Hi guys, this is a field report from no so sunny Nottingham. I would like to call this post birth of a
Pua, but I'm going to stick with death of an afc (need to close 1st before i would even conside the
pua tag).
Anyway i was in Nottingham for a stag party with a guy from work, so none of them know about pu or anything like that. So we start the day early about 2 in the afternoon and we hit different bars. Now I don't know if it's the fact that we started drinking early, the mix of larger sambucka vodka after shock and god know what else in rather large quantities, I'm still frustrated over this girl I really want, or a combination of everything, but we were all stood in revolution about 9 oclock choading about and there's sets of hot girls everywhere when this voice in the back of my head starts saying "must open", and I start smiling and I can feel the buzz running through my body. So I give my drink to one of the guys I'm with and go stright into a four set all by myself knowing no one will back me up, chat to them for a bit and then re join the guys.
Again a few minutes goes past and I give the same guy my drink again and open a three set, again chat for a bit, have a laugh with them, bust on them a little and rejoin the guys. At which point the guy I keep leaving my drink with is gob smacked at seeing me just walk up to these hot chicks and start talking, he's like "I'm staying with you all night"
So we bounce and there's a two set outside giving put flyers with there back to us, so I walk over, open, turns out they were both from Manchester so we have a three way hug. At which point two of the guys walk over who I'm out with as they are blown away and one ends up taking some photos of me and these two hot chicks (ones like 9 and the others a 7). Cool!
So we to somewhere else and I open a few other sets in there and actully start tapping girls on the shoulder as they are walking past trying to get there attention.
Was on a real roll untill the part bounces to a strip club, as there is nothing to open but strippers after money :-( I chat to a few of them and use it as practice for a routine I'm learning (the style one about telling someones personality from way rings they wear in their fingers), one of the girls loved it and was really giddy after I said what her personality was, and it was great practice for eye contact as well as there were loads if hb 9.5's there and I've never been in one of those places before.
All in all a good night, was very supprised by myself and my own natural urge to go and open! Crazy shit :-)

Just as a side note, i think what really helped was i didn't need to think of an opener, it was just "hi guys, i'm down here on a stag do with my friends, do you know of anywhere good round here?". It really did help me having that as estabilished, as i didn't need to think about what to say untill i was already in set. I definatly need to come up with a couple of good generic openers and just use them as it lets me get in more and more sets without worrying about what to say, which has always been the reason i've stumbled, it's never been the fear of approach, its the fear of not knowing what to say.
