Field report #1
This is the first time i write a field report of me going out. I have been trying going out solo because my friends are shit at picking up girls, so i thought i'd be better off going alone.
Last week I tested out going solo to bars with very little success. I was just sitting down looking at my phone all the time. But it gave me an idea on how it would go.
I was terrified at first, thinking that everybody would spot me and call me out on going out solo. But that does not happened and eventually i got used to it.
So this night was my first real night going out solo. I left my phone in my car so i could not watch it when i was feeling like it.
I went to a place with alot of bars, and went in the one with most people. It was a big sausage fest (5 guys per girl). I bought a beer and was dancing and chilling out a bit.
I was pretty stressed out, I saw 2 girls at the bars and decided i had to talk to one of them.
I tapped her on the shoulder and said "When does this bar close?" (In french). She didnt understand me so i repeated it. She still didnt understand it, and then i realised she was Spanish and could only talk English. After we talked for a bit and then she left with her drink and her friends.
I survived my first aproach...
After that i went outside and saw a really hot girl alone on her phone at the bar outside. I went to her and opened with "Do you speak French?" (in french) she said no, and i continued in English with "Do you know another bar with better music and atmosphere?". She said that she was Italian and only visiting Brussels. So after we talked for a bit and suddenly her 3 friends come around. They all greet me as if i am a good friend of the Italian chick.
After I talked for a while with a friend of her. She was not hot but very nice, we talked for a while and then they decided to leave, and so did I.
Nothing amazing happened. But I'm happy on how my first night out solo went.
It wasnt as terrifying as I thought.
The problem is in Brussel you have a shit ton of expats, and when i open them i never know in what language i should start. Because most of them dont understand French. And my openers will fail most of the time because the girl just cant understand what I say..
Well I'm currious to see how my other nights will go.
