Ok guys fairly new to cold approach, and It was quite a big night so this is gonna be a long one but helpful feedback would be appreciated. The following took place in a nightgame context. I was riding solo, no wing, no pre-selection, i didn't drink.

Set #1

Girl opened me by asking me for a lighter, i laughed and said normally I'd carry one as an icebreaker but these days i just ask to meet people (direct). We had a kind of fun interaction, but I tried to escalate when the attention of the conversation was brought to her fur coat, but she rejected the advance by saying 'don't touch'. I then ejected from the set. (Not taking it personally she was a little weird, maybe wasn't down for meeting a sexual partner that night but a good warm up)

Set #2

There was a girl sitting at a single table by herself on her phone, i opened with 'you look lonely' she said 'im just waiting for my friend'. We proceeded to have a chat about the city we're in, what she's studying and so forth (no real chemistry happening tho, maybe i could have been more physical and made more eye contact, was a little nervous under pressure) her friend came back i opened the friend and said i'd leave them to it and tried to number close, she politely declined, i wished them a good night and ejected. (Maybe could have re-approached later? I've made a herd rule after last night to re-approach and play around with this concept. Let me know what you guys think)

Set #3

I opened with the standard John Anthony opener 'can i meet you real quick' this conversation was kind of plutonic, but I did manage to be somewhat physical with the opener (hand on the back) I opened her cuter friend, i found out they were both from Thailand and we chatted for a bit but no chemistry and it felt like I was carrying the interaction and getting one word answers. I eventually wished them a good night and ejected. (Should i have tried to number close? I think the first interaction stopped my number closing momentum for the night and i was too scared to ask :p but thinking about it rationally it wouldn't have hurt to ask and she might have said yes who knows.)

Set #4

seated double set

I opened with the John Anthony 'can i meet you real quick?' I told her my name, she playfully said that she had the same name as me what a coincidence, her friend jumped on the joke saying that she also had my name. After joking around for a bit the friend of the girl I opened asked me for my intentions, i said i thought your friend was cute i wanted to meet her, she insisted they were lesbians. I said look im pretty laid back i'm cool i just want to meet her friend. (Turns out they were actually lesbians tho, i found out later after running into them outside the venue) but eventually they said the were going to go dance, and the interaction ended (when girls say im going to go dance, im in a place where i don't follow because it feels needy but let me know what u guys think.)

Set #5

Quick one, i was leaning against a wall, a girl was walking past in a bright red dress (maybe she was peacocking?) I stopped her, she looked supprised, i said 'i didn't mean to startle you, but that's a really cute dress' she said 'thank you' then i panicked and ejected 🤣 (I'm still new at this don't judge haha. I probably could have transitioned and asked what are you up to tonight, where are you from? Opened her friend but i was too panicked in that moment.)

Set #6

I decided to walk home and get some McDonald's on the way, a cute girl and her let's say nutritionally undisciplined friend walked in, as they lined up to order i opened the cute girl with 'did you guys just come from a night out?' Well they ended up ordering their food and sitting with me at my table, and we had a good interaction, we exchanged facebooks, she was asking me questions and happy to carry some of the interaction, i made more eye contact and felt more calm. (Really good to end the night on a high note but still a lot to work on)

Things to work on: *eye contact *physicality *showing intent *approach more mixed sets *approach bigger groups *stay in set and don't eject!!

Thanks for reading I warmly welcome any feedback 😁
