I'm reading through The Game for the second time now and this time I'm taking notes, as well as reading through this forum for the first time.
My sticking points are the approach and K close. It's funny because sometimes women are naturally attracted to me and I exude confidence and other nights I simply can't summon the courage to approach. I'm certain alcohol is playing a role.
I'm trying to put together a cheat sheet, but realize it won't do me any good without the balls to approach. I'm also have trouble transitioning into demonstrating value. What comes between that and the opener? Do I use an alias when asked my name? My real name is Dane, but I have been getting odd reactions when I've given Fox as my name.
I'm also much more anxious about approaching sets as opposed to single targets.
Anyway, good to be here and all help is greatly appreciated!

First off, why the fuck is your name fox.

Second off....the reactions you get from introducing yourself as fox can be controlled.

So...lets say you open. When they ask for your name (do not just give it to them, they need to want it), say "Well.....you can call me Fox". If your body language is good then they will ask, Fox? or inquire about the nickname.

You can then go into a DHV story on how you got the nickname, make up a good one.

I use the name Ace when I am gaming - then if they earn it, I give my real name with a close. The nickname and story need to fit your personality in order to work.

Good luck.
