Here I am again, it's 04:55 A.M. and I'm writing a field report. First thing first - I WILL NOT SLEEP UNTIL I FINISH THIS REPORT. Sorry for the caps there.

Right, so after finishing yesterday's FR, I got a message from a friend of mine - BBQ at his place. Already had to go somewhere later, anyway, but I thought 'Yeah, why the hell not?'

So I'm at his place, enjoying the BBQ, drinking a few beers, when it's time for me to go (surprise party for a friend's girlfriend's birthday). I looked on the internet for directions for the exact tram I needed to take, but after walking a bit, I cannot find the exact way. I know I'm on the right direction, not sure of the way. So I walk up to this girl [HB8] who's about to enter her house (literally, she already opened her door):

Me: "Sorry, do you know where the tram X stops around here?"

Her (surprising me with an American accent): "Yeah, starts giving directions, where are you from?" (that's when I thought "Okay, this is an obvious IOI. Game time!)

Me: [enter actually kinda complicated story of what I'm doing in this country and where I'm originally from here]

Her: "Oh, cool, I've actually got family over there!"

She and I do some more fluff talk about where she is from and all that jazz. I find out she leaves in two weeks. She asks me whether I live close by - unfortunately, I live basically on the other side of town (therefore, around 30-45 minutes away with public transport)

Me: "Well, I really have to go catch my tram, but put your number in my phone" grabs out phone

She: "Wow, already?"

Me: "Yup."

Her: "Do you have a name?"

Me: "Maybe I do, maybe I don't, do you?"

Her: "Maybe I do, maybe I don't."

Me: Well, my name's a complicated one, so just call me [enter name here]."

She: "My name is [enter her name here], my number is [enter number here]"

Me: "Great, I have to run, though, I gotta get my tram, so I'll send you a text message some time! See ya!"

I make it to my friend's surprise party (retired PUA, by the way, who gives me lotsa advice), meet up with our entourage (already know them all, pretty rich guys - free drinks. AWWWWWWWW YEAH!). We're in a pretty fancy restaurant. Talk a bit with my friend about last night and the phone close I had on the way. We decide to forget about the game until we move out to one of the nightclubs. I approach something like 6 sets in that club, out of these, nothing came out. This is how the sets went:

  • Set 1 - go to group of girls. "Hey, how are you?" Girls: "We don't speak English." Or any language other than French for that matter.
  • Set 2 - approach a HB7 sitting alone with her fan. Again, start with the casual "Hey, how are you?" She seems pretty interested, but I - like many in my level (not an excuse in any way, shape or form, though) - go too much intellectual on her there and not enough caveman.
  • Set 3 - approach two Filipino girls [HB6 and HB8]. They're just too closed. Again, I think too much intellectual and not enough caveman (actually, no caveman at all).
  • Set 4 - two girls are sitting outside (went for some fresh air), talking in French. I approach "Hey there, how are you do-" "Fine, thank you." continues talking in French. Now that is a blow-off.
  • Set 5 - see a girl standing alone, looking bored. "You look like there's something on your mind." "No, there isn't." "So, what, it's empty in here?" She laughs. Should've gone for a direct dance then, but I went intellectual with her.
  • Set 6 - Again, I go too much intellectual and not enough caveman on a girl I see from across the club, though it was an improvement.
  • Set 6 - go to friends, see a girl sitting, looking sad/tired, sitting between her friends. I raise up my hand, she takes a few seconds, notices me, waves, so I push my hand towards her (still up), and she high-fives me. Grab her hand, pull her in for a dance, but she starts talking (the girl from set 5 is a good friend of hers and what not, she saw me talk to 'em). I try to pull her for another dance after she talks, but she resists. Eject back to friends.

During all of that time, my ex-PUA friend was kind enough to give me some advices on club gaming and everything. All I have to tell people wondering is this - don't move around too much unless you're a fucking pro at dancing. And I really mean pro; as in making your money out of dancing.

As usual, feedback appreciated! And woohoo - finished it without needing sleep! >:D
