Background:
I wont go into detail about how I got here so you can read my intro if you want to know but I will say that I have decided to get back into the game about a month and a half ago. I am a 34 year hispanic former AFC and I am ready to get back out run some game. I realized I used to have game but it was sloppy and it could have been so much better. After reading "The Game" and watching the PUA with Mystery, I decided I could do this. So, to start off, I dont make a lot of money and ride the bus to work. My son and step daughter live with their mother so I have most of my weekends free. The past month I decided I could peacock but not extreme. I found some really cool shirts at Goodwill (clothing resale shop in the states) for very cheap and spent some money on some nice shoes and did some more reading and made some notes.
Week 1:
As a teen I could open anybody and just talk and it was no problem, but I think since I have been at my apt alone for so long (2 years) and all my male friends are married or just dont go out looking for chicks I seemed to have a problem opening during the day. I decided to open women at work that I would never really talk to. It seemed strange at first but I started getting more comfortable and tried my best just to carry the conversation. I worked out very well and I got a lot of smiling faces. I was at the bus stop one morning and glanced at this cute girl at the bus stop who I made eye contact with but I glanced away and just sat down and didnt say anything. After I sat down I realized she turned and faced my direction like she was looking down the street for the bus but she was not standing that way when I walked up. I sat there and realized I had approach anxiety, even though the body language IOI was there. I couldnt believe it. I just froze. She got on the bus I got on and even got off where I got off. I went in the mall to get some breakfast when I got off and I literally followed her (not on purpose) and still didn't say anything. I realized this is something I really need to work on. Since then I have been working on my inner game and recorded some affirmation on my cell phone and listening to it on my way to work. I think its working! I also wrote some stuff down and used a lot of advice from the inner game section of this forum.
Week 2:
A female friend I havent hung out with was having a wedding reception and invited me to hang out. I have declined her invitations for along time because at one point she was my one-itis and I landed in the friend zone. We actually slept together but I would always supplicate big time and I think I have turned women off a lot because of this or even had women cheat on me because of this. I reallized I dont like or want her any more so I decided I needed to rebuild my social circle again and after reading about pivots and DHV's, I had a ton of female friends and never took advantage of these opportunities. So I used this chance to practice conversation and it worked out great. She hugged me tight because she has not seen me in so long and then introduced me to her friends. I had more than one female friend there whom gave me real big hugs and seemed like it gave me some real big DHV spikes. I had practiced conversation although I was still pretty nervous since it has been months since I was even social at all. During one conversation I had with this mans wife I was getting IOI's the whole time. Couldn't believe it! She kept rubbing her hands and look at me with a big smile and hung on every word when I spoke. I would never hit on a married women but it felt good knowing IOI's were there. I forgot to mention the whole week I was kind of gaming this one girl at work just to see if I could draw attraction and she had a boyfriend but she kept mentioning that her daughter was with her dad and that she was going out. I mentioned that I might be on that side of town and she gave me her number. I swear my hand was shaking when I got her number but it was awesome. The point of that story is that after the reception I met up with her at the club with some good friends of mine that picked me up. I tried the finger thing were the fingers closed but the bitch kept her fingers wide open, and I tried mind reading (Mystery Method) and I could not for the life of me get any more attraction. After the failed attempt I just hung out and drank. I attempted to open one set but it was poorly done and it was clear that I was not sincere. They were sitting in an isolated area of the club with just two of them and I walked up these stairs and passed like three empty tables and asked them who do they think lies more. .... After that night I decided natural game is the way for me.
Week3:
I would like to start this one off by saying I got a date set up for Sunday but with a girl I knew for a while and slept with about a year ago. Once I got her on the phone, I swear I used every conversation technique I could remember and it seemed to work. I swear to god I have talked to her about five other times over the past four months and could not get her to meet up. Im excited. On too the beginning of this week....
This would be the third week I have decided to run game. I have been keeping up with my hair nails and starched my work clothes nicely. I work in a mortgage office by the way. I have had some older ladies at work tell me I look GQ the previous week so that was nice and I have tried to just open or talk to any one I come in contact with all this week. I realized I dont need a super big goofy grin to smile and that it can be done with your eyes only. I read this one article about giving creative compliments and I have been trying this all week but its kind of sad because I dont think I have met anyone I could compliment honestly on or off the bus so I didnt try until today. I went to a department store after work looking for a money clip and walked up to this cute black girl HB8 and asked her if they had any.
Her: I'll check for you. (gets on walkie talkie - do we have any money clips? - No were all out).
Her: Smiles * No Im sorry were all out.
Me: What did somebody come and buy them all out?
Her:Smiles* They are very popular and go quick.
Me: Really, wow. What do you think about a man that busts out with a money clip instead of a wallet?
Her: I think they would be very organized because you have all your stuff in one place, blah blah blah....
Me:Cool, hey! I really like that nose ring you have on. Its cute.
Her: BIG SMILE* Thank You!
Me: Whats your name?
Her: Shayla
Me: You are so cute! Thank you for your help! - walks away with a smile
That approach was good practice to me. I wasnt trying to number close, but I think I could have. I then took the bus home and later went to a local place to get a burrito. As I was standing in line a HB7ish girl walks up behind me. The line moves along and as they make my order I look to might right and realize she is around an HB8. So I notice she gets a different kind of meat that is not chicken or beef.
Me: What kind of meat is that? I dont think I have tried that before. Im not facing her just talking over my right shoulder to her.
Her: Carnita's. Its delicious. I get it all the time, you should try it. She turns to face me.
Me: I turn and face her. She is cute and smiling* Im going to try that next time but if it sucks Im going to look for you. (the smile faded there so I think that came off wrong).
Me: Ooops were holding up the line. Please add lettuce and that will be it.
Lady at the counter: Did ya'll want drinks?
Me: Uh...no drink.
Lady: Your orders are together right? Points at the girl next to me.
Me: I smiled and said Uh... no...looked at her and she smiled at me.
I think she had a ring on so Im not sure I couldve have got any where but I think I could have handled that a whole lot better. Any advice on this would be awesome.
As for this weekend I am hanging with my sister who basically agreed to by my pivot on Saturday and I got a date on Sunday. Things are looking good. I need to keep my head on straight though and avoid one-itis if I get the lay.
Thanks for reading!
TX Krush!
