Hey guys, decided to go out to "the hot spot" in my city(which is shamefully lacking in hot girls) and decided to do some day pickup.

Bit of background: I've known about the pickup community since high school but was too blue pilled to actively approach. why would you ignore 50% of the human population?

I recorded some pickup attempts that I based around Tom Torero's Beginner's Guide to Day Game so I can really get the most out of the field reports I'm putting up here in order to become a black belt in pickup (all right enough with the BJJ references ;p). All names changed for privacy.

Approach 1:

Saw a girl walking ahead with me with a great ass, decided to try the "run in front and stop her" tactic that apparently makes you look confident as fuck.

Me: Hi, uh, two seconds

Her: Sorry I'm meeting people

Me: Oh you're on your way (move out from in front of her to walking along beside her)

Her: Yeah

Me: How's your day going so far?

Her: Very well, thanks

Me: Look, I saw you back there and thought you looked really cute and I had to come say hello

Her: Huh.

Me: My name's Thrownawayisland (hand shake)

Her: Hi, Jenny, nice to meet you

Me: Nice to meet you. You look like you're uh, going somewhere uh, very athletic, very...

Her: Yeah, I'm actually in training right now.

Me: Oh, you're in training. Are you like the coach there, the instructor that's gonna empower everyone, haha?

Her: No

Me: No, you seem to have a very Brazilian kinda flair to you, reminds me of a jungle look, haha (she was wearing some jungle leaf pattern hoodie)

Her: Ohhhh... yeah no

Me: Hey look well I understand you gotta get somewhere there. I gotta head out myself. Would you be down to grab a coffee some time?

Her: Sorry I can't, I gotta go

Me: Ok, well you have a good day, eh

Her: You too, take care

Approach 2:

Saw a girl walk into a book store so went in after her:

Me: I just saw you there and thought you looked really cute

Her: Oh, thanks

Me: How's it going?

Her: Good

Me: Good, yeah, no you seem to have a kinda like cool style about you. Almost like an African kinda thing, are you from [my city] or? (she had an African style bag and almost native american sweater or whatever)

Her: Yeah

Me: Oh you are, eh? Just very well travelled, eh, haha

Her: Yeah I guess so

Me: Oh yeah, ya know when I think of Africa I think of, ya know, people hunting on the safari's and all that, comin back with lions's pelt and whatnot, showin off to everybody, haha.

Her: Yeah

Me: What brings you to the book store, here?

Her: I like reading

Me: Oh really, yeah? What are your favorite kinda books?

Her: I read everything

Me: Oh really, everything, right.

Her: Yeah

Me: So you're into the dark erotica, ahahaha

Her: Maybe not that

Me: The dirty stuff there, right

Her: Yeah

Me: Keep it, keep it light. Anything, uh, you recommend, for uh, guys like, playin hooky off work, and ya know, has a short attention span?

Her: Uh.. I dunno

Me: Hey look, I'm gonna let you get back to your books here, I mean there's the pick of the months over there, um, I was wondering if you'd be down to grab a coffee sometime here.

Her: Uh, I'm really flattered and everything but, uh, I'm just... kinda seeing someone.

Me: Hey that's cool, right on, well it was a pleasure meeting you there

Her: Yeah

Approach 3:

Same book store, next day. Saw a cute girl walk by and look at me, gave her the up-nod and she smiled then continued. Approached her

Me: Excuse me, I just saw you there and I thought you looked really cute, so I had to come say hello

Her: Oh, hello

Me: How's your day going so far?

Her: (giggles) it's good, how bout you?

Me: Really good actually, uh, just getting some last minute Mother's Day stuff outta the way there.

Her: Yeah

Me: You can see I'm doing really good at it, right ya know (my hands were empty)

Her: Haha yeah

Me: You look like you're kinda doin... doin the same thing there yourself, or you're just killin time

Her: I'm just applying for jobs (at the coffee shop in the book store)

Me: Oh are you? Hey cool, well right on, ya never know, you could be runnin this place pretty soon here.

Her: Haha, yeah that's true

Me: Well if you do you do, you're gonna have to owe me like... some sort of like gift card or something here

Her: Haha

Me: Ya know, at least some cream in the coffee there..

Her: Haha, just a...

Me: Just a lil bit. Hey uh, ya know what uh... I think when I get the vibe of somebody who's like working at a coffee shop, I feel like they're pretty laid back, pretty chill, right

Her: Haha oh yeah

Me: Are you from [my city] here?

Her: Uh, I'm just moving here.

Me: Oh, you're just moving here eh

Her: Haha

At this point I've noticed she's been giving positive vibes but was doong quick glances around as if she expected someone to show up that she didnt want to. Sure enough, a tall fat chick shows up to cock block things, so I try to win over the friend

Me: Is this your friend here?

Friend: MMMHMMMMM

Me: Hey how's it going, I just saw your friend here..

Friend: YEAAAHHH

Me: ..and decided to give her a hard time, ya know. How's your day going so far

Friend: GOOoood. (turns to her friend) are you gonna...? ["submit the fucking resume already so this shitlord can get the fuck away from you" is what she was implying]

Her: Just waiting... (could tell there was some tension between the two as if this "friend" is a controlling bitch micro managing her life)

Me: Hey look, uh, I understand you gotta, you gotta head, uh, head out here. I was wondering if I'd be able to grab your number, we could grab a coffee some time

Her: Ummm, I actually..

Me: If your friend doesn't mind there, ya know

Friend: I THINK WE'RE GOOD

Her: Thank you, though

Me: Yeah, no worries, you guys have a good one.

Overall I'd say I adjusted my tonality to slow down the pace between the first to last chick and made sure my voice was deep. Thanks for any advice you can give to help me sharpen my "game".
