An apple a day

Going out almost everday for the past two weeks now. Yeah, a few times I invariably have to skip and I cant help it. But other than that I follow this "everyday spend 1/2 an hour meeting ppl" like a cult religion. Results, been encouraging. The game is 'getting back' in ma veins again. :-). Though this time the focus is entirely on direct game. Spot stop show interest.. bam go for close.. as easy as that. Have learnt a trick or two. But the most mind boggling thing about direct game is that it can lead to superfast closes. For example:

Stop a HB with her friends pass by me. PBR nuggles me. And I run back.

Me : Hey excuse me (Huge Smile).
Big ones disarms the set, the bigger the better. Perverts!!! I am talking about the smile. What better way to say that I am the most friendliest kid on the block.

HB : (Smiles back with a puzzled look.. like do I recognise this guy from somewhere)

Me : Hi, I just passed by you. I reckon I kinda like you. Had to come and say a Hi to you. I am Preetham.

HB : (Ya chirstmas tree is lit) I am HBCutie. :-)

Me : (to the HBFriend) And you ?

HBF: Blah blah.

So I decided to get the most fanciest of the tricks from my basket. Yeah Fluff.
Me : So what you guys do?

One is studying in a post college of the city and the other is doing law in another fundu college.

Ok, my basket of tricks is almost empty well with in 2 minutes.
Me : Ok, guys was nice meeting you two. I gotta run now. But I really enjoyed meeting you. Hope we can catch up sometime later. Lets exchange numbers.

HB : I am sorry I dont do numbers.

ME : Email then.

HB : Sure, but before that what do you do ? (he he he)

ME : blah blah blah

HB : OK email id is.......

Well mail close within two minutes of meeting. Never could have done the same with the indirect openers. Thing to note is that I didn't work to build attraction. Either, the direct opening is itself very attractive or ma body lang would have fking good. I feel like I am so in my own skin doing of direct ones. Since, I have conveyed the interest upfront going for a quick close isn't a issue.

But, I see something that missing...
1. Attraction. Build some attraction with banter.
2. Deep EC might help. I will test this out.

This at least a single approach a day is really improving ma game. This is coz the very first approach is the toughest one. So if we can manage 1 every day. AA can be managed to a controllable level.

Tats it for now. But watch out for more post.
