Ok, so I was doing nothing this afternoon, so I decided to hit the mean streets of Bristol and try out a big of day game.

Now, I've not really been out with the sole intention of running day game before, so I was a little apprehensive at first, but that soon cleared.

My goal was to attempt two number closes on two 7+ girls, win or lose.

As I wandered around the town wondering where to start, I suddenly remember that my band had suggested we wear comedy moustaches for our gig tonight (don't worry, this is going somewhere), so I decided to pick them up from Poundland before I start chatting to people.

So, bag of moustaches in hand, I start to look for a first target. It so happens that the way I got talking to her was about as perfect as could be. As I turned a corner, I scared a group of pigeons that were sitting on the floor, and as they flew off, a solid HB7 coming the other way got scared and screamed. I had zero time to neg myself out, zero time to overthink it and just went straight for the kill.

Me: "Haha, that was hilarious how you screamed"
Her: "God that was frightening"
Me: "I hear they're more frightened of you than you are of them... but I think in this instance that wasn't the case"
Her: "I really hate pigeons"
Me: "Poor sweet little pigeons?"
Her: "Yeah, they poo on you"
Me: "Isn't that supposed to be good luck?"
Her: "It doesn't feel very lucky"
...
... few other bits and bobs back and forth...
...
Me: "Would you like me to be your pigeon bodyguard? I'd walk alongside you and scare them away when needed"
Her: "Are you available 24/7?"
Me: "I'd have to check my schedule"
Her: "You do that and let me know"
Me (gets out phone): "Give me your number then and I'll let you know how my diary looks. I'm going to save you as Pigeon Lady"
Her (laughs): "Ok, it's 07.............."
Me: "Cool. Right then Pigeon Lady, well I have more people to go and rescue, but if something opens up in my schedule soon I'll drop you a line, ok?"
Her: "Sounds good to me"
Me: "Bye then"

...and eject.

Phew, that felt good. The fact that it all happened to quickly was awesome I had no time to stress out about it. Feeling a bit more in state, I go looking for number two and see a MenCap collection girl (HB7 again) sitting on a wall having a fag and looking like she's about to cry.

I walk over and sit next to her.

Me: "Let me guess, everyone's been really shitty to you today, right?"
Her: "Is it that obvious?"
Me: "You look like the last fifty people you tried to stop told you to fuck off"
Her: "That's pretty close to the truth"
Me: "Yeah, people can be dicks"
Her: "Yeah they can"
Me: "Well, I'll be honest, I didn't come over here to sign up to MenCap, but you looked like you might want to chat to a friendly face for a little bit"
Her: "Really? That's so nice, I'd love that - by the way, I must say you're dressed really cool"
Me: "Thanks, I like to have my own sense of style"
...
...
... five minutes of conversation passes where we talk about how she hates her job, about the fact I'm a musician and am playing a gig tonight (and some next week), I use the moustaches as props and we have a laugh trying some on, and I generally make her feel better from her shitty mood
...
...
...
Her: "I'll admit, you've made me feel loads better"
Me: "I'm glad, that's what I'm here for"
Her: "I'll do anything to repay the favour"
Me: "Hmmmm.... how about a silly dance?"
Her: "Ok" (she gets up and dances in the street for about ten seconds)
Me: "Right, so your skills aren't in dancing... you should just give me your phone number instead"
Her: "07..."
Me: "Whoa, slow down, let me get my phone out. Ok, go"
Her: "077............. Hey, I should come and see you play sometime next week"
Me: "Sounds good, I'll drop you a text to let you know where I'll be"
Her: "Can I take your number too"
Me: "Sure, it's 07............."
Her: "Right, well I'd better get back to work. Thanks again [my name]" (she gives me a massive hug and kisses me on the cheek)
Me: "Ok, enjoy the rest of your day"

...and I leave.

5 minutes later, phone beeps

Her: "Thanks again. You really made my day. Make sure you text me about next week, or I'm around at the weekend if you want a drink x"


So, all-in-all, two attempts and two successful number closes. They both came from the "damsel in distress" angle really, but whatever works.

I think the main thing that I learnt though is just to be confident, a little bit cheeky and a little bit flirty, but overall to be a nice guy. At least in those situations anyway.

Awesome field report mate. Good work

Top Job BCB,

I often find that being nice, especially to people who don't expect it like check-out girls, can get you noticed and make their day. If you make someones day, they remember you.

So managing to combine that with a number close must be a recipie for success.

SP

To be honest Making somones day and going out of your way for somone is a worth while thing to do wether you want a number or a shag out of it or absolutly nothing at all-- more people should be like this and less selfish

Damn right. If we were all just a little nicer to other people the world would be a better place

Great report BCB - you even made me smile, you great big friendly moustachioed bear, you!

I need to try a bit of day game myself really...

Nice work.

Day game rocks!

And the girls love it

Nice work. Sounds like you took advantage of girls in vulnerable states. Can make it easier as you come across as the Knight in Shining Armour. I have doen this, one time helped a girl with her bike as her chain had come off and got her number.

Maybe we should just lookk for Damsels in distress! Theres something so sexy primative about it that women love!
