I am practicing approaching and just got a cold blooded rejection. Two girls sitting at a table in a bar. I walk in solo, get a drink, and after scanning the room and having a few sips, I walk up to them and say, "Hey, I'm killing a little time before I meet a friend, you two look like you're having the most fun out of anyone in here, want to do a shot??".
I was going to try to play a game of rock, paper, scissors for who was going to pay but before I could even finish one of the chicks abruptly stops me and says tersely, "We are having a serious conversation." I can't capture in text the disgust she expressed as they both stared at me blankly with dagger-eyes. Just a few seconds ago they were laughing and seemed like a good couple to try to open.
"Soooo.. no shots?" eyebrow raise
"No".
"Okay, what are your names?" with a smile
I shook their hands, introduced myself and went back to my spot to shoot the shit with the bartender. Minutes later, another chick approaches me and asks me to join her at the table across from the two originals. We had fun and I noticed one of the girls (the one who didn't shut me down) watching. I later left, looked at myself in the mirror, laughed for a minute, said "dude, you have work to do", put on my gym clothes and hit the gym for a late night lift.
You know what would have been worse and what I would have regretted? Never having said anything to them to begin with. So uncomfortable but so necessary.
