Introduction
- PUA name Vito.
- Long Island, New York
- 23 year old medical student.
- Brown skin color.
- 5'10, 220 pounds.
- Short, thinning hair with a shaved face.
- I've known about PUA lifestyle for about a year and a half now, but never really applied any of it to my real life. Most of the time I was either too busy or too shy to really do anything.
- I loved THE GAME, and I am in the process of reading it for a second time.
- I have to be honest, I never really believed in any of the PUA routines and tricks, I always assumed it was all made up stuff meant to sell books and workshops.
- It wasn't until a few months ago when I realized just how lonely and unhappy I was. I haven't had a girlfriend in over a year, and my socializing skills were pathetic.
- So here I am trying to better my life, my journey to be a better man starts here.

May 31 2013
- Most days I usually study for my upcoming board exams, but lately I've been trying to spend at least an hour a day trying cold approaches.
- I'm currently living in Carbondale Illinois a small town, but it is home to Southern Illinois University, so there are a lot of college students running around.
- I spend around 10 hours a day at Barnes and Nobles. It makes a great place to study and socialize with people.

Field Report
- Before I started approaching anyone I made the effort to smile and maintain eye contact with any woman walking by me. Almost all of them smiled back including a HB8 Milf with her kid.
- I came up with an opener about a huge thunderstorm that was suppose to hit the area, it went something like this:
"Excuse me, do you know anything about the storm that was suppose to hit here the other day? I was listening to the news the other day and supposedly Carbondale was going to be affected."
- Admittedly it isn't the best opener, but I am new at this.
- I didn't really use this more then twice.
- The first time it was on a middle aged woman who was standing in line with me at the cafe inside the store.
- In the future I'll try to make notes on what she said and what I said but for now I'm paraphrasing:
- Me : "Excuse me, do you know anything about the storm that was suppose to hit here the other day?"
- Her: "Yeah I heard about it to, I don't thing anything was affected thankfully."
- Conversation went on for about a few minutes. All the while i maintained eye contact and smiled at her.
- I then changed topics about why I was in Carbondale and how I liked the town. She gave me bits of her life story.
- I wasn't expecting anything from this exchange, just a way to warm up.
- After about 5 minutes she left and I went back to my table to continue studying.
- A few hours later I got up and decided to take a break.
- The Barnes and Nobles I stay at has a lot of other shops and stores nearby so I went for a bit of a walk.
- Nothing was happening outside so I went back in the store, there were several HB5s and 6s and one HB7 reading something in the Christian section (Need to come up with an opener on religion.
- This being my real time I was too chicken shit to approach any of them. I just felt so anxious and worse, I felt a bit creepy. I know the whole reason to do this experiment is to overcome social anxiety, I have a lot of work to do.
- I did manage one more approach for the day. It was with a decent looking woman in her 30s.
- She was one of those hippie looking girls, a tattoo of the peace symbol on her shoulder and a short sort of punk like hair cut.
- I was looking at a box of tarrot cards on sale and decided to use that as my opener.
- Me: Hi, tell me do you believe in the power of these things (holding the tarrot cards in my hand with a smile and constant eye contact).
- Her: Yes I do (giving me an almost emotionless stare)
- Me: Really, do they really tell the future and all that.
- Her: (Still emotionless) I used to be a reader to a few friends, on girl told me my predictions were always accurate.
- Me: Wow that's pretty amazing. You have to read my future one day.
- Her: Haha maybe.
- I could tell it was going nowhere because she didn't seem all that interested to talk.
- We fluffed a bit and I mentioned how I liked her tattoo, she thanked me and I exited.
- I spent the rest of the day studying.

Epilogue
- All in all it was a pretty weak beginning, I am still trying to overcome my social anxieties, but I did get a huge boast of confidence talking to the first girl I approached.
- I well try updating this as often as I can, hopefully with better results.
- I well also update the format this is written in and try to better remember my conversations and my interactions so as to break them down easier.

June 02 2013
- Just finished another day and so far all I have been doing is getting over my approach anxiety. So far it's going pretty good. No number closes as of yet but I have been slowly working on my body language and conversational skills.

Field Report
- Spent about an hour and a half today walking around different stores around the shopping center. In total I did about 10 approaches and kept 4 conversations going.
- First girl I approached was a simple warm up. I'm using a new opener: " Hi do you go to the local college by any chance?" If they reply yes the next thing I ask is "Do you know anything about the bus schedule? I'm new here and in still trying to figure it out." She wasn't a student and didn't know so I quickly ejected.
- Next I approached a two set sitting next to me at Barnes and nobles. They looked to be in there late 20s both chubby and not very good looking but I needed the practice so I went engaged them. I used the college opener on both of them and one even took the time to help me. We fluffed a bit on what they did, both of them doing there doctorates in something I can't remember. Conversation lagged and died out. After a little while one of them left and the other was about to follow. I stopped her and continued to chat for a another 2-3 minutes before she left. All in all it was a minor ego boast that helped me out.
- The next few set weren't anything special just some small talk and goodbyes.
- I went to Walmart to buy some groceries and a new shirt.
- I stopped a few women ranging from 20-30 all of them between hb6-9 and used a new opener. "Hi, can I get you opinion on something, which has cheaper fruits, here or the grocery store down the street." I managed to fluff a bit with the hb6 she seemed friendly and genuinely wanted to help. In all my approaches I kept a smile and proper eye contact.
- I bought my groceries and then went to the clothing aisle. While looking at some t shirts I was interested in, I spotted a decent looking hb7 with face piercings and a sexy figure. Problem was she was with her kids but I didn't care. I picked up two different colored shirts casually and asked her which one she thought was better.
She looked much cuter up close and I panicked a little when she was looking at them. After a few seconds I cracked and said I personally thought the dark red one looked a bit better. She agreed and left right after. I hated my self for not going further with that one. I think I could have had a good conversation with her, she seemed friendly.
- I left the store and ended up back at Barnes and nobles for a bit. Waiting for cab I talked to a hb6 and asked her about the bus schedule. We fluffed a bit about the college but her friend showed up, so I thanked her for her help and she left.

Epilogue
- Not a bad day, the things I really need to work on though is mid game and keeping there interest. I feel like using canned routines during the day won't work so any mid game suggestions you could give would be appreciated.

June 4 2013

- Today was a pretty standard day. My goal still is to get over my AA and I've been doing this by approaching as many women as possible until I'm immune to it or at least gotten used to the AA.
- I went back to the same shopping center to practice my day game and approached several girls all of which were hb6-8 using my bus stop opener. In case you forgot it went like this; "Excuse me do you know where the bus stop is around here? I'm new around here so I'm not sure." In all of these approaches I kept eye contact and always gave them a smile. Most couldn't help me, but a few we're kind enough to guide me where I needed to go. I wanted to take the conversation further but I always freeze up with mid game. I'm having trouble changing the topic or coming up with something interesting to say.
- Anyway after a while I gave up for a bit and studied for several hour at Barnes and nobles. Around 4-5 hours later I stopped and decided to walk around a bit and see if anyone interesting was here.
- I found this cute chick sitting by herself. So I casually walked around the area she was sitting at. After a few minutes I took a book off the shelf, sat down on the chair near her and pretended to read it. A few minutes later she got a phone call from one of her friends and while I didn't know what she was talking about, I was certain shed leave soon. A few minutes after the call, she got up and started to head away. That's when I opened her.
- Me: "Hi do you go to the local college by any chance?" (Big smile with lots of eye contact).
- Before she started speaking she gave the widest smile I've ever seen a girl give and for a second I started to feel a bit nervous, but them I saw her teeth. Her front two teeth were a bit crooked, nothing too damaging, but after I saw it all doubt and AA I had in me vanished and I just started to casually chat with her.
- the girl was very sweet and helpful. She even took out her phone and started to look up local bus schedules trying to help me out. This is when I started to mess up. I asked her about what she was studying, she told me marketing and I was like oh that's cool... Then nothing. I felt speechless and I just didn't know how to continue. I knew I could keep the conversation going but just couldn't think of anything. I did act all cocky funny making fun of her glittery phone cover and how spoiled she was because she had a car. She seemed into it but I just couldn't transition. After a long stretch of silence I told her thank for the help and left.

Epilogue
- My mid game need a HUGE improvement. I have trouble transitioning to something else and keep freezing up when I should keep engaging keeping the conversation going. Any help you guys could give me would be appreciated.

Hi there. Welcome. A few pointers to get you started - AA will never really go away, you just learn how to handle it and realize it's not a big deal.

Secondly - you're having problem transitioning. Why is this? Because you are probably finding it weird to continue the conversation. You are going indirect - why? Because you are afraid to make your intent clear? This game runs on intent my man. But you will get to know that anyway. Just know that being indirect is alright as long as you are solid in your intent. So if your intent is to truly be indirect then you will be genuine and will have no problem with the conversation. You are stalling because you are being INCONGRUENT and you know it. You are using indirectness as a way to mask your intent. Don't do that.

A few key pointers here that will probably be useful:
Know what you want and go for that unapologetically. Stop caring about what she thinks. You are probably walking up to her and want to get to know her. Do just that. Get to know her. How do you get to know people? You talk about things. So talk about things, specifically about her. She will not find it awkward if your intent to get to know her is shown, either verbally or in the vibe or even physically (in the club). The important thing here is to own it and to stay congruent to that. Your midgame is not lacking it's just that you are setting up a frame from the beginning that you cannot hold - namely the frame that "I'm here to ask you just this one question about where the bus is." Once she's told you...great. Now what? Naturally this has come to an end. You have fulfilled your "intent" if that truly was your intent, but since it wasn't you haven't really, you've just been incongruent to it. Now you can go up to her with the same question and stay congruent to your intent. However you must be prepared to show it by continuing to talk and get to know her unapologetically or by stating it verbally - "Actually, I just thought you were really cute and I had to find an excuse to come talk to you." If you own it and do it FULLY it will work. Anything works if you do it FULLY.

So you see how it is not your midgame that is fucking up, but rather your framing from the beginning? The framing from the beginning is extremely important, since it sets the frame for the ENTIRE interaction hereon out all the way until sex and beyond. You want to, have to come from a man to woman frame, anything else won't fly. You are the man, she is the woman, and therefore you have to take action, you have to take the steps, since this is the ONLY way to get the girl. You have to risk it, but anything else will fail, be creepy, be awkward, etc. This is the ONLY way. An example of awkwardness would be you walking up to her and asking for the bus stop, then you are stuck in this frame and now changing to the man to woman frame is unexpected and it becomes this big moment where you have to suddenly state your intent. Your intent should be there from the start to avoid this stupid awkward moment. Get what I'm saying? If you use the example above of stating your intent right after, the intent should still be there in the opening bus stop line - you are asking her but you don't REALLY want to know you are really here to...get to know her because she's cute. Now the conversation can fly if she hooks. How to up your chances of her hooking? Walk up and own it. Then get to know her, get the number or an instant date, and push for the most you can. If it comes to an end get her number, arrange a date and get outta there

Hope this was not too much information, but this just needs to get sorted early on so you're on the right track. Good luck bro!

June 07 2013

- Been busy the last few days and had little time to really sarge, but I was able to make some time today
- Only managed a few approaches today, weird for a friday around here, but you don't always get lucky with a crowd.

Field Report
- I got to the shopping area around 3 and did what I normally did to get myself set, I smiled at everyone who passed by and said hello. A few even said hello back, none of them anything to look at though.
- I headed into the mall and walked around for a bit just looking around seeing what was around me. As I said before it was pretty dead today so there wasn't a lot of chances to approach.
- I saw this thick black girl sitting by herself so I approached her, smiling of course and asked her if she knew the directions to a restaurant that was close by. She gladly gave me the directions, but as she was her boyfriend came through making this awkward as hell. I thanked her for the directions and ejected.
- There wasn't anything else going around me so I went to Barnes and Nobles again and chilled there for a bit. Again not a lot happening, but by then it was around 5 pm so I wasn't expecting a lot.
- I saw a few approachable girls but mostly with there guy friends and I'm still working the nerve to approach mixed sets, just seems weird to me.
- Other then that nothing else happened and I ended up going home.

Epilogue
- It was a slow day today and I'll admit part of of the reason was because I couldn't get properly into it.
- I need to work on taking a chance when given to me. Even though it was a slow day I could've made the attempt to approach more but chickened out.

June 09 2013
- Not a bad day today. I crashed and burned on one set, but did pretty well on another.
- I'm trying to break down everything as it comes back to me so I can remember what I felt so I can overcome it.

Field report
- As usual I spent about 2 hours today just sarging. I started by smiling at everyone I passed by giving them a greeting, trying to build my self up. Today being a Sunday I expected a lot of people around, but mostly housewives and there families, still I wasn't discouraged.
- First few approaches I did were to older women asking them for directions to the nearest Walmart or asking if a nearby restaurant was any good. I went ok for the most part but a few we're cold in responding to me.
- When I got to Barnes and Nobles the first real approach I did was to a thick girl hb4 nothing special, normally a girl I wouldn't find attractive, but I needed the practice so I hit her up without really thinking. At the end of it I felt like I just went through a traumatic experience. Here's what happened:
- She was walking by and almost without realizing it I opened her. I used my bus stop opener. She couldn't help me at all and gave me a sort of weird look, but I kept pushing it. I wasn't really thinking, all I felt was a bit of panic and a tremor going through my body. I went on to introduce myself and noticed something about her tattoo and made a small joke, she smiled but almost forced. At this point and I don't know why my mind went blank. And she began to walk away after I said thanks for the help. I knew I should've ended it there but for some reason I asked her to get some coffee. She gave an automatic no thanks I'm here with my friends response. I said ok take care. After she left I was feeling uneasy. My heart was pounding at what I had just done and my hands trembled a bit some true afc feelings. I really need to do more approaches so when the time comes asking a girl out to coffee won't seem as... Scary.
- I studied for a little while and then decided to take a break. I walked around for a bit and there I saw another woman just sitting by herself at the science fiction/fantasy section. I walked by her looking at her. Turned around and then opened her:
- I asked her about the book she was reading and asked her any recommendations she might have. Then she went on about this huge fantasy series she's been into. Topic mostly remained about fantasy, lord of the rings and the hobbit movie. I could tell she was a huge fantasy buff and liked a lot of the same I did. Only problem was she was looking at her books and didn't look at me while talking. Still it was a pretty enjoyable conversation, until I noticed the wedding ring on her hand. I knew continuing wouldn't be wise, her husband could've been close by so I thanked her for her help and ejected. Before I did though I did noticed a sweet tattoo on her back. So I made a comment on it. She decided to show me all of it which meant lowering her shirt to the point hat I could see her bra strap. I told her I found the shape very interesting but didn't go into any further and finally ejected.

Epilogue
- I need to get over my fears and project confidence otherwise it won't matter how many girls I approach, it won't go anywhere.

June 10 2013

- I'll keep this post brief because not much happened today, but I did have a few good approaches.

Field Report

- I only had two real good approaches today and both happened at the market.
- First one happened the moment I entered the grocery store at walmart, I saw this HB8 shopping and asked her which brand of bananas she thought were better. I kept proper eye contact and smiled throughout the whole interaction. She gave a warm smile back and talked in a cute country accent. My heart melted when I heard it, nothing hotter then a country girl especially this one. She was wearing short jeans and had dirty blonde hair. We talked a bit about the fruit here, but I could see she was in a hurry so I thanked her and went on my way.
- I should've tried to transition the conversation to something else, but I felt a little uneasy. It was my first time talking to a girl who was clearly the best looking one there and my heart pounded thinking of what to say next and to not come off as creepy or stalkerish.
- Next girl I approached was a thick college student. I used the same opener and she too was kind enough to help me out. I transitioned to whether or not she went to the local university. She did, so we fluffed a bit about that, but she ended the conversation saying she had to go back to her friend.

Epilogue

- Another day without a number close. I feel like I am growing. My AA is not as bad as it once was. but my problem is I feel anxious, and my body language needs some improvement.
- One of my biggest fears is coming of as too eager or too creepy. Any advice would be welcome.

June 12 2013

- Something interesting happened today. One of the girls in my review class, lets call her Amy, invited me to study with her and her friend, lets call her Nicole, today. Admittedly it wasn't a pick up, but having two girls near me to chat with would improve my social proof. Anyway I agreed and later in the afternoon we all went to Barnes and Nobles to study.

Field Report

- The three of us met in front of the motel we were staying at and right away I knew I had to get their attentions and show some sense of humor and interesting personalty.
- I introduced my self to Nicole and made sure to maintain strong eye contact and smiled. We entered Amy's car and drove away.
- In the car I started to ask they knew each other and what they were up to in they're studies. It was the normal getting to know you talk.
- Half way to Barnes and Nobles I suggested we all get lunch before we started studying. They both agreed and we headed to a subway that was close by.
- While we were in line I sort of froze up, not knowing what to say. They are both very sweet girls, Amy had that type of personality that you'd find adorable and Nicole was a bit shy yet had a kind personality.
- When we sat down to eat our lunches I noticed Amy didn't buy anything. I figure I try some cocky funny jokes on her and told her she made us look like bad friends by not eating with us. This got everyone laughing and we all started talking about places we visited in our lives.
- I started telling them about my visit to Suzhou, China and my experiences there. (Note: I need to come up with some prepared stories about my time there. Any suggestions on how to structure it properly and how to tell it would be helpful.)
- After lunch we all got back in her car and headed back to Barnes and Nobles.
- At this point we all sort of separated and started studying our own things.
- About two hours into it the three of us repositioned ourselves close to each other because they're was only one power outlet nearby, so we all ended up with our laptops sitting next to each other. Nicole was seated too far away, so I chatted a bit more with Amy.
- Another hour of studying passes, and Amy gets up to get a cupcake. A strawberry frosted one. I started to make fun of her a little bit for it and she and Nicole started laughing about it.
- I chatted a bit more with Amy before we went back in to our studies.
- About two and a half hours later, Amy and Nicole wanted to grab dinner. I knew the PU move would be to go with them, but I actually had to finish up a topic I was studying, so I declined, but I did tell them a good restaurant that was nearby they could go to. I couldn't tell if they seemed a bit disappointed or not, but they asked me if I was sure. I told them I was.
- When they left I finished up what I was studying (didn't take more then 30 minutes) and then started walking around the store just stretching my legs and seeing if there was any girls worth approaching.
- It was around 7:20 at this point and no one was really left in the store. I was a bit disappointed because during the afternoon there were several girls I actually did want to talk to.
- Another 10 minutes later I get a call from Amy saying she and Nicole were headed home and if I needed a ride. Not having anything to really do I said yes. They picked me up a few minutes later. As I sit in her car I noticed carry out Chinese food. I asked if they ate at the place they went to and they said no, Nicole sort of forced Amy to pack there stuff to go because she wanted to go home and eat it. I started to make fun of Nicole for that calling her a bad friend and making Amy starve. Amy even got into and agreed.
- When it was time to leave, I said my good byes and thanked Amy for the ride. I smiled and she and Nicole both smiled back. A good day all things considered

Epilogue
- I would say if i had to chose I'd want Amy over Nicole, but I am new at maintaining female friends. I have had girlfriends before, but I never really had female friends. Any advice on how to handle this would be appreciated.

June 21 2013

- So I have been busy lately and haven't had a lot of time to go out and sarge, so I will use this post as an update of everything I have learned in the past few month.

1. The right mindset is everything - If you go out feeling bad, unmotivated, and downright shitty you won't get the results you want. In the past month I only had a few really good days and they were all when I felt happy to be out and a desire to actually improve my life. The worst days I always felt a bit like a creep, whenever I approached a girl I always thought, "Damn she probably thinks I am stalking her or something." Those thoughts always brought me down and I need to change them.

2. Practice your conversation with anyone - One of my biggest personal problems growing up was never being able to hold a conversation. I was always the quiet guy in the group, so trying to get out of my shell has been a huge challenge. I'm not where I want to be yet, but the one thing that has been a great help is practicing your conversation skills with anyone you meet. The cashier and the grocery store, the girl who works at the movie theaters, or the group of friends standing in front of you in line to get in, the key to being good at speaking is practice. Every day I try to approach one stranger a day and start a conversation with them about anything and so far it's helped me get over some of my fear.

3. The PUA lifestyle is more then just getting girls - Being able to go out with girls is a huge part of the PUA lifestyle, but it's more than that. It's also about getting out of your shell and being more social all around.

- As the weeks and months roll, I hope I improve even more. My goal this month is to get 10 number closes and at least 2 second day dates.

June 22 2013

- Tonight was my first night out at a bar/club type scene. It was not my finest hour. I didn't approach a single set or girl. I even missed a few girls that actually wanted me to talk to them.
- Right now I am feeling like a total AFC. I was lost in my head the whole night, and it didn't help I left the club 2 hours after I got there.
- The only time I actually felt confident was when I asked this chick sitting next to me to watch my bar seat. She smiled and said sure. I don't know why, but at a bar the approach anxiety just goes up 100x times for me.
- Any tips on how to make it easier and what to say is appreciated.

June 23, 2013

- Finally have some good news today, I number closed a girl and it was easier then I thought. The girl is an average looking chick with a skinny body and had a few tattoos, just my type. Problem is she has a kid but I can work around that.

Field Report
- So I made my usual walk around the shopping area where I usually study near and that's where I saw this decent looking girl with her kid. I figure I didn't have anything to lose so I approached her. I noticed the tattoo on her back and told her how much I loved it. I then went on to bullshit about how I really wanted to get one too and if she knew any decent spots around where I could get one done. All the while I maintained proper body language, I kept my back straight and sort of leaned back so as not to seem too interested in her. At the same time I smiled and kept constant eye contact. We fluffed a bit about what I was doing here and where I was from. I then asked her if I could bum a cigarette off her and she gave me one. Then I told her I needed to get going and asked her for her number straight out. She smiled back and said sure, so we exchanged numbers. Then I made sure to be the first one to eject, telling her I really needed to get going, but we'd talk soon.

Epilogue
- I said this in another post and this time I really believe it, tattoo chicks are easier to approach. You have an opener that sounds genuine and you have a reason to chat with her. If you act casual about it, she won't give off that, "When well this dude leave me alone vibe."
- Now that I have her number I'm thinking of texting her tomorrow afternoon with a simple hey what's up and see where that goes. Any other advice you guys could give would be helpful.

June 26, 2013
- Tried setting up a meeting with the chick I got the number from, but she flaked.
- Made a few approaches today and ended up doing extremely AFC.

Field Report
- So I have been texting the girl whose number I got a few days, nothing serious just asking her how she's been and shit. I've also been reading some material here on text game and I definitely need to incorporate it into my life. Anyway yesterday I told her I was going to Barnes and Nobles like I usually do to study, and she should come through and have a coffee with me. She was like sure sounds great. Next day about a half hour before we meet I text her telling her to call me when she comes. She sends a message back a half hour later saying she can't make it because of car troubles and she needs to get ready for work. TRANSLATION: "I'm not coming because I'm not interested." Disappointing, but this is my first second day meet so its better if I get used to this so it won't sting as much. I'll wait a few days to talk to her again and try another time. If she flakes out twice, I'll consider this a dead lead.
- The first real approach I did was to this sexy HB8 with a cool ass tattoo. I like approaching them because it makes for an easy opening and you have something of interest to talk about with her. This approach was terrible. I couldn't keep proper eye contact and my body language was off. I did however manage to keep smiling so there is that. We talked for a bit and then I ejected.
- Last girl I approached was this average looking chick who was shopping by her self. I went up to her and used my usual opener. "Do you know the bus schedule around here." The conversation wasn't so bad. We talked for about 5 minutes. She helped me out and even smiled a bit. Before I ejected i told her she seemed like an interesting person and I'd like to talk to her again sometime and asked for her number. She hesitated saying she didn't know. I then told her I was a fun guy to chat with then completely went desperate and gave her my number instead. I told her if she changes her mind to send me a message. Yeah... needy as hell, I don't know why I did that but I just wanted to keep the conversation going. I did do a few things right though. I kept proper body language, I kept eye contact and smiled a lot. I just didn't change topics after my initial opener.

Epilogue
-Pretty bad day today, but the more mistakes I make now the easier it is to learn from them later on. I know for next time to change topics away from my opener. I have to get her talking more about herself and I need to feel OK with not getting the number from every approach. Most importantly, I should NEVER force my number onto the girl.

June 29 2013

- I got one number close today, and I knew the girl was into me. I made a few other approaches that didn't really go anywhere.
- One recurring theme I am noticing when I am talking to girl is you should steer the conversation to something that interests them and have them talk about that for as long as possible while trying to remain as interested as possible. I've had conversations with women where I literally said maybe 10 things including the opener and the rest of the conversation is just me listening to her talk about it. One of the things I need to learn is how to escalate and change topics to something more sexual.

Field Report

- I spent the day at Barnes and Nobles studying, when after a few hours this HB6 came in. She's black with a with an OK face but a fine ass. I knew her because she came in a few other times, we haven't really spoken before but I figure since I'm a familiar face it would be easier to talk to her. I opened her telling her if she knew any good spots to party on a Saturday night. That's when she opened up in a way that I've never seen a girl open up before. She told me about every single bar in town, the kind of music they played, and the kind of food they served. After she was done with that she told me a few good bars in the city that she knew about and even in Chicago. When she was done with that she talked about how her friends owns a few places around town that I could check out... In this entire conversation I think I got to say only three things, so I figured if this girl was that open about this, how else could I keep the conversation going? So I asked her about what she did and was given another 20 minute lecture on her background, her education, where she was getting a job, and the life she's led. Again I only said maybe 3 things. I could tell she was the type of girl who loved talked so I didn't really stop her. I just kept constant eye contact and smiled for as long as possible, but damn she didn't make it easy. After maybe an hour of talking about 20 different things, she told me she had to go to go pick up a friend, but that it was really nice talking to me with a cute smile . Even someone as new as me could tell she wanted to meet again, so I asked her if I could have her number, and she didn't even hesitate like the last girl and said sure. Gave me the number, and left.

Epilogue
- This is probably the first girl I could tell was into me and it wasn't only because she didn't stop talking. She was smiling a lot and laughing at the few things I did manage to say. I need to find the best way to play this. She's definitely the type to have a lot of friends, guys and girls, and could easilytell when someones bullshitting her.

- So it has been awhile since the last time I posted, for that I apologize I was busy with studies and didn't have a lot of free time.
- Tonight I went out with the talkative girl I mentioned in my other posts. She invited me to a bar near me that night after cancelling another meeting we were suppose to have the other day.

Field Report
- I arrived early and waited for her in front of the bar thinking of how I could charm her. Truth be told I was feeling a bit down because of some personal issues so my general confidence was a little low. Anyway I waited for about 10 minutes before she arrived at the spot. The first thing I noticed was just how well she dressed. A blue dress that showed off her incredible legs. Needless to say I was impressed. We entered the bar, it was a Monday night so it was pretty dead except for a group of girls celebrating a birthday party or something. We sat near one of the booths order a few drinks and began talking.
- One thing you should know about this girl... she can talk like no one else. A majority of the conversation was her just telling me about her life, her career and what she thought about anything. From politics to life, she talked about any subject. I'm generally new at PUA, but even I knew I had to reframe the conversation into something that led to attraction.
- That didn't happen so instead I tried to break the touch barrier. I noticed her nails and told her I loved the color. I held up her hands like one would do when they are about to kiss it and feigned interest. Then while she was talking I made a joke while holding her hands. We both laughed and both kino attempts were met positively. Other then that I didn't have any clear way to escalate without it seeming sleezy.
- After about an hour and a half of talking, we told me that she had to get going because she had an early day tomorrow, which I knew to be true. She offered me a ride back to my place which I took as an IOI, saying she didn't.
- The ride home was pretty uneventful. We talked about local places that went out of business and other fluff topics. I already knew I wouldn't be able to convince her to come inside. When we arrived at my place I said a simple good night and she did the same. I Felt like I should've at least given her a hug or something to increase the amount of kino for the night, but it didn't happen.

Epilogue
- All in all a pretty decent night. Like I said before the girl could talk. I don't take this as an IOI because something tells me she's like this with anyone. Next time I figure we could go someplace more exciting like a local concert a the college, something to get her more active. Any tips on a DAY 3 would be appreciated.
