Hello forums,

I am going to utilize this thread to catalog my journey as I employ the techniques that is the Game.

Background: My score is 1. I need to change this, want to change this. I've had many opportunities but I am such an AFC that I blew it or didn't see the signs. I've been reading on these forums for about a year, and just finished up school which gives me the time to practice in field more. Ive been sarging with a buddy for a few weeks which has consisted of very few approaches, if any. I think by writing out field reports here I can get feedback and motivation to keep it up.

To start Ive gone out and purchased all new clothes, started grooming myself better, and have gone to the gym once again since I let myself go using school and work as an excuse. Ive read The Game, Revelations, and hundreds of forum posts related to the stuff, and many videos, I just need to keep practicing. I am also doing the StyleLife challenge and am finishing the approaching missions. I have a few under my belt, but thats it.

Ill jump right into the FR for tonight

[b]Day 1:[/b]

Location: Country Bar - many sets, tons of HB7-10

Time: 11:30-2:00

I arrive and make conversation with the hostess and bouncer at the entrance for about 10 minutes, I commented on how busy the bar was and we had a conversation about how they started holding a car show before hand.

I went into the bar and I can pretty much sum up the next two hours: We didnt do anything. I stood with my friends with a lot of discussion about opening all the available sets, but we never had the balls to open anything. After two hours we started traversing the bar...

We were walking to around the bar when I said f*** it and opened a set as I walked past.

It was a 2 set, not really attractive at all, but my first goal is to get over AA so it worked anyways. I opened over my should with:

Fat_Alice: "I need your opinion on something, I have a female friend I haven't contacted in a while, so I was wondering how it would be if I suddenly contacted her after a few years, i feel with my guy friends the time difference doesn't matter, but with women its different...?"
G1: "Well if you're trying to sleep with her its 1 week."
Fat_Alice: "No its nothing like that, she was a good friend so id like to see her again"
G1: "Yea then its no different you should go for it."

At this point G1's friend was standing there bored, with arms crossed, so I brought her into the conversation.

Fat_Alice: "What do you think? *re-explain the situation*"
G2: "Yea if youre not trying to f*** her then you can contact her"
Fat_Alice: "Well there you have it, ill contact her, thank you. "

That was it for that night, the bar filtered down and I left.

Pros: I opened a set, I got out of the house after saying I was going to skip this weekend

Cons: I didnt open many sets, and the one I did wasnt even attractive

I need to work on different openers and not caring whats going to happen. Im limiting myself too much by thinking about the rejection.

Well, its a start!
