Hello, This will be my first Field Report on seddit, so any criticism is appreciated as long as it is positive.

Background: I have just gotten into this lifestyle, but it has already been taken to greatly. Mostly been working on inner game, along with my confidence. Gym has helped a lot. I have been worrying about AA, and what to say inbetween, I still am kind of nervous about just going blank. Anyways, here is my first FR of my first cold approach, any positive feedback is greatly appreciated!

I just had a nice dinner out with my friends and family, at a decent venue. When dinner was finished, they all left, but I had stayed behind to walk around and admire the view and quiet. Walking down the street, I had made eye contact and smiled at a HB7, but didn’t have the gall to stop her or say anything. Kicking myself, I kept walking until I decided to walk back. On my way back I saw the same HB7 sitting down by herself on her phone. Now mind you, it was well-lit, but still dark and it was just myself and her in this place. A few stragglers making there way to their car, but that was it. I stopped a good 30 feet before her, telling myself I have got to go talk to her, but I kept psyching myself out. After about a minute of argument in my head, I decided “Fuck It”.

I walked up to her, smiled and sat down next to her, opening:

Me: “You are absolutely adorable, I have to talk to you. My name is Risk, nice to meet you”

L: (Lets just call her L) “Oh thank you (smiles), I’m L. Same to you.”

Me: (Only being comfortable with openers I kind of just went with it..)

"How come you are here all by yourself, it is pretty late"

I felt I had good eye contact and good body language. As was hers, she was pretty open. Smiled a lot.

L: “Oh, I work at ****. I just got off”

More chit chat ensues (about 10 minutes of conversation), I get a flirty vibe, neg her about her fashion and working at a fashion store. Overall went very well, my close was pretty shaky, but since this was my first time, I feel I did well.

Me: So, here is the deal. (pulled out my phone, already had an empty contact open. Hands her my phone) You are going to give me your number, and We are going to go on a date this weekend”

L: “Oh really now? (Giggles, as she puts her number in) Okay, Sounds good.”

This is where I got shaky, and didn’t know what to do really. I kinda just said, “Well, I have to go, I will see you this weekend!”

Her reaction was kind of caught off guard that I was leaving, I probably should of stayed and tried to do something that night, or along those lines.

Overall, I feel this was a good first step in getting over AA, and a good start in general. I feel I had a confident approach, maintained eye contact pretty well. And spoke with confidence.

Moral of the story: It doesn’t take much, all the bitch butterflies are in your head. It just requires that extra step. I feel it will definitely be a lot easier to approach now.

Like I said before, this is my first time posting here, I would love to hear any advice whatsoever on anything I could of done better (I know there is a lot). But overall, I am content with it.
