Field Report - 101

Since none of you moron friends and readers of mine helped me by replying to my previous post, and me not being the very patient types, I decided to take things into my own hands.

On 29-Dec-2008 (Monday), I decided that come what may - I'm gonna hit on that chick in my gym. I had prepped myself into the right mind space and finally, I reached the gym floor only to find that she hadn't come in today!
I must confess, I was very disappointed indeed.


But, all was not lost! There was this other babe in the gym. Technically, she isn't a babe per se. I say this cause she's as tall as me, older than me (I wouldn't rate this as a definitive disadvantage per se) and built like a tank (seriously, she'd give Scott Steiner a run for his money!).

She's one person who's been coming to the gym for the last 3+ months, but, has never (atleast I haven't seen her) spoken to anyone there. On that note, I must also mention, she never smiles at anyone either.
I figured that if I were able to "Open The Set" (PUA language) with her - I would be able to "Open The Set" with anyone.


In my honest opinion - the toughest part in "Opening A Set" is the approach. The anxiety revolving around the fear of rejection is really what freaks you out the most and as a result - kills your appetite!
But, somehow (thankfully!), I was able to push beyond that and pursue what I had really come here for - "Opening The Set"


I never figured that things would be as simple as extending your hands and saying - "Hi ... I'm Sharath ... And who're you?".

She seemed very hesitant about talking to me at first, but, I think, my "I don't need what you've got" attitude and "confident" mannerism was what sealed the deal. Over the next 15 minutes - I had her talking to me like a 8 year old kid.

And just as she was leaving for the day I said - "You know what ... You have a really nice smile ... Next time I see ya - don't forget to beam me a big smile ... Okay?" - and believe me - she was smiling from ear to ear.

One part of me argues that it was "Beginners Luck". That maybe true! But, I'm gonna put try this approach to the test a couple of more times over the next couple of days/weeks (with different people ofcourse!). If it still works, then, sure as hell it's not Beginners Luck!


But, in any case - after that day, I realized, there is nothing to be worried off! As a matter of fact - this is pretty easy stuff.
Also, I must say - my confidence levels are much higher than it was before 29-Dec-2008. Now, in some teenie-weenie little corner of my head, I am no longer intimidated about talking to a strangers (strangers with tits i.e.!)



Do expect more field report - Good, Bad And Ugly - over the next couple of days/weeks/months.


Wish me luck!!!
