I love this story, if read right, it teaches you the lesson of not stressing over finding a "good opener".

Speaking of creative openers, I was getting a little anxious before an approach and decided to google openers ( Yes I actually went on google to get conversation starters) and i found a funny one.

It says " How much do polar bears weigh? ... enough to break the ice" Seemed really lame but it sort of motivated me and I decided why not? so i saw a girl at the vending machine and used it on her and she sorta laughed and shut down the conversation politely but that first approach made me feel better so I began walking down the halls when I noticed two of my friends, had a brief chat( helped a little bit with the social momentum) then I approached two strangers ( A guy and hid girlfriend?) and used the polar bear line which was met with a little laughter, ( keeping that momentum going.)

About maybe seven steps later, I noticed this nice looking indian chic looking at me so I opened WITHOUT actually using that stupid line and we chatted a little bit. She seemed pretty receptive and there was a little laughter with both of us contributing to the conversation. I actually manged to number close ( My first one this year ) but she seemed a little iffy about giving me her number and hesitated a little bit so nothing's probably gonna happen.

Here's the funny part, It took only about 5 min, after closing the indian chic, for me to start losing the momentum I just built up previously si I sorta walked around aimlessly for another few minutes to try and psyche myself back into it. As I was walking I noticed a girl standing by herself as if to be waiting for someone so i walked by her at first feeling a bit too anxious but I manage to make the approach as she began walkin with her friend

ME : hey you guys wanna hear a joke?

Her: sure! ... i guess.

ME : Insert polar bear line

Her : kind of laughs

Me : oh come it was a little funny at least, i just broke the ice ( Double entendre(?))

Her : Sort of pity laughs

Then we part ways ... t'was a terrible approach but "at least I did it so moving on" ... I said to myself.

Then I headed towards the gym ( not to work out just headed in that direction) and I spot another chic who looked like she just finished working out so I decided to open her .... but chickened out as I got closer but I was able to still psyche myself into doing it though so after walking by her I turn, take a few steps back and:

Me : Yo what does a polar bear weigh?

Her : ... Just enough to break the ice

Me : Shit, you heard that before?

Her : It's a pretty common pickup line ( Is it though? cos I have never heard this before)

Me : Oh wow i'm always a couple years behind

then she laughs and nods in agreement

Me : so what do the guys use these days?

still laughing

Her : I don't know

Me : aight gimme 5 mins, I'll be back with a more modern line to use ....

And that was the end of that approach. I felt really awkward after being called out so I just had to end it. I don't know what to make of this approach though ... probably not too good.

After a little bit more walking, I notice a sorta chubby chic coming up the stairs so I open her with the polar bear joke and she calls me out as well.

Me : insert first half of polar bear joke

Her : insert punchline ... you're gonna have to do better.

Me : Goddammit, am I the only who never heard this joke before

Her : yeah pretty much.

Her : Girls prefer a more direct approach, you gotta go straight to the point.

Me : I have to google better pickup lines then.

she laughs, says see ya then continues walking.

And that was that.

I feel like I could have handled getting called out like that differently but whatever.

Also what exactly is the next step after number closing? Setup a date?

Sorry for my ramblings though just felt like I needed to type this.
