So again i decided to go out for some daygame today and keep the momentum from yesterday.

But this time i wasnt going solo, i was going to meet a guy from RSD in the city.
While im walking to our meeting point i decide ill do a few warm up sets.
So i approach 3 girls and just ask for the time, directions to the art museum, etc. Nothing too amazing
One of the girls gave me a shit test and asked me for $2. i look at her funny and tell her that shes more stylish than the rest of the homeless people in the city, the girl and her friend laughed.

They say bye to me and i meet my wing for the day,
hes 17 years old, seems like a nice guy at first.
But as i learned from the way he was talking he was one of those RSD guys that are the opposite of nice, the really out there, narcissistic type. Im not bad mouthing him, i know that style works especially at night clubs and stuff.

we both knock out our own approaches, he did more approaches than me but i kept my girls talking for longer in my opinion.

after probably my 5th approach i decided to take a break for a second and think about what im doing right and what im doing wrong. My wing however keeps approaching everything, it made me feel kinda bad that he was approaching more than me, but i didnt want to only approach, i wanted to close. Which means making sure your game is solid, i decide i need more kino, and i need to qualify them.

My wing gets a bit impatient and tells me to open a 3 set, he told me so fast i dont have time to think or prepare what im going to say, but peer pressure is on me so i shake out all my AA and start moving my feet to the 3 set.

i start talking about how im meeting my friends at the art museum but im new to the city so i dont know where anything is, i find out they are all travelling french girls.

My wing comes in puts his arm around my shoulder and says something along the lines of "OMG i think that girl was his mum!! look thats his mum!"
I had no idea what the fuck he was talking about, he had waaay too much energy but im not an idiot so i just say "hahaha thats so crazy man"

he starts talking to 2 of the girls, i talk to the 3rd girl.
Except shes so french she cant understand a word i am saying
so that set was done...

I really wanted to try opening a girl with a direct opener, i picked out the girl, she was sitting down eating her lunch. But ive never used a direct opener before so as you would know, it takes more balls.
I gathered myself for a few moments, planning what i was going to say word for word so that i could focus on eye contact and stuff instead of focussing on what to say when i approach her.

I shake out my AA and move my feet towards her 10 o'clock, she looks up at me when i get close enough and i say "hey" with a smile.
She returns the smile
i say "listen i dont normally do this, and im kinda nervous but i was walking past and i thought you were cute. I came to say hello"

now since i rehearsed that before i approached her, i could focus on my body language and her body language. I could tell that after i said "im kinda nervous" she knew exactly what i was going to say after because she got a big smile on her face

She said "thank you so much, but i already have a boyfriend"...you know how it goes..
eventually we both wished eachother the best and i walked away really happy...cos regardless of anything els, i had the balls to say what i said, and it made her smile.
i want to open girls directly more often now.

i did the approach while i was solo, so it made me wonder if i like it better to go solo since i get to go at my own pace.

it started raining so the streets became empty and after a delightful chat with a girl from california i decided to head home.
i didnt close or anything but i made progress, and progress is always good
i also learned that maybe my AA isnt coming from fear of rejection, its coming because sometimes i have absolutely no plan. approaching without a plan felt far worse than approaching with a plan in mind.
