The first two of my five sets that I opened today contained men. Usually I go for two sets of girls but I decided to open a couple with men just to accelerate my loss of AA.

The third set that I opened was two girls. As I was talking to them, I leaned back against a railing and they stopped walking to talk to me. I didn't manage to escalate the convo much this time.

The fourth set was two hb8s that were walking along the street. I asked them if they knew where I could get the best ice cream in Palermo. They told me and then I asked them if they could speak English.

They both spoke English very well and this opened up loads of convo. They stopped in the street and talked to me about their time in London etc. Then I offered to walk with them and we chatted for another 15 minutes, at least.

They were very friendly and asked me a lot of questions. I gave them my card, so that they could add me on facebook and I number closed both of them. They both said they were looking to improve their English so we have agreed to meet up for a language exchange. The mother of one of them owns a pub, so we said we could do it there.

I kissed them both on the cheek and moved on.

The fourth two-set of girls was moving. When I said, "Excuse me," they carried on walking with worried looks on their faces. I stood my ground and said, "Excuse me," again a little louder and with a look on my face that said, 'I am confused as to why you are walking away from me'.

This time they stopped and I used the same Ice cream opener. They happened to be walking in that direction anyway so I walked with them. I asked them if they spoke English. They did not but were interested in learning. We chatted for a good ten minutes and they were also very friendly. I facebook closed both of them, but this time I did not ask for numbers.

I thought maybe it might be a bit weird to number close when I hadn't been talking to them as long as I had the other two.

But, all in all, I am very pleased with today's day game. I will be calling the other two girls for sure!

Good work mate! You must have been buzzing after all of that.

Thanks man! Yeah, I feel like I have broken through the pain barrier. I have always been a night game man, so this has been out of my comfort zone. Now it just feels sooo doable!
