With the aim to keep the momentum going from yesterday I decided to head out and see what was on offer this lunchtime. I met up with one of my wings on Henry Street and it was full of opportunities. Lots were in groups or with their parents which didn’t help my AA. It’s a warm sunny Monday and everyone seems in great spirits. To get the ball rolling I approached what looked like an easy set. My guess was that she was Brazilian but wasn’t 100%. Usually this type of set is great to help warm up as South American girls in Dublin are usually really receptive. She had her headphones in and was walking quickly but I didn’t let that get in my way. I did the front stop and she didn’t even look at me, kept her headphones in, kept looking forward and continued walking. Thankfully I didn’t allow that to dampen my spirits. Like yesterday, I let a few opportunities pass me by. As we basked in the sun at the top of Grafton Street we saw this attractive looking girl window shopping. As she walked by my wing went after her. He was gone for about 10 minutes and came back with a big smile. Brazilian, very receptive and stunning! Well done!
Just as I was saying goodbye I saw a girl that was just my type. I was nervous as she had a resting bitch face but I forced myself to go. It was possibly the worst rejection I’ve ever got doing daygame. I did the front stop and she gave me the dirtiest look ever. Took off her headphones and asked what I was thinking going near her (I was standing a good 1.5 metre away). She gave me another filthy look and went on her way. Now the learning point – Usually a reaction like that would normally rock me. I’d question why I was out on the streets doing this. Her reaction (although it stung) is fair enough. She may have being having a shitty day or whatever. Failures help you progress and I’m going to use this rejection to help me improve my front stop. If one isn’t failing one isn’t trying hard enough. I will remind myself of this as the Covid-19 rejections build up over the next few weeks! The aim is to keep the momentum up for the rest of the week.
