ok hi me again...well i have been doing this now for a few days a week two weeks now and i am getting better at this. Like i've transitioned from just "hi" to like trying to make conversation. I usually have to build up to that state tho like i gotta do the NM for like 30 min then i'm in the "zone" .

When i'm in the zone i'll approach anybody about anything its a fucking killer feeling.

I need to learn how to build attraction. Like I need a game plan after the open.
I told a buddy that its like Pickup to me is a puzzle and i have a lot of the pieces to the puzzle but i have NO CLUE how to put them together.

LOL

Anyways i plan on continuing this and seeing where it takes me.. Hmm there's a couple workshop/bootcamps in my area this summer maybe i'll check one of them out.

Until then....Newbie mission

I'll keep y'all posted thanks for reading....

oh, Ihira keep it up....EC or not say hi...hi are you friendly? Your voice may crack, you may think you sound stupid.....WHO FUCKING CARES! People are more friendly than you may think...girls are funny too man i get a lot of good responses from good compliments "i love how your eyes match your ear rings and your dress....its beautiful did you do that on purpose? they usually say no but i have to believe thats a lie LOL... also too they love hearing about how they have real positive energy....say it with confidence and it wont sound wierd or odd or scripted....

fellow AFC's i do believe there is hope yet for us......we are in it together!

Day 3.

Did it. said 'hi' to about 15?(lost count) random avg-good looking girls EC or not.
about half of them straight avoid EC and walk past, some notice but dont say anything, some smile, some say hi back to me. All kinds of reactions, its actually interesting.
2 important things learned.
1) the hardest part is actually doing the first few sets, I was stuck in negative a bit for about 20 minutes before attempting my first one (and motivating yourself to get out of the house ugh), like initiating the first. Once youre past that the rest is not hard at all especially because your not engaging in a conversation.
In the end i was actually hoping there were more girls walking so I can up my numbers.
2) Its not that bad at all being ignored, no selfconcious negative feelings got to me today.

1 failure was there was a girl sitting byherself in a weird spot bored, looking over the mall, shoulda at least start a convo with her.
The highlight of tonight was there was a japanese girl @ english manga section, i approach her surprise her with my japanese speaking have some fluff talk. her friends (1 guy 1 girl) come too and we introduce, just chat random shit. i can tell theyre kinda intimidated/surprised but it was fun. I did the opening, introdusing name, handshake etc mostly me taking initiative. Good practice.

I'm going to do this again tommorow this time hopefully start some more random conversations.
I'm going to approach this step by step, gradual improvement until its gets more natural. Still not ready to ask them out or go for a close.

ok ihira i'm happy for you..What we are doing my friend is addressing that we have a problem in our lives (not happy with the, or the amount of women in our lives) and ARE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!

You said you experienced a failure in you saw an attractive bored girl and you didn't go talk to her....tsk tsk what a shame

I've done the same damn thing so many times it makes me sick....

Dude another thing i'm also noticing is DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR AFC FRIENDS when it comes to pickup....Its so funny how some of them try and question the validity of PUA shit and then try and give ME advice on how to get girls.....

It's like dude you haven't got laid in two years and your gonna give me advice on chicks?

K, in the few years I've been here I've finally did the newbie challenge right and I had fun. A few girls passed me up, but quite a few stopped and had conversations with me and I finally realized that people aren't as bad as I originally thought. I even number closed a girl at the mall and had fun doing it. I can honestly say that this was an enriching experience. Though I need to work on my tendency to do "double take" which means that I wait for a girl to pass maybe a second or 3rd time before I am comforitable enough to approach. I plan to work on approaching on first sight instead of procrastinating and waiting for a "double take".

Goal: "Do 10 back to back 1st sight approaches. Simply say hello. "

Left the house feeling fresh. I arrived at the mall and I felt like everyone knew I was walking through the door. Heads turned just to catch a glimpse of the smiling champion that graced them with his presence (probably).

As soon as I saw the ancient asian couple sitting down at a table, scoffing at their wannabe-chinese-food panda express, i greeted them with a "ni hao" and a smile. I had no clue whether or not they spoke mandarin, but they ended up being mandarin. I had them teach me how to say "you treat me to dinner" so i could say it to chinese speaking women in the future, and i parted ways.

I said "hi" to EVERYONE, fine females included, that i walked by. I developed an awesome feeling, even more fantastic than the one i showed up with, and felt on top of the world.

I had become Andrew-the-Invincible in a matter of minutes, and I knew people could sense it. They would smile at me before i even made eye contact. In one case, i could swear i felt my clothes being slowly stripped off of my body only to find a seventy year old woman behind me staring seductively at my cheeks and licking her lips.

In conclusion, Mission accomplished. Next mission is use the "Two girls fighting" opener to as many sets as possible and get locked into the set with the "who lies more" opener. I want to practice using a false time constraint as well so they don't think i'm going to hang around forever. I'll be posting my results sometime this week.

Questions, comments, or advice can be given to me directly through my email which should be visible somewhere on the page . Until later,

-SirDrewcifer

Well I finally did indeed complete my goal of doing 10 1st sight back to back approaches of women and I have to say it was fun and gave me a lot of confidence. I even had a conversation with a few of them and it gave me a lot of inspiration to continue to improve. It started early in the morning before Spanish class and I simply continued until about the afternoon and then left school after I talked to about 20 people. Out of the 20 women I said hi to 15 said hello and out of those 15, 5 of them had conversations with me. I had a nice conversation about hippy stuff with one eco-freak person. She seemed very entrenched in the environment, I enjoyed the conversation.

Well onto the next challenge. Good bye newbie mission . And good luck to the rest of you all.

I set out to try this challenge after reading it this morning. Said "hi" to every girl on campus I had an opportunity to approach. I must say, it actually does help overcome a great deal on AA, and for that I'm happy I did this challenge.

On the other hand, about half the girls I approached (usually the hotter one's, HB's 8, HB's 9) gave me nothing but a polite and slightly awkward "hey?" in return. A couple even nothing... I think it outlined some issues in my approach (possibly body language?) and I can't seem to figure out what that might be...any ideas?

Thanks. Learning lots from this forum even though I haven't posted much.

"Why say no when it feels so good to say yes?"

Woke up this morning with the intention of completing this, just got home and, basically, I failed.

The only girl I managed to talk to was a shop assistant and, even then, it was just a mandatory 'Hello'.

In the street, I saw very few girls walking around on their own and, if they were, they'd usually just be looking at their phone and ignoring anyone around them. I did try to make eye contact with them but they just glanced up from their phone for about a second before returning to texting, or whatever they were doing. Should I still say 'Hi', even if there's no eye contact?

The second problem, I found, was that girls tend to hang around in pairs. Whenever I made eye contact with one of the girls, I didn't want to say anything in case her friend said anything. I just felt, I dunno, creepy.

I'm not making excuses, but I do think there are cultural differences between the UK and the US. In the US, people tend to be more extroverted and willing to talk to people. British people tend to keep themselves to themselves, unless they've voluntarily put themselves in a social situation. Anyone from the UK had any success with the Newbie Mission or have any tips for a struggling AFC?

I'm definitely going out again tomorrow. Really want to overcome my AA.

what part of the UK you from because i could help you

I was telling myself that theres a cultural difference but no its not the point who you say hi too is irrelevant....its about being social saying Hi to someone purely to be social is hard for your AFC because they are not used to or even anxious about socialising

One of the biggest points id say of pickup is to not care too much...obviously therre are acceptions

Last but not least you say hi to everyone regardless just be a bit care free but make it ice walm smile be relaxed

POPCORN PLAYA

At the moment I'm down in Devon but I go to uni in the Birmingham. I thought the Easter break would be a good time to develop talking to people because I'm never gonna see these girls again.

So you'd suggest just say 'hi' to anyone? Whether it be a hot girl or an elderly lady? Just work on talking to strangers to start with?

Hello everyone!

I just did a sample of the beginner mission!

Here's the story:
At Walmart at 9:30 AM doing some shopping after a vacation. Wasn't in the mind set at all when I got there. I wasn't clean shaven, nor was my hair done up. Just regular clothing. What got me started was seeing a group of employees having a meeting in the open. Standing in mist of blue uniform stood a dye red head. Slim build. A acceptable 7 but among her co-worker, an 8. As I walk pass her, I caught her looking my way. I'm pretty sure she was just bored out of her mind(AFC talk maybe?) and was scanning for something exciting to free her of her boredom. At that moment a thought came to mind 'I wish I could push through the crowd straight toward her and tell her I find her attractive'. I'm pretty sure it was a good thing I didn't. After walking past the crowd, I remember the Newbie mission. So I figure I give it a shot.

First was a lady in her 40s. As I walk by she caught me looking her way. I wasn't checking her out so I manage to keep my eyes on hers. I let out a smile(naturally it felt) and said 'hi'. She reply 'hello' follow by a smile.

Second was a girl of my age(early 20). As I walk toward her, she looked up and saw me looking her way. I smile again and say 'hi'. She gave me a small open lip smile like she was caught off guard. Then look down again and continue walking.

Third was a older lady in her late 30s. She was an employee. As she was stocking up the shelf near me. I hesitated but as she came back around with more stuff I caught her eyes, I smile and said 'good morning'. She reply with 'good morning to you.' After she ask me if I needed help.

Over all I was super proud of myself and left with a great feeling I haven't had in months. There wasn't a big group of people there at the store, but I'll give it a try again tonight at a busier mall. Wish me luck!

I'll be posting a full review if I have more success or my first failure.





PART 2

So after the morning success I figure I go give it another shot! Guess what happen. NOTHING!. Here's the story:

I went to the mall in my 'best' clothing. Feeling good and in the right mind set. As I walk though the mall it was quite quiet. It didn't bother me. Still had lots of cuties around. I started from one end of the mall and walk to the other. I even walk on the second floor and guess what happen? NOT A SINGLE greeting was made! I was so shocked! When a girl is 20-30 feet away get a glance but as we get closer the ladies always end up looking the other way or looking down or just keep walking. WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!

I try maintaining eye contact the whole way from 20ish feet till we get close but every time she enters the 5-10feet range(the greeting range) she always look away... So part two was a failure.



Lucky at the start of the second part of the mission. I manage to use the 'dating for dummies' opener. I was so proud of myself! I walked and debated and ended up telling myself 'If you don't do this, you'll regret it!' because earlier in the day I missed a opinion opener. So I was holding the dummies book. Walked up to a girl in the traveling section and stop 2 feet in front of her. It went like this:

Me: Excuse me

She looked up

I pulled the dummies book in front of me and looked down.

Me: umm... ahh... *looked up to her* how are you?

She looked down and saw the dummies book I was holding and she started to chuckle.

I pulled the dummies book up again and looked down.

Me: ummm... So... what's your sign?...

She continue laughing and short of went back to her book.

Me: aw man... I guess this doesn't really work. Thanks. *walk away*.

Last I saw she was still chuckling. It was a fail but I never in my life thought I use a cheesy opener like that. So even though my part 2 of the newbie mission fail but I consider myself pass because right now, I'm feeling better than ever! I MADE A GIRL SMILE! YES!!!!!

i tried this done everything you said, i dont know if it was not enough girls there but didnt really work for me, i number closed with one girl, but she was, lets just say not the most attractive girl out the bunch, most the women replied or either a quick smile and carries on with there errands.

I think the point of the mission is to get out and get talking. If you want to number close more attractive women then you may need some game, opener, etc.

I'm heading back out there tonight! Maybe you should try again at a different place.

ok so today was my newbie mission day.
I tried it in the bus, the trainstation, school wherever I am, but there is something i couldn't stop noticing...
They Always look away when aprouching anyone...
Its like they're scepticel towards everybody they don;t know...
I did get some 'hi's back, but in the end...I just got ignored...
I'm talking about dutch girls right now...
It's not that i'm not willing...they're not willing
