I FUCKING DID IT. Writing this about 10 minutes after this happened and holy shit I'm still shaking from the adrenaline rush.

I went to the gym this morning with the intention of talking to the girl I mentioned yesterday. She wasn't there and there were no other attractive girls that came in the entire time. A little discouraged, I decided to go to Safeway cause I needed some snacks for the UFC fight tonight but mainly wanted to approach a girl. I got all my stuff and did a final lap around Safeway to see If there were any hot people of the XX variety and there she was. HB(8) In the skincare aisle looking at moisturizers. For context, I have my skincare down and know what i'm looking at but I went up to her and played dumb. Here's how it went:

Me: "Hey this is totally random but I was thinking of getting a moisturizer but honestly have no idea what I'm looking at, I was wondering if you had any recommendations for a guy?"

Her: "Yeah! I'm actually the perfect person to ask, I love this stuff"

Me: (Adrenaline through the roof)

Her: "Your skin is pretty nice already so I think you could go with something basic"

Me: "Wow thank you" -said this kinda awkwardly but could have been worse-

Her: Named four moisturizers and I was blacking out at this point lmao

Me: "Okay, no pressure but I'm gonna let you pick one and whatever you go with I'll buy"

Her: "Wow that's a lot of pressure!"

Me: "I have no idea what I'm looking at so there's no way I can judge your decision haha" (again a little embellishment)

Her: Recommended one

Me: "Awesome thanks, hey what's you name btw?"

Exchanged names and I started to walk away cause I was super nervous at this point then turned around and said "Hey do you have an Instagram or something" (again pretty sloppy)

Her *I shit you not* "Oh well let me just give you my number"

BOOM GENTLEMAN

Got her number and it only cost me 17.50 for a moisturizer I didn't need xD

I just had one of the biggest realizations of my life today. I always told myself that doing pickup wouldn't work for a 21-year-old guy. That I was too young or it's weird to do this in a closed system like college. I finally fucking proved to myself that this shit works.

Thank you all so much for the support on the last post, the gravy train is gonna keep going tomorrow and I will again have an update. <3

Edit:

Forgot to mention I went into Safeway without my phone (rookie move I know). So she took down my number. Just recently texted me asking for my snap and the rest is history :))))
