Helloooo everyone!

I've decided to start a journal to document my progress toward one goal: being able to approach any woman while being 100% confident and relaxed. I will post everyday starting tomorrow with any experience I develop. The focus will be on the skills but I will include statistics to see if there is a correlation between skills and the stats.

Background: I'm not new to the game. My brother introduced everything to me years ago and I read off and on. I'm tall and athletic. I'm somewhat naturally attractive albeit lanky. I've had one serious relationship but besides that not a ton of experience with women.

I am a uni student with work so be forewarned some days there will be little to no progress. However, I will write everyday starting tomorrow.

Lastly, any constructive criticism is much appreciated!

Kisses,
TMT

Day 1

Approaches: 2
Numbers: 0
Lays: 0

Well today could've been worse. I did make 2 approaches, one at night and one during the day. The day approach was a situational opener with a HB 6 and 5. Didn't continue the conversation though because they hardly spoke any english (asian). Still, they seem pleased that I engaged them.

The night opener went poorly. Two HB 7s were trying to squeeze by me so I playfully said what's the password. They stood for quite a while until one said no fucking way. Haha golden! My frame was a little bit off and I think it showed.

Overall, it was a successful day because I made 2 approaches and I learned from them. I know I need a bigger sample of approaches but I've been hampered down by school and sickness lately (just got out of the hospital recently). I have to write a giant essay tomorrow but I look forward to making a couple more day approaches.

Day 2

Approaches: 2
Number Closes: 0
Lays: 0

Today was a busy day but I completed 2 more approaches. The first one was waiting for the bus. I opened an HB 7 with a situational opener again and delivered it well. She responded well but she answered her phone then got on the bus haha. I felt good about it though and was bummed I didn't even get a chance to transition.

The second approach was in a convenience store. I made a comment on what an HB 7.5 was buying and we talked for a little bit but I couldn't get to the hook point and she left after buying her product. Yarrr!

I learned a couple things today that will help me improve. Firstly, whenever entering somewhere I need to smile. It makes me in a better mood and makes it easier to approach. Secondly, delivery and the 3 second rule are key. Right when I noticed the first set I opened and delivered it well. She seemed very receptive. Lastly, music helps me a ton when alone. Walking alone is rather boring so I've been grooving out to my music recently when going anywhere. It gets me in state and it's a nonverbal cue I'm going to open when I take off one of my earbuds.

Tomorrow I have work then studying so it'll be hard to approach but I'll see what I can do Can't wait till the weekend when I have time to actually approach people!

Day 3

Today was really rough. I worked all day then studied for the rest of my time. Definitely not the most fun day. i knew I wouldn't get any approaches in but I did squeeze one in while at an SPAM. It was a 2 set with an HB7.5 and HB5. I was with my friend and we just asked them how their night was and just started talking about what they were doing tonight. We walked with them for a bit before parting ways. Although we actually had a conversation and I wasn't reaching for threads I didn't recognize that attraction had already been established. I should've been moving into qualification with the HB7.5 but I was stuck in attraction. Oh well, learn from my mistakes. Tomorrow's another work day but I'm meeting up with some friends in the evening so I should get a good number of approaches in

Day 4

What a crazy day! Super long but I made some great progress. I made one day game approoach and 5 night approaches. The day game approach was on the bus. I sat next to an HB6.5 but found out she was in high school so didn't bother trying to close. I didn't think I would be able to because I found myself in comfort too quickly and not enough attraction building. The one piece that I found really works well for me is wearing headphones when approaching. The music keeps my head in the right place and once I start talking it's an automatic qualifier because I leave one earbud in until she completely captures my interest.

I made five night approaches:

1st - approached a group of HBs (8,6, 7) to have them take a picture of my wings and I. That opener always works like a charm because then we tell them to jump in the picture with us and the HB 6 ended up giving one of my wings a kiss on the cheek for the picture. Have difficulty transitioning though since it's usually in noisy nightclubs. Any advice on transitioning would be greatly appreciated.

2nd - Saw an HB 7.5 who apparently I met before but I had no recollection of (probably from a drunken night ha). I went over and gave her a big hug. She was with three other guys and I had her introduce me to them and I gave one of the guys a compliment on the shirt, which helped me win over the group. I danced on and off with her for a while but didn't end up number closing. Ahhh!!! Pussy! Gotta fix that next time.

3rd - Approached an HB 5 because she had a birthday pin on. It was her 21st and I gave her a big hug and wished her happy birthday. Later in the evening she introduced me to three of her friends (HB5, 5.5, 6.5) but it was right when I was leaving. Thing to take away from this is that it's good to open any set.

4th - Approached two HB 7s and asked if they wanted to dance. Said she had a boyfriend. Fail haha.

5th - In a different club did the camera opener again. However, she bolted after the pictures so no real time to transition. Too much alcohol possibly?

This night was really productive for me. I'm on antibiotics at the moment which means I can't drink any alcohol. I was really happy that I went out completely sober and had a great time especially on the dance floor. I worked on relaxing my body language at the clubs and felt that this is the most confident I've been out at night while sober. Also, I'm leaning towards the smile approach to the hug as it worked really well tonight on multiple occasions. Time to rest up for another big day tomorrow!

Day 5

Approaches: 1

Today was a relax day. I woke up at 4 in the afternoon and watched a couple movies with some mates. I eventually went out with one of my roommates for a couple hours at a bar. I didn't drink at all and he was really drunk (surprised he got in haha) so i spent a good amount of the time making sure he didn't get kicked out and keeping track of him. I made one approach when there was a HB 6.5 in proximity but other than that no approaches. I used a no opener and wasn't feeling it so I stopped after transitioning. Today was one of those days where I just felt like keeping to myself. I've come to the conclusion rolling with girls is the way to go so I tick off the preselection. Either that or starting off by opening guys and slowly working my way up the social ladder. I keep on reading magic bullets and I'm starting to really digest more of it and "get it". Tomorrow will be more productive.

Day 6

Approaches: 2
Numbers: 0
Lays: 0

Today was a great day. I had a busy day between school, basketball, gym, and the new american pie movie. It's a funny movie, not as good as the originals, but great to see everyone team up together in it. Anyways, back to pickup. I made 2 approaches today. Things are starting to get easier and easier for me and the openers are really slowing down. I'm not reaching for threads as much and I'm realizing when I have social value and when DHVs are needed. I'm also working on the art of storytelling, mostly the emotional state.

Onto the approaches. The first approach was at the bus stop, i helped out an HB 6 figure out what time the bus she was looking for would come. She seemed like a nice girl but I didn't have enough time to get her emotionally invested enough. The other approach was on the bus with a milf HB 5. She was a little old and fobby for me (fresh off boat) but she was in great shape considering she was into her 40's. I sat next to her and we talked about a range of topics and I threw in a couple dhv stories. When she got off at her stop she patted me on the arm and wished me good luck with my semester. Needless to say, I was pretty happy I successfully attracted her. Tomorrow should be even better than today wish me luck

Day 7

Approaches: 2

Today wasn't amazingly productive because I caught up on some sleep but I did fit in 2 approaches. My first approach was on the bus with an HB 7.5 and a HB 6.5. I used the opener "hey where are you from?" with a skeptical look. I use it whenever I notice an american/canadian accent. It always works great and transitions nicely into conversation. I started off strong in the interaction with some teasing but I didn't control the set as much as I needed to. I need to embed more DHVs and incorporate a tad more teasing and control the flow of conversation. I was a little slow on reaching for new threads and as such the 7.5 controlled the conversation which equals dlv. Still, I made progress with this interaction and if I see them again I'll try again.

The second approach was with an HB 7 that I opened with a situational opener. I transitioned with some humor, which worked perfectly. I could tell I was flicking the attraction switches but she had to go another direction (we were walking together). It was a very short interaction but it was a success. Gotta go for the number close next time.

Totals for week 1

Approaches: 16
Numbers: 0
Lays: 0

I'm really happy with how my first week went. I made approaching a habit, which I know is critical to getting better. Still, I'd love to increase my number of approaches. I'm going to shoot for at least 20 this next week. I would love to set a target for numbers and lays but I feel like that is too goal oriented. I want to focus on my skills and see if my increase in confidence and skills lead to more numbers and lays. Regardless, the first week has allowed me to open without AA in day game and I'm aware how I am doing in each set. Progress! Woot woot!

I saw a friend of mine with an HB 5.5 so I went over and introduced myself and had a quick chat. I thought she was a lot more attractive until she took her sunglasses off. That's a killer. Oh well, arranged for a night out tomorrow with them so tomorrow should be more productive. Wish me luck.

Day 9

Approaches: 3
Numbers: 0
Lays: 0

Today was a lot more productive than yesterday. I main thing I took from today is that warm up sets help me sooo much. It just allows me to get into a talkative mood, which is what I need to be in when I game. My first approach was with an HB 6.5 in the library. A really pretty girl but just a tad heavy. Anyways, I recognized her from somewhere before so I went over and opened with "hey you look really familiar where do I know you from?" We figured it out, we met at orientation a couple months back. She had an essay due in an hour but I talked with her a good 10 to 15 mins so that's a good IOI. Didn't generate enough attraction but had a good amount of comfort going and new threads were naturally integrated into the conversation. I left saying I had to go but gave her my name and uni for her to add me on facebook. Probably should've just got her contact info, poop.

The second approach was immediately after the previous one at the bus stop. Saw this hb 7 and sat next to her while waiting for the best stop. Did my usual bus game "Hey has the blue bus came yet?". I transitioned into "Okay thanks. What bus are you waiting for?". I then guessed where her stop was, which she said I was wrong. She was a little cold at first but then I turned it around by consciously adding humor into our interaction and teasing/mocking her. She ended up putting away her ipod and always trying to restart the conversation so I knew I had a good amount of attraction going. Sat next to her on the bus which allows for some easy kino. We were talking about traveling and she reluctantly mentioned she had a boyfriend. She was a nice girl but not my type so afterward I just wished her the best and went shopping.

The last approach was grocery shopping, I asked an employee where the mustard was and then a girl asked a question right after me and we both were going to aisle 8. I opened with "You're going to aisle 8 too huh?". She didn't really seem to understand. I didn't really care to pursue her so I just kept walking haha. Gotta love being tired. Anywho, tomorrow I've got work but afterward going out woot woot! First night out with alcohol in 3 or so weeks. Gonna be a lightweight but I plan on just having fun with my mates. That obviously includes approaching some girls

Things to remember: Warm up sets help get me in state

TMT

Hey buddy,
great job, you're sticking to it!!

I've been trying day game myself for a few weeks in Santa Monica so I can relate to that. One thing I have absolutely learned is that Warm up sets are super important. You're spot on on that one!
And just yesterday I found a video of Andy Yosha - a great tip for day game and getting in state - you should check it out on youtube.

He's talking about the concept of "state shifting" where you gradually become in state per approach, so make the first ones completely casual and don't even hope for anything on the first few ones.

I've promised my best friend to approach 6 girls tomorrow, so I shall do that beginning with state shift

Loads of luck, We're in this together Bro
Cheers,
Andy

Thanks Andy for the love! I checked out that video and it's spot on. It's nice to hear other people doing the same thing as it's very motivating. Let me know how it's going with your approaches I love pushing the limits!

Now I haven't posted for the last couple days because I was out of town on a camping trip with family friends, which was amazing. Good people + good food + good drinks = good times. Tomorrow I'll post with day 9 adventures and I'll try and keep spicing it up. Cheers!

Day 10

Approaches: 3

Yesterday I literally surfed all day and it was glorious! After taking a short nap with sunburns all over my buddy convinced me to go out at night to a bar for a brazzo party. We prelashed with some hard cider and it tasted decent, but it really packed a punch which I'll get to in a second.

At the bar I approached three different girls. All crashed and burn but it wasn't anything horrible. I just used "how's it going" on all three. They were all friendly when I opened but my transition needs work. I was really close to having a hb6.5 hook then I lost it.

Part of the problem was that the cider did not agree with our stomachs and we actually spent more time on the toilet than the dance floor haha. It was pretty bad. Nice warm up for day 11. Looking forward to improving! Woot woot!

TMT

hey tmt! remember the 6 aproaches i was planning? that turned out to be a great day! did 3 tiny ones (random people, none of em hb's) before work, which was great though! as soon as i was at work i was super social with everyone. people even commented on my energy level (which could have been a bit lower but hey ) we talked a lot and towards the evening they asked me if i wanna join them for a beer. I said yeah, why not. So we started walking over to the bar eventually. While walking i see ths hb8. Not my type but who cares. Run after her and open confidently, with pauses and a big and honest smile (if i may say so myself ) with "hey... I saw you back there... And i had tn say hi (enormous smile)." it worked great. We talked for max 5min but exchanged numbers. I could tell she was attracted to me.. Or atleast she loved my aproach! what also helped was that while we talked two coworkers of mine passed us and asked me if im coming. So there you have it texted her the next day with a dhv and that i had to think of her. The text was "hey katie! Im sitting outside with some friends and having a magnum, so i felt like writing you:) andy". Texted back and forth for a bit... Lots of value;) texted the next day as well and got her facebook. Damn shes hotter than i remembered amazing what a little bit of eyeliner does to a girl on the pictures. Anyway texted briefly today again and asked her out for thursday. Text was like this: me: "what you doing thursday nite?" she: "no plans yet:) what do you have in mind" me: "perfect. Got alot of work to do this week but ill be going out with some colleagues after work. Probably somewhere on the promenade. It would be awesome if you'd come!" she said she' love to so i closed the conversation: "sounds great:) we'll be in touch" she answered, cool, smiley, bla. Didnt reply to that. Soooo that happened couple of hours ago. lets see where this is headed huh? thats it on my end. Keep the progress reports coming and do more than just 3 sets! 3 sets is when you just got warm:) take care brother! Andy
