FR: First Close

Alright so I'm making progress over the bullshit with my closing, heres the report:

So me and my wing were feeling the urge to go out and sarge hardcore, our plans to go to a party earlier was ruined so we decided we'd hit the movie theater (being minors and all).

The whole state discussion (see the earlier post) has had me hooked on the idea and all week I've been wired. I think I only had two mellow days so far since TJ introduced the idea of 100% to me, that coupled with my own theory of PMA created this: 100% PMA strolling into the theater like my fucking dad owned it or some shit. Alright no game inside, we got tickets and headed outdoors to search.

My wing is still have AA problems so the two set we walk by, some HB7 with platinum blond hair and HB8 a cute brunette I tell him to just stroll with me, I'll handle it.

Shadow5a: Hey, do you think this guy looks 18?

HBPlatinum:
Uh...fghjkuivhji

Shadow5a:
Because we just went in to get tickets and he got ID'd

HBPlatinum: Oh, what movie are you guy's going to see? I took this as an IOI

At this point HBPlatinum was like..staring at me, and I just realized why.

HBPlatinum: Don't I know you from somewhere?

Shadow5a:
Oh Ya....puts on a enlightened look...Your Taylor right?

HBPlatinum:
Ya, your Peter right?

skip forward about 5 minutes, the girls didn't have money to get in or something so we told them that our friends were sneaking in and they could come with.

HBCuteBrunette:
So are we going to your movie?

Shadow5a: Yeah definitely, go with my friends and we'll open the doors for you

This is were me and my wing screwed up. They went into the theater before us and ruined our plans to isolate them. The coolest thing ever happened though, the friends we snuck in to the show thought that this whole sarging thing was bullshit. As I sat down Mike leaned over and whispered "Hey did you guys just pick those girls up?" I just said "Ya" and leaned back in my seat with the biggest grin on my face possible.

Anyways, when the movie was over we just walked out, figuring they would follow. Problem was they did but they just said "bye" and walked straight off.

I was kinda pissed because I was ready to walk up to HBCuteBrunette and close her but they just took off.

A day later I get two messages on Nexopia from these girls. That's where I managed to set up a day 2 and #close HBCuteBrunette.

This is how I closed:

------------------------------------------

I also recorded the whole series of messages. I would like some critique on my messaging game for those who have time but it's fairly long so I'll stick it in a comment on this post.

And that's how I got my first number close after learning about pickup. I have a feeling she's going to flake because it's the day after but If I get the Day 2 I'll FR it and grab some pictures too!

Thanks guys I'm out,
Shadow5a

because he wants to be with someone ALl the time.

Shadow-

AWESOME FR! Way to internalize the idea of 100 percent...so key!

A movie pickup is impressive! Any kind of close in day game is difficult because of logistics and energy levels and you made it happen. Mad respect.

As for your text game, I think it's solid. Great roleplay on the Miami thing and lots of good stuff here.

My only suggestion is don't get too caught up on "boyfriend" threads. Take this as a shit test. Just reframe it or ignore it. Don't ask if she needs to talk because that's what guys in LJBF zones do. But you made a key move by not trying to give her advice or solve her problems. Just listening is all girls really want.

Really nice dude. I'm smiling as I'm writing this.

I-Man said...

2 things. Both have to deal with frame control.

You did an awesome job taking the frame when she brought up her boyfriend. You just went on talking about your last GF which was the right thing to do. Pre-selected and all that jazz.

When she accused you of being shy, you screwed up by saying "No im not" because you played into her frame. She got you to react emotionally and that is not something you want to do. By reacting to her comment you are subcommunicating that you are weak. A stronger man or PUA doesnt have to defend himself like that because in our minds, an accusation like that is so far from the truth, its so unbelievably ridiculous, that it doesn't even deserve a response.

instead of saying no and playing into her frame, there are a number of things you could have done.

1. Completely ignore the comment. Dont make even the slightest twitch in your face. Dont let your voice waver at all. Be completely non-affected not matter what comments are thrown your way.

2. Agree with whatever comment is said and exaggerate it to an extreme level. Mystery will sometimes wear this crazy multicolored coat and all the guys will come say it looks like a carpet or something, trying to AMOG Mystery. Mysteries response is: Actually I ripped it off my grandmothers couch, now she is sleeping on springs, shes sooo pissed at me. Or a retort to a shy accusation would be: Your the 8th person thats told me that today. All the critics that were reviewing my porno movie today said the same thing! Ugh, well at least you understand my problem.

First close, damn. Warning you is futile, however it should be stated for the record that your prolly gonna get one-itice if things tart to heat up with her. Happens to us all, more so near the beginning, and still does now. Be careful man, one-itice has killed many a PUA. Dangerous stuff. Good work on the 100% Sooo so important.

Ron Burgundy said...

Funny you mention the one-itis thing.

She flaked and I have to admit i feel kind of shitty but I think I'll get over it soon. It's just the way she flaked, every time I texted her confirming the day two she wouldn't respond...

Oh well next target, she was far from perfect anyways.
