Day 1

Day 1

I did 2 field sessions today - one at the mall and one bar hopping.

Went down to the mall on the way home from work to meet up with Shiznites, walked around, and I kept thinking, god this mall sucks ass! Not a lot of girls, and many of which are very young. I saw a cute girl walk by and into a store who looked just like Charlize Theron. Walked over and decided on shock and awe during my march over to her.

"Hey, listen. You can't go walking around the mall looking like that and not expect me to come over and say hi. You're adorable, what is the matter with you?"

Asked some generic interview questions, she went back to shopping.

Phew - that wasn't so bad

Spotted another hottie walking out of Urban Outfitters and towards Forever 21. I thought about it a little too much. I remembered that if I think too much, then just run over there and trust that the words will come out. So I start to sprint, got over there, complimented her, chatted a little, and she went back to shopping.

I was walking when I saw this girl in the distance. She looked like she could be a little too young. Whatever, I'll just go and fuck around. Walked over to her -

"Hey!"
"Yes?"
(Singing) "You remind me of a girl, that I, once knew....."

She stayed for the entire chorus! Her feet glued to the ground. Awesome. I finished my song, got nervous, and let her get on her way.

That sums up the mall session.

Had some dinner and then met up with Raven in the city. I had a weird feeling that 230 fifth might be good tonight. We rolled over there, and there were a couple of sets, mostly vacationers. Raven went in to this 2 set French girls, with one of them being super hot. I'll go and take one for the team! Chatted with the friend, who didn't like me at all. But distract her from her friend I definitely did.

Got out of there, we went into other sets, but nothing much happened. There was this one girl in a 4 set that didn't say anything, and I ended up asking if she spoke English. Turns out, she doesn't! She understood when I spoke slowly, but elected not to try the English she knew.

Went to this hookah bar in West Village and saw a 2 set of tall thin brunettes (yes! my girlfriend finally appeared!). I make my approach, and the friend gets distracted. Hug, push off, claw, push off, hand hold.

After we chat a bit:

HB: I am going outside to go smoke, I'll be right back.
Me: No, don't come right back.
HB (confused): Are you saying that because you don't think I'm coming back.
Me: This is your one shot at me. You screw this up or walk away, that's it.
HB: What if I have to pee or something? I deserve at least 2-3 shots at it.

Forgot what was exchanged, but I ended up walking back to Raven. I tell him this is on, I have no idea why I walked over to him. He tells me I should go back in. I go back and tell her I am going outside, walk with me. And she does. Once outside, some guy tried to AMOG me (wtf? every fuckin night I get this shit). The girl and I have already created an 'us' bubble, he was too late. I walked a couple of steps away from the front of the bar with the girl and I share a couple of stories. Raven walks by and I yell to him:

Me: Hey! Raven, meet my girlfriend! This is HB, isn't she adorable? (as I do this, I am clawing her, I push her off just a bit, and then I pull her in by the far side of her head and kiss her on the near side of her head)

They exchange introductions and a couple of words and the girl ends up saying something that Raven teases her for, and I join in with "You're embarrassing me in front of my friend!" (pounding in the girlfriend dynamic further). We continue to vibe, the makeout was there, at least I should have gone for it. I wussed out.

A couple of minutes later, her friends pull her back to the bar, she asks me to call her. Good thing I got the number in the middle instead of having an awkward moment here.

It was a fun night. The physical push-pull is awesome, even I feel the emotional spikes from it. The girlfriend role play was fun too. And flipping the script on her, telling her she only has one shot at me - money!
