Find /r/seduction on Sunday. Read top posts. It seems I'm a fucking chump. Fuck. Read blog posts and material until Wednesday. "Okay, can't fucking sit around forever."

Go to sports store, need to buy tent for festival trip. Hot sales clerk (HB8). "Shit, she's hot, I probably wouldn't dare to say 'hi' to her in a club."

Say hi to her.

She smiles.

"So, tell me what you know about tents."

Luckily I smile when I say it, and keep eye contact, so she laughs.

She shows me some tents while I keep talking shit I have no idea where is coming from, but for some reason she keeps laughing. Probably because I'm smiling, I don't fucking know.

Realise I haven't looked her in the eyes in like forever. "Fuck, get your shit together."

Look her in the eyes. She looks back. My brain is screaming at me to look the fuck away but I tell it to go fuck itself and let her look away first.

Finally pick out a tent. She calls over some other dude because she doesn't know shit about tents. "Fuck, she's probably going to leave." Start getting nervy.

Dude's a total bro. I give him a huge smile, and he explains that the tent she picked out sucks, so I tease her about it and he laughs. I fucking love this guy.

Dude finds a good tent, I pay for it and as I'm about to leave I tell the sales clerk that she should give me her number. Heart's in my fucking throat. Dude looks impressed.

She smiles and says: "Sure!"

Dude's grinning like the fucking Cheshire Cat.

Sales clerk writes her number on a piece of paper, hands it over and says "You're funny."

"Yeah, I get that all the time." Shit, how did I think of that? Don't worry about it, just go.

She laughs and I walk out all smooth-like with the biggest smirk on my face.

I love this place. Thank you.
