Zagreb Wednesday

Watch the video diary here - http://vimeo.com/17412941 Wednesday I woke with a huge kick up the arse. 5 opens and two numbers in two days was embarrasing. And we were filming it all! I was beginning to get worried. Lithuania had been so successful (twice), that’s why we got the idea to film Zagreb. We were heading into failure and in the back of my mind I had Spyder‘s mates who‘d all smugly announced we‘d get nothing from our trip. Wednesday HAD to turn around. And it was torrential, even worse! The rain was worse than the day before only there was more of it. It rained all morning. I flipped. I put in probably my hardest ever day of game in 4 years. I did almost 20 opens. And for the first 9 in the rain I got only 1 ‘close’ and she wasn‘t that hot. I actually didn’t close, I couldn’t even be bothered taking her number, I just told her to email me. With a bit of work I could easily have got something. In the rain and the dark, between blow outs, I can feel myself calibrating. The girls were actually interested, they wanted to talk, they really wanted to talk, I was just doing something slightly wrong. We then got lucky, the rain stopped and the sun came out (for a while). The rain dried, the girls came out and were more willing to stop. Plus we’d done our trial by rain. The chains were off. I followed up with 5 more opens and number closed 4 of them. One was a not very cute rock and roll type chick. No vox on this video. Didn’t turn mic on. It's on the video diary. The next was much better. The best set of the holiday so far. She was tall, slim and very hot. In the video she doesn’t look it, but she was. She’s a hard-on by any man’s standards. Again, I could see interest and it wasn’t quite sticking, she walked off, left me, she was 5 to 10 metres away and I said ‘If you walk off now, you’ll never see me again’, I didn’t move, I stepped back and she turned and came back to me. We didn’t get that part on film, Krauser was moving position at that time. Number closed. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2EYV7IeRGA&fs=1&hl=en_GB] You think this is a bad set? I didn’t get her number, only her email. Nope. I have dated so many girls off exactly this kind of set. As I type these words now I am actually talking to her on Facebook back here in Hampstead. This is a prime candidate for long game, a very likely girlfriend for the next trip out there. With this blog of mine, time will tell if I am right or not. I have been right in the past, but let’s see on my next trip to Croatia who I date and who I fail to date. This next one kept urging me to take her number as she furtively glanced at the horizon. I kept prattling on with my DHV stories until eventually her friends turned up and she was unable to hand me her number in front of them. Lesson learnt. I didn’t care tough really. No vox on this video, didn’t turn mic on. It was getting dark, I did my final day game open. This was probably my favourite of the holiday. Her energy was so lovely. At one point she asked me to go for a drink with her, I think... but I felt, with a girl like that, it was disaster to follow her like a puppy dog, it was too early to jump that hoop, better to be aloof and long game her. I email closed her. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnL9ZnQ6t6k&fs=1&hl=en_GB] Krauser had done some similarly good work. We bounced back to Spyder’s, Spyder was by this time sold on the legitimacy of what we were doing. Not that we cared about that. We KNOW the legitimacy of what we’re doing. We were just laughing as we fed him red pills. The stats were OK now. Lots of fun conversations with hot girls, they were laughing, giving out numbers. But that was it, they weren’t yet responding to us, no dates and no lays. All long game, which is good, very good. If you can get 20 girls on long game, you will date 10 of them. To anyone watching with any sense of reason, we were not far from unlocking this Croatian city. We got ready and in the pouring rain went out to a Spanish nightclub. Our second shot at nightgame. We were getting constant IOIs. We just go smashed at the bar. We were leaning back against the bar, ignoring everything, talking only to each other. Spyder was there with his Croat girlfriend. At one point early on the girls from Alcatraz saw us and came over. They were all over us. Like I said, they were just pawns, we let them socially proof us. Krauser opened a set of old girls at one point, he got them laughing and at this point the place went IOI crazy.  There weren’t many cute girls in the bar but there were a few. One of the best picks was a brunette stood by the bar. Krauser saw her but was too far away to do anything; ‘Jimmy, Jimmy, open her, quickly’ ‘Do I have to, I’m happy just...’ ‘OPEN HER NOW’ So I opened, told her I noticed that her handbag was enormous. After that it was standard game. Push pull, DHV, like something non physical about her, go into to comfort, escalate sexually. Number close. Give her a silly name (Jelly). Date arranged for tomorrow afternoon. I then joined Krauser’s set. He was working a target or sorts, not his type but it was getting late, the place was emptying and we were drunk and just wanted fun. He asked me to entertain the obstacle, who was a fairly OK Spanishy looking girl called Ivona. They took us to a bar called Papagaya. It was in here I felt adventure truly for the first time. It was like Mos Isley port in Star Wars. It was all men. Tough looking Croat guys. It was on the outskirts of town and we didn’t belong. Now I like a fight, but I was damn pleased I had Krauser with me, an ex boxer who could easily take a couple down without thinking about it. We bought drinks, sat on settees and stretched out with our women. We were getting looks but nothing untoward happened. Krauser took his home, I left mine and went home about 4am. Day Three: Opens: 16 Closes: 6 Dates: 1 (Ivona, a bouce but...) In orbit: 2 (Jelly and Model) Open to Close ratio: 37.5% Notes: At this point I have two models, one Jelly and an Ivona closed and locked down in my phone for follow up, decent leads for long game. Hot girls too. I’d leave it for a day and contact them. The two models I had decided to call and tell them I was too busy to meet. I have used that gambit before and it worked a dream. I held their names in my phone, which was to turn out to be a big mistake.
