Evening chaps,

After reading The Game & The Mystery Method, along with watching the first two of Mystery's video seminars I tonight decided to take the first leap and get out and try the newbie challenge. It was minorly successful & I would appreciate your feedback on my account.

I decided to go to a local club, which I knew would be very busy. Upon entering I walked very confidently (& smiling) straight towards the other side. A few heads turned, which I thought was a good thing. However, I couldn't immediately see any sets that I thought would be a good start, so I went straight to the bar and attempted to scope out the place.

Whilst waiting to be served, a 7/10 appeared at my side and asked if I wanted to put our orders together (presumably in order to get served quicker). I wasn't expecting this, so was caught slightly off-guard. My first thought was to not seem needy & too keen, so, as she told me she was ordering 4 Smirnoffs, I asked how many of them were for me. She said she only had enough to buy the four for her friends, but if I gave her a kiss on the cheek, she might think again. This immediately rang out as a clear IOI! In order to neg, I told her that I'm not that cheap, but she could give me a kiss on the cheek instead. She didn't... (Too quickly into A2?)
She continued to show IOIs however, asking me what I do. I replied that I was a lion tamer, which she thought was funny. Then, not knowing how to follow that up (and not wanting to ask what she does), I told her what I really do, which was a bit of an anticlimax.
I then ran the "Did you see the girls fighting outside?" routine, which kept her interest & she then asked my name.
One of her friends then signalled to her that they already had the drinks, so she said she was re-joining them. Not wanting to follow (and not yet having ordered my own), I wasn't sure how to keep her there. And thus ended the first attempt.

I welcome your comments and suggestions as to what you would have done.

I think my first mistake was the choice of venue, as despite there being many 7, 8 & 9's there, the music was just that little bit too loud to make it hard to hear. Many of the girls (even at the bar) were dancing or half-dancing, which I thought would make my energy level seem too low upon approaching them.

I also tried the girls fighting opener on a two-set, who seemed completely disinterested by it...

Finally, in a minor attempt a peacocking, I wore sunglasses on my head, which I think worked. One girl on the way in asked why I was wearing them, to which I responded "Oh, they're not for me, they're to shield others from my brilliant smile..." I thought they would be good to lock-in a target.

I look forward to hearing from you all,

I'm new but this all sounds abit contrived to me, I'm considering a more direct Shock & Awe 2 approach, even failures at this point would mean more to me than what I've gotten, lol Although I'm interested in whether this was the only girl you spoke too or not. Interesting 1st attempt, I will be interested to see the replies.
