Demonstrating Value and Building Rapport - Problems
So heres my first question here on the forum:
I'm in Houston for spring break. I decided to go out alone last night so see how I would do. I went to a bar called Little Woodrow's and met a group of 3 girls there (all HB7+ one was HB9). Technically, this was my first sarge. I basically followed the routine found here http://www.dallaspua.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=782
I did a great opener with a time constraint, then proceeded to a few negs and the best friends test, then I did the cube on the DUF (designated ugly friend...the ugly one of the group). Then I said it was nice meeting them but I had to go and left without saying anything else. I went over to the other side of the bar and and found a random guy to play a few round of pool with. After that I went and got another beer, sat down at a table, and called a buddy of mine to see how his trip to Nashville was going. The girls came over to my table, sat down, and it was disaster from there. It probably wasn't SO bad cuz they stayed for a while, but I felt like a fool. They didn't seem as "enchanted" as they did when they first met me and eventually lost interest. This, roughly speaking, happened to me twice that night at two different bars. I'm having major problems Demonstrating Value and Building Rapport. I guess I just resort back to to AFC chat. What do you do when you cant find ANY commonalities. Its like these girls were from a different planet. I did find commonalities with the second group but not "strong" ones. Same outcome though. Any coments/suggestions?
Note: The girls were all 2-4 years older than me. I'm 22, they were all around 24-26. I'm still in college, they were all recently graduated. Does this matter?
