A quick background on me. I'm Asian, 5'7, not bad-looking (low confidence about this especially though), very white-washed, and well-dressed from Toronto. I'm also going into U of T next year for Psych.

Today, I was out with an old friend (my age though) who I actually don't like much. He's a "reformed" douchebag but still acts like one often, always trying to DHV and look better, shutting others down to boost his ego.

As we were walking and trying to figure out where Second Cup was, I saw a gorgeous, Russian brunette, about 20 something? HB8.5 walk out of a residential building. She walked toward us and right as we passed by her, I over-the-shoulder said

"Excuse me. Do you know where Second Cup is around here?"

She paused, thinking, while I maintained a good smile (I've been practicing lol) and good non-needy body language, leaning out. She pointed in the direction, gave directions and smiled back.

I gave her my thanks, rocked my body away, but then said "If you're going this way to, you could show me?" in a pleasant manner. She said she was sorry, she was going another way (groceries). I wished her a good day, it was a good approach and there was no terrible rejection like I expected, she was very friendly.

I did not even NAME-CLOSE because before I could say anything else, my douchebag friend said "let's fucking go" and amog'd me, blowing me out of my daygame set and so she walked away to avoid what now seems like a weird ambush.

he also gave me shit, saying I was so creepy and stuff, which whether is true or not in any way, i didn't care. He generally talks down regardless of how good someone else is at something, and he knows nothing about PUA so he wouldn't even understand.

I feel good about this approach and it's motivating to continue opening whenever I go out, and makes me want to become a PUA more than ever.

It's proof to anxious/nervous/low-esteem guys like myself that we can do it. Just go balls out.
And no racism intended, but with asian men, even in a multi-cultural city like Toronto, I know we can have very big insecurities due to stereotypes and there's this kind of belief that we can only get Asian chicks (which I think are fine but not big on). It's B.S. Everyone's fair game... in the game.

If anyone has advice, feedback, opinions, that would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading, I will continue posting!

p.s. do I post in this topic, or do I post in a new one? I want to begin a journal/series

K.I.A.

~~K.I.A.~~

Last night when I got home, I was on a dedicated toronto PUA forum, and found someone (who I'm not sure if he wants any of his names disclosed yet) who I'm about to meet and talk with, and possibly end up sarging with.

I write a report tonight about how it goes.

I'm quite excited that I found someone somewhat in my area, and it just PROVES all it takes is effort, re-framing your mind, and social calibration to attain success. 545 baby, getting there.

I also have a goal where on July 16th I'll be hitting a Toronto stripper club (the brass rail) for a bachelor's party. I'm actually not really friends with the bachelor or his friends, so I'm not sure why I was invited... but this opportunity prevents a perfect time to practice on some of the toughest hired guns.

And I plan on having some form of success with them.

~~K.I.A.~~

So I met the guy. He was brown, my height, a bit bulky (Not obese at all though) and friendly. Overly talkative (he knew though) and quite helpful. As redundant as he was, just talking to him fueled my motivation.
His avatar at the time (he wasn't dressed to game that second) was... not the best, but I'm a bit of a fashion nut. But we talked about day approaches and he told me to just do it, and had given me many stories about him. Like... A LOT.

And I doubted his skill... until I saw him approach a cougar, HB9. He was gaming her awesome, but was turned off by her thick accent, euro-russian-y. So he made me a believer that looks have NOTHING to do with it.

On my way back home, I had found a girl needing help unloading stuff from the car. I offered my help, not because I'm an AFC, but because I sincerely saw she was struggling a lot and really like helping people. Afterwards, I tried to game her a bit, and it went great! She ended up inviting me into her kitchen for a few beers, we had good conversation and I number closed!!!

I'm beginning to really build some confidence early on, and I know it can be shattered easily.. but it's PROOF that I can accomplish great things.

Backstory: So this is day 3 in a row of me approaching at least once when I go out.
Tomorrow's my commencement/ graduation ceremony, so once I'm away from family, I'm down to sarge whoever's around at the venue that isn't part of the whole graduation thing. Being in a dress shirt, tie, and pants never hurt

On the way to something, I was taking the bus... not many people and had been listening to stylelife's self-hypnosis thing... and it was actually working a bit... which is unusual for me XD Those type of things usually hardly yield results.

I then saw an amazing HB9.5 Very skinny, about 5'5 or so, has this very angelic look but she had a gibson electric in a soft case. Blonde, very fit and pulled off a very pink outfit. light pink/ white striped shirt, pink shorts, and pink checkered shoes. Somehow she tied it together, and it didn't seem bothersome... i admire good fashion ability a lot.

I didn't know how to approach on the bus (one of my sideline goals in terms of gaming) and asked her an opener I made up, and feel like has potential

The Approach: "Hey could I get your opinion on something?"
She nods compliantly, but a bit confused
"Well my friend and I have been fighting over this... does watching the Discovery Channel make you a geek?"
She told me she didn't watch it, we had some friendly conversation while getting off the bus (i asked while we were about to get off the bus to the station) and then I blew my set by feeling AA set in, not being able to transition/ roll-off and stack a new thread... and ended up tongue-twisted by trying to say a few things at the same time. Pace of speech was good though. But I had to eject after sounding like Colin Firth in the King's Speech

Afterthoughts/ MY new opener So I consider this a success. Another cold, day approach with shitty weather to an HB9.5 I would never otherwise talk to. More experience is always good.

MY NEW OPENER: I think this opener can be a success. I had thought out before (and my best friend made some pointers too) if she says "yes" you either do some kind of agreement like your friend watches it. If you feel ballsy, go against the grain and want to neg, say "so you think I'm a geek? I'm offended... there's so much you can learn" etc kinda material, all playful and kind of putting words in her mouth in a fun way.

If she says "no" vice versa. Either agree and say what you like, find common ground etc. or go against the grain and call HER out on being a geek playfully.

What I didn't prepare for was "I don't watch it (or even I never heard of it)" Talk about why she SHOULD watch it, there really are some crazy shows on discovery channel like River Monsters where a dude catches 40 foot fish and he's like 60, Bear Gryll's Man Vs. Wild, and Mythbusters where they blow shit up in the name of science. Suggest programs etc. asking her what she's into etc. stack forward.

IF for whatever reason, people use this opener in their FR, it would be cool to receive credit as K.I.A., or if it becomes huge as a canned opener credit would be nice (: After all, it really was my brainchild.

I'm not afraid to give out some of my material... I'm going to come up with more and think things should be shared within reason of course!

~~K.I.A.~~

So my conscious game has been on and off.
Toronto's having a terrible heatwave and as someone who actually can't take heat, I couldn't go out as much for experience, but have been stacking up on knowledge.

My inner game is changing, and I'd like to thank sources such as LoveSystems and RSD. I highly recommend both... Mystery and Annihilation Method are GREAT to start with, but there comes a point where you must grow. I liked that order of MM, AM, LS, then RSD. And gambler's stealth attraction + other sources helped too!

I also have started meeting some other guys from here, great stuff! Actually started my own little Project Toronto which only has 10 members but IS growing

http://www.facebook.com/groups/TorontoPUAProject?ap=1

Anyone can join (:

Yesterday I went out with a chick, despite the heat and thought I might post an FR


BACKSTORY/BACKROUND TO THIS GIRL
This is a girl I barely met, and had got her number... I don't remember how
But, thanks to LoveSystems text game, I really brought it to the table. The concepts in that resource are of GREAT help, BUT I quickly realized this chick is what I call... somewhat un-gameable/ abnormal programming.
Yes, every girl's different but this one hinted towards suicidal tendencies. Girls like her and Lisa (from the game) seem to have traits that make them not the norm, therefore some concepts don't work on them... which we'll see later in the FR.
She suggested we meet after I used good text game, and we did at Yonge and Steeles.

THE "DATE"
We met, shook hands and all... and it turns out she wanted to do some things at the mall we were around. We went there, talked... and she game me many IOIs, genuine smiles, giving out insider info on her (comfort), asked questions about me etc.

Soon she wanted me to go to her area of Richmond hill and to take the VIVA with her. We did this and she gave me a debatable friendly/romantic touch move... sleeping/ resting her head on my shoulder and speaking with an intimate voice about what I thought about things so far. Sweet deal.

We go do other things, I'm a naturally generous person and bought her some lunch and stuff... I know I shouldn't if it's a shit test, but she seemed hungry and I feel like this girl is also somewhat cheap... major turn off for me so I don't think I want a LTR with her.

After a while, I realize she's not my type at all... like I tend to attract fucked-up girls, but at least to me, the negative > positive by far. I decided to continue gaming just for experience and to learn/ socialize regardless... besides she seemed like she was having fun and I wanted to be nice and enjoy myself too.

Without being outcome-dependent I said to myself I wanted to k-close by the end of the evening (we met around 3 and this thing went till 9?)

Eventually I let slip that I was meeting with some guys from Project Toronto this Friday and she asked me about it and PUA. I decided to give her a slanted way of looking at it.. I said I was going to help some guys out with PUA, we would sarge... I explained PUA as a journey to self-improvement, and that it's not about girls.

To my surprise, she begged me to use PUA on her, but she's quite smart so I was afraid she would become paranoid and question if everything I did was "game".
Regardless, I explained rather than demo;d two routines to stay safe. The tension test (as seen on vh1's pick up artist where you increase tension by getting close) and then I asked her if she'd like to kiss me. I explained both after getting negative responses (no kiss, and she was really uncomfortable with the tension test... not because of poor game but I could tell she's poorly socialized and uncomfortable with herself and had EXTREMELY low self esteem, placing me on a pedestal in fact... strange).

At some point we were on a bus that broke down and there was a qualification stage where she told me a 30 minute "exciting story" about a really insane airplane trip and it was just a mess of transportation lol. Okay story but I knew it was a good sign.

Later we we were waiting for my bus so I could go home and then she'd walk to her house... and before I got on I tried to give her a friendly quick hug.. something I do all the time to even guys and nobody ever finds weird since I don't do it with weird creepy intentions. She backed off and gave me a weird face, and I had to get on the bus. I decided not to text her first but in a few minutes, she wrote "are you upset with me?"

I told her "nah. I see how it is though no love for K.I.A." and then she told me that I was lucky to get a handshake. she offered to see cowboys and aliens (which i joked about wanting to see and i knew it was an ioi since she does NOT want to go at all) and i decided to make her wait for my response a bit. She became uncomfortable again and wrote "or not." before i responded.

I wrote back "yeah let's watch it, i'll figure out when later." by 2 am we were texting and she was asking a bunch of validation/ approval questions like my first impression of her, how much i enjoyed things etc.

She's messed but I'd like to k-close this girl soon and have at least a bit of fun beyond "friends". She had stated I'm super-cute and all that, and when I joked "from past experience cute = friends zone" she said "says who?" etc. Interest's there but more attraction and comfort has to be created... we spent 5 hours together, so maybe another 2-5 will be good and then I can k-close and beyond.

She says she's very indifferent to things (Totally true, a whatever girl. she was wearing guy shorts, goth band things, emo hair sweep, she's pakistani, and just very eclectically dressed, but not over the top... just not the norm). and she couldn't believe me joking about how sometimes i flip after not having a rigid schedule. and then went on to diss guys who need structure, but then to say she needs a man who knows what he wants.

I understand that concept, but with such a weird chick, any advice on what to do with her next would be appreciated.
