Treinwrak Casanova – B1

Hoofstuk 5: Leer uit ervaring

Oor die volgende paar weke het Steve voortgegaan om vroue aanlyn sowel as van aangesig tot aangesig te bekoor. Alhoewel hy vasbeslote was, het hy baie verwerpings en ongemaklike situasies in die gesig gestaar. Hy het egter nie moed opgegee nie en het besluit om raad te vra by sy gunsteling optelkunstenaarsforums.

Steve: "Ek sukkel regtig om sukses met vroue te vind. Ek het verskillende tegnieke probeer, maar ek word steeds afgekeur. Kan iemand my raad gee oor hoe om te verbeter?"

PickupMaster99: "Hou aan, maat. Onthou, dit gaan alles daaroor om baie te probeer. Hoe meer jy probeer, hoe beter is jou kanse. En moenie vergeet om ook aan jou selfvertroue te werk nie - dit is baie belangrik."

TrainLover44: "Ek verstaan, Steve. Ek is ook 'n trein-entoesias, en dit is nie maklik om vroue te vind wat van ons stokperdjie hou nie. Wees net geduldig en hou aan probeer."

Steve het aangemoedig gevoel en besluit om sy strategie te verander. In plaas daarvan om net optellyne en truuks te gebruik, het hy meer op sy werklike belangstellings en persoonlikheidseienskappe begin fokus.

Een aand, terwyl hy Hinge gebruik het, het hy met 'n vrou met die naam Emily gepas. Haar profiel het gesê sy hou van reis en geskiedenis, en Steve het besluit om 'n nuwe benadering met haar te probeer.

Steve: "Hallo, Emily. Ek het gesien jy hou van geskiedenis en reis. Het jy geweet dat die spoorlyn 'n groot rol gespeel het in die vorming van moderne Brittanje? Dit is regtig interessant om te leer hoe treine ons samelewing verander het."

Emily: "Hallo, Steve! Ek het nie gedink ek sal 'n bietjie geskiedenisles kry nie, maar ek stel belang. Ek het nog altyd van die Industriële Revolusie gehou, en ek kan sien hoe treine 'n groot deel daarvan was. Doen Het jy enige gunsteling historiese treine of spoorlyne?"

Steve kon nie glo hoe gelukkig hy was nie. Hy het opgewonde sy kennis van ou treine en hul impak op die Britse samelewing gedeel. Tot sy verbasing het Emily baie geïnteresseerd gelyk, en hulle het gou gereël om vir 'n koffie te ontmoet.

Terwyl Steve gereed gemaak het vir sy afspraak met Emily, het hy 'n mengsel van opgewondenheid en senuwees gevoel. Hy het geweet hy het nog baie om te leer in sy reis om 'n suksesvolle optelkunstenaar te word, maar vir die eerste keer het hy gevoel dat hy vordering maak. Hy het nie geweet dit was net die begin van die opwindende reis wat voorlê nie.

Chapter 5: Learning from Experience

Over the next few weeks, Steve carried on trying to charm women both online and face to face. Although he was determined, he faced many rejections and uncomfortable situations. He didn't give up, however, and decided to ask for advice from his favourite pick-up artist forums.

Steve: "I'm really having a hard time finding success with women. I've tried different techniques, but I keep getting turned down. Can anyone give me some advice on how to improve?"

PickupMaster99: "Keep going, mate. Remember, it's all about trying a lot. The more you try, the better your chances. And don't forget to work on your self-confidence too – it's very important."

TrainLover44: "I understand, Steve. I'm also a train enthusiast, and it's not easy finding women who like our hobby. Just be patient and keep trying."

Feeling encouraged, Steve decided to change his strategy. Instead of only using pick-up lines and tricks, he started focusing more on his real interests and personality traits.

One evening, while using Hinge, he matched with a woman named Emily. Her profile said she liked travel and history, and Steve decided to try a new approach with her.

Steve: "Hi, Emily. I saw you like history and travelling. Did you know that the railway played a big role in shaping modern Britain? It's really interesting to learn about how trains changed our society."

Emily: "Hi, Steve! I didn't think I'd get a little history lesson, but I'm interested. I've always liked the Industrial Revolution, and I can see how trains were a big part of that. Do you have any favourite historical trains or railway lines?"

Steve couldn't believe how lucky he was. He excitedly shared his knowledge of old trains and their impact on British society. To his surprise, Emily seemed really interested, and they soon arranged to meet for a coffee.

As Steve got ready for his date with Emily, he felt a mix of excitement and nerves. He knew he still had a lot to learn in his journey to becoming a successful pick-up artist, but for the first time, he felt that he was making progress. He didn't know that this was just the start of the exciting journey that lay ahead.
