I'm traveling around California for another week on my bicycle. I'm now entering So Cal, which features more of the touristy spots. I've been talking to some girls - not a whole lot, because most people are just families. And I haven't really explored the college campuses too much, but I probably should. Anyway, just wondering what you guys think about getting girls on vacation. Obviously, because I'm always on the move, there's no day 2, so I have to seal the deal really fast. I've gotten numbers but none of them materialized.

Today, I even got a ride from a girl, who trusted me to throw my bike in her small car. I didn't need the ride, I just wanted more time. But when I tried to make my move, she inferred that she was a lesbian, that she's for real, not trying to brush me off, and that it happens a lot with guys, and I believe her, though she seems a little insecure about her sexuality...

Then, I talked to the only two girls that were on the beach (not tourist season). They were hot and had boyfriends, but I stuck around and we chatted for like 3 hours. I mean f**k, I kind of knew I was in the friend zone, but wanted to stick around because there literally weren't any other girls around, and see where it would go. The cute one actually invited me to sit with her as we chatted away on the beach. But I think the other one was more mature, and knew what was going on. And when we ran out of things to talk about, they just sort of lost interest and played the "we have to go to the bathroom" which is code for "let's get the fk out of here". I got one of their numbers, because we're both going to LA, but i'm pretty sure it's a dead end.

How am I doing? What do I need to focus on?

I mean this is one of the things that's on my "secret list" of things to do here. I don't normally approach girls like this in real life, so I'm definitely not as experienced. That's why Im' here. also, I'm not going after the so so girls, just the hot/pretty/cute ones, because I see no reason to waste my time and theirs. Anyway, tips would be appreciated

You can play the "I'm not from round here and looking for a tour guide to show me round" card.

But aside from that, it's no different from gaming in your home town. I tried the same thing as you about 7 years ago, went to a new city where nobody knows me, nobody to judge me or gossip, but it sucked because my inner game was weak.

Until you can unashamedly approach women in front of your social circle of friends, you are gonna suck at this. Work on your inner game and ferret out your insecurities. Find out what your weaknesses are.
