How do you handle days when you don't feel like gaming?

It happened to me the other night and it got me curious as to what everyone else would do...

I don't know man...maybe just chill for a day? Gaming isn't a full time job...it's just something we came up with to improve our ability to form relationships with women.

Hi! For me personally it depends on the reasons I have to not go out and approach.
I want to get good and I realise that the only way to get good is to practice. So on days where the only reason is that I am not in the correct mood, I try to just open 5 girls, transition onto another topic and eject while giving myself a time limit of max 30 minutes. I am still at a point where approaching gets harder when I don't approach daily. And I know that it will max take me 30 minutes. What happens most of the time is that when I am busy doing the 5 approaches, I continue because my state changed.
On the other side there are the days where I simply can't approach because I am sick, have work to do the entire day, etc. Then I don't go out. But I am trying to keep these days down to a minimum.

This answer is not what you want to hear... But it is what you need to hear.

You dont have to game. Nobodys forcing you. It is completely up to you.

Do you feel the need to learn, then do it. If something else in your life is more important... Do that.

You own yourself, and you can do w/e the fuck you want. You're the boss and if you dont feel like gaming on a certain day, than dont game

Thanks for the replies.

I keep hearing that pick up is a lifestyle, so most of the time I feel obligated to approach.

The other night I went out with the guys and just didn't feel the drive to approach a set.

It wasn't an approach anxiety thing. We were just having a good time together and I didn't want to miss out.

Maybe it's a lifestyle for people that have nothing else in their life, I dont know. You don't need to make it your lifestyle bro.

When I go out I go out to have fun, 'sarging' is bullshit in my eyes. When I'm out with friends having fun, and I see a girl I can't resist or if I see her checking me out, yeah i'll go for it, and I have more than enough women in my life, so it's not like "if you dont sarge, you dont get laid". I can't imagine guys go out solo/with a wing approaching set after set, what's the fun in that?

If you didnt have the drive to approach, thats fine right? Because you had a good night.

Don't let some guru's fool you with talk of "approach 10 sets a night" and stuff like that, do your own thing, and just incorporate the knowledge you have of the game.

It all depends.

On how far you wanna go in the PU world. Some people just wanna improve their chances with girls and I would say that it happens as soon as you start understanding what it is all about. So... Check.

If you wanna be a mPUA it takes more practice.

A lot of the people here wanna be PUAs, having the PUA lifestyle, being a player, rock star lifestyle, you know. Most of them realize that there is more to it than just that. Reaching the top of PUA is not the end. Our goals change as we progress. There is a world after the PUA one, a world where this is just an important step we take in order to advance.

When I don't feel like gaming I use the free time to read pick up literature and try to learn something new that I could try out. I might also watch videos of live seminars.

Hell, I even believe in the power of NLP... I meditate as often as I can. The patience pays off at the end. Maybe not that much but it does.

I can FIX ANYTHING!!!

I don't want pick up to define who I am, but I want it to be a part of my life.

If I see a girl I want to approach then I've got the skills to do that, but I'm not going to sarge just for the sake of sarging.

Chillburg summed it up perfectly for me. As long as I'm having a good night then I'm happy.

I think I've got more clarity now.
