Biography:

My name is Nick, I live in Belgium and i'm 22 years old.
In my years of what seemed to be my endless youth I became a huge computer nerd and dropped school to become a professional gamer. After 2.5 years of investing i ended up with nothing. My social skills were horrible, i had no friends and i had nothing that made me, me. I got absolutely tired with the way i lived and that's when i got in touch with this forum.
I started studying pick up 3 years ago with the mindset of meeting as much women as possible. About 2 years of practice I met a girl that i considered ''the one'' and we started dating for 7 months. Eventually I took the big swing from the hammer and we broke up in a matter of days. Eventually i reflected on the situation and it was thanks to the fact that i became the defination of AFC.
Untill short, i have decided to approach this in a different manner and not only study all of this for women, but do it to improve every aspect on my life. I'm here to share my stories and keep a journal of my journey throughout this whole process. My goal is to get as far as life has to offer me and become a true man!

Hope you enjoy the read!

Day 1 - Beginning of a new life:

Summerfestival, time to rock the scene!
(This post is mainly based on confidence and what it brings along. After these i will be posting more about PU in general)

Goals:
There were 2 goals that i had in mind before i entered the festival:

1) Enjoy my time, dont think, just go out there and have fun!
2) Create and take every opportunity i could to be social, to pump my confidence and to furthur push my limits.


In field day 1:

* We took initiative and started dancing really hard, the entire group joined, the rest of the people started joining and we eventually got filmed. later that night we got the opportunity to enjoy our ridiculous faces on TV (Something that just happends when we get pumped, haha!) We also got interviewed by one of the biggest news-station in Belgium!

* I spotted 2 HB9's dancing very sexually, they were constantly holding eye-contact.
I told myself not to get involved in Pick-up during the festival cause i knew myself, eventually they were pointing at us and wanted to copy our dance.
I decided to show them but they couldn't pull it off, haha! Despite that they still cheered for us and kept smiling. Eventually as the night ended they waved to me and yelled goodbye. This is when i thought to myself, fuck it, i'm going for it. I turned my ass around, ran after her and took her by the shoulder. She was very surprised and after 5 seconds of realisation she gave me the smile, i gave her a smile back and told her to meet us at the same place the day after. She smiled back and happily said ''We will see you there at 12!''. I felt really good for doing this!

* One of the MC's came out to give autographs and as expected everyone pretty much jumped on him begging to get a sign. I felt like pulling something original so i just pulled my shirt up and told him to sign between my tits, the guy laughed, made a gay-ish gesture and signed, after that he gave me a handshake. After the festival i dropped him a message on facebook thanking him for the night and got a response back telling me how happy he was for hearing that. Next time, we're grabbing a beer!

* One of my mates was in contact with the girlfriend of one of the biggest names in the hardstyle scene (Tatanka). Eventually we asked her if it was possible to meet Tatanka since we enjoy his style a lot, suddenly my mate gets a text-message telling us to meet up at the left side of the event and guess who was there, TATANKA BABY! We had a quick conversation with him, sharing some words and had a blast, took a picture and parted our ways! This guy was super nice!

* At some point, we see another camera passing and 5 HB10's all dressed half naked in really sexy clothes. they were organizing some kind of game that required you to jump as many times as possible over a robe made of combined t-shirts. There were 100's of people watching but nobody had the courage to jump in and play the game. I immediatly jumped in without thinking and started pulling some crazy jumps, everyone was cheering, laughing and eventually more people started joining!

* We gave it all we could, we rocked the dancefloor so hard that our energie was depleted. Redbull nor pasta or smoothies could give us any energie but yet we would still dance, dance and dance. It was amazing and the energie and confidence it gave me was tremendous. I really wanted to create a mentality of fuck it, i wont go give! What i didn't forget though was that we still had one of these 12 hour body-rapes to go through the next day.. Haha!


What have i learnt (Positive)?


* Do what you want to do, seriously.. DO IT! bringing up excuses not to do something will make you feel better for the moment, but trust me, eventually your confidence will drop like a brick. If you do it, your confidence will skyrocket and people will love you for it!
* Take initiative, if people aint dancing, doesn't mean dancing is forbidden. Be the man to lead and people will respect you.
* Stop thinking, the entire festival i litterally followed my gut and it has given me so much satisfaction and respect.
* Creativity = respect.
* Focus on yourself. If you focus on gaming girls, it will become to much of a stress-factor. If you focus on improving yourself.. By talking to girls, things will suddenly become MUCH easier.
* When a girl shows any form of interest (looking at you, eye-contact, smiling) just go out there and talk to her.
* A simple ''Hi'' with a good smile is the most secure and safest openers. So far i have yet to see a girl ignoring me with this one.
* Confidence truely is key to everything, during day 1 i had so many people come to me.. Hb8-10's.. Alpha's.. Camera?.. Just because i was shitting confidence.
* Don't become a jerk - Just because you get attention and people respect you doesn't mean you have to become a cocky shithead. Be on mutual grounds with people and it will pay off twice as hard.

What have i learnt (negative)?

Nothing yet, my day was absolutely great.

Day 2: Summerfestival, round 2! Time to invest a bit in PU!

12 o'clock.. Will we meet, or not?


Goals:

* Today i wanted exactly the same as yesterday. Enjoy the festival, give it my all and push my limits!
* Search for opportunities to meet girls.
* Work on my kino/escalation - a problem i have been having for a while.


In field day 2:

* During our way back from Summerfestival to home i made a bet with a friend.
He wouldn't believe me that these girls would show up. Why would they he wondered?
They were really hot, they drew a shitton of attention and had a bunch of alpha's surrounding them.
I was confident that they would because of the IoI's that they gave and because i had the feeling that i handled this situation perfectly.



* So we arrived at 12, we were squeezing our way through to the place we were supposed to meet with these girls and BAM.. The girls showed up! I waved at them and they waved back, i threw a smile and opened my arms, 5 seconds later one of them runs to me, jumps me and puts me between her legs, i couldn't help but full great and somehow.. Baffled!
We got to know eachother, i did some great kino by holding both of their hands and dancing together, teaching them our dance etc... Where i didn't do great though was that i went back to my friends, never introduced them and didn't escalate from there. I didn't want to spend all my time chasing and just wanted to enjoy the festival with my friends, in combination of that i was really tired from the day before. But what i really had to do was introduce them to my group, Kino-escalate properly and i wouldn't have needed more then 15-30 minutes. This is most likely the reason that they stayed distant, they knew me, but i had about 10-12 strangers surrounding me.
Eventually we still had a lot of fun together. I managed to # close them for another opportunity by going

Me: Girls, we're going to (club name) soon, how about the 2 of you join us?
(HB1): I dont know what (club name) is.
Me: It's an amazing hardstyle club in Antwerp, you'd love it!
** (HB1) pulls her friend to us. **
(HB2): That sounds like fun! We cant come this week though, how about next?
Me: Sure, give me your numbers and i'll drop you a text when we arrange something!

Both of them entered their number, gave me a hug and a kiss and we parted our ways. All in all a very succesful experience, but i'm 100% sure that i could've F-closed both if i escalated properly by being more physical.
