This isn't really a question, but more like a statement that I think all newbies understand.

I've been a PUA for like 1 month, and I've been progressing. VERY slowly, but surely.

Anyways... You know what the worst part about learning how to be a PUA is?

When you don't know if the new techique you used on a girl was effective or not.

Worst part is when the technique was completely 100% effective, but you didn't fucking know!

This has happened to me at least 5 times already. I would switch between 1 technique to the next because I didn't realize that the first technique I even used was the most effective one. Its like un-learning. You know what I mean?

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or is it just me?

I understand where you're coming from, been there too.
But I must say, the more I read and the more I sarge, the more I notice these small things that tell me that what I do is effective or not.
Just practice more, eventually you'll get it. Also, prepare yourself: If I do this and this, what should the reaction be? For example, a good opener won't make her jump you, but it might get her to keep excessive eyecontact.

Look out for her reaction at different stage.

Is she comfortable talking to you?

Does she give you signs indicating her interest? (Did she start asking more personal questions? Whats her body language like?)

When you feign disinterest does she go after you?

Did she reject your request for number?
