Memorial Day Weekend

I had an overall great weekend. I have found a new wingman, I had two Day2s, and had general great time.

My new wingman - Blaise. I got an email last week from MASF regarding a wingman request. I have gotten these before and they have turned out to be guys who are really not into the social arts. Blaise is a cool guy, he reminds of Common, same time type of dress and style. His social background is kind of like mind, just feed up with being knowing there is a better way of dating than just being a nice guy. We worked on body language and openers. It was great experience for me to watch someone I knew work, while we primarily focused on him this weekend, I learn a lot about my behavior and sticking points. So this was not a bad find.

Day2 - BUruguay
This turned into a shopping date which was cool, because she help me pick out some cool jeans and shirts. We had this flirty push-pull banter going on the whole time. We never got into 'comfort' or in a serious mode. It started right off the back joking with each. There was tons of kino, kisses, and hugs. We ended with an makeout session at her place, but nothing more. I sure I drop the ball somewhere. I know that I waited way too late to push up the escalation ladder, I think this is the reason for just the makeout session.

Day2 - HBPolitico
This was a dinner date. It started off with some good kino, a big hug and a peck on the lips. During dinner, great conversation, mostly politics which was good because we were sharing each other experiences and exchange advice; it was bad in the sense that it created too much camaraderie and I really wasn't running on any type of routine or creating hoops. What else that was interesting was that I did not get the - So do you have a girlfriend? After dinner, we were walking back to the metro (I metro there, she lived nearby) holding hands and stop in front of a gallery and were talking about the art we saw; this was pretty much the only awkward moment; I definitely missed something there, what? I don't know. When we got to the metro, we sat on a bench, because my wait was about 15 minutes, I ran the cube on her then kiss closed her.

First Flake = 2 Dates

So the reason I am writing so much tonight is because a girl I met last weekend HBPolitico flaked on me tonight. I might be over analyzing.

HBPolitico: Hey Sniper.
Sniper: What's up?
HBPolitico: I can make it tonight.
Sniper: I'm sorry to hear that. You know... (trying to go on the breaking date speech)
HBPolitico: (interrupting) I could make it out later around 10 or so. Is that to late?
Sniper: Yes. You know... (trying to go on the breaking date speech)
HBPolitico: How about I make it up to you on Sunday?
Sniper: Um, It's Memorial Day weekend. I'll have to check.
HBPolitico: How about I call you tomorrow and we make plans?
Sniper: Ok.
HBPolitico: Ok, talk to you tomorrow. Bye.
Sniper: Bye.

Ok, she tried to make plans for later and she offered another date. But she stilled flaked.

A few minutes later... BUruguay called. I sarged her in the elevator last summer, we've kept in contact, nothing too serious, just a couple of makeouts. I ran into on Monday and teased her for only calling when she wants to makeout.

BUruguay: Hey Sniper.
Sniper: Hey There.
BUruguay: What are you doing Sunday?
Sniper: Um, It's Memorial Day weekend.
BUruguay: Yeah, I know. Some friends of mine are having a party. I wanted to know if you wanted to come.
Sniper: Sure.
BUruguay: Great. I'll call you around 1 on Sunday. Cool?
Sniper: Sure.
BUruguay: Talk to you on Sunday. Bye.
Sniper: Bye.

I will now pay homage to the PUA gods.

My Free Implants

I stumble across this tonight: My Free Implants. First of all, what a great idea. I really can't be mad at someone who gets someone else to pay for something they want. I really can't, I think it's genius.

But....

What kills me is that the site directly geared towards guys to pay for some girl they don't know boob job. And by the way, you should not pay for someone you do know boob job unless it's one of your buddies and he is going to pull a Brian Zembic.

Great idea for girls, bad idea for guys to pay for it.

The Classic

Yesterday, I left a meeting in Dupont. I was walking back to my car not thinking of anything in a particular. Ahead of me was a gorgeous blond and I stop her.

Sniper: Hello. I'm sniper.
SHBBlond: Hi.
Sniper: I'm having drinks with some friends tonight at Gazuza. You should come join us. Here's my card, give me a call if you would like to join us.
SHBBlond: Thank you.

I walked away and she continued on her path. I smiled to myself and then I felt heat on my forehead and felt the sweat bead begin to form and the shear chill going from the top of my head all the way down my back. It's that feeling that you get when you have been studying for a test and you are so sure you aced it and then you realize that you did everything wrong. At that point, I broke out into laughter.

I basically did what every girl I have known has told me to do - Just introduce yourself and ask her out.

I do have to say I did not miss a beat, it was something that you would see in a movie. Picture perfect, no approach anxiety, no voice in my head, no quivering voice, perfect body language, perfect tone of voice, and complete AFC BS coming out of my mouth. I was on autopilot, just the wrong stuff came out of my mouth.

And we all know the answer to the $25,000 question: Did she call?

Of course not.

Hahahaha....

Pickupedia

I stumble across this. It from Nerve.Com. They have Pickupedia filled with pick-up lines.

My favorite so far is:

Impromptu Day 2

Yesterday was beautiful here in DC. I was hoping to get out, but I was working on a proposal for this week. I got a call from HBHatian, I meet her Saturday night at Chroma, she looked much better on Sunday than on Saturday night so I upgraded her from a B to a HB (hahaha).

HBHatian: Hey Sniper. What's up? We had blast last night.
Sniper: A little recovering and a little working, just trying to be prepare for the week.
HBHatian: I'm meeting some friends at Sequoia's, you should come down.
Sniper: Sounds good. I thinking around I should be ready around 4.
HBHatian: Cool. See you down there.

I went along my day not thinking much about it; got ready and headed down there. When I first arrived I headed to the bar on the patio and called her; she wave me over to her. I headed to her table. There were four guys and two other girls. I greeted HBHatian with hug and a kiss on the cheek during the release I ran a squeeze test on her hand and she sqeezed back. Then I did something I thought was weird, instead of sitting down I walked around the table and introduced myself to everyone. As tempting as it was to naturally lean down I stood straight up and extended my hand, interesting enough people stood up and shook my hand. When I sat down I opened with how did everyone know each other. HBHatian was friends with the two girls (BSunny & HBTiffany) and two of the guys, the two guys were friends of one of HBHatian's guy friends. Then we basically broke down into basic fluff chat ... great day to be out, basketball playoffs, random stuff, and people watching. It was actually nice.

After about 45 minutes of general fluff chat. I realized I was not prepared for this day 2. I asked HBHatian if she wanted to play Marry, Kill, or Shag. We started and were laughing. BSunny asked what we were doing when we told her she wanted to join in, so we let her. The two random guys left and went to hang out at the bar. (???)

After playing Marry, Kill, or Shag. HBHatian and I were in I guess comfort. Just chatting and flirting nothing too heavy, but lots of kino ... touching each other as we talked, pushing each other away as we joke with each other. Around 6:30, we close the tab. I walked her and her girlfriends back to their car holding her hand just chatting and we ended with a nice little kiss.

So I had a great time yesterday. I almost felt natural. I do think I need to come up with a Day 2 plan, a couple of stories, games, and dhvs. I think I got lucky for reason I just on the right wavelength

Anyway for the guys that live in DC, this was the first time in a long time that I saw numerous 10s, like most places you may see 4 or 5 during the night but last Sunday on the G'Town waterfront, they were all over.

This is Stupid

Last night I sent an email to my 20 friends (10 girls & 10 guys) asking them if they wanted to join me in my night game. Basically, it a list of 10 things to do design to make me more social and to approach more. Every girl responded yes.

Here are some responses from guys:
- This is stupid.
- I'm not doing that.
- You're an idiot.
- What are you talking about?
- That's gay.

I hit Chroma, Citron, Lucky Bar, Mie-n-Yue, and Blue Gin.

The guys I was hanging with were not playing and standing around and drinking so I pretty much ditch them and went on my own to complete the tasks.

Five hours later, I completed 9 of the task. I opened 15 sets, got 3 emails, 7 phone numbers. We all met a Blue Gin at 2am to check-in and show pictures (proof) that we completed our tasks. Kittycat won because she completed all ten task and got two different guys to buy her a bottle of champagne each.

So here's the deal. I had a blast. The girls had a blast. So was it stupid? I don't think so.

My Big Mouth

This started last night and I have been on a roll.

Former Boss: Congratulations. I hope we can work together in the future.
Sniper: I don't think so.
(This guy put me in the poor house while helping promote girls he was trying to impress)

While standing waiting for the train:
HB: (Huffs) Can you move?
Sniper: Yep. (But I didn't move because I would have ended up on the train tracks)

Leaving the gym
Beggar: (Who I saw walk then open a wheelchair and sit down) Can you help me out?
Sniper: Nope.

Text message
HBSharon: How come you don't call me?
Sniper: What would you like me to call you?

Going to a meeting
Hotel Clerk: (After I waited a minute while he tried to pick a woman) Um, Sir, Can I help you with something?
Sniper: You had your chance.

Lunch
Waitress: Glad to see you made it. You were keep us waiting.
Sniper: I was fixing my hair. (I shave my hair bald)

Phone call
The One: I free on Thursday for dinner.

This Stuff Works

I am taking a moment to write while on the road. The past 16 days have been extremely busy, stressful, and fun. Two weeks ago, while I was in DC, I hosted a fundraiser that went extremely well, it also kicked me into gear because while I knew the majority of the people, there was still quite a few I did not, I had no choice to introduce myself and introduce them some of the guests and speakers. I had a blast. I left that night on a high, only to get home and find a letter from the IRS, which was gonna cost me a ton of money. I called my accountants and lawyer to find out what was going on and basically, my lawyer ‘forgot’ to file a simple piece of paperwork. FIRED!!! Immediately after I let him go, I pretty much realized that this firm was pretty much connected to every part of my work world. Oh, well??

The following day, I plowed through my work out, my work schedule, and went out and had a blast. I was so tempted to drink, but I didn’t, I’m glad I didn’t because I spent the next day putting out fires over tiniest things, but also because I was just plowing through approaches that night. I used the same opener (jealous girlfriend) again and again a sets to just opened up. Granted I blotched a few, because I was just surprised and thinking too much in my head, but it was a great learning experience. I spent that weekend in Phoenix and Chicago working and going out. I do know if I was being rude, but the guys I was out with were being lame just standing around so I just created my own adventures. I just kept approaching I made a lot of ‘bar’ friends and met couple of people that I would hang out with if I make it back that way. That weekend really instilled in me that all of this works even when I not completely in the mood. I finally came up with my own opener that has been doing well so far, it came about when this guy was trying to blow me out of set by commenting on my shirt, it actually sealed the deal for me and this girl I was sarging two Saturday nights ago. Awesome. I actually broke 100 approaches that weekend. YEAH.

Speaking of approaches, while it is still possible to end up with a 1000. I really doubt I gonna make it, but I’m still gonna try, but I taking off the site. IT’S DEPRESSING ME!!! Hahaha…

Last week was filled with me as according to my cousin ‘harassing women’ in Sarasota. Kind of interesting because I actually 5 numbers, 2 day-twos, and one kiss close. It was a great learning experience, I never thought I could do well with southern gals. But once again, what I thought was completely different from reality. That’s seems to be my theme for the past two weeks, all my worst fears have not come true. I did get yelled, but it was because I went into AFC mode and trying to tell this HB that there was bug in her hair (there really was).

SNIPER: (softly) Um, um, um, excuse me, miss …
HBBug: (loudly) WHAT!??
SNIPER: (smiling and looking at the bug in her hair) Um, never mind.

Hahaha… I deserve it for being timid, but I also laughed because I could not take her seriously with a bug in her hair.

I had dinner with the ‘one’ on Sunday. It is kind of interesting when you lose your lust and the oh, my god I love for a girl that all of a sudden you’re like what the hell was I thinking. She is definitely smart and beautiful, but she is so negative. I never realized that before, maybe it was because I was in aw. Who knows. We had a great time. Nothing came out of it, she emailed me yesterday thanking for dinner and a good time. We are suppose to have drinks when I get back this week.

Ok, I have to get back to work. I’m about to burn another bridge. Oh, well, the a**hole should have given me a bonus.

This has been floating on youtube. If you get a chance read some of the comments.

You'll find stuff like this:
quemacha
I am a woman, so I know how I like to be treated, and I definitely would never allow a man to manhandle me like that. You want seductive? Watch Ralph Macchio and Elisabeth Shue in the "Karate Kid" or Roberto Benigni and Nicoletta Braschi in "Life Is Beautiful."

Eh????

Prize Thinking

I opened ten sets throughout the day. There was a trigger point. I was standing in line at Caribou Coffee. A girl glanced at me and I glanced back. I thought she was cute and also felt that she was really checking me out - I'm the prize I thought. I walked over and introduced myself, we had the quickest conversation about 45 seconds, nothing came out of it because I had no real plan.

I think I am like most guys you jump into this. Read everything and try everything. The thing is I have read some many different things that I really don't have any consistent method that I follow. Swingcat's book is great, but I think I read it at the wrong time without a full understanding. Yes, I'm a prize, but I am a man so I must approach. This is where I get hung up if I am the prize then why should I approach, why should I be social, why should I build/refine my identity, the act of doing these things actually means I am not the prize. Right? I do not think so. What I have come to believe is that in order to be the prize, I must do all those things and many more. It kind of like wishful thinking, if I do not take action then I can not be the prize.

So guess what I'm trying to say is action equals results.
