Saturday, 7 approaches

3 BRUTAL rejections

I think I must have picked up the "chick repellent" instead of sun cream again

Approach 1

Saw a lovely brunette with platted hair. Approached once with "I'm approaching you because I find you pretty", which was promptly ignored.

Decided to reapproach, BRUTAL rejection of "Can you just leave me alone please".

After which I made a SHARPISH exit.

Approach 2

Two set, went up to both, said "I love you and I love you" gesturing to each of them.

Heard them sarcastically say "Thank you" and then something else about seeing me doing it around town the other day and about it being "not cool".

This reaction crushed me so I got out of there as soon as possible and didn't bother to re approach or anything.



Approach 3

Saw two chicks walking, I liked the look of both, approached from the side of one saying "I'd like to get to know you".

To which she replied "No thanks" and that she was already engaged and she'd "never heard that from a random person before".

Again, I was crushed by this reaction and slowly walked off in the other direction to sniggers from passer's by.

Approach 4

Saw a foreign chick in the supermarket, said she was pretty and that I'd "like to get to know her more". She backed away at first, but then smiled and said "thank you"

But she didn't give me anything to work with to take it further and my state was in tatters after two BRUTAL rejections.

Approach 5

Weakly approached a chick with shopping bags, she literally ignored me and carried on walking. I did not reapproach, anticipating a bad reaction if I did.

Approach 6

Tesco Express approach, not many people about so felt confident, saw a chick walk in that I fancied, went straight in to her, no hovering about like I sometimes do, went in, opened with "I'd LOVE to get to know you". She said she was taken but thanked me for the compliment.

Approach 7

Best approach of the day and one of the best of my approaching career!

I think I was helped by there being no one else in the immediate vicinity when I stopped her.

I said she was pretty which she took well and said I'd love to get to know her , to which she replied "in what way".

So I committed and said "on a man to woman level" to which she responded positively.

Then she dropped the bombshell:

She was only 18!

We still had a chat and it went well.

This here is a PRIME example of what I mean when I say I WISH I was 18 again.

I really, really, REALLY wish I was 18 or even 21 or there abouts again.

But a nearly 11 year age gap isn't going to work with my baggage (or lack thereof). And the mentally dark times I've been through in my early 20s, an 18 year old doesn't need to know a person like that.

So we chatted for awhile and went out seperate ways.

Which I am not sad about.

The only thing I am sad about is my age and that's the one thing I can't change. It's a confidence boost if nothing else but I wish this was 2008 and not 2018

So yeah, glad I pushed through the brutal rejections and finished on a good note, but it was bittersweet at the end with the 18 year old girl because it just felt so weird.

I've been conscious 10 more years than her, 10 more years of memories, 10 more years of being an adult.

It's just such a mindfuck.
