I would like to give some background info before I begin. I'm from New Jersey and I had very little experience in sarging before I attended the San Francisco bootcamp in July. I learned some key elements for the approach at the Day Game seminar and bootcamp and tried to apply them on field afterward. Discovery is an expert at Day Game lol.
This is an old FR and now I can pick out most of the mistakes I made since I've had more experience since then, but I would like to hear your criticisms.
FR #1:
So after the bootcamp, I checked out of the hotel, got my bags and took the public transit back to my friend's house in San Jose. I hopped on the train and saw a cute HB 7. I was about to sit down on a seat that was perpendicular to her's so I would be facing her and she was facing the window, but then I remembered to preserve her comfort zone, so I moved a a seat that was a little further away and I was not facing her. I waited for a bit and pretended I just got a funny txt message on my phone and then I opened with the "My niece's birthday" opinion opener (BTW I could see from my prephireals she was checking me out, I could of probably opened more direct but anyways) So then she asked the basic questions like, "how old is she?" and blah blah blah, and she was kinda unsure on what to get her, I playfully negged her between her responses like "your nose wiggles when you talk" and "boy, you're alot of help". I don't quite remember but I inserted some DHV spikes like "my ex-girlfriend helped me shop" and I forget what else. So after a few minutes of chat, I told her, "you seem kinda cool, whenever you're in the East Coast we should hang out" (I think should have said something else that wouldn't have shown that much interest like "is there anyway we could continue this conversation?") So she answered, "well I'm going to be busy working and going to school for four years, I'm a med student at blah blah blah, so you would have to come to me." I answered, "well thats cool, here (gives her cell phone) put down your number." She gave me the number to her...job, lol. We arrived at her stop and we said our good-byes. Its most likely a flake, but whatever, I'm learning lol.
FR #2:
Alright, so I'm back in my home state in New Jersey. I went to work all positive playful and all my co-workers were pleasantly surprised at the new me. After I got out of work, I decided to do some sarging in my local mall. I was ready to jump right in with my new skillz. After some warm up approaches I saw my 2 set at the food court (HB 7.5 HB 6.7). I opened over the shoulder to the seated 2 set with the "niece's birthday" opener. They began to ask the generic questions again. I built up on the opener by adding how my niece is not one of those goody goody girls and she is one of those gothic girls but I don't want to get her a piercing or tattoo lol. I do some body rocking and pretend I'm about the leave the set, but then look back like I just noticed something and say the "are you guys best friends/same facial expressions" bit and they laugh. I grab a chair and do a FTC as I'm sitting down and I continue with the opener while leaned back. I added some DHV spikes and humor by saying, "My ex-girlfiriend and I were shopping for my niece and..... we found this black jewelery case with....diamond plated border around it....and inside of it was a cross necklace like mine (point to my necklace)...but it was black and had a gothic look to it....We were about to buy it but I found out from my sister that my niece has recently became an atheist." *calibrate with laugh and surprised look* That extra humor bit to the story always makes the set laugh and open up, haha, btw all bullsht and made up on the spot too lol. I do the "bad/good girl" cold read but got the cold read wrong on purpose to see their reaction, they looked at each other and said, "wait I think you got it reveresd", so I said, "well I was half right" *calibrate with smile* ( I think cold reads work better when they are right). So I decided to close it with, " you girls seem kinda cool", the alpha girl (HB 6.7) interrupted with, "yea, we're pretty cool" and I continued with, "my friends and I are having a party this weekend and you are welcome to join us." The HB 6.7 said, "well I got a volleyball game so I can't (points to her volleyball shirt)." I respond with, "Oh ok, so do you sit on the bleachers" *calibrate with smile* (they both laugh). We exhanged names and said our good-byes and stating I will continue my search for a gift for my neice. I probably could have still number closed if I pushed further and said, "well it would be a shame not to continue this conversation."
Those are my two FRs. Thanks for reading and give me your thoughts. I think I might post some more FRs in the future. This one is kinda boring compared to the ones I'm getting now :p
