So It's been quite a while since the last time I went sarging, about 5 months. Went to a mall to buy some winter clothes day before yesterday. Reached the mall early and decided to open some sets before my friends could join me for shopping. Earlier I was staying in a hostel where girls were not allowed, consequently logistics was my biggest hurdle. And also, I must say that I got a little disheartened after too many flakes. Apart from that, my work took away hell lot of time and energy. But I just moved to an apartment couple of weeks back where I have my own bedroom and can bring whoever I want.

Did about 8-10 sets and got 4 number closes. And by doing that I somewhat surprised myself . I thought I would have to struggle a little but after a couple of sets I was exactly where I had left. I will say it’s a good thing as well as a bad thing, bad because I didn’t improve much in the last few months and good because at least I didn’t deteriorate. Did try for instant dates with the number closes but all of them declined. Could have gotten a couple more numbers but I chickened out, may be because the girls were too cute!

My goal as of now is to:

1. Go out to sarge at least once a week. And open sets wherever there is an opportunity or IOI(Like if the girl gives me eye contact)
2. Develop a stack of routines that can go on for about 30 minutes.
3. Get 5 Day2s by the end of Feb and take it as far as possible.
4. Keep adding to my list of situational openers


PS: Called up 2 of them. First one(which I thought was a solid number close) didn’t answer phone or text. Another one said she is busy today and I asked her about Saturday and she said she will let me know later(I am guessing she too is going to flake on me). So it seems like I am kinda stuck. I am teasing, bantering, making the girls laugh but getting no further than a number close. I will say that only thing that has been missing is a little kino.

I honestly hope you are right

My First Day 2 in a long time.

Had number closed a girl in my office 3-4 days back. Went out with her yesterday. Brought her home during the start of the date with an excuse of dropping some stuff at home. Now she had asked earlier not to do anything 'wrong' with her when she is at my place as we have met just a couple of days back and she hardly knows me, so I didn't try anything. Just gentle touching. Thereafter it went quite well, kinoed the hell out of her. Overt hand holding(with our finger crossed), put my hand around her waist a number of times, touched the small of her back, her hair and face, kissed her hand but couldn't kiss close. She kept moving her lips away saying it's too early. During the entire time we were having fun and i was trying to be aware of how I was feeling about whatever I was doing and everything that was happening. Sometimes I was a little dominant, sometimes a little submissive. I also felt very caring and protective of her during our time together(She later said later that I am a very caring person).

She called me up today and wanted to meet up. But I declined as I already had plans with other friends. But we are definitely meeting soon

Nice job . . .

Read your "How to get numbers" thread one more time. Of the two things that I suggested, you probably do the "raise excitement for day 2" concept well. This is why the office girl went out with you. How is the office girl different from strangers?

She knows where you work. She's knows other people that know both of you. You have accountability. You can't just F her up and run away. She won't get teased that she's dating some random guy that she just met. She won't receive "warnings" from her friends about dating some random guy. She won't look like some desperate slut who is accepting dates from a total random guy.

It's your job to make every girl as comfortable as the office girl is with you. Especially in an environment where 'random' meeting/dating is not part of mainstream culture, you'll have to work on this even more. Anything that you can do to link the girl to you with common people you both know, common experiences, common pasts, common passions would be a good thing. Even if you have both gone to the same coffee shop one time, you could bring up, "Hey, was that really tall guy working when you went? He makes a really good cappuccino." Lower her risks as MUCH as possible. You'll definitely figure this out.

It looks like you're heading to 'boyfriend/girlfriend' territory . . .
