:)

its not that i want to rub in your face, or that i want to hear: yeah your was right, but didnt i already say something about excuses and the need to make it perhaps a bit more... honest towards your intentions?

Still, i think you are doing good. I am glad to read you arent giving up. I am even happier to read have seemed to found new motivation to get rocking again.

Good luck mate.

Open more than just hot girls. You're mostly trying to build conversational skill and comfort. It's not wise to choose only the people most likely to reject you. No wonder you're losing motivation.

Open warmer targets like classmates and people normally around you. Learning requires a fair amount of success or else you'll just keep scrapping your plan and starting over. This leads to and endless cycle of looking for new material to give you the right plan. Bad place to be.

Still seek to push your limits, but only in small doses.

Who's a fucking pimp? C'mon, you know the answer 8)

It was a damn good day...I wasn't motivated to approach, because the crawling stage kicked my balls. All I saw was rejection and I spent way too much time looking up stuff online...oh well. Once again, I just imagined my life of being good with girls which always motivates me to go out and work on this goal.

The first HB is probably the most out of my league from all the 21 girls I approached so far. Not because she's hot, she's good-looking, but she's taller than me (I'm 6'1", so go figure), richer than me/has a rich husband and she's like twice my age, mid 30s. Fuck it!
Me: Hey, can you please stop wlking for a sec?
Her: Why?
She rears her head and I lose all interest. She comes across rude, bitchy and just arrogant. I deliver a half-assed opener but she knows what's up. She just complains about what a loser I am etc.
Me: Hey, being approached by a guy is actually a compliment. Other girls would die for this moment, especially with me ;)
Her: bla

Well, next, I guess.

I see this smoking hot girl, dressed up in a brown skirt and a black shirt. She's standing in front of a coffee shop and guys are just gazing. This is the most social pressure I've ever had before an approach. She looks like she's waiting for some one.

Me: Hey, who are you waiting for? (I can just feel the guys staring me down from behind)
She takes a while with an answer, so I interrupt.
Me: Stop lying...you know you're waiting for me! ;)
Her: (laugh) No, sorry.
Me: SO you look like you go to college (she kinda did)
Her: Oh, I don't speak German very well.
Me: Haha I wouldn't have guessed you actually sound pretty good for a foreigner :) So where are you from and what brings you here.
She's from Ukraine and works as an intern for some sort of soulless company in my city. It's basically only two semesters abroad and she'll be back in two weeks.
Me: Wow, so I've never been to your country before. But I'd love to see Kyiv one day. Plus I heard there's some nice beaches too. What's it called, the Red or the Black Sea?
Her: It's the Black Sea and you should go, it's nice! Here goes my mom, I gotta go, bye!

Fuck lol her mum just appeared out of nowhere and they went off for some mother-daughter-bonding. No number, but a nice convo in front of a crowd with a hot girl. What's there to be mad about?

What helped me most out of all that I read: if you wanna work good daygame you gotta talk. A LOT. What I did different with this girl was I talked and talked. Questions are okay, but only if you keep running your mouth beforehand. It just helps get the girl comfortable. That was my big lesson for today. The reason I was creepy in my earlier sets wasn't the opener or appearance...I just didn't talk. I went straight to full on interview mode and asked her stuff without making her comfortable. I just said everything I could muster about the Ukraine and she seemed to enjoy herself. It doesn't take all these weird techniques. It's all about comfort and I had it today because I was super calm, even in front of an audience.

Guys, I know this is only Approach 23. But I think I'm getting the hang of this!

oh yeah I wont be able to do many approaches for a couple days, pretty busy with school and everyday shit. But I can't wait until summer when I get to Munich. I know there will be single hotties all over the place. It's kinda tedious and hard to do daygame in a small city, so I gotta switch it up. Is there anything I need to know about sets in the daytime? What about seated HBs in coffee shops?

But in general, I feel pretty confident now. It's just starting to 'click' and I'm finding out what works for me.

Open everyone.

You've opened 23 people. There's SO much more to do. Don't worry about results. The results come from the experience.

My daygame is grocery store primarily. I approach women there during the day. I also approach everyone I see, practically. If I get mail in my townhome community, I engage everyone I see. If I buy beer, I'll open someone in line. Male/female - that doesn't matter. The conversation is the key.

I'd suggest opening more than you are - and not just HB's.

Eventually, you'll reach the point where you're talking about a lay report, not an attempt to open. :twisted:

I understand the rest of your post, but let me talk about the last sentence. Dude, did you not like the approach? I mean I did and I still do, but I respect your opinion, so I just wanted to ask.

But thanks for the help. I actually "opened a guy" today because of his shirt and we were chatting for a while.

No man, If I find something to critique - you'll know it... I'm not shy. :twisted:

Seriously, I was just offering encouragement. Many guys will start approaching people only to give up 3 weeks later and demand that "pick up is bullshit".

Those are the guys that are fucked. They're destined to KNOW about pick up, but too stupid or lazy to learn it and employ it.

Everyone has a process to go through, in their own way and their own time. We can offer insight and opinion - but it's always your journey.

You're on the right path.

My only caution to you is to not worry about chicks as much as just advancing conversation to the next step. Finding women is the overall goal - we get that... but at this point, finding your comfort 'in set' is a more pressing need.

Best,


RR

Guys, I know this is only Approach 23. But I think I'm getting the hang of this!
Hey mate.

I still think you are doing a great job. I admire the way you just go out and do it. It reminds me of what i did :).

I dont have much to say about hte convo's. THe first one, yeah, if you lose all interest because of the way she acts, eject asap :). Been there as well. Now i just bluntly spit out the sudden drop of interest.

The second conversation: Its a nice conversation. We arent there with you, but if you say she enjoyed the conversation, then you are doing a great job! You felt confidence, you were calm even before an audience, that is really something. Good job :).

I do have some remarks in general. You say you dont need techniques, just talk and create comfort. Well, you might say that the technique and the result of the technique are one and the same.

A good conversation, going deep, making the other person at ease and really connect, that takes skill. Techniques used could be calibrating the other person, deliberately showing empathy, eliciting feelings, etc.

Another remark on the talking. Be careful with "running your mouth". The key to a connection and comfort is 'interaction'. You cant interact if you are doing a monologue :). Yes, you do need to talk a lot, as you need to fill that awkward space or really and openly expect the other person to do so. So as a tip in general: talking is good but dont turn the interaction into a monologue.

One other remark. Although i like the approaches, i am still getting a bit frustrated with the fact that the conversations arent going anywhere. I know you are a bit hesitating with the direct part, but i think you are going extreme indirect. Let me put it differently: Safe conversation means a conversation that is totally socially excepted. Like: darn, the weather is nasty, or what time is it? Unsafe would be to go to a damsel and say: hey you look hot and and i want to fuck you.

Your conversations are too safe. You balance on extremely safe and conversation making. girls wonder what your intentions are, but you always take safe subjects. You are talking around the bush, trying to keep them into a conversation. Most people are doing stuff at the moment you interrupt them, their head is preoccupied with stuff. THey need to catch a bus, they need to go to their grannies, they need to do groceries and they cant forget about the apples they need bring along... etc etc. But with conversation, people need to focus on 2 things, divide their attention on 2 things. Always keeping an eye open for that mother to show up, for that clock going to 2 pm...etc etc.

In order to counter that, you need to realize that people dont have enough time for a long conversation (especially if you stop them from walking). You are already presupposing things (you look like you go to college), so presuppose that people dont have the time to talk with you. This gives you an excellent excuse for a hookup or a date, on which you have plenty of time to talk.

And going with my last statement, i think you miss a lot of opportunities by letting to girl/woman walk away.
she says: i need to go now, my mother is there, you can say: Oh wait, before you go, here is my phone number. You seem like a fun/interesting/sexy/horny person, i would like to see you again. Give me a text or a call if you are up for it. *hand her the number, say bye, turn around and you walk away*.

You might think: omg, and this or that guru says: never give your number, blablabla, but what if she does text your or call you? I would say that it is an IOI you cannot misunderstand. I stopped asking for numbers (because i got too many actually) and started giving my number instead. It was much easier and less expensive for me. You arent as far as i was when i first starting to give my number ( i was already attempting PU for 4 months), BUT.... i do think you miss a lot of opportunities. When you give your number, be firm and confident, like you know she might not even care to call you, but that is ok as you dont really need her ( and tbh, you dont need her :).

So to mix up the last points:
In your approaches, take into account that they might not have time for a full length fun conversation. So i would suggest: approach, open and you close as well, instead of talking until the girls leave or have to go. I ll give some examples this evening. also, grab your nuts and grab some of the opportunities; Like the Ukrainian girl. If she liked the convo, i would have given he rmy number and told her something: give me a text if you want to do something together. I think you are interesting and it could be great fun!

Again, this is what i would do :). Good luck!

Alright it's been a while guys. I wish I coulda approached more but school and family are more important to me and I had tons of work to do in those aspects. I'll be done by tomorrow and I'm kinda excited, I hope I didn't get rusty lol.

RR, I'll be approaching all kinds of people that seem interesting to me. You found one of my weaknesses: I used to be way too shy and scared, I worked on that though. I spent a year abroad, in a US high school. All new language, environment and people. I became more sociable, but 1 year can't make up for 17 years of social avoidance. So I gotta keep it up and cold approaching def. feels right. I'll be back tomorrow with more results.

LD, I understand where you're coming from. But I read and experienced that discretion and small talk work better for me. My direct openers went worse than my situational, spontaneous ones. I know I have to convey interest but I do this simply by approaching her in the first place. I'm also pretty good at teasing so I think I convey interest pretty well. You're right about the closing part though, I coulda gotten at least one number. But like I said, I haven't made any good experiences with being direct. I might have to give it another shot and calibrate more. I heard a little pre-opener like "Hey, I don't do this often but..." should help.

It's all good. You're realizing what does, and doesn't work for you. That's all you can ask for.

I've been the opposite in my journey. I started with the shy/small talk openers and have grown to be bold, direct and use the word 'fuck' when I first meet a chick. It just presents the frame I want her to see me. Assertive, intelligent, confident and attracted to her...

...and keep in mind - I'm an old fart telling you this... So my game depicts women 35+.

Do your thing man. You're learning, you're advancing and you're doing fine - sincerely.


RR

I've been a lazy fuck lately, but seeing as this is a journal by now, I wanna put something down. I was out yesterday because it finally stopped raining and I approached two girls. It's still tough and everything, and I still have AA but every time I fight it I feel like a better man. Like I said, I should be up there sooner or later.

The first one was a classic blow out. I told her to stop for a second (from behind!), but she just looked at me scared and sped up :D No need for persistence...

The second one was a bit better. She's blonde but looks kind of exotic, she's got her headphones on but that doesn't stop me anymore. I can't really rate her, but since I approached her, she must've been hot. I was in a bad state prior to this approach by the way, maybe you can tell. She's walking the other way and I don't have an opener ready at all.
Me: "Hey, just stand still for a second!"
That's when I had my funniest moment in Daygame so far. I saw her face go from the usual "fuck you doing?!" to a smile in just seconds. I took some time with my further opener.
Me: "Because you just have something about you, and if you don't mind I'd like to talk with you for a while and find out what!"
At this point I should've introduced myself. After that she said she had things to do because she's going on vacation to Turkey bla. Just small talk, pretty friendly. I walk with her for a while and eject.

So, looking back...I'm starting to feel comfortable in set. The opener still sucks, but after that I feel more congruent and I can just talk. I should've been a bit more C&F and what not, but I wanted to give the girl some time to adjust. I read somewhere, possibly Sinn's blog, "comfort comes before attraction". I agree, because every time I got cocky too early on, it creeped the girls out big time. So I just calibrated better this time.

I guess the main problem it just the legit time constraint. She looked busy. I wasn't gonna follow her throughout the whole city or anything like that. I can't do nothing about that, except maybe focus on girls in stores or just waiting HBs. By the way: I always just walk with HBs for a couple seconds, I never stopped one before. Obviously, if they're already standing, I'm not gonna make her move and we'll stay where we are.

So my questions: am I too 'AFC'? Like I said, attraction is necessary and all, but if you directly approach a stranger, I think I should take some time to calm her down so I just shoot the shit. I probably would've gone a bit more into teasing if she'd had more time. And, what do you think about walking with a girl? Is it a no-go (no pun intended) or is it okay as long as I don't follow her forever?

P.S I did some things that I always wanted to improve at. I was speaking slower, using pauses (because I didn't know what the hell to say next :D ) and I held pretty strong eye contact. Plus, the fact that I approached at all, makes me even more proud.

RR, I did approach two strangers by the way. Both dudes. But it's hard to do, because I don't really have a motivation. THe one guy was checking out movies and he seemed cool with it, the other dude I asked about his shirt and he probably thought I was some gay guy picking up other gay guys lol. I just like approaching girls more because I have a motivation. You're right about the socializing part and that's what I 'open' my classmates for, just social practice in general.

Hey mate,

I absolutely love this. I think you handled this one quite good! Very nice progress.

I hate to break it to you again, but didnt i say something about time constraints and people being busy? ;-). and you forgot to ask for her number? You know, at the point she is going to walk away or you are going to eject, you got nothing to lose...

I am not there with you, but with what i can make from that last convo, i would say you are not AFC. There is something that might help her calm down a bit faster then time, and it is called pacing the reality. Basically, you just tell her how awkward this situation really is. So you stop her, and you do you opener, and you also say: look, i know this seems very awkward, because i dont know you and you dont know me. then introduce yourself. Something like that. Teasing is fine :).

Walking with the girl is fine as well, just dont follow her like a doggy. You ejected on your own, that is good. you either walk her to somewhere where you can talk or you eject sooner or later (but not too late).

Excellent mate! Really, you are making progress! Dont give up, dont start being lazy, you are going forward, keep it that way! Freight train like, you dont stop for nothing!

the other dude I asked about his shirt and he probably thought I was some gay guy picking up other gay guys lol.

Hah! But this is the reason why doing this makes it all worthwile :). The excitement :).

Common mate, from what i can make of your convo's, you are going to make it. I see this as very promising!

Cheers and good luck! If you have more questions, shoot!

What's up,

the following post has some FR-elements to it, but none of it is particularly good and you can't really learn from it, so I'll post it here. It's pretty long because I wanted to back the whole question up with some 'evidence' of my issues. Just to prove I'm out there and to make it easier for you to help me, if you want to. You can also scroll all the way down and read my questions. So bear with me!

I tried Pick Up for the first time two weeks ago. I just approached a blonde 8 I noticed at the airport, my opener was a basic "hey, where are you flying?". We had a nice conversation and she was very communicative (we happened to be from the same country and this was a US airport, so maybe that helped her open up). She actually started asking me questions within the first seconds. It was great, but I ejected too fast. Ever since I got back home and tried some Daygame, motivated by this success, it's been going south.

Let me give you some examples.
I walk around in the city. Mind you, I don't live in the USA, so malls aren't really an option. I see this girl waiting on a street corner (not a hooker lol) and decide to approach her.
Me: What are you waiting for?
Her: ...
Me: Uhm..hi?
Her: Hi. (nervous)
Me: So, you think of an answer yet? :)
Her: I'm waiting on my mum.
That settles it, turns out she's clearly too young (15). Nothing to do here, I actually get kind of scared because I approached a minor like that.

Next. A ridiculously fine blonde, plus I genuinely like her jeans. Perfect opener! I catch up to her, lean to the side a bit and say with the best PUA BL (smile, relax) I can muster:
Me: Hey, I like your jeans!
Her: Thank you (at least she removed her headphones for me!)
Me: Where'd you get 'em?
Her: This city
I wish there was anything else to write, but there's not. She just doesn't open up and I can't seem to break the ice plus no experience with negs/persistence (at that time!), therefore: eject. Too bad, she was hot.

I also approached my first 2set the same day. They took a picture of some shitty art and that was a dead giveaway they were tourists.
Me: You're not from around here, are you?
HB6: I am, but she's not :)
Me: Oh. Where are you from?
HB8: Spain. (confused me because she wasn't very Hispanic-looking)
After that I basically quit. I don't know what it was. I could've made this a nice conversation but I was just not that experienced with girls. It was enough of a challenge to go approach, so I figured to just stop at approaching. When they responded so positively, I just didn't know what to do. I mean, I read about attraction, small talk, later on moving comfort, instant date etc. But my head was just empty.

After that, I thought about what went wrong that day. The HBs weren't that talkative, so I figured going for a more indirect approach could help. To that, just add some small talk and see what happens. Plus, I didn't think a beginner like me could afford being too direct.

This has been pretty long, but I'm coming to an end. Yesterday we had some nice weather. I approached two girls (separately) with situative openers. Nice little jokes, one of them responded positively, but I just lost interest for her within seconds. The next one (my sixth overall, a cute redhead) was the first time I think I hooked.

Me: Hey, I gotta ask you something!
Her: Okay...(looks down and smiles. I don't know if that's an IOI)
Me: Do women prefer direct or indirect approaches (read this somewhere, and liked it!)
Her: Well, there's not really a difference, right?

That's when I lost my shit. I went for attraction way too early (I said "well there's average guys, and pros like me:) " and pointless, insecure shit like that). I'm just obsessed with attraction. I guess I should've just small talked for a while and let the C&F come naturally. But C&F, P&P is the biggest problem in my game and I hoped for a fix. I just got too worked up about it.

Okay, I hope you can give me some feedback.


How am I doing? None of my girls seem to be particularly interested, granted I only had 6 approaches since I started (friday) but still. I think they're a bit creeped out by my frame or BL.

But how can I work on that? I always think everything's fine while I'm in the set. I'm pretty relaxed, I smile and I try to tease. Reading from the reactions though, something's off. What do you suggest I do next? I just want to keep approaching and analyze the results. As of now, I just wanna go for full-on indirect with some small talk, maybe some teasing and a number close. Is that smart? Or should I - even as a beginner - stick with direct openers for my day game? I opened with a compliment once and I just gave away too much I think.

Just let me know what you think about the whole thing. Thank you very much for reading through all this, it means a lot! I know only I can make a difference, so if you answer, I commit to going out and trying your approach to tell you how it went!

Thanks!
Mate. Because your new, this is going to be news and thats ok. But going to the gym for 2 weeks wont make you jacked. Running a lemonade stand won't make a billionair in 2 weeks.

The truth is you aren't doing anything wrong. YOUR SUPPOSED TO SUCK SHIT. It's what being a newbie is all about. You see in order to get good at this, you don't learn a few tips or tricks from a forum, you learn by cultivating an extensive amount of experience.

The only pickup advice you will need (assuming your nto a creep that has degenerate social skills) for your first 100 approaches, is simply to approach.

Get blown out. Get rejected. Get humilated. Thats how you become better.
