Background: I helped get the Tallahassee Lair in full momentum last time I was here in February 2009. Now, the guy who runs it Falcon is going to be running some bootcamps here.
We head over to another members place and he says here’s your first guys. One of them, I found out later had a g/f, and didn’t want to go into PUA just yet. However, the other newbie was interested and took in everything. The coaching started earlier in the day with a friend of mine going over the Mystery Method and actually working some sets with him in the coffee shop. He texted me the next day astonished at this stuff and was thanking for me to introduce him to it…
Back to newbie. We go over his history and we discuss game. This was totally informal as I didn’t have anything really prepared and didn’t even know about the coaching opportunity… I go over general game with him and let him know about how it has changed my life.
Venue- Club Rayn
We head over to the venue. 3 PUA’s, 1 newbie in training, and another one who was “curious.” Once in the venue, it is pretty slow. I remember going over the new Mystery Project Hollywood and he mentioned even if the venue was slow to open whoever. Newbie is watching me and I open a 3 set with the “Drunk I Love You’s Opener”
The opener goes like this
PUA: Hey Quick Question, Do you think Drunk I Love You’s Count?
Her: No
PUA: My friend called his girlfriend last night when he was drunk and told her that he loved her. This morning he called her back and said he was taking it back…
Her: Always receives an emotional response
I worked my target for a few, but didn’t call in the newbie yet. I went over wing rules with him and walked around the venue with him as I was greeting other people.
I open another set obstacle for Falcon- HB 8 Colombiana. This girl was pretty hot and visiting from Ft. Lauderdale. I talked to her about my recent vacation to South America and was running the set in Spanish. Did some cold reading, qualifying, and hit my DHV stories that I have been working on. I get occupied and another girl I know walks past me. I introduce the two of them and say bye to Colombiana and go off with the other girl. I had gamed this HB the previous week. I sit down and she sits down next to me. I would use her later in the night as a pivot in other sets.
One area I would like to work on is taking advantage of using pawns/pivots in my sets more.
I have newbie open a set and he goes in with no AA. Good job he calls me in and I talk to the obstacle HB8 Dental Hygienist. This girl was cute and Southern, too. She had a nice lil Ga accent. Newbie stays in his set for a bit then ejects. I stay in with mine ran some cold reads, qualification, and went into DHV Stories… Number closed her…
I compliment newbie on opening his set and gave him some tips on opening game and how to approach a set better IE not leaning in and not fidgeting… I was really impressed at the fact that he had very little AA and would approach. His opening game needs work, but he has a lot of potential.
The rest of the night I was focused on helping newbie open more sets and getting to know him as a person. He was a great guy and we will be working together tonight. I will have some planned material to go over with him before we head out to the venue… We head to IHOP and all debrief over the night. You could tell we made an impact on him.
Things I did well
1. Got a dose of my first on the field coaching experience
2. Even though the venue was slow, I approached what was there and made the best of it
3. I showed the newbie some stuff that could potentially change his life
Things I need to work on
1. Work more on my coaching skills- I’m new to this
2. Continue to work more on my bi-wing game
3. Using pivots/pawns more in sets
There will be a bootcamp on May 15th that I might be helping with if I am in town. I really enjoyed this and would like to continue coaching other guys…
