So I have been around for awhile just reading everything I can get my hands on.
In my intro post (link later), I talk about PUA not only being used to women but giving a general consensus for a better outlook on life. Essentially your molding and creating yourself into a person you want to be. A lot of the stuff I read here and other places, I use in workplace settings and general conversations.

To start off, I find myself a mixture between introvert and extrovert. I'm introvert sided but being extro takes my out of my comfort zone. Essentially this journal will go from intro to extrovert over time and show my transformation.

FR #1 - The Bank.
Went to the gym had a amazing workout. This is something I'm currently working on to get myself into shape, I have a good body but a little pudgy. Going to the gym always feels great. Proceed to go to the bank to do my weekly deposits. Greet the teller, shes a HB7-8. While she's doing her work, I tell shes nervous. So i decide to ask her about her watch. It was a nice fossil watch with a little flashy bling. Proceed to crack a few jokes on blinged out watches. Find out shes a local and goes to the university here. We're in similar programs, i crack a few jokes here and there to make her laugh. Now that i think it over there was some attraction. So before i leave with my money, I'm direct.
"Hey i dont't do this a lot, but you seem pretty nice, how about i take you out to coffee sometime?" She starts blushing like crazy. Looks at her manager to which i reply
"I'm not breaking any employee/client privileges by asking a beautiful women out am i?"

So from here i take out my phone to hand to her to get my number. We're kinda on awk silence here (my fault). She grabs a paper and jots down her number. Here's where i mess up, i text her a few hours later. Instead of the B4 u text her, where they mention to text it straight after to keep attraction.
Send a text "hey its __, nice meeting at the bank, i take it my money is in good hands with someone who cant count!" (callback humor she kept messing up the bills)

No reply, text her 2 days later. Mistake 2, sent her a text i seen here about congratulating on something. Proceed to text a second time (few hours later, HUGE afc mistake) and ask what kinda trouble she's causing this weekend.

All in all, figured she gave her number to avoid a awkward "no." Learning lesson, I'll text again in 2 weeks and see if it goes anywhere. Lesson learnt!

I work at a local social area on our school campus in which i talk to hundreds of different people all day. Going to be using this to test out few routines. I'll update this every couple of days. I am currently seeing a girl i been gaming, we're on/off and its mostly come over and get frisky haha.

Main goals are to use PUA to develop myself into a better person overall. From gaming to social settings, creating a persona of being fun and out of the box.

Goals:
-Stay consistent with gym. (been going for a month 4-5 days a week)
- Get at leat 5 new numbers a week
- Sarge and/or meet local PUAs to run routines with. (When this happens, you'll see more changes as I am a huge visual learner)

-Rid myself of ego, such as negative thinking, being able to approach easier. Less social anxiety.
-Within 4 months loose my gut, and have a decent developed body.
- Get into Uni, currently in college so using transfer credits
- Create a aura, project myself, project my confidence, project positivity to everyone i meet.
-Last but not least, slowly quit smoking the ghanja haha, can't help it. I only smoke up when i'm done all my work usually. But none the less, it's better gone. (can't believe i said that...)

TLDR: Develop myself into a sexy beast, be more social, gym more, get into uni. I have now started Project Awesome.

Oct 20 - Was in a solid mood to go out. Few of my buddies wanted to go to the night club. So we all went down there, smoked some ghanja before going in (bad idea). No clue why I did that, but when we got in I grabbed my favorite drink, whiskey sour. Was in a good mood but just kept getting approach anxiety. I've read this stuff and know most of it on the back of my hand, but just couldn't function and approach some girls. Not sure what it was, the loud electro/house music or just myself. I had a decent night with some buddies I haven't seen in awhile. But in the back of my mind, I couldn't figure out why I didn't approach anyone. I think it was the anxiety mixed with the loud music of the club, and me not knowing how to dance the greatest.

Trying to work on approaching more this week, need to kill off my ego. Every time I don't approach, its another opportunity missed. Need to get my head in the right mind set and worry about nothing, after all I'm always telling people to not worry about anything and go with the flow.

Been going to the gym so that's one thing I am maintaining. Was a bit harder this past 2 weeks as exams were coming up. Going to try and make more approaches, key now is to break my ego and not care what happens, just go for fun and the game haha.

Nov 6 Update- Schools been keeping me busy. Lot of assignments, midterms and stuff. I had to work a long shift today, and proceeded to go to the gym. The gym really pumps me up, because, for once, I'm doing something that is for the betterment of my personal self. To be more fit and muscular, been working at it pretty hard. Saw a girl there that I had been seeing for the past 2 weeks, we both come at the same time. I was doing a bit of cardio and saw her looking over a few times, proceeded to take that as a slight interest. So, I didn't really want to approach in my gym clothes smelling like sweat, proceeded to change and before i left i was going to make sure i got get her number.

I see her doing some back workout, so walk over, and she sees me coming. Proceed to go with "Hey, i saw you here before, I don't usually break my own rules, but i'm in a rush and would like to get your number!" She basically told me she's from a few city's over studying here (medical pharmacy). Made a few jokes about having to be super smart to study that, the convo was going stale, i was in a rush. So i basically cut it off short and said I had to head out, we'll catch up.
Number close successful, in less that 5 minutes, was pretty good. This time i made sure to keep talking when this girl was typing her number into my phone, keeping the convo going.

This time I didn't make the mistake i did in my previous posts to wait and text. Sent her a text right away:
"hey gym rat, if you get caught selling drugs, we never met. " (call back humor from our encounter)
She replies: "hahahha, not even the 1st time i heard that....ill see ya soon."

Nov 7 - Didn't text her at all, was going to wait till some other day. We have the same work out times. was almost done my workout, and saw her upstairs using the set of machines i use. So just hopped up beside her. Made quick small talk,mostly me talking. I was pretty tired, so my vibe was not even alive.
"...(further into the convo) Yeah i had to wake up early and pretty much was dead all day, the teacher threatened to kick me outta class, that ever happen to you?"
"hahahha, no!" (proceeds to put ipod headphones back in)

Should probably mention I was talking softly at first so she couldn't really hear me. Like i said i was tired. The thing that got me rattled was. She put her headphone back in, didn't initiate any more conversation. I tried saying something after, but she didn't hear. She basically proceeded to leave and wipe off the machine after 2-3 minutes without saying see ya around or anything. AFC MISTAKE (i think, was tired, immediately tried talking to her the following day, may came off as needy?)

Now i don't know if that's a IOD, or she's not interested. But seems like she was really into her workout. I'm going to text her up in a couple days and use a funny opener or ask her what she likes to do other than sell drugs, and work out her fine legs (just kidding on that last part, may come off as try-hard).

So all in all, It was good so far, I'm learning a bit more. Learning that the gym isn't really the best of places to talk about stuff. I'll be going out in the field at my school to get a few more numbers to build up my confidence from being turned off from this previous girl. I have been reading Mystery's book and some others here and there, but I'm trying to learn more from experience and adapt to what works, and what doesn't.

**I know my posts tend to be long without any real organization, but im pretty exhausted from the gym.

Well its been a long time since I've posted. Quick update, Been reconnecting with a girl recently who moved back into town for the summer. Definitely my "ideal women." It's safe to say i'm getting oneitis, and trying hard to deal with it. It's a tough thing.

First date - Usually leading up the the first date, I proceed with a lot of texting, back and forth, she plays along well, we role play scenarios a lot. Ended up taking her to a nice restaurant on my way before work. It was really nice, got to know her on a personal level, find out about her family, her interests and what not. Did a lot of kino escalations such as hugging and touching. I ended up being late for work by an hour because we hung out for so long. She was sorry about that but we planned to meet again. I couldn't K-close, but we did give each other a kiss on the cheek.

We've been texting a lot the past 2 weeks, and that led to a 2nd date. She flaked the first attempt (family issues) but we made it work on the 2nd attempt. I send a lot of quirky funny scenario texts again and that allowed for everything to warm up till the date.

2nd date- I had planned to take her to a new outlet mall that opened up. The drive down was about 45 mins from where we live. Was a blast in the car, lots of good topics, music, life, relationships. We got to the mall and I gave her a hug to see how well she'd play to kino. She warmed up to it well. We ended up going to a few of my favorite stores. She has a good taste in clothes, I'll admit. We do really stupid things together which is why I think im getting oneitis and falling for her. We just really bounce off eachother so well. Dressed her up and she stole my shades and hat saying she can pull off my outfit better than I can. Took a couple pics with her. Just regular fun mall shenanigans.

She had to leave shortly to check out some apartments in the city over, I was going to be around the area so decided to go to another mall (hadn't shopped in a long time). We were discussing relationships prior to dropping her off at the mall and she was telling me how she had to wait "6 hrs for her bf" at this mall, and he ended up bailing on her. Apparently he woke up really late and slept in and she left to go home and was pissed off. It took her 3 hours to get back, I didn't mind waiting. I texted her with some call back stuff

"this one time I had to wait for this girl for 3 hours, was she worth it? "
Her: Was it really worth it? even though I'm a complete fool at times?
Me: Hell yeah, worth it. I'd rather know you got home safe anyhow

She never really texted after that till I picked her up from the mall and headed to dinner at a nice restaurant I know of. Dinner was good though, She's really responsive and carries the conversation well. I sometimes zone out and she just keeps the conversation going. We had a fun time all in all. I dropped her back home, couldnt K close again. No idea why.

I closed out for a day from her and didnt text her. The following day I made a AFC move, We were texting about relationships and I told her that "shes really cool to hang out with, really down to earth girl that I really like, just want ya to know that." She just replied with the whole girly "D'aww thats really cute of you." and continued our convo from where we left off via text (we were talking about good cooking recipes."

I become very oneitis around this time when I actually told her that I was into her. I promised myself I would't make this mistake after first ex from 5 years ago. The other women i've date, things just happened, or they would tell me they're into me. You pua guys know what I am getting at now, shes really different and that is why I told her. 2 days passed and no text or call. I thought she just wasn't into it. I text her asking to join me for a beer pong game on saturday for my friends party. She said she would love to come out if it isn't too late (has to work in the morning). And proceeds to send me 10 text messages in response to my previous ones that she didn't get around too. She sends alot of chain texts, I know chain texts are an IOI, so I guess I'm working things out and progressing slowly. I mentioned we talked about good cooking recipes before, she tried one of the ones i mentioned to her and absolutely fell in love with it. I guess this AFC mistake on my part isn't so bad. She hasn't told me how shes felt, but based on what i've posted; she's either into me, unsure, or needs time.

So we're going to see where this goes now. Have a option for a 3rd hangout (wouldn't consider a beer pong bday tournament a date). I'll see how this flows. And to top it off, my ex texted me to come over to "watch movies." Interesting predicaments.

Not the greatest at writing up journals, but hopefully that improves. Thanks for reading!
