Asunders first day out (Where should I have taken this?)

[Asunder]

A little background. I am not terrible at talking to women. I’m quick witted, sarcastic, and fairly good at keeping the conversation moving. But over the last several years I have completely avoided picking up women (maybe because I gained a little weight, which has now been completely lost, and that somehow has made me much less confident.) So I have read Mystery Method , The Game , and been on this site for a while, but just recently signed up because I need to start posting and learning more. For the first time today I went out with the intention of hitting on someone.

So I walk into this local bar and grill, and take a seat at the bar. All of the waitresses and the bartender are HB8’s or higher, definitely hired guns . I notice a hb7 and hb7.5 sitting two seats down from me drinking beers, and chatting with a few guys. I order myself a tonic and lime (I don’t drink but like to look like I do), and make eye contact with the 7. I politely nod to her, and look back at the game on tv. A minute later she lights a cigarette, and I know that I have found my opening . I ask for a cigarette, then we banter about the game that’s on, her name, my name, and then I bring up the new smoking ban from the next town over. Then I move into this.

Asunder – Did you know that the government just passed a law to ban cigarettes?

7 – Oh God, why can’t they just let people smoke? It’s our decision.

Asunder – Yeah, well get used to big brother watching. The next thing you know, cigarettes are going to just…(make the cigarette vanish) disappear. But I’m sure it’ll be a few years until it completely goes through (and I bring the cigarette back into view, and light it up to smoke.)

7 – Holy shit, how did you do that?

Asunder – Many long lonely Saturday nights spent in front of a mirror practicing, when I should have been out looking for cute girls waving shiny things in front of their faces to get their attention.

(she laughs)

At this point I know that its time to kino escalate, but I couldn’t even muster up the courage for a hand on shoulder move.

7 – Well who doesn't like shiny things?

Asunder – Most girls do, now if I could only find a cute one to talk to. (then I waited 3 seconds before I grin at her to let her know that I’m kidding.)

Amog/AFC – Hey sweetie, let me get you another beer.
(I have no idea how to disarm an AFC, as I am still very much one myself.)

At this point she says it was nice to meet me, and turns around back to the set.

I finish my drink, watch the game for a while, have a second, and then leave.

From reading a lot of field reports I think that I should have opened the set, disarmed the afc, kino escalated, and all that. But I did have her by herself from the very beginning, so how could I have moved forward and disarmed the afc from the point where I was at?

Any assistance is appreciated.

That's the cigarette trick that I was referring to. I think it will come in handy in the future when I'm out in the bars and clubs. Its real easy to do.

And no, that is not me. lol
