Thor252's Newbie Assignment, Say Hi!

[Thor252]

Hey There,

Pretty new here.

I have replaced some words with "AA" for the sake of privacy.

Decided to start the newbie assignment yesterday, but it was a national holiday and everywhere closed.

Today I headed to the nearest shopping centre at about 11:15am to Say Hi! to 6 women but it tuned out much better than I though and I strongly feel I could get a number.

First Hi, right when I was entering the mall.

Me: Hi
Her: (somehow shocked)
Me: Where is Coles? (She had Coles bags in her hands)
Her: (Relaxes and smiles as a relief) blah, blah
Me: Thank you (with a big smile)

We part ways, and I say with myself, that was easy, feeling good.

Thinking how to get the second one? I see a silver shop, one of those set up in the middle of the corridor, a girl standing in front speaking with the saleswoman. I get close to start a conversation with the buyer at some point.

Me to the saleswoman: What is your necklace range?
The buyer turns to me and says that card mentions the prices, turns out the buyer is the second saleswoman, so that doesn't count.

I go into a sport equipment selling store, I spot a woman next to pants rack, get close to her, I say Hi, she says nothing and moves away. Feeling rejected. Feeling I breached her privacy.

I go into a big clothing store, I move around, I see a woman standing next to a column close to pants rack, I get close start checking some pants turn towards the woman and say Hi, she is actually an old woman, says Hi.

Walking in the mall, I see a girl on her own walking towards me I make eye contact, she refuses, I go forward anyway, she somehow pulls away, I say Hi.
She: That ? on her face.
Me: Where is Coles?
She: I am not quite sure, hm... go.. turn..., but I am not sure
Me: Your sense of orientation is bad as me (smile)
She: Cold smile, starts walking
Me: (I start walking next to her) thank you
She: replies but moves away,
I stopped walking with her

I start hoping I can get another good conversation.

Walking down a corridor, spot a lady, she is walking checking her phone, I get close. She doesn't recognize my presence till I say Hi and still recieved the Hi pretty nice.

Me: Hi
She: (looks up with a nice smile)(No ? in her face) Hi
Me: Do you know where Coles is?
She: I know but it is somehow hard to give you the direction.
Me: Have you been to this mall before?
She: Yes, but still I get confused, let me walk you to it.
Me: Sure (We start walking)
Me: Are you here to meet some friend?
She: No, I am picking up my kids, we will watch a film, they are with their aunt and they are late.
Me: How many kids have you got?
She: 3 (I saw some feeling in her face, maybe she was thinking her prime is over after 3 kids)
Me: You look too young to have 3 kids (thinking with myself, ask him about the dad, which I don't)
She: (Big smile.) Do I?
Me: Sure. How Old are you?
She: 37.
Me: Where are you from?
She: Background or suburb?
Me: Background
She: I am Indian Australian
Me: So you grandparents moved here?
She: My grandfather moved here when he was 8
Me: Wow!
She: Where are you from?
Me: I am from AA
She: When did you come here?
Me: I came here when ... (I think if I say I came here when I was AA it doesn't answer her question clearly, so I restart my sentence) I came here AA years ago, we are about the same age. (I can see now that there are several issues here: being too clear and removing ambiguity, giving too much info. which she didn't ask for)
Me: My name is Tom by the way (I extend my hand)
She: (Received my hand) My name is Alice.
Me: Have you got any plans for the long weekend?
She: (Thinks a bit) Spend time with family.
Me: Yeah, to keep it relaxing.
She: There is the concierge there, let's go and ask.
Me: Awesome.
(We get to the concierge, I think: "Shall I tell her you are in rush and I am good with English and I will ask?" But I think let her do it for you, this is compliance. She asks and turn to me and repeats the address.)
Me: Thank you, nice to meet you.
She: See you.

I think I could easily phone close her. She was very compliant and ready to do it with me? First I didn't expect it go that well and hadn't thought I would be able to phone close, another cause might have been the possibility that she was still engaged.

I walk away,, after a while I realize I could phone close her and start blaming myself. Anyway, I feel I got a very good energy out of it.

I spot a girl standing by her own at a café, I think I will grab a coffee and will sit next to her. (I go in the café thinking, what if by the time you order café you miss the situation, also you are in good vibe now, say a few more Hi while you are warmed up and finish it.) I go to the café anyway.

I order coffee, while waiting I head out of the café spot another girl walking towards me. Black lightly curly hair, black t-shirt, black short.

Me: Hi
She: Has that a? on her face.
Me: Do you know where Coles is? I am tired looking for it.
She: (Smiles) I feel you, go.. turn...
Me: Go...
She repeats
Me: Thank you
She: Good luck.

When I go to get my coffee the salesgirl receives me very well, with an energy that is new to me, maybe she saw me approaching that girl.

I get my coffee, the girl at the café is now on phone and the seat next to her occupied, so I lost the opportunity.

Have my coffee, on the way out of mall I think 6 is done, but I do some more which ran smoothly.

 

[James D]

Always nice to see someone jumping into taking action early on.

Looking forward to hearing your progress with the assignment.

Cheers!

 

[Thor252]

Thanks James

Been reading your LRs recently and inspired by them.

Credit to where credit is due

Your LRs have given me some clear ideas how to guide the conversation, the thing which I didn’t have

I feel my openner: “Where is …?” isn’t that good, cause she expects me to leave once she answers me. You got any idea how to go on from there?

Or else, I know you have got a selfie and compliment openner too, I am not confident enough for the compliment openner and selfie openner won’t fit quite well in a mall.

Could you suggest me few more openners?

There are various types of openers.

Mine isn't a selfie one. Kinda weird to ask someone to come for a selfie

(altho I did it when I was hitting on chicks in mumbai a decade ago and it worked fine to open cuz I was hyper high energy)

I ask her to take my picture, like a tourist would ask a local.

It's called a compliance opener. Hits on of the 3 attraction triggers.

It's a socially acceptable way to engage someone these days.

I've done it in malls as well. I find a nice feature, like a Christmas tree (that was in jan) or nice decorative, and I pose there.

Don't worry about which openers to use yet.

Focus on completing the entire newbie assignment without any thought to outcomes.

Completing the assignment is the successful outcome.

Use the openers listed there. Once you've completed each part of the assignment, feel free to free style while in conversation with the girl. That's great for exposure and teaches you basic social skills

Keep taking action, that's very good.

Finish the assignment (most guys never will).

Try your best to execute what the assignment tells you.

Tweaking—which openers, timing, etc— comes after.

Also, for faster results, get Chase's ebook How to Make Girls Chase.

It's the kind of book feminists and anti pua would burn cuz it prints seducers like a money printer prints dollar bills.

Awesome

Totally agree, too much pressure too soon does no good

 

[Thor252]

Hey there,

Day 5 started shiny, finished dark.

I enter the shopping mall, not the one I went to yesterday, this is the biggest mall of the city and pretty much attracts people from everywhere, I think it doesn't have the chill vibe of suburb malls.

I spot a girl sitting down on her own, I go sit next to her, after a few seconds:

Me: Hi
She: (was scrolling) Looks at me, somehow excited.
Me: How is your day going?
She: (smiles): good
Me: Do you know how can I get to Cole? (wanted to speak a bit more, so I added) I knew where it was before the new construction but
She: (interrupts me and gives the direction)
Me: (I didn't take offence, I think she didn't mean offence) Thanks

I leave, I could continue the convo, I even thought to ask her if she is meeting any friends in the mall but I didn't, I think I am too focused on the task today. Reminder to myself: keep it playful mate, it is not your job, enjoy the ride.

I actually move to Coles, on the way I approach two more ladies.

I enter Coles move around, don't buy anything, get out.

I think I have approached 3 ladies in less than 15 mins.

I get to the location I met the first girl, she is still sitting down, still scrolling, shall I approach her? what if she says what did you buy at Coles? (too much thinking) I walk around a bit, I know there is a chance with her, I decide to go back to Coles buy a protein bar, get back to her and brag about working out and my diet.

When in Coles I look for protein bar, can't locate them, I bought Kit Kat, get out of Coles, I start thinking what if I go there and she is not there, I feel like I am investing a lot on that occasion and refrain from going there.

I approached another girl, nice reply.

I realize all the girls I have approached today are Asian, so I decide no more Asian. Start looking for others and realize how rare they are, seems this mall is very popular between Asians.

I buy two t-shirts, after that I approach a black hair non Asian woman,

Me: Hi
She: (Doesn't reply and look right into my eyes as if she is very serious)
Me: (I refrain from asking "How is your day going?" and ask Coles directon.)
She gives direction.

I didn't say "How your day is going?" so this one doesn't count, this question has got a point in it, if the lady is not chill, throws her off. Too intrusive for the beginning of the convo? But I saw with he first girl, if she is chill and relaxed, this question just did what it meant to do, broke the ice.

I spot another girl, one of those with whole black outfit and black hair, seated, I walk towards her from back and sit next to her, after a few seconds,

Me: Hi
She: (turns to me, went back to her cell phone and looked at me again. tune down the volume of her headphones?)
Me: (My energy dropped a bit since she didn't say hi but anyway I continue) How can I get to ...
She gives the direction.

I start walking, come across this gorgeous tall blondy, "How can she be taller than me and still look good?" I shy away from approaching.

Approached another woman
Me: Hi
She looks into my eyes.
Me: How is your day going?
She starts walking away.
Me: (with loud voice) How can I get to Coles?

This one counts , I said "How is your day going?"

I didn't feel good about "How is your day going?" from the beginning, but decided to trust the assignment, also I think it suits when she is relaxed which is not the general vibe of this mall.

Tried approaching seated girls, so got some experience for future task, also received one reject, and indeed it was not biggie.

Task completed.

 

[average_daygamer]

This is a good warmup approach, well done. Another one I do is ask permission. "Can I talk to you" is great.

Some people say that asking for permission is wrong but I find it really works. It's another one you can try and it is binary. If they say no that is good because it is clear. If they say yes you can continue from there.

 

[Thor252]

Number closed it! Yeehaa!

Much less pressure today, I don't need to stick to a certain convo.

But on the other hand I was kinda down with the yesterday last approach in which the woman walked away while I was talking. Thought about it, well I didn't cause any harm, and was not harmed. Also I had approached 6-7 women, apart from the last one all were fine. They didn't get to anywhere but they were fine.

I also thought why the convos didn't go for long? I realized the only one that took a bit was with a girl who were standing by her own scrolling, all the others that I approached were walking, so not in a relaxed situation.

I was reading an LR by James D today, one asked him what signs he looks for before approaching, he said "she shall be in a relaxed situation". Wow! well said.

I have also witnessed my convo stalls when I want to say something but refrain from it. I am kinda a reserved man. Now I am thinking: "What comes into mind is the thing you have got to continue the convo, if you don't go for it, the convo stalls. You refrain from it because you think it is bad or not good enough. It is there, let it into existence, acknowledge it, then you see how it works, then you can twick it. If you don't acknowledge it, you as a person will stock there, in the next similar situation you will still be just the same."

So I will do todays task with two new tools: 1- Spot girls who are relaxing, chilled, etc. 2- Go for it.

I was a bit down when woke up this morning, started roaming around in forum, read "sex talk" article by "Alek" which hyped me. Some great eye opening sentences: "Beliefes affect behaviour".

I have promised myself to do this Newbie assignment for 14 days, so I will go to do Day 6 today, but I was not feeling it, after reading "sex talk" article I though: "Wow, sex drive is there, by doing the task you are appreciating sex drive and helping girls appreciate it."

I had the following convo with myself:

- Why are you doing this challenge?
-I want to create something good for myself and the girl
- Why do you do it with girls?
- Because I have got sex appeal towards girls, I am appreciating sex, and also helping the girl appreciate it. Creating something good for me and her, if this is that we both enjoy, why not? I like it, I have got excitement for it.

I have liked sex for a long time, but being exposed to this website and specifically James D LRs has changed something, James D has got this smooth approach, he starts the convo with her, leads the convo smoothly, creates some excitement, some bonding and have sex which is trilling for both of them. There is a story there, James makes her feel understood, creates excitement. This is kind of approach that I like, the approach itself is attractive for me. And of course the gift or maybe a significant milestone is having sex. Let's uphold this great nature power and enjoy it. Let's do our part to help girls uphold sex and enjoy it.

Ok, now about today's task.

I enter the shopping mall keeping in mind that convo is a two player dance, pay attention to the girls' situation, if she is chill there is much more chance to get somewhere.

I spot a blondy at a cafe sitting by herself scrolling, looks bored. I decide to order a coffee. I sit next to her while waiting for the coffee.

Me: Is the coffee here good?
She: Yes, it is pretty good
Me: It seems this is your go to cafe when you want to have coffee in this mall.
She: Yeas, that's right.
Me: What did you order?
She: Macchiato, what did you order?
Me: Chai latte, I am no1t that much of a coffee guy.
She: (her energy drops) Their Macchiato is pretty good (now I see why her energy dropped, she wanted to share her knowledge about coffee, and I just told her I am not intersted in coffee)
Me: Which one?
She: Macchiato, they make it pretty good here.
Me: How much coffee do you drink everyday?
She: Yes, everyday.
Me: I mean how many cups?
She: 2 (Her order is ready)
She to me: Have a good day.
Me: Thanks, you too.
She takes her coffee and leaves.

Lessons: 1- Don't rub differences on her face, look for similarities, that will increase her energy level.

You know how this convo could go forward? Let's imagine the following:

Once she says macchiato is good here I ask the saleswoman: Could you please change my order?
This would be breaking the rule, give her arousal.
Me to the girl: Now you have to wait till I get my coffee.
She: Why?
Me: Because I want to score your coffee taste. (Which creates the frame that I evaluate her.)

Anyway, I get my Chai Latte and taste it, it is really good.

I start walking, can't spot relaxed girls, get out of the mall take a short walk and get back in.

I tell myself task is done, you can go home now, but I want to continue, it seems I am enjoying it.

I walk around, enter the food court, spot a girl, not my type, on her laptop. The chair next to her is empty, I sit on it.
Me: You working from mall (smile)?
She 1: No, I am studying, the library is closed.
Me: Hmm, is a bummer, when every where else is open you would expect the library shall be open.
She 1: I know.
Me: Is it comfortable to study here?
She 1: It is a bit noisy but that is fine.
Me: What do you study?
She 1: Psychology.
.
.
.
I spot a girl sitting next to her, on her laptop too, she wants to be involved.
Me: And she must be your friend.
She 1: Yes she is.
Me to she 2: Do you also study Psychology?
She 2: No, I am studying ...., (gives some more info about what her major which I interpret as a sign of interest to continue the convo)
Me (she 2 is actually attractive): What is your name?
She 2: My name is Alice.
Me: My name is Tom. What is your plan for today?
She 1: We will study.
Me: For the whole day?
She 1: Yes, this one is due so...
Me: I hope you get over it.
It was kind of a bummer for me that they want to study the whole day, I liked to transit to a fun activity after that question but saw the whole day study as a block.
I check my cellphone, the good thing about approaching girls sitting is that if there you stop talking, you don't loose them, they are still there, just come up with something to continue.
I am playing Volleyball in the afternoon, one of the players just texted me to cancel, so now we are one player down.
Me: Are you guys into Volleyball?
She 1: No
She 2: I used to play in school but not much lately.
Me (I know it will have lots of constrains in it, but I have told me to go for it): Well, we are playing in the arvo at "AA" we are 11 players, so 1 player down, let me grab your phone number.
She 2: Thinking (Looks excited and wants to do it, starts talking)
She 1 (looks to she 2): No, (turns back to me): we don't know you.
Me (earlier today I had talked with me one of the great skills of james D is that when the girl objects him, James acknowledges the objection and moves it somewhere else, mate handling objections is a skill I love to learn): Fine, fine, it's fine.

I handled this one pretty well, much better than previous, I normally back off and discourage, and get annoyed. I think my level of reservation is decreasing a bit both for saying what I want and also with not getting annoyed.

I check my phone for a while, then I stand up and say: Nice to meet you ladies.
They: See you.

I get out of the mall, start the car, then stop it and park it again, I buy a notebook and a pen, write down my number.

I go to the girls, have a look I can't see any of them, both are gone.

I take another look, I see Alice sitting there, without her friend, her friend is gone, wow good luck.

I go to Alice and say: You made me buy a notebook and a pen (with a smile)
She is shy.
Me: (I cut the paper with my phone number and hand it to her, she looks around as if she feels being on the spotlight and takes the paper): Send me a text if you wanted to play today or next Sunday.

I leave.

You might think this is not a number closing, so stay tuned.

It's 4 pm I am at the Volleyball court, there is this new girl, one of the guys brought her since we needed a player.

I am good at volleyball, during the game:

Me: What is your name?
She: Linh.
Me: Your turn to serve.

Between two sets:

Me: (I throw her the ball): Let's warm up.
Another guy comes in and starts giving her tips about Volleybal.

During the set, I do some small talk,
Me: Do you study?
.
.
.
I find out she is a master's student, studies at "AA" unversity. I don't continue much because I want to concentrate on the Volleyball and I worry if I go on, other guys will tell me to play well.

After the game she is talking with a guy, I go close and start listening, once they stop speaking for a second I ask Linh and they guy: Are you in the same faculty?
They: Yes
Me: What do you study?
She: IT, do you study?
Me: No, I came here 7 years ago on a work visa.
She: Where do you work?
...

I kinda feel she is looking for a job, I tell her the company I work is a big one, she looks it up, says it is close to her campus and they are not hiring IT now.

We get out of the saloon, about to depart,
Me: Would you like me to add you to the volleyball group?
She: Yes, (smiles), another guy already got my number.
Me: let me grab your phone number
She opens WhatsApp
Me: I am not very comfortable with WhatsApp.
She: I will do it. (Scans my QR code and sends a message instantly: Linh)

We say goodbye!

I get home take shower, send her a text:
Me: Hi Linh, I a know a good bubble tea next to my office which I want to go this week, are you down?
She: Great, when are you going? I am pretty busy this week, only time I can do is "AA", or else we can do next week.
Me: I work 8-4 are you free in the afternoon?
She: Sorry, but I am playing Volleyball on Wednesday, will you join?
Me: Ok, so let's do it next weekend/week
She: Next Tuesday is fine too in the afternoon, sorry my schedule is crazy.
Me: Tuesday is good, 5pm?
She: sounds good
Me: Send her bubble tea location.

Tomorrow is a working day, I have not done approaching on a working day, I think I will start early, finish early and go straight to a mall after work.

Thanks mate!
Good points, but I think it actually puts her on a pedestal.
As long as it is only a warm up and you don't intend to get somewhere with it, it assures her that your intension is speaking and breaks the ice.

 

[Thor252]

First working day I want to pick up, I wale up early so that I can finish work early and go to a mall before it closes. Malls close at 6 in Melbourne.

I finish work at 3, go to my car and start reading assignment description, it refers to 3 articles which I have to read, I decisde to read it before getting to the mall to let it sink.

I get to the mall at 3:45, go in, kinda nervous amd also tired after a working day, start looking, no one seems attractive to me, I start worrying what if I can’t do todays task, a tall, gorgeous blondi wlks into a store in front of me, I cheer up, go to next to her.

Me: Your sense of style is very well put together (I do the smile) I had to tell you that.
She (big smile, I feel the complement landed amd she cheers up): Thanks you.
Me (extend my hand): I am Tom btw.
She (receives my hand): I am Lucy.
Me: Nice to meet you.
She (kina gets dissapointmet, was craving to go on, but I have to do the task and don’t have much time AND energy, so not in the perfect mood for chat): nice to meet you.

I observe all the customers in this store are good looking girls, I could see those around me got excited because of my interaction with her. I walk around the store a bit and get out, tell myself this store atracts all the good looking girls in this mall. Not much good looking, my type girls in this mall, mostly asians. I lose hope, start thinkg to go to the parking and go to another Mall, I see an atractive girl heading to parking, I follow her, she suddenly turns back as if she has reminded where she parked.

Me: You have a very attractive style.
She: Sorry.
Me: Your style is very attractive and unique.
She (smiles): Oh, thank you.
Me: Nice to meet you.

We partways, I didn’t introduce myself after the oppening.

It’s getting late and store are closing one after another, I decide to liwer the bar and approach even if she is not that attractive, I spot a lady.

Me: You have a very attractive style.
She: Oh realy?
Me: Ofcourse, my name is Ali btw (I extens my hand)
She ( doesn’t receive it and partways): Nice to meet you.
Me: Nice to meet you.

I spot a girl walking towards me with a scarf, I approach,
Me: That scarf is beautiful.
She (shy laugh)

I didn’t elaborate or introduced my self, but that’s ok, I have approached 4 ladies with complementing them. Now I have strated it and am not scared of it that much anymore.

 

[Thor252]

It’s getting easy, or I am getting better, at least I can say today was very easy.

Approached 3 sets, one was a double, did the “where is Coles thing” for 2 sets, another one was in a library I talked a bout the libray closing time, the girl was too young and too shy to continue.

The other 2 in the mall, first of them had a big body, I am much more relaxed approaching small girls, once I saw this big lady I decided to approach her, I continued the convo a bit saying “apparently you come here often” and “do you work here”, but the thing with “where is Coles?” is that it opens the sets pretty well, but doesn’t have the grip for you to continue, ofcourse the compliment openning has got lots of grips but might be surprising for her.

I did the “where is Coles thing” much better than before, much more relaxed, higher energy, talked slowly.

The compliment openning reveals I am attracted to her appearance, there is that risk with it that some ladies take it as intrusive and might not respond well (all the 4 I openned yesterday responded well, 2 attractive ones loved it, the mid 40 yrs one also replied very well but I could feel she didn’t buy it, the last one got very shy, so maybe they actually like it just like Chase says, but it is not an easy openning for me atm, will definately try that more and get better in it, since it has got a lot of potential, maybe the risk with it is much lower that I feel). Compliment oppenning makes me excited, after I oppenned 3 sets today I was thinking to open another sitting one with compliment but didn’t.

Got two locked eye contact from two gorgeous girls, didn’t open them, but atleast now I have a plan for such situations, lock eye contact, move towards her, say: “Hi!””I mean look at that amazing style you have got, it is very attractive and eye-catchy” do the smile and continue “caught my eye and didn’t let it free.”

 

[Thor252]

The walk is real!

Woke up and did my work out, had breakfast and got out of house to do the walk. Read articles about it after breakfast.

I went to chemist to get some pills, asked the boy at the reception, he had his supervisor to answer me, I guess he thought it must be very important.

Stayed in line to hand the prscription, the boy gave checked on me as if I am such a powerful man.

The girl at the checkout looked me in a special manner.

Several people gave way to me while I was walking around in the chemist.

Headed to the mall, while going through the doorway, a whole family gave way to me, a few steps ahead the mom turned back to check on me.

Mostly men and wemon in their 40s gave me special looks in the mall. Specifically I realized a woman cheking on me and when we waited in a line, her husband asked her something and she said :”Just the front” I guess she was talking about me.

Locked eye with the girl at coffe shop at checkout, she locked eye, then broke then locked again.

While having a coffe I gave a girl strong eye contact while she was walking she turned around.

 

[Thor252]

I head to a mall which I rarely go to, it is Sunday afternoon, end of a long weekend.

Feeling much more relaxed driving there than other times, I start with scouting the mall, I realize there are not much girls on their own, mostly families or with friends.

I have approached girls in group of 2 and I feel they are much more relaxed in such situations, I need to get used to that kind of approach.

I get a few chances that I don’t take, it is about 45 mins and I haven’t approached anyone, I tell myself I will approach 2 before the 1 hour mark, which I do.

First one was dissmissive at Hi, second one was dissmissive at How is your day going.
