I'm back approaching. Just hit about 120 approaches so far. Ramble is getting better.
I had to meet a quota of 5 approaches this week; otherwise I'm supposed to buy Octavian drinks.

We have a "goals" and "accountabilities" thing going for each other. Maybe more on that later or another thread.
I had only done about 2 approaches earlier in the week so needed to do 3 more. I got lazy and Friday came around all of a sudden. Ran into an 8 am meeting rushing so didn't approach in the morning. Was cold calling all day on the phones so didn't approach during the day. I couldn't let Octavian down nor myself. Plus I'm watching my 3 kids (exhausting) this weekend so can't do them then either.
Hence, got done with work at 5 pm and went out there in the cold on the street. Had a couple beers in me (3 pm is Beer Fridays at work) and still couldn't open on the street. Anxiety kicking my ass. Plus I got rejected with a "creep" look earlier in the week. Anyways, I wasn't giving up. Kept walking all the way up to the Chicago "Bean." Great place in Chicago to meet foreign and out of state girls btw. Tried and true by yours truly as you'll see.
Walking over, I opened a blonde 6 hanging around. A warm up if you will. Beer buzz had all but escaped, Didn't go for the number as I was hoping for cuter girls there asking her where the bean was (while I know damn well where it is).
I then got to the bean, hung around and...
#1 (Blonde 6.5, older but in decent shape. Maybe even a 7 due to cute face)
Me: (Looking at the shiny Bean like a tourist, acting like I'm taking pictures and shit see a cute mid-20s to early 30s blonde right to my left; look over to her and smile)
Hey do you know what the significance of this thing is?
Her: No idea; I don't know (southern accent)
Me: I notice an accent (my go to line) ... Let me guess.. you're from Mississippi..
Her: (Smiles) no... Georgia..(her ugly ass friend, a 4 walks over)
Me: Well, you know I don't even really care about this thing, I just started talking to you because you were cute (before I could get cockblocked by the friend).
Her: (smiles at my comment; friend walks over)
Me: Hi, I'm blah blah..(smile at her friend..have small talk) Let me guess, you two are sisters? (no way that genetic mishap would have happened)
Her: No we're friends...blah blah..
Me: Well, I'm around so give me your number ... (to her friend, smiling) .. I didn't care about the Bean, I just thought your friend was attractive.
Friend: we need to be at xxxx in 5 minutes (the cockblock)
Her: I would (smiling) but I'm married... If I weren't though...
Me: (talked some more)Ok, nice meeting you anyways, have a nice time.
Maybe I should have pushed through this like a BF rejection. Just wasn't expecting it.
#2 (Blonde 6.5 with her Blonde 7 friend)
I keep walking, see a couple chicks make a little eye contact. Don't open. Beat myself up in the head. Then walk into a Walgreens.
Me: (As I walk up, the 6.5 is closer and seems more receptive) Hey, do you guys know where Michigan ave is?
Her: Oh yeah, so you walk this way and this way... (hand gestures)..
Me: (I make fun of her using "corn on the cob" to describe a building; build rapport by asking them how they no each other etc)
Her: Are you taking a cab?
Me: No it's not too cold.
Where I'm from is much colder anyways.
Her: Oh where are you from?
Me: Well, guess...
Her: East coast...blah blah...blah..
Me: blah .. blah.. Anyways I'm gonna go but how can I get a hold of you?
Her: Sorry I don't give out my contact information?
Me: Well have a good night.
Might have worked if her friend wasn't there. It's tough with 2 sets. I don't know why I do it. Maybe cuz it's tough..
#3 (Girl standing outside the Walgreens; cute 7.5 brunette)
Me: Hi, do you know where the H&M is ?
Her: (smiling; I think she knew what was up) It's that way.
Me: Well, maybe you can help me..I'm looking for slim fit pants.. do you like those on guys?
Her: Well it depends on the guy?
Me: Oh come on .. I'm asking for your opinion.. (smiling)
Her: (smiling) Ok, I gotta go.. My uber is here..
Me: (uhhhh) Ok, bye...
Uber can wait. Should have gone for the number. Octavian let me count this as an approach.
Kind of happy I did 3 approaches; still not satisfied. Plus I felt like Octavian gave me a freebie with the Uber chick.
#4 (Cute black hostess at a bar/restaurant)
Me: (Walking by seeing her, I stand outside and contemplate, then say fuck it and walk in to the counter) I don't need a table;I just saw you and I just had to say hi.
Her: (smiling) Well, hi...
Me: I know you're at work, but I want to get a hold of you.
Her: (Smiles) You want my number?
Me: (Smiling) Don't make it that easy.. (wtf) Whipping out my phone and fiddling..
Her: How about I write it down for you?
Me: Wow, you are making this easier..
Her: (writes down number on a guest check)
Me: I'll text you okay (walking away)
Her: Wait, what's your name...
Me: I'm Cobra, you
Her: (smiles) It's on the paper... Shailyn..
Me: I'll text you later okay.. (leave)
Best one of all was above. Never stop trying players. Above girl was a skinny 7 with a nosering. Up my alley.
Guess I could have done one more but decided to post about the other ones before my train comes instead.

Wait.. Just got in the train and sat behind a redhead...
Stay tuned.. And please, suggestions and comments are welcome..
