hey tmt! remember the 6 aproaches i was planning? that turned out to be a great day! did 3 tiny ones (random people, none of em hb's) before work, which was great though! as soon as i was at work i was super social with everyone. people even commented on my energy level (which could have been a bit lower but hey ) we talked a lot and towards the evening they asked me if i wanna join them for a beer. I said yeah, why not. So we started walking over to the bar eventually. While walking i see ths hb8. Not my type but who cares. Run after her and open confidently, with pauses and a big and honest smile (if i may say so myself ) with "hey... I saw you back there... And i had tn say hi (enormous smile)." it worked great. We talked for max 5min but exchanged numbers. I could tell she was attracted to me.. Or atleast she loved my aproach! what also helped was that while we talked two coworkers of mine passed us and asked me if im coming. So there you have it texted her the next day with a dhv and that i had to think of her. The text was "hey katie! Im sitting outside with some friends and having a magnum, so i felt like writing you:) andy". Texted back and forth for a bit... Lots of value;) texted the next day as well and got her facebook. Damn shes hotter than i remembered amazing what a little bit of eyeliner does to a girl on the pictures. Anyway texted briefly today again and asked her out for thursday. Text was like this: me: "what you doing thursday nite?" she: "no plans yet:) what do you have in mind" me: "perfect. Got alot of work to do this week but ill be going out with some colleagues after work. Probably somewhere on the promenade. It would be awesome if you'd come!" she said she' love to so i closed the conversation: "sounds great:) we'll be in touch" she answered, cool, smiley, bla. Didnt reply to that. Soooo that happened couple of hours ago. lets see where this is headed huh? thats it on my end. Keep the progress reports coming and do more than just 3 sets! 3 sets is when you just got warm:) take care brother! Andy

Day 11

Approaches: 3
Numbers: 1
Lays: 0

Finally got a number today yee! It's been a while since I've had some real success because before I started my journal I was in and out of the doctors and hospital for a month and am finally getting back to normal. Onto today..

First approach was on the bus on the way to campus. The girl I was sitting next to was reading a book and just made a comment on that. HB 5.5. Was really out of state during the first set.

Second set was at the library on campus. I did an approach that I learned from somewhere I read from someone else's report but I forget who. Anywho I sat down next to an HB 7 and just went focused on my work for a couple minutes not paying the least bit attention to her. Then I asked her to watch my stuff while I went to the bathroom. Came back and said thanks and asked her what she was working on. Works like a charm Struggled a little bit at first with too much comfort but then crossed over into dhv and a little teasing and she ate it up. Number close.

Third set was later in the library. It was with an HB 5. I thought she was a lot more attractive when I sat down but her face ruined her Oh well. Still ran an opener and started a short thread on travel but ejected after that. Still a good interaction.

I know I need to make more approaches and my bare minimum for the day is 3 right now. I definitely will approach more when I get more free time on my hands. Looking forward to tomorrow

Day 12

Approaches: 5
Numbers: 1
Lays: 0

Today was another successful day in at least getting a number close although I feel like I could've done better. I have way more energy and enthusiasm when I'm with people I know yet at the same time I'm not really sure how to have a buddy wing in day game. For instance, if I start talking to a girl and my friend is there I usually feel obligated to introduce him but then I can't control the threads and the DHVs as much as I would if I'm alone.

Anywho onto today. Three of my approaches started well but didn't go anywhere. One of the girls just had really closed off body language but was very polite and nice. Another one was a hired gun and my gameplan was blown once she said she wasn't a hair stylist as that's what my opener was on. And the other one was a girl who left quickly after talking to her because she had to catch the bus. Poop.

The two approaches that were successful were both reopens. One was a girl from an earlier post HB 5.5 (day and I caught up with her for a little while and she literally gave me her phone number. I wasn't even trying to get it! haha. Then the other approach was a reopen with a HB 7 from a bread store I recently went into earlier in the week. My buddy and I brightened her boring work day up as we chatted with her for close to 15 mins. Unfortunately I saw her later in the evening with a bf who's super rich. Murr. Still going to try and close next time with inviting them two to a birthday party this weekend.

I just reread my journal and I realize that I learn good techniques/rules but I forget to use them after a couple days. So I need to make sure I smile more and do warm up sets. Also, I need to expand my social circle and social life as this will be a giant DHV during night game. Over and out.

Day 13

Approaches: 5
Numbers: 0
Lays: 0

Ha cha cha! I only made 5 approaches, one during the day and four during the night. No numbers but had some successful interactions.

1: Day game approach on the bus. Sat unknowingly next to HB 7.5. We started talking and she seemed like a really cool girl, as in one of the coolest girls I've met here since she's so down to earth. Unfortunately I didn't have any warm up sets prior and I had to literally run to catch the bus so my game wasn't firing on all cylinders but I did enough things right to generate some attraction. I didn't go for the number close on purpose because she apparently takes the same bus every morning so I'll be seeing her in the future and that's when I'll close when I'm on my game more.

2 & 3: My buddy and I at night did our picture routine opener. Got some decent pictures but the sets went cold pretty quickly.

4: Saw an HB 6 just standing by herself so I caught her eye, gave her a big smile, and went up and hugged her. We talked for a little bit and had a good interaction. I'll get to her in a sec.

5. An HB 6.5 on the dance floor. Same opener as before, big smile approach and hug. Did a little bit of dancing and went well before she went to find her friends.

I then reopened the HB 6 on the dance floor and did a little dancing then she went to the bathroom and her friend who was also an HB 6 started dancing with me and that went really well. Wasn't even trying to take her home, I actually took her outside and was like I need to go with my friend but somehow she ended up coming back with me. Once back I was exhausted (around 5am) and I knew either I had to bring my A game with seduction to get a lay or get to sleep. I chose the latter haha. She wasn't that attractive but she did clean my apartment for some reason woot woot! I will never understand girls but hey you clean my place or cook me food and I'm a happy camper. Ended up calling her a taxi and she took off but still was able to get pretty physical before she took off. Didn't bother for the number because I think I can do better and she's only her for one more night (visiting her friend).

Things to take from today: Smiling and going straight for the hug has worked really well for me. I need to keep on doing it and tighten my game up even more with stacking after that. Have a friends birthday tonight so it should be a fun one

TMT

Awesome work man. I enjoy reading all your posts so keep em coming! By the way what country are you from??

Thanks man! I'm originally from the states but I'm currently in oz at the moment. Onto last night..

Day 14

Approaches: 3
Numbers: 0

What a night! Both in a good way and a bad way. So usually I'm one for not drinking too much that way I remember everything and my skills are more honed. However, it was one of my good mate's birthday, and needless to say things got sloppy pretty quick. There were six of us last night and we put down a box of goon, a 24 pack of beer, then another box of goon (for those who don't know goon, consider yourself lucky. It's extremely cheap white wine made from who knows where that tastes like dirt yet packs a punch.) Needless to say we were sufficiently drunk considering before even going out we broke a lamp, tripped and fell while walking, and took pictures that I have no recollection of.

Anyways, we decided to all wear kilts and go out to the bars which got us a ton of attention. It was great that I didn't even have to open. Girls constantly asked or pointed at me and I just went up and talked to them. Granted it was always asking questions about the kilt, but it was great to have friendly conversations with a good amount of people. Definitely a fan of peacocking while drunk. Lots of fun. So I put down three approaches because that's what I remember although I talked to more.

1: The first set was with a hb 7.5 milf. She had two kids. We got to talking then I realized that the husband she was mentioning was sitting across the table haha. I introduced myself to him and I found out they were taking a night off from the kids for a night out. They were pretty cool people and I ejected.

2: I'm at the bar with my mates when two girls start pointing at me hb 6 and hb 4. So I go over and tell them enough with this pointing what's going on over here. They were nice girls but the hb 4 was the one into me so I tried to turn it around by introducing the birthday boy to her. Unfortunately when I did this the hb 6 walked to the dance floor. Oh well. I ejected after that.

3: Same thing as before, two girls start pointing at me although they're attractive hb 7 and hb 6.5. We get to talking and I find out they from London and doing some traveling. I ejected after a little bit to get back to my friends.

There were a lot more sets but those are the ones I remember with some clarity. Also, one of the friends we were with was an hb 7 so I ended up going back to her place last night. Not considering it an approach but I did use things to get her that I learned such as being the leader of the group, DHVing whenever possible, and paying her the least amount of attention in the beginning. Anyways, it was a good night although no more drinking for a while.


Week 2 Totals

Approaches: 23
Numbers: 2
Lays: 0

This week I fared a lot better than last week. I'm really happy that my number of approaches went up and I hit my goal of at least 20, as that's the most important figure to me . Also, I was able to grab 2 numbers which is a good start. My skill set is improving and I think the main ingredient for success is getting myself in state by doing warm up sets. My goal for this next week is to hit 25 approaches.

Day 15

Aproaches: 3
Numbers: 0
Lays: 0

I took a couple days off to recharge the batteries as well as work on some much needed school work. it was a nice day back to the game after a couple days off and I did 3 approaches with 1 solid one that didn't turn my way. Onto today:

1: First approach was in the library on campus. Opened well and got a smile but failed to transition properly. Tried to reopen once more but missed my opportunity.

2: Second approach was a receptionist. I opened with just asking for some help but transitioned nicely. I started into attraction but left it at that because she wasn't that attractive.

3: On the bus sat down next to an hb 7. Had a sexy accent from north eastern Europe. Seemed like a cool girl and was mixing in attraction and comfort after transitioning. Unfortunately, right when I was changing threads so I could get her number her phone rang and it was her friends she was meeting up with. After the phone call she got off at the next stop so I didn't have the time to run my next thread.

Thing to take from today is to run more attraction, teasing, and banter routines to get a better hook. Also, I now have a solid closing routine I've developed that I'm going to field test tomorrow. Woot woot!

Day 16

Approaches: 0

What?! No approaches??? I know I know, guilty as charged. Today was just an off day. Couldn't get the social momentum going and when I finally did get it in full gear fate turned its back on me. I was waiting for the bus for school after work and it never came as I had an hair app on campus. I had to call and cancel. My gameplan originally was to do all my approaches there, and although I had a couple opportunities today I just wasn't in gear like I usually am. It's a disappointment personally, but I think I'll be okay because it will give me a ton of motivation tomorrow during both day and night.

Just a few thoughts I've had after reading some posts on the forums. Social circle game = game changer. I didn't bother making a huge amount of female friends when I came here because I could go out and meet people at the bars every night. At the time I just didn't care but now I realize social circles help you out in so many ways. When I return to the states I'm going to focus on increasing my social circles and befriending more girls. Anyways, tomorrow's post is going to be really great I can already feel it. Till tomorrow

TMT

I might steal your idea and try this myself.
So how did you feel going out and approaching on Day 10 versus Day 1?

Day 17

Approaches: 5
Numbers: 0
Lays: 0

Yesterday I was able to get in some approaches and although I didn't get any numbers I did learn some key things. Let's debrief.

1: I got a haircut and my hairdresser was a solid hb 7.5. I know there's always the hairdresser questions like how are you, where are you from, but I started the conversation by me asking the questions and steering the conversation into travel. It was a solid interaction but it wasn't enough to break out of her usual frame as a hired gun. Next time I'm on campus I'll swing by and say hello.

2: HB 6.5 on the bus. Sat down next to her and opened with a situational opener "You just get off work?" as she still had her work clothes on. Asked about her work and such for a little bit then transitioned and I focused on building comfort. I didn't worry too much about attraction because I wanted to build my comfort skills as well as I got the feeling that she was in a relationship. Anyways, it was successful as I found that talking about tv shows that we both watch was great for laughing and conversation. Also, asking what she does for fun then clarifying if you had a day you could do anything what would it be? This hones in on what interests her and I get to see how much I really like the girl. It's also qualification as I can reward her for telling me unique details about herself. Anywho, at the end of the interaction I said it was nice meeting her and shook her hand and realized she was married but never even mentioned it.

3-5: Night approaches were not successful. I wasn't able to transition into any meaningful routines. I realize that although the camera opener and the direct smile and hug approach are successful for me, I need to really work on my night game more to be more successful. I feel that I'm getting a lot better at day game and can do pretty well but night game needs more work. Here's to tonight.

Cheers

TMT

what are you doing? all I see is zeros. wtf O_o

please stop you are hurting my eyes.
can't you see whatever you are doing it's not working? you need to learn a bit more before taking action. you don't start writing a book if you don't even known how to read.
make yourself a favour and stop. stop and learn something BEFORE you go pick up.
sure practice makes perfect but first you really need to learn some basic stuff.
you rate of success is 0%. the only few numbers you got it was not because of your skills I bet those girls would have gave the number to any AFC too.
you are just wasting your time. please invest your time in something more productive like reading a shitload of topics and books.
I absolutely guarantee that if you stop for a week to learn something and if you read a couple books and some topics that after that your rate of success will start to increase.

Ignore everything in this ^ post.

You don't become a professional baseball player by reading books, you do it with practice and hustle, and clearly you've shown that in spades. Sometimes, I can't even use some the volumes of material I've read let alone go past a couple of sentences. You're on the right track, only YOU know if you're doing better, not statistics. You get to the Hall of Fame by batting .300, that means that 7 times out of 10 at bats you're going to strike out, if not horribly and miserably. Remember that, and forget what this other guy wrote.

^^^^ Thank you MaleNurse for your support. To answer your question I hardly get AA anymore compared to day 1 because of the approaches. The first couple days I was really nervous and my voice was a little shaky on approaches but now I'm cool calm and collected. Also, everything slows down more for me and my ability to have a great reaction from a girl is improving a lot. If you start your own journal it would be great to bounce ideas off each other. Lastly, thank you for the support I'm a big fan of positivity.

To address mr. negativity above. I understand that you have your own opinions and viewpoints, which is completely valid. I just ask that you convey your opinions in a positive constructive criticism manner. To address your points made, I already have read plenty and too much information at once isn't a good thing for me personally. I've read the game, mystery method, magic bullets, and listened/watched tyler durden and gambler. I know theory and routines and I've incorporated them into my approaches. My rate of success in statistics is low but my skill set has increased tremendously and I've had numbers and lays during this time from meeting people through social circle that have happened because of these skills. I don't write about my social circle just cold approaches.

Onto yesterday

Day 18

Approaches: 4

Last night was a great night. We went to a house party with a friend from one of my classes. We decided to peacock and wear a lot of glow in the dark necklaces and we dubbed the night as laser night show.

I don't have time to go into the specifics of everything that happened because I'm actually going out right now but I had 4 approaches with girls I didn't know. I had some great reactions and there were some sexy girls. An hb 6 that I wasn't into too much tried to bring me home but I declined because I'm focusing on increasing my standards and success. The great thing about last night was that I increased my social circle by a lot and it'll help me for going out at night because I'll be the alpha male as well as having more pivots. Wish me luck for tonight! Yeeeoow!

TMT

Hey Big ups for your journal! Very inspirational. I might steal your idea for my own journal for how many approaches and such I do/get per day, it will foce me to get out and get at least something on the board each day.
I have AA and am just about to begin getting out there to overcome the approach. I can't wait for the confidence I will feel in the future, I already know that one day I will look back to how I am feeling now, and feel a little sorry for myself.

Keep it up mate, I hope you throw a number in the "lays" column soon!
