I know there's been topics like this before, but you can never have too many reminders.

You should always be ready to pick up a girl, in any social setting.

When you see a bangable girl, you should have a list of intelligent things to say in your head, even if you don't plan on saying them, like a chess master, always two moves ahead. Tonight's tragedy is embarrassing to write-up, but it must be done for the sake of driving home my point:

I was following the scores in a couple games I had action on, and let the time get away from me, next thing I knew it was quarter to midnight. We're expected to get blasted with more snow here (yet again) tomorrow morning, so I forced myself to go out and get gas in my car, milk and a couple groceries. Needless to say, my mindset was only on getting back home, grabbing a snack and going to bed.

As I was finishing up I saw a cute girl wandering through the liquor aisle, not unusual on a Friday night, but it's Tuesday... I was thinking of opening with, "Kinda late to be drinking on a school night." but I thought that sounded lame, PLUS I was really too tired to talk to anyone anyway. Well, I didn't have a choice because she opened me.

"Which of these liquors would be good for someone that just turned 21?
Me: "All of them."
Her: <laughs> "Well I just turned 21, 5 minutes ago!"
<And here we unravel>
Me: "I can't remember what I was drinking at 21, probably vodka."
<Ya, way to make yourself sound like a creepy old man>
Me: "I wouldn't do that though."
Her: <politely>"Ya, I don't think that would work, any other ideas?"
Me: "Heh, I'd probably have friends taking me out right now."
<Ya know, make her really feel like crap here, real smart>
Her: <still polite for unknown reasons>"Ya, that's coming up this weekend. I just thought I should commemorate turning 21 now."
Me: "Ya, you definitely should, um... maybe try whiskey."
<Ya know, because my indecisiveness has to be turning you on, not to mention girls just "love" whiskey, ugh>
and there was a little more meaningless banter, before I walked away thinking, what a fucking idiot I am.

Here was a golden opportunity, just laid out in front of me, and I was too sleepy, and too legitimately aloof to capitalize.

Ugh... I immediately wanted a do-over, thinking how I'd have nailed this perfect if I were in "game mode"

The initial response was fine, but the rest was pathetic. I instantly thought, why didn't I enthusiastically wish her a happy birthday, then just grab something... malibu, pucker, buttershots, or better yet tequila and just put it in her hand. Then said something about you shouldn't be having your first legal drink alone. Boom, so easy.

Instead in the back of my mind I was thinking of bed, if she had a boyfriend (who cares), and how crappy my car looks right now thanks to this winter. How amateur. I saw her walking to her car as I was exiting the parking lot, she was alone... I am an idiot.

Lesson re-learned, I'll never find myself caught off guard in a late night non-bar/party setting again. Fortunately there'll be other girls, unfortunately, as tired as I was, now my mind is working overdrive and I'm in game mode. Cruel joke.

The best way to get ready is to be ready.

Damn that's like out of an episode of Californication.

Complete lay-up, just needed the tip in.

Learn from it and keep moving.

If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready.

Just the other day at the gym, i was in the scale after training, thinking about leaving and eating and taking a nap, when this new chick comes in and says:
"that scale is broken..."
I interrupted: "WHAT!? EVERYTHING´S BROKEN HERE!?" to the manager: "HEY GET THIS SCALE FIXED OR IM NOT PAYING YOU ANYMORE"
and she finishes the sentence staring at the floor: "...because it adds 4 pounds"

she leaves still looking at the floor, and the manager is looking at me with a "you stupid shit" look in his face...

This kind of shit has happened to me so many times that I made up a rule for myself:

"When I step out of my house, I am ready to talk to women."

I follow this rule 90% of the time. I comb my hair, brush my teeth, put on decent clothes and prepare my mind to engage and interact with women.

I have lost a lot of pussy by leaving my house in sandals, shorts, a sweatshirt, and an anti-social attitude. That's a stupid move if you want to get laid.

Yep, yep and yep. I've said the "If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready" thing tons of times. Keep this in mind to those that don't practice it.

As far as attire, I was in a hoody and jeans, but that's never stopped me before, it was more a fatigue/wrong mind-set issue, IMO. The lay-up thing is so true... of course, it's possible she wouldn't have bit, but odds were in my favor.

No worries, as Christian said good lesson, and probably good timing for it with Spring right around the corner.

Truthfully, you can even forget about the sandals, shorts and sweatshirt--if you have the right attitude, everything else can be overcome with relative ease.

I think it's a mindset thing...

I'm like a dormant "social maniac" capable of shifting gears in an instants notice. That said, when situations like this arise I always pause and look for a moment taking it all it with a devilish smirk because she has NO IDEA who she came up too. One of the best examples was a chick who woke me up on the train saying "come on lets go...I'm buying you sushi". I was like "WTF!?!?" (I was blackedout on train, 9am)

Then I stopped her, had the smirk of "wow this chick knows how to pick em!!!" and had her break it down to me as to how all this happened. Then BAM were eating, were in a library, she's talking about how I should go to florida with her TODAY. (She was serious, she's a drifter)

P.S...I like playing that "sleeper cell" demeanor despite it being obvious that I look like a guy who has a good time.

I think having a witty persona is key in being an attractive person, it's fucking boss. Ultimate shit test antidote + good humour.

Regarding the fact that you glitched out and felt like and idiot as well.. You learned a lesson.

I used to be happy with just getting the interaction, because my narcissism used to get a sinister buzz off that. Insecurity.. Now look at the flipside- confidence. Proudly, I instilled a wicked sense of confidence in myself and a belief that 'every woman wants to be taken'. Once you start implementing this, you will be on it 24/7 with a little radar in your head for all the hotties. Every woman wants to be taken and you desire them.

There was a direct vs indirect day game post recently. I refrained as it got pretty technical however, I'll just say it doesn't matter. I used to make a distinction but its stupid. You just become an attractive person and you notice opportunities to meet people and ways to get laid I suppose. You make it seem scripted without even meaning to. Every hot woman I see, I speak to her with one thing in mind. It's natural, if you are attracted.

haha! This has happened to every one. You were in your comfy sleepy comfort zone and didn't want to. Your discussion seemed pretty wicked but she seemed super keen. Be opportunistic man.

Most of my lays have come from strange unconventional situations like this but I managed to be aware enough to pick up on it. Textbook stuff works but women nowadays 'don't wanna be textbook', ha.
