FR: I can't remember your name!

[Guest]

So I guess I'll do one of these field report things, haven't done one in awhile, they're such a pain in the ass to write up, but I'll try anyway.

So last night I decided I might as well go out since I didn't have to wake up in the morning. Two of my non-community roomates were thinking of going out too(one of which is a natural), so we all piled into an old ass jeep and decided to hit some spots. First stop we went to was Ra in Plano. Turns out they don't open their doors for business on a Tuesday night. Damn, I like that place. Firewater is way the fuck over on NW Highway. So we're talking about hitting Zen Austin Ranch, but we don't know if they are even open or how busy they are, so we decide to go to Addison. Chauser's is busy tonight, tuesday is their night. But I didn't feel like putting up with
- A small venues like that
- Loud ass area, it sounds like a club in there at that time
- And Asains.

So, we arrive at good old Sherlocks (damn, I am at this place way too fucking much). It seems packed for a Tuesday night. One of my goals tonight was to not drink alcohol (well, at least nothing that I paid for). We walk in, upstairs is pretty dead, a few people here and there eating dinner. Eh. We go downstairs where there is a band playing that is really bad. But What can you expect on a tuesday at Sherlocks? The non natural roomate rolls up to the bar and buys us all a round. I guess I'll drink a little alcohol tonight...if it's free. The other roomate sees a girl he knows from somewhere and starts talking to her, she's probably a 5.
I deceide to go do a round and see what else is up in here. I don't see anything I really like, maybe I should lower my standards here in Addison. I get back to the "posse" and hang out for a bit. The girl that knows the roomate has her cousin come over. She is a blonde 6 and super drunk. She is all over me and the roomate. It really gets kind of annoying, she is talking about dumb stuff and how some Japenesse guy at her table bought her a drink and other stupid things. Hmmm, tonight may be a bust.

Then a 7 comes up to me and is like "hey Justus, you seem to be everywhere that I am at for some odd reason...are you stalking me?" I met this girl at Sherlocks like a month or so ago, and didn't number close her. I seen her again in uptown last friday and now again at Sherlocks. She's obviously a Sherlocks/bar rat. Her friend comes over too, who I think is much cuter, so I think I'll try for this one instead. I can't remember names for shit, this seems to be a big problem. I don't know this girls name, so I introduce her to the roomate to get her name, "hey, this is my roomate ---" and then she says "hey, I'm ----" Well, I instantly forget the name again. I guess I should bring a piece of paper with me and takes notes on names next time I am out. So I am talking to these two girls and I guess I somehow ignore the girl that opened me because she goes back to the table where they were sitting and the cuter friend stays around. I think cuter girl said her name was Meagan, but I forget her name too. I guess that works ok. She talks for a bit, I find out that the cute one is there with her boyfriend and says we should join their table, I tell her I might be over in a little bit, I didn't want to go over right away, for some reason I thought it would come off as needy since we were having a convo when she came over and talked to us.

I talk to some girl at the bar, find out it's her birthday. Move on, do a couple other sets. Nothing really. I am talking to my unoccupied roomate about something and annoying blonde cousin comes back. This time she has a friend. Blonde is all over both of us...what a skank. She is slurring her words and just being an idiot. Then the girl roomate knows starts talking to me and jumps in this pointless conversation that we are having. She asks for directions like 10 times and thinks an intersection has 3 streets. Hmmm, I hope I don't look this stupid after I have been drinking. I am eying the table were the two girls that were talking to me earlier were sitting. It is them two and three guys. The guys don't bother or intimidate me, I love mixed sets. The thing I was worried about was sitting down. The only open seats were on the outside of the group next to two of the guys. I thought it would be very difficult to stay in the group or conversation at that position and I wasn't going to stand and talk to em when they were all seated. The girls also were getting up every so often and dancing on the dance floor while the guys sat there and stared at em. Probably would have been an easy group to control. Every so often she would lead a guy from the table to the floor and other times it would just be her friend and her. Guess that was the boyfriend.

Everyone is drunk so I need to make sure no one left without me since I didn't drive up there myself. I find one of the guys and find out the other has already left with the 5 he was working on. So we are about to jet. I decide I might as well talk to the group of girls from earlier. I go over to the table and the one that opened me kissed me on the cheek out of nowhere (people do weird things when they are drunk). I talk to her for a bit. And the cuter one is standing right there next to me. She asks what I am doing this weekend, I say I haven't figured it out, but will probably be in addison friday night. I grab her number and jet since my ride is waiting for me outside. We get back to the house and the guy that pulled the 5 is waiting outside...he forgot his keys inside earlier so he has no way of getting in the house. Ha, I found that funny.

[color=#6600cc]What I learned/Need to work on[/color]
- I need to work on remembering names better, even sober I can't seem to remember a strangers name.
- I probably should have opened more, if not just for practice. But then again, I'm not sure if opening a girl you don't like is a waste of time.
- Drinking to excess makes you look like an idiot.

Nice FR.

I wish you would write more of them.

Sounds like you had a good night sir.

I am horrible with names as well. You did the right thing by introducing the girl to your friend. Perfect tactic. I have forgotten girls names plenty of times. I have even pulled my phone out and number closed without knowing their name. Then they will IOI by telling me their name again without me asking.

Another tactic you can use is when you number close ask for the number. Then ask ok and how do you spell your name? They will think nothing of this question.

Another tactic people in sales use is to say ok Jessica let me ask you...blah blah. That way you are saying her name right after she gives it to you which will help you remember.

Should you open girls you are not attracted to? Hell yes you should. Of course I say this because I used to do it. I used to open everyone in the bar. When I first got into the community I was very open to talking to anyone even guys and ughs. It just shows that you are outgoing, talkative, fun, etc. People pick up on this and will be more receptive of you opening them as well. Plus it just gets you more into the correct mindset and frame that you need to be. You will notice I no longer do this...so...do as I say not as I do.

If you can run this game sober I highly recommend it. At the most catch a buzz. There is no doubt drunkeness hinders your game. And yes drunk people look silly.

Follow up with that 7. She is interested in you.

....well shit....




Edit:
Oh wait, I have more to add:

So I'm pretty convinced that it was going out with my non-community friends that did tons for me as far as figuring out how to still act like me...i.e. be grounded...and still work my game.

I found myself suppressing some of the community bullshit you pick up on (oooo yes...believe it or not...the community has it!), and yet I still had the confidence of knowing (or at least telling myself) that I have an advantage over alot of other people there.

I haven't been solo sarging before (no fun...I like friends), but I suspect that going out with non-community friends (and pushing yourself to do well with whatever you're after) is the next best thing.

As for the remembering names thing...I'm HORRIBLE at it. In fact, I'm horrible at remembering things in general.
I've gotten used to just recovering from it....give em a nickname and play it off like thats just what you're going to be calling them for the night. If anything, you'll remember the nickname because its something you chose.

Also, DEFF stop worrying about opening ugs. Who the hell gives a shit? I don't care if I see you open an ug...I'm not going to assume you're going to take her home...besides what do you care what I assume?
Just cause you open em doesn't mean you're gunna fuck em....cause you won't, I know you better than that.

I say open em all if you're not in the mood to start talking to the hotties yet. There's just so much to gain from it and almost nothing to lose.

Nice FR.

Forget names, just give them a nickname.

Pumpkin Butt
Sweet Tits
Trouble
Sexy
Kitten

Etc.

I'm horrible at names and routinely have closed chicks and put their name in my phone with a description of her plus the name of the venue at which we met. For example,

Girl with ugly sister Kismet
Girl with fake tits Sherlocks
Marginally attractive girl Blackfinn

You don't have to remember their name to fuck them. Trust me.

May be he was referring to the other kind...my kind lol

good FR though! I too need to start talking to anyone and everyone...I've seen Afterlife do that very well...

[Guest]

Fun read. Yea, drunks pretty much suck. Thats why Im not in Dallas much anymore, at some point I turned into an alchy when I hit the bars. My game goes to shit and I just end up embarresing myself...
Names, yuck. B(space)R is right on this one. Nickname em and its easier to tell em apart. Rotate 4 or 5 and that should help.

[Guest]

Yep, I am horrible at names. I can't count the number of times I've been about to add some pieces number in my phone and she pulls the old..

Do you even know my name?
Of course I do.
What is it?
..........Krindy?

Name remembering isn't important though. Just hand her the phone and let her put her name in. Or just put it in as "hooker" and give it to her to put in her number.
