Then she went, yeah, I can't leave him here, sorry. So no instant dates or Same Day Lays, but mainly cause of my own inexperience. But comparing this to the other convention I went to in May, my game got a lot better. One thing I learned is that girls are much more willing to give up something like their battle tag rather than their phone numbers, and I set up a date with a cute girl (18 or 19) over battle net. One girl blocked me after I unapologetically teased her about drinking so much alcohol, when it was her that bragged about it by sending me a picture of a bottle of her Jägermeister. Then she went "you always make me out to be an alcoholic". Weird. One interesting thing I learned is that the best way to approach girls at places like Gamescom, because so many girls are there with their boyfriends or in groups, is to pick out girls that are sitting down leaned next to a wall near some kind of booth. Because they are often waiting for their friends, who got in line, and they sometimes have to wait there for an hour or two. They appreciate conversations a lot, because they are bored as hell. And it is a good way of talking to her alone. And talking to girls in queues obviously, cause you have a lot of time to talk, but it's rare that there is a cute girl in range when standing in a line of a game that you wanna play. I talked to a cute french cosplayer, got the battletag of a cute german cosplayer, talked to all sorts of girls, some with boyfriends, some solo. Only problem is a lot of them come from far away, so either the bang happens over those Gamescom days, or it probably doesn't happen. Or you enter long game and meet up at some other con or something. So all in all, it was interesting and I learned a lot. But the last few days were lazy, caught a cold, I have to get a bit more active again, but I also wanna focus on some non-game stuff. Trying to get into creating videogames right now, I already have some basic knowledge. Once made a racing game with a group of people as a project for university. So I have to get my ass up and sink my teeth into that. Watching Jordan B. Peterson videos motivates me a lot.
Anyway, how was your day, honey?
