Day 34/360: Loud Club Game

Had lunch with an old friend. Ran pretty much no routines, sat across from her. She has a boyfriend and is part of our social circle and other reasons. Still, I declared that I was high maintenance and had fun with her. She looked like she didn’t want to part ways at the end of lunch.

I made some phone calls, reconnected with Hell girl, talked to two girls I met last night, but could not reach German girl. Oh well.

Worked with some people toward becoming a promoter. Got in for free.

49. C<5: Two girls standing by themselves, sex last week, no, eject.

50. B: Tall girl with a wedding band, sex last week, no, but that’s a really good line, left.

Nomad arrived but had to pay $20. Sorry!

51. B: Four girls standing outside the women’s room. Sex last week. Friend shoves me, then sincerely apologized and said, “Sorry that’s my friend.”

We decided to play a game: we were standing right outside the women’s bathroom, so we would take turns opening every girl that came out.

52. C<5: British girl, sex last week, not her, she's got a boyfriend, cat routine, she's got a boyfriend, 8 girlfriends, she's got a boyfriend. She left.

53. C<5: Black girl, sex last week, yes it's her, smart tests, smart/hot/rich, she's no longer interested and left.

54. C>5: Girl by the bar that Nomad saw was looking a me. Sex last week, no, it wasn’t her. Smart tests, smart/hot/rich, blender. She suddenly went back to the opener for a long time, all while I was caressing the bare side of her back. Verbally she was trying to blow me out, saying it’s not her and her boyfriend’s right there, commanding me to look. I refused to look, saying she’d just disappear like last week, and then I demanded my wallet back. She eventually walked away. In retrospect I should have did what I did with the girl last night, asking if she remembered the various things I did (slow dance, hair tug, kiss).

55 – 60. B: Girls walked right past me, or were pulled by their friends to continue walking, or were disgusted by sex last week.

61. C<5: Tall girl looking around. Sex last week, "Oh I look like her? Were you here last week? What was her name?" Worked a little too well. Too bad her boyfriend came in a few minutes later.

It was really difficult to be authoritative tonight. I usually do sex last week really fast because the speed of my talking overcomes the girls’ objections, and many times they wind up agreeing that it was her. Tonight, the music was really loud so the speed talking was undecipherable. I had to repeat myself multiple times, which loses the effect of the opener.

I had strong bouts of anxiety for specific things. I wanted to do the dance floor opener (jump in the middle of a circle) but I couldn’t. I wanted to talk to a specific girl on the street but after delaying for about 15 minutes, I finally walked away. Strange.

Overall the two of us opened a lot of sets, though they didn’t stick. I kept to the formula even though I doubted it would work in this environment, which may have been a bad idea. Well, next time I’ll try a more physical, less verbal opener. I also stayed in and kept touching this girl even though she was verbally telling me it wasn’t her. Oh, and I managed to double book tomorrow with two dates. I don’t know how things are going to end up; hopefully it will not end up with me having two flakes.

One thing of note is that my repertoire was fine tonight, and my authoritativeness was about right. But my voice projection and talking speed were off. And in a loud environment like this, more physical dialogue would have been more appropriate.

B: 8
C<5: 4
