Howdy y'all, from Austin Texas. I've read a decent amount of seduction material, (Models, Double Your Degeneracy, How to be a 3% pimpgangster, Magic Mullets, No More Mr Douchebag) and finally decided to approach today. Goal was 10 approaches, result was 1. Might be worth mentioning I'm a decently good looking dude.

The Approach: I saw a cute little blonde gal at Starbucks as I walked by. She's on the phone so I go elsewhere. Come back (blunder 1 - never walk by multiple times. Though I don't believe she noticed.) She's off the phone this time reading a book, so I make a B-line. I'm nervous. Really nervous. I continue my path anyways.

"Hi!"

She looks up, confused.

"I was walking by and thought you were really cute so I wanted to come say hi"

She's receptive, smiling "Hi"

"What are you working on?"

She tells me about her job search, and I tell her about how I just finished one, and it's not a fun process.

Did I mention I was nervous? I couldn't keep my leg from shaking, perhaps unnoticeably to her, perhaps she smelled the fear. I was like an injured baby seal, lathered in sweet delicious otter blood and dropped into a pool of thumbtacks with 5 food-deprived great-whites. I press on.

"Where do you work?" "Accredo" + an explanation.

I explain that I was looking there and wanted to work at their Stockholm office, and say some other stuff superfluous to this report. Something about my hairy buttcrack I think. Just kidding.

"Are you from Austin?" I ask. "Yep" "Because I always ask Austinites about their favorite foods, being that this place is world renowned for its food"

She tells me about Hot Doddy(sp?) this burger place, and how their milkshakes are good. I go into how I was happy that in-n-out burger is in Texas because I just moved here.

She explains that she goes to Clemson and is just here on break and and internship.

Blunder 2 goes as follows "Nice! Where do you work?" "...Accredo" still receptive and smiling, albeit perhaps a little confused. "Ahhhhh yeah" I try to explain that I was confused somehow because she was in school. Really I'm just dumber than a bag of hammers.

The conversation flows on, finally, I say

"You seem really cool - do you want to hang out before you go back for school?" Hesitation... "I have a boyfriend back home" "Oh Nice! What's his name?" (No hesitation) "Nathan" "No hesitation, very nice. That means he's real" (Thanks Sasha)

A little smile "yeah" more light conversation.

Time to Eject: "Well, I will let you get back to it. Best of luck with everything"

"Thank you, enjoy Austin!"

Anyways, made me feel really good to get a first one in.

My main sticking points were: Eye contact (decent here, I made a lot of eye contact, but also stared off into space while talking a little bit). Physical shaking from nervousness - Don't know how to prevent this, but I need to chill the hell out. No humor - Need to be a little funnier, instead of play 20 questions.

Oh and this was with a lack of superpowers, I fapped 3 days ago. Just kidding about the super powers. But only a little bit.

Any advice for what I might work on based upon this story is highly appreciated.

If anyone wants to offer assistance to an Austin newcomer, please reach out.
