street and met 3 additional women. The first was in the business section. I made a comment on her book choices and tried to have a conversation with her, but she didn't turn and face me, give me eye contact, gave one word or sentence responses, and generally ignored me. My conclusion is that she was most likely sexually unavailable.
I then met a woman browsing books and she turned out to be pretty cool. I ended up getting her number and we are going to try to go hiking next Sunday.
Finally, I met a very attractive woman looking at medical books. She was visiting from Spain and was going back on Monday. So I asked her if she'd like to grab a bite or drink sometime and she said she was married and that her husband probably wouldn't like that. After this experience, I came up with telling women "Oh no I'm single and very much enjoy my freedom" in response to the "I have a boyfriend/husband" line. And then if they continue to say no, I'll drop it. So overall, 3 approaches, 1 date/number at the bookstore.
I then went to my friend's house for a house party and met one of his friends that was a girl.She was pretty attractive but nothing ended up happening between us. Still had a fun night out with my friends and spent the night.
Sunday (Today):
Went out with my parents to different stores. Noticed a ton of different women I would've loved to talk to. I then went out on my own to do approaches. I honestly let a lot of chances to approach or talk to a cute girl or woman pass me by and I hate it that I did that. I did meet one girl at a grocery store who goes the same college as me. I got her number, but I don't know how solid of a number it is. She agreed to getting a coffee sometime, but we'll see. I was only out for a bit before my mom began to blow up my phone. I went home and got into a fight with her (again). So I went to Starbucks to do homework and study. At Starbucks, I felt like shit. There was a really cute girl sitting at the table next to me with a guy and we kept making eye contact and I could tell she wanted me to talk to her, but I didn't (because I didn't want my negativity to come out after fighting with my mom). I left, felt like such a piece of shit for not meeting her, went back, and she was gone. I'm now at home with a headache because I have an exam tomorrow and a big assignment to do (fuck homework for using up so much of my life), but I'm not ready. Luckily, I have tomorrow morning free so I'm going to study and do the assignment then. Hopefully, I'll have time to do approaches.
I always kick myself the worst when I don't approach.
Luckily, I have been communicating "jealousy", been using better eye contact and touch, and communicating "fuck society's rules" a lot more, so that's good.
Here's to a better next week.
