Today was my first daygame session in Warsaw. I was meeting my wing in the late afternoon, so I decided I would do some warm up sets at the Złote Tarasy mall.

The session started slow as I was battling some expected AA while adopting to my new surroundings. Though soon, I reached a good vibe that lasted throughout the rest of the day.

About two hours in, I treated myself on a coffee break at the Costa near the mall’s entrance. I took a table near the escalator that granted maximum visibility on the foot traffic. There were three free chairs.

As I returned with my coffee, one of the chairs was occupied by a girl in her late twenties, with dark hair and a slightly tanned skin. I sat down, telling her that I just went inside to pick up my coffee. She excused herself and said she would just roll herself a cigarette and leave.

I actually fancied her. She had a small nose piercing that was so tiny, it didn’t look trashy (as they usually do). Even though I was on a break, I opened her indirectly to see how she’d react: “Excuse me, I was wondering why you’re rolling a cigarette instead of just buying a pack, given that they’re so cheap in Poland.” She smiled and said she liked the sensation of smoking without a filter - so I pegged her as an adventurous girl. I used to be a heavy smoker so we vibed quite a bit on our destructive habit.

Turns out she was an Israeli from Tel Aviv who visited Warsaw for a Taylor Swift concert. I probed her logistics and to my dismay her plane was leaving today at 9 pm. It was only 3 pm at the time, so we exchanged contacts but didn’t expect much of it.

She responded well to my feeler text and seeded a date by asking me “what are you up to?”. This sparked my interest, so I proposed to meet later for a drink close to the mall. About an hour later, I bumped into her again at the mall and invited her to get a drink. She happily agreed and, after dropping her shopping bags at her sister who was sitting at Costa, we ventured outside. We sat at this restaurant next to the Hard Rock Café and got ourselves a glass of wine.

She was intrigued by me approaching her and quickly identified me as a player. I didn’t deny I “like talking to girls on the streets”, which made her giggle. I loved being so open about being a pick up artist. When I was just starting out, I was afraid of being “found out”. We were sitting outside and the conversation got sexual pretty quickly: we talked past relationships, dating, and her quitting smoking once she got pregnant. In the meantime, my wing had just walked past us and texted that he saw us sitting together and would do some sets in the meantime.

I noticed she started to get cold so I invited her inside. We moved to an L-shaped couch in the back corner of the restaurant. As she moved in, I deliberately sat next to her so that our thighs were touching. “You’re doing that on purpose, don’t you?” she giggled. I agreed, adding that I would try to bounce her to my apartment nearby, if only she didn’t have her flight. She laughed and said that there would be no sex today. I parried by stating that I will have kissed her by the end of the date. She laughed again.

I gave it a couple of minutes of escalating kino, then went for the kiss. She reciprocated, first timidly, then enthusiastically. We downed our wines, then ordered another glass, and flirted some more while she rolled her cigarette. By 6 pm we said each other goodbye and I went to do a few more laps around the mall with my wing.

All I can look back on 9 sets, one instant date with a kiss-close. Not a bad start for my first day of my first Polish Eurojaunt.
