Hey.

I'm writing you guys at this very moment, after coming back home from a nice party. This evening Is very special for me because earlier today, during my way home from the party, I realized something very important. Something I should have known a long time ago, or in second thought, I'm sure I did know, but didn’t really understand. And there's a questionI'm sure almost every AFK ask himself at least once a day when he is out sarging: "When can I call myself a PUA"? or "When do I make that change in me from being an AFC to PUA"? The answer in my opinions is when u realize you did a mistake, and you start learning from it, and fixing it next time you go out sarging, until finally you realize you nearly don’t do any mistakes anymore.
So this is what happened:

My night started pretty shitty for me, two different girls whom wanted to date with me canceled, and as always, trying to not get effected by rejections (even though I didn’t consider those as rejections, I was just too late with asking them out) I started looking for friends to go out for some sarging.

My wing is on the army (long story) and I find it pretty weird and even uncomfortable going out with my old friends, the ones I used to hang out with before I started with the pickup, and that’s because I'm too busy sarging which means I don’t hang out with them anyways during any public event that includes girls in it.

So I decided to ask an old friend of mine to go out together to a nice bar / party event, I picked him in particular because I remember him as someone who doesn’t care when left alone in a party, and he easily socially with other people, I decided that he is the perfect person for this night. So I called him, and it all went well, he was coming to pick me up to the party.

We arrived, lots of people were waiting outside to get in, as most of the crowded events I usually go, we saw many familiar faces, one of them was a girl I really like, whom I saw in few parties and didn’t get the chance to talk to, I decided that tonight is my perfect chance to game her. I will get back to her later.
So we got in, and automatically, without thinking too much, followed by the 3 seconds rules, I opened a set, 3 girls, 1 guy, standing near the bar. This is how it went:

Me: Gay opener.

Them: Laughed and good body language, I was in.

Me: Talking to the guy a bit, and then giving two girls (the obstacles) the bf test.

Them: giving me IOI's, it was all went good.
I decided I should look for better sets since I didn’t really like the girls in this set, so I told them I'm getting back to my friends, and I will catch them later.
As always, the first set, even if it doesn’t include HB's in it, or including a number close / kiss close, he gets you in a talkative mood, and build your confidence up. I earned both confidence and talkative mood during my game in this set and that’s why I decided to move on and find myself a new set.
Within 30sec of walking around the bar from one side to another, I found another two cute girls, chatting around, 1 girl sitting at the bar, 1 girl standing. So I approached:

Me: Tattoo opener.

Them: Laughing and good body language, I was in.

Me: BF test. ESP game on the obstacle. Neged the target.

Them: being nice to me, talking and contributing to the conversation, after few min's I saw a girl from last week, whom I K-Closed during a party, I introduced her to the two girls, and so I built up a jealousy plotline between the two sets.
After staying a bit with the two sets (total of 3 girls), while I leaned back on the bar, letting them talk to me, and introduced a good body language, I built my social value higher and faster than I expected.
I decided I spend too much time on those sets, and I'm here for practice, and meeting more new people, so I decided to leave them and go on my way to find myself a new set.
After 10 sec from leaving them, I was in a new set:

Me: Hey, I need a fast female opinion about something.

Them: What?

Me: Running Tattoo opener

Them: Ignoring me and don’t really give a shit, I was saying goodbye nicely and left.
If there is something I learned during the time I do Pickup, is that there is no such thing as failure, only teaching lessons. And I really truly mean that. I didn’t really give a shit nor cared about their responses and I just kept on going, smiling and with even more confidence than I had before I approached them.

So, while I kept on going, I saw her, the girl I told you about in the begging of my report, the girl I met outside the club. She was sitting near the bar with her all friends all around her, 3 girls, 2 guys. Just sitting there, not talking with anyone in particular, and she seemed a little bored, I didn’t have much time to think nor hesitate, so again, I followed the three second rule, knowing this is my chance to game her, I will soon be very disappointed of what happened… this is how it went:

Me: Hey, I'm sure you know me from somewhere. (Since we saw each other on different events more than several times)

Her: Yeah, I saw you on the "Coliseum" club last week; I remember u was talking to my friends. (At this point I realized she remembered me, I opened her friends last week during a party, great, I knew I had some social value built up already).

Me: Oh really? Ah yeah, now I remember. Nice.
You know, I have this feeling about you, that people look at you as a snob or a shy person on first impression, but it's not totally true.

Her: Yeah, people actually consider me as a snob on first impression, I'm not shy though.

Me: Ah I see, yeah I can tell.
I gotta ask you something, I have only a minute before I gotta go back to my friends, but do I look gay?

Her: She laughs, and tells me I should take it as a compliment. Then I realized I was in.

I continued the gay opener.

I was wrong, I wasn’t totally in yet – her friends, I was too excited while opening her, finally, and that made me forget about her friends, I had to come up with a solution fast, but it seemed it was too late, her two girl friends approached us, and told her:
"Come on we are in a party, stop chatting and come dance"

Me: "I was just about to show your friend a nice psychology trick I learned not long ago, but we should dance first"
This seems to hooked them up, they were in a good mood, so I left the bar, leaving my target sitting there alone, and went on dancing a bit with her friends, she was asking me to come back. Then I realized I dida great come back, and now I earned her friends approval and hers. (The boys didn’t make an issue since they already left).

So I went back to the bar after a while, keep chatting with her, doing the cube for her and running some more routines, then the girl from last week came by, and I started chatting with her, building jealousy plotline between the two sets. Again.
After a while of sitting there, making good connections with my target's friends, I realized I forgot I should have isolated her. During all that time I was between the two sets, I kept the neging my target; I didn’t show her any IOI even though she showed me more than 5. At some point, she was so jealous she even told me that she is "angry at me and don’t wanna talk to me anymore" in a cute voice, trying to win my attention back. She even grabbed her hand on my back, trying to get me turn my face to her, while I talked with another girl, and again I ignored her and kept on talking with the girl I kiss-closed last week.

To all of you who wonder what happened eventually, well this answer is NOTHING. I was too stupid not to isolate her and trying to game her on a different place. After thinking about all the game I ran on her, I realized I gave her too many negs, built too much jealousy, and didn’t show her she could get some IOI's from my side as well. (Even though she neged me as well, she still didn’t neg me more than I neged her, and It was obvious she did it only to try and get my attention back), I prefer not to describe it all here because it will be too long.

So my lesson today was: Don’t Neg too much,or maybe it will be better to say that you have to feel when the girl sending you enough IOI's and when is the time to not get blind because of your "success" and not get distracted. When I feel too much confidence, it can sometimes be fatal for me, I forget I also have to be NICE in order to win the target. This experience will teach me that for sure for next time.

A lot more than what I described here happened, but I can't write it all here because it will be too long.
I will be happy to get any advices about the target I fucked up with and any comments about the report in general.

And for the question I mentioned at the start of the thread: "When can I call myself a PUA"?
Well I guess for me the time hasn't come yet, but I will keep practicing till I get there.

Keep the game up guys!

Until next time, Horizon.
