Describe your biggest blowout yet!

My worst blowouts are always when I'm at the bar and I just finished my 4th or 5th Long Island Ice tea (I really need to stop it with those, but on thursdays they are only $3!). I start to stumble, I slurr my words and I can barely get out a coherent thought much less any thing that resembles "game".

Anyway, I vaguely remember this one night I saw a group of cute girls and decided that I'm going to go talk to them. I immediately interrupted their conversation with "Hi....I'm philosarapter, we should totally go on a date." she smiled sheepishly and was receptive until I continued, "I'm the type of guy who will buy you flowers and I can write poetry for you and give you massages and bake you cookies. I'm really good at making cookies... this one time .. [hic].. I baked a cookie soooo big I couldn't hold it! I bet you never baked a cookie that big" she was definitely weirded out as I continued to list all the things I would do for her, not even getting her name first, her friends gave her this look like "uh whose this creep?" so I instead decided to focus my attention on the most weirded out friend by saying, "You know.... [hic]... me and you would be so good together. I really like girls who look like they're pissed off all the time... reminds me of my mother..." and rambled on and on, trapping them in a conversation with a beligerently drunk guy.

This continued for some time, and eventually they all got up and left the table to me. At which point I just kinda waved my friends over to signal we got a table, but the next day I horrored in the embarassment.

Ah college. I still see those girls from time to time, they are pretty friendly but love quoting lines and making fun of how drunk I was ("How big was that cookie, again!? BAHAHAHA").

Disclaimer: This happened when I was about 17 years old and knew next to nothing about influence, persuasion or seduction.

I had a crush on this girl who was in my class. I was completely infatuated with her. But, i couldn't muster the strength to approach her. Needless to say i was low on confidence and nervous around girls or group of people. So, after a few weeks of just ogling her I decided that enough was enough and I will settle this for good and go talk to her. Unfortunately, I didn't put much thought into what exactly I was going to say.

So I surreptitiously followed her to her place in my car after the class. When we neared her residence I parked my car, went up to her just outside her house door and said "Hi! We are in the same class. Would you like to be friends with me?" I noticed the biggest WTF expression on her face as she raised her eye brows and proceeded to leave without answering my question. Even worse, I saw her father inside the house and he might have heard a part of the conversation.

When I got back I felt like the biggest Idiot on Planet Earth, and couldn't believe what got inside me for me to have acted the way I did. Thankfully, a lot has changed over the years, but whenever I am reminded of that incident, it still gives me the creeps :)

I've said it here before, but I think your game can be improved a lot by not framing things in terms of blowouts, or even success/failure. Being truly outcome independent is hard but it will make you much more relaxed and confident in social settings.

I don't get blown out, I just talk to lots of people and have interesting conversations. Sometimes those conversations are with women who end up not being interested in me, or vice versa. Sometimes they lead to awesome relationships. Either way I succeeded because my goal is to just have fun and meet interesting people.

Well, in 2nd grade my little brother told the "love of my life" that i had a crush on her. i was "walking laps" at the time, which means you walk in circles around the playground blacktop as punishment for talking too much in class. i could do nothing as i saw her run past me, sobbing hysterically, and hide behind a tree.

as a freshman in college, one time i was really drunk and although i don't remember this, my friend recounted it to me later. apparently i tried (key word, tried) to flirt with the girl behind the counter at a sandwich place and she flat out told me, "you are in NO state to be trying to hit on me..."

the next day i realized i had left my wallet there, and had to go back to get it. the same girl was working.

Admittidly this isn't really game and it was before I had heard of the game... AND I wasn't actually trying to pick this girl up but I failed nonetheless.

After a break up of an LTR my friends quite rightly took me out to get me back into the game. I wasn't ready and it showed: the few people I opened either became friends or were just not interested at all. My buddy told me that he would buy me a drink if I went up to this girl and said "Sex and a pizza?" so I drunkenly obliged. She obviously replied "ummm... NO." with a look of confused anger on her face and I said "Whats the matter? Don't you like pizza?" and walked away like a boss. I think I would have had a better chance if she wasn't being hit on by an even worse AFC than me.

A friend of mine was hitting on a girl, she was pretty receptive to him. However, her friend (ugly), was left out of the conversation. Being a good wing, I sit down next to the friend (the ugly one), and chat her up a bit. At one point, conversation starts to get dull. I see my friend take his girl to the bathroom, obviously for a quick fuck. In order for the ugly one to not see my friend and his girl go into the bathroom, I distract her and say "I'm being a good wingman." Confused, she asks "What?". I say "Yeah, I'm being a good wingman. I'm distracting you while my friend took your friend to the bathroom." She takes a bowl of popcorn from the bar, throws in at me, popcorn goes flying everywhere. It hits my drink and it spills all over me. Girl walks out of bar while I laugh my ass off.

Worst thing that happened to me during pickup, at least in a one-time approach, was featured in a FR I posted like, 8 months ago. Specifically the "No Fun Zone" part of it. Which, coincidentally, is a good way to get around really bad blow outs. Sometimes you can tease them for being a stick in the mud and they may come out of it. Then again, it could turn them into a deathpool of quicksand, but no worries.

Worst long term thing was this girl I thought was ridiculously hot and played it too safe with. I ended up becoming her girlfriend that she talked to and kind of directed around far more than I should've allowed. This was one of my first girls I got involved with when I got into Pickup, and had only heard of it second-hand through my good friend. Even now, I cringe at how AFC I was, even after being aware of what that acronym meant (if somewhat superficially).

Worst Pre-PUA: Year-long failed pickup in highschool where the girl kept me on hte line in case there were no other guys interested in her (she was very insecure). She even dated one of my best friends and it nearly destroyed the friendship. Looking back, I am entirely ashamed of this time of my life, and it even makes my friends cringe. Hopefully my metacognitive abilities are developed enough now to be aware of such a stupid circumstance again...

My mind seems to refuse transcribing "rejections" into my mind. When I think back I can only picture the wonderful conversations and experiences.

Although in one funny instance I tried to stop a girl during daygame with a light pat on the shoulder, and she glared at me and asked "why are you touching me!?" :-)

At a very popular club in Georgetown. I went to talk to this gorgeously hot girl who hands down a 10. I ask her if she was an Au Pair - lots go to this place. I get chattting with her asking where she is from blah blah. At some point I ask her a question and she just says whatever and walks off.
