Hi all,

Just for context, I've recently broke up with my gf of almost 10 years so I'm rusty. I've reread the game as all newbies should and decided this time I'm gonna get in for good.

So after reading material like always I decided to start practicing. I happen to be in Barcelona where April 23rd is a festivity in which lots of books and roses are sold. This means lots of street parades with hotties trying to sell you roses.

I decided to do something about my rejection fear and daytime sarging fear so I got out of work at around 8pm and start heading home. Got near a couple of parades but my micro-avoidance issues got the best of me. After passing the third with a hottie without doing anything I decided to go back and try.

It was a nice girl in a parade, but when I got there she had another girl selling with her. I decided to go cocky funny since honestly it is the only thing I do half decent.

  • How much for a rose?
  • 3
  • And for 2?
  • 6
  • this is not how business go. Plus it's 8pm and you got plenty of roses left...

She bite the hook, harder than I expected. I teased a lot, pulled arguments from the top of my head

  • barça is playing
  • oh yeah? Against who?

I doubted so they got me, but I was already in. She told me she was into motorcycles (marquez and shit) and I told her that I have a big one (I am not sure if I messed up qualifying myself here). Then I kept teasing until they asked for my help so I took off my suit jacket and put it on the target, telling her it was the only way to increase sales.

I have to say that from here on I was a little clueless, trying to sell roses, going back to c&f from time to time, teasing also the friend (who was a solid 2.5) and sometimes feeling I was losing her interest. She asked me where I work, where I live, etc. I answered some questions, teased on others. Had a window of opportunity at some point but I didn't have the balls. Some other girl friend presented and she was clearly not into my shit, target's mother (I won her by some more c&f)

I ended up buying them three roses and a bouquet, all heavily discounted.

Just after they gave me the roses I went full AFC and gave each of them a rose, saying that I only wanted one. I left with the bouquet which I gave to my father's wife.

Overall I feel it was not that bad fpr being my first approach on years, but I need to imprpve dramatically.

I know they are clear holes in my game but I am unable to identify them. Can I get some constructive criticism?

Thank you very much
