Chipotle Pick-up

[Guest]

I was late for work and starving. Traffic was insane on central for a Friday night. I called my boss to say I may be late and offered to pick up some dinner for her. She declined but said she had no problem picking something up so I hit the Chipotle on Lemon. As I walked in, there was a girl at the front door using mini binoculars. Weird, I though but ok, why not. I walked past her and got in line. I didn't want to waste time, I was already late for work. I was sporting my new avatar, a mashup of late 60's mod and early 70's disco. The new avatar rocks by the way and I was getting opened all night, but I digress.
HB binoculars gets in line behind me. I nod at her while waiting, she smiles back. It's a short line so I only have to wait for 2 people. She opens by talking about the cold outside. I smile, friendly weather response. She opened me, she's interested. I fluff, do a quick DJV about working at a ballroom place. She takes the hook. Talks about how she's a great dancer.. blah blah. I tell her I don't dance, I work the door. I tell her she should come by sometime, I know the door guy. Conversation thread drops, gotta order my burrito. I get it to go and a big drink. She catches up with me at the soda fountain and reengages. We fluff talk. I do some basic elbow kino. She talks about hanging with her friends tonight. I assume she's inviting me to hang. I turn her down, I have to go talk to some artist friends because I may be opening a gallery in January. She asks for my number. I give her my card. I have my soda, my burrito and I'm good to go. I introduce myself, She does too. She offers her number. I say sure, I'll take it. She starts running frantically around looking for a pen. She tries to write her name on my to go bag, I tell her to write it on the back of one of my cards. Bam, number closed an HB8 buying a burrito at Chipotle. I shake her hand and say it was great to meet her and calmly walk out to my car with burrito and Drink in hand.

I get in my car and drop frame. Giddy as a school girl and call everyone I can think of about the Pick up. Sometimes everything just goes your way.

Now comes the mountain. I have never converted a number close. (see my other post)

Thats the truth behind all of this. lol Women choose men... not the other way around.

Exactly......."women choose men".

One thing that you didn't mention but I'm sure had an impact is the fact that you most likely made yourself easy to approach which made her comfortable opening you.

Yes and no.
Women really only have 3 options. They can encourage a man they want to approach to do so, and when a man approaches, they have yes or no power. One of the common laments of women(ask them about this, seriously) is that they can get guys, but not very often the ones they want.
A man however, can chooses to approach ANY women he so desires. A woman waits, a man acts. By very nature, a woman is a reciever and a responder(ask them about this too). The physical mirrors the spiritual. This will not be changing anytime soon, despite all the cultural changes in the past 35 years in this country.

Howie, I always make myself easily approachable. At least I think I do. Unless I'm being mopey. That same night, I got 2 club make outs and another couple of numbers.

As far as the she opened me thing goes, women almost always open men. We just don't usually see it. Most of us need to be bashed on the head to know a girl is interested. I used to, I'm changing that. Look at a lot of what mystery talks about. He talks about the art of the cold approach, but most of what he says is about peacocking, proximity and IOIs. She says, "That hat looks stupid," she just wanted to talk to you and your peacocking gave her an excuse. She is giving you proximity signs, she wants to be opened. She looked at you from the other end of the bar and brushed her hair with her hand or straightened her clothes or touched her finger to her lips while she did it.

That's all her opening you.

Try it some time. go out super peacocked (i do recommend the boa these days, I tried it a few times by accident, I borrowed a girls at a club, or try a silk scarf) have fun. Have real conversations with friends and people you meet. I got opened by a girl because I was talking about the show Californication with a friend. She opened me with, "I heard you guys talking about fucking in LA and I wanted to know what you were talking about."

Anyway, If you are interesting and give them hooks they will open you. What's more is the... Shit, I just realized top hat and goggles girl was proximity engaging me all night. I went outside to smoke, she was there, I went to the bar, she was there, I went to talk to the DJ, she was there. Fuck... she was hot too.

Anyway, you give them hooks, verbal or physical and they will open. If they don't have the courage, they will proximity with IOIs.

Now that being said, I need to get my game going to reel them in for the day 2.

Oh, one more thing, Wings, wing your buddies. Pay attention to the attention your buddy is getting. Let him know when he is getting proximity and IOIs. We don't have eyes in the back of our heads but 2 guys can have 360 coverage of a room. Also, open sets for your wing. If your buddy is getting IOIs that he hasn't noticed, open the set for him, accomplishment intro him and distract the obstacles. Your wing will get you laid.

IMHO, wings and 'winging' are WAY overrated...

Everything you said I pretty much agree with though.

[Guest]

I think a lot of wings get competitive. I think that makes for a less successful night sarging. In that case I totally agree with you. On the other hand, with a teacher/studen dinamic or a cooperative "Your wing will get you laid" attitude wings can do a lot for a PUAs game. If I run game to get my buddy the girl and it helps, cool. Now if he doesn't reciprocate, I need a new wing.

I knew 2 guys in the mid 90's who did everything together. They were perfect candidates for same sex marriage. They were room mates, had all the same tastes and well were gay for eachother except for the sex. Thy would wing each other and aimed at 2 sets of HBs.
They would joke to me about how they would bring 2 chicks back to their place and bang them and trade off by taging out ala tag team match. Now If you're ok with orgies with your wing, go for it but that's not the point. They worked to get eachother laid.
