The Birds is based on the idea of having wingmen (preferably multiple, but not 7 that's way too much). The wingmen strategy can take up to a month, as both wingmen must befriend the target and then subliminally enter your name into the conversation. Target then says what they feel about you (most people say negative things). That's where the wingman patches things up. That's the beginning. Seven Birds follows seven months, you'd get to a first date type situation around month two.

Me:"who will be my wingman though?"
