Day game - Grove

Ray, Drew, Dylan MacKay, and I roll out to the Grove around 8:00

103. Ray and I are walking side by side, with a 2-set approaching us. We both say at about the same time, Hey, Do you like horses? I finish delivering the opener, and then we quickly split into 2 different sets. Hug. Smart tests. Smart/Hot/Rich. 8 girlfriends. She has a boyfriend, and won't agree to be my g/f. Conversation about living in LA. What do you do for fun? Boring girl. BBQ? Don't eat meat. Me neither... and off to boringville. Ciao babes (C>5) The cool thing about this set is that we stopped them in the parking garage, they said they were going to get food, and we made them stay about 15 minutes.

104. In a department store, a cute employee is folding clothes. Horse Girl. Hug. Brad Pitt. Smart tests. What is 4x4? Are you serious? Well, I thought I would start you out with an easy one... She gets it right, but doesn't know her capitals. Smart/Hot/Rich. She's not rich... OK, well what are your best qualities? And she doesn't have any... needs her friends to say what they are... Oh, so you are humble? That's cool. Would you like to be my 9th girlfriend? She has a boyfriend, and only needs one... Doesn't agree to be 6th or 3rd... She starts walking away, and that is that... (C>5)

105. Leaving said dept store, and there is a girl standing at the door with a walkie talkie. I ask her if she is company security, and she jokes that she is. Cool, I need a new body guard. Offer her no pay and no benefits, but a cool flashlight. She agrees, and we pinky promise. Brad Pitt. Shedding Cat... she says that she bets a lot of girls have the name of my cat, suggesting that it is a line. Smart Tests. Smart/Hot/Rich. We are under constant interruption from people coming/going... She says she is in a relationship, and I say good bye (C>5)

106. We are walking down the street, and 2 Thai girls are taking photos of each other. I hop in the photo with one of them, and then they want a photo with the other. They aren't cute, so I just do some idle chit chat, tell them to enjoy LA, and eject (C<5)

Meanwhile, I creatively avoid two sets of women in the outdoor area of restaurants... one of the groups I creatively avoid twice! I am a master of creative avoidance at times

Into a dress store:

107. I see a girl with a nice body, from behind. I planned to do Horse Girl, but then I saw her face, and instead do sexy shoes. Hug. She drops the H-bomb, and mentions her husband. I hug her again, and eject (C<5)

108. I walk up to a skinny hot girl, and she just pressed send on her cell phone, but I ask how many shoes she owns. Then I ask if she needs to get that, pointing to her cell... no, its just my Mom. So I continue the opener, up to saying she looks just like her, and then say Go talk to your Mom. (C<5) In retrospect, I should have said Tell her you'll call her back, or asked for her phone and included her mom in the routine

109. A girl is trying on hats. I tell her that "the other one" looks better on her, like she is vacationing in the South of France. She is from Europe (Russia actually) and likes the sound of being in Europe. So, why are you in LA? I'm an actress... Really, what restaurant do you work in? She tells me, haha. Brad Pitt. Shedding Cat, but she doesn't shed so I skip the escalations... Smart tests. Smart/Hot/Rich. 8 girlfriends. She doesn't agree to be my girlfriend. She asks me to name my 8 girlfriends. I tell her I'll name them alphabetically, and she says start at the end of the alphabet. I ask her to give me some women's names that start with Z, and she gives me 4. Wow, so you are smart! I ask her to recite the alphabet backwards, and she claims to only be able to do it in Russian. She suddenly asks, "What are you doing?!" having realized that I am in the middle of a women's clothing store. I'm shopping. For a girlfriend? haha. I tell her we need to continue this conversation, so what's the best way to get in touch with her. # exchange. I tell her to save it as something funny, and offer some names. She says she will figure out a name. I go for practice call back, and she asks what I can offer for her to be excited that I call. Nice qualification girl! I tell her she should be excited because I am fantastic. I gotta go. I go for the hug, and she says "next time." Ouch. (#, and 15 minute conversation)

We now head back to the house, and go to a nearby milkshake store

110. I see a really hot body in a parking lot, and wait for her and her friend to get closer. Horse Girl. They walk off. This is the closest I have been to a blowout in awhile, and I appreciate that it came from the hottest girl today (B)

Summary:
Zero approach anxiety, but some creative avoidance for dining seated sets.
