This is my first number close ever ever. So this is pretty epic to me.

when I set my foot on campus, i was crippled by major AA, but later got over it. Right now, I seem to know what I'm doing, and I just need to practice in order to increase calibration skills.

first approach was an HB6(chubby). I saw her using a macbook pro so i opened by asking if her internet was working. then i rooted my opener by explaining why mine wasn't working. I complimented her for being nice, then added some pull by saying we wouldn't get along too well. She was giggling by this point. I asked for her name, then run the handshakes routine on her. She enjoyed it. added some comfort by talking about where she's from and all that good stuff. After that, I tried getting her to qualify herself by saying " u're cool, we should hang out, but i don't know if u can keep up with me. most of my hang out buddies are adventurous, and u seem like the nice type." She went on by saying that she's just really shy, and isn't used to people walking up and talking to her like that, and she appreciates it. (I felt like a G because she was complimenting me for approaching her). She later told me she plays piano, so I tried to bounce by telling her to come with me to the piano room, but she refused saying she was shy. At this point, I simply asked her what she was doing next week, and she said nothing really. So I invited her to a party of mine and took her number. After that, I spoke to her little bit, then I ejected from the set like a Boss.
This is my first number close. My first day game number close. This may mean nothing to u guys, but to a newbie like me, it means a lot. I'm making progress.

Second approach was a 2 set. HB7(identical twins). I opened by asking if they identical twins, then asked some more questions about being a teen. I later introduced myself, ran the handshake routine which led to some light kino, then nagged them on their hair. I asked them what they studied, and nagged them for choosing a boring major, but I later called them brave for sticking to it. (push/pull baby.) ran some comfort, then moved to the qualifying stage. I tried to get them to qualify to being adventurous, but they didn't seem to wanna invest. At this stage, they were both really enjoying the conversation, and having fun, but when I moved in for the number close, they refused. I was like WTF? But I wasn't mad tho. I continued talking to them, made some push/pull statements, and they complimented me for being bold. I later ejected for i felt like i was wasting my time.
These girls are from india, and they come from a strict family. Maybe that's why they didn't want to come to my party. Or maybe they said no because they thought I was hitting on them. No worries tho. I'll get it right with the next set. I just got rejected by this set, and it doesn't even bother me. Rejection is not as bad as it seems, and I really shouldn't be afraid of it. In fact, I can predict many more rejections for me in the future.

So there it is for today. My first number close. I"m pretty happy.
Things I've learned today
1. girls love it when a random guy approaches them confidently
2. I need to disqualify myself in order to put their guards down even more.
3. I need to learn more ways to get the girl to invest.
4. I need to implement more kino in my routines. I've noticed I haven't really been doing this in day game, so I need to make an effort to implement more kino and look confident while doing this.
5. I need to stop my mouth from getting too dry when I'm talking. I might need to carry around a bottle of water just for this. (It's funny how the reason why I'm considering drinking lots of water is to be able to get girls)
6. My limiting beliefs are disappearing slowly but surely.

Feedback on what I can do to improve on my game will be greatly appreciated.

You should be proud of your first number close! You are the man, and dont let anyone make you feel any different. Keep that frame and dont get down if you get blown out.

From what you are saying on the second set, it sounds like you had a good thing going but you have to remember that culture can be a factor especially with chicks from India. A lot of arranged marriages are done in India so you have to conisider this may be a reason.

Thanks man, I will try my best to keep this frame, and I am beginning to realize that getting blown out is part of the PUA journey, and I'm completely fine with that. There will always be the next set. Yeah, about the indian chicks, I kinda felt like the culture was a factor, but right now, I don't really care.
I try to think of picking up chicks as playing a video game with the opener being the first stage, and sex being the last stage. It helps me get into the "outcome independent" state.

Actually, that was some decent technique. You've obviously been studying. Some guys study like that and never get over AA, but it looks like you are well on your way. Good job!

Don't be ashamed of the first # close being a HB6. I almost always warm up on hired guns and the like before getting serious. Plus, she'll have a circle of friends that may prove to be beneficial.

Women do indeed love it when a confident guy opens them (95% of the time, the other 5% their life or emotions get in the way). It's something they can brag about to all of their friends, none of whom had a guy come up and talk to them that day.This is also where the 3 second rule comes into effect, because if a woman makes the effort to send you an IOI and you don't act on it, she will see it as a rejection, 100% of the time.

Getting the girl to invest will help with the stages after the introduction. A lot has been written about this lately, as far as making a leading statement and inviting the girl to qualify herself "I like people who travel because they tend to be intelligent and adventurous. Have you done anything exciting?"

Personally, I've found that kino is easy with push/pull and a little playfulness in the banter.

For the dry mouth, check out Biotene gum. It's made for that, and any pharmacist will carry it, even Walmart carries it.

thanks a lot for the advice man. I have been studying, and honestly, I don't think I'll completely get over AA anytime soon, but I'm on my way there. And i am in no way ashamed of my first close being a HB6. u gotta start small and then go from there. I really see ur point on getting girls to invest. That's what I've been trying to do so far, but I still need to work on that area. And ur idea of kino makes perfect sense. It's just gonna take a while for me to internalize all this stuff. and thanks for the tip on the dry mouth too. I'll buy some tomorow.

right when I think i'm done sarging for the day, I see an HB7 with big tits.
I was on my way to the school entrance to wait for my bro to pick me up from school, then I saw this HB7 studying. When I saw her, i was being defeated by two limited beliefs: fear of rejection, and fear of being judged by other people watching.
This time, I won my battle over my limiting beliefs, and approached with a situational opener which went like this:" what kind of laptop is that?" After talking about her laptop for a few minutes, I shifted to talking about what she was studying. I nagged her for being a nerd who studies all the time, and she was laughing. I went right away into comfort, asking her what her major is and stuff like that. While doing this, I was teasing her from time to time, and she was enjoying my little banter. After that, I asked for her name, then ran the handshakes routine on her. She enjoyed the kino from the handshake. I performed a little bit more kino while running conversational threads with the girl, and she responded positively to it. At this point, she was feeling me, and I was loving it. At this point, I felt safe going in for the number, so I did. I got her number by inviting her to a party of mine in the near future, then I asked her how I could get to her. She offered her number to me.
At one point, I felt weird about the fact that I was actually talking to a girl. I noticed an old black woman looking at me while I was receiving he number, but I really didn't give a fuck about her opinion (limiting belief proven wrong).The whole idea of pick up is really weird when you think about it for a while, but so long as it produces results, it should be trusted.
Right after having her number, my brother came to pick me up from school, so I ejected like a boss.

I thought I was happy after my first number close, but I was even ten times happier after this one. Man it feels good to see progress. A month ago, I didn't even have the courage to think of talking to a girl. Two number closes in one day isn't bad for a rookie like me who has very little experience with the opposite sex. I can't wait to go back into the field and sarge again in order to get more experience. I'm pretty excited to see this chick again for her tits look pretty nice, and I would love to suck on them, but if it doesn't work out, I will simply move on with my PUA journey with no regrets and no "oneitis".

Good drills pal!

thanks mate

Your second was rough because those girls were Indian. Very strict culture. I live in
SoCal, which is really diverse. Up until this day, I have only seen like 2 indian girls dating someone outside there cultural.

Good job and keep it up.

Do not give up on the piano girl though. She could be a nice way in to her social circle full of babes. mmmmm
