So i met with 83ever from the forums who went to another college close to mine. He wanted to help me with my AA so he took me to the library where he usually talks to females. He wanted me to immediately go and talk to one of the girls sitting by herself. Now I haven't done a real approach ever, so I was so nervous I couldn't jump into yet it. So we did some warm ups. I walked around with him and said hi to random girls. I got a lot of good feedback, a lot of them responded saying hi as well, or fine thank you. Only one girl looked at me funny and I giggled. When we got back to the library, he wanted me to hit on this asian girl at the end of the library sitting by herself. He told me approach and I just couldn't do it. I knew all the things to say but I was freaking out. He kept encouraging me to go and talk to her, so when I walked passed her the first time, I choked and went the other direction. 10 min later I try again and stop half way and walk back. He later positioned ourselves behind her in another room. He told me that he'll save me after a minute of talking. So I tell him my plan, he agrees, and I go for it.

Me: (walks passed her, grabs a seat and sits down and stick arm out) Hi, I'm Blank
Her: (surpirsed) Hi Blank, I am Name.
Me: Nice to meet you. So your from around here right? I am trying to find some clubs around here but I am unfamiliar with this part of town. Do you know of cool things to do here at night?
Her: Um, well what kind of places are you looking for.
Me: Hey I don't have a lot of time, I gotta go in a few minutes, but basically we are trying to find some dance clubs. You look like a fun girl, do you have any clubs you can recommend me?
Her: Well...(thinks for like 3-5 seconds)
Me: I know my way around the pearl district (across town), and they're just full of dodgy people and the environment is terrible Let me give you an example, where would you go on a friday night around here?
Her: Hehe...well I go to a few bars down the street from here. They usually have good music and such.
Me: Very cool .....


Now I am wondering...where is my wing? I look over passed my targets head, and there he is talking to another girl. He can't save me and I don't know how to carry on this conversation anymore. So I eject myself but didn't number close.

Me: Oh, looks like I am getting a text from him...says he is in the Krammer building. Is that this building?
Her: No, this is Smith.
Me: Okay he's been waiting for me for a few min. I'm gonna go find me.
Her: okay.
Me: Well it was nice meeting you (stand up and shake hands)
Her: Yea really nice to meet you.

and i leave

no number close. but that was mah first one. So kinda glad. My wing was right though, you feel like a million bucks after you finish.

So ya, thats my story.

That is really sweet you have somebody to push you into approaches for AA. Good job. Try to push yourself into those situations as well without him around. He won't always be there and you have to force yourself to do them all the time if you want to shorten the learning curve on improvement.

ya no joke. I think i'm still doing it in baby steps

It was awesome you knew I wasn't going to let you leave campus without you doing your first approach! The moment I spotted that girl sitting there I knew it would be the perfect situation for you to make your first approach which is why I kept pushing you to do it. It took sometime but you did it and that is what counts and it was awesome! You had nothing to lose and I hope you remember that. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

It was kinda funny how things worked when I was supposed to save you I end up talking to this woman! out of nowhere this milf came in to the exhibit and gave me a look the moment she came in, then she walks closer to where I am, I look at her, she smiles, bam follow the rule i picked up on the smile and opened then we started talking while you are out there w that girl! but thats the nature of the game its spontaneous you don't know when opportunity will strike at any moment you have to take it.

Hopefully this is the beginning of many fr reports to come.

Great. Don't worry you didn't number-close. Like someone here wrote: the first 1000 approaches doesn't count But the effort counts. I know exactly the feeling (we all know it) right before you are about to leave forcing yourself to ask for the number. Well, next time, just don't think about it at all, fuck the feeling and just ask with the face and attitude like there is nothing more ordinary than asking a friendly chick for her number... Why the fuck not? After all, you are expected to do it. You are a man.

Good job.

the first 1000 approaches don't count, just the effort
awesome, so i still got work to do

by the way it's true you feel like a million bucks after an approach, a kiss, a number

thats why its soo addictive

Nice job man! Taking that first step is always the hardest step. I'm not a pua(yet:P) but AA is definitely something that will always be there but hopefully you'll figure out your own way of handling it.
