Ok, was really busy with the furniture production business that i started about a month ago, so finally got the time to write the second step.

After my first successful sarge (i did what i have planned, opened about 8 sets including a go go dancer ) i realized the importance of having no expectations and focusing on the process of learning, and therefore making micro goals that are more achievable.

This way you have a better chance of feeling good after you are done because you have succeeded in what you have planned. Making too big goals to soon would make an improvement (for instance starting a convo with a HB, that you were scared of even thinking about before) look like a failuare if the goal was to get her phone number. If the goal is just starting the convo then you succeed no matter what the results are. It makes HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Ok so now for my step 2:

Step two would focus on improving my looks:

Go to the tanning salon several times and get a good tan
Get a haircut
Buy some cool new clothes

AND MOST THREATENING:

Try day game (opening HB on the street, in the mall or wherever i can find them while doing my daily activities)

Important notice:
After returning from my first sarge i felt like i can do anything, receiving positive response was so motivating that i could not fell asleep for 3 hours. i just could not stop thinking about it and plan how i would pick up girls in the future. I felt that i could possibly get away with anything, thats how confident i felt, the AA was gone and it felled impossible to get rid of it so easily. HOWEVER, now after several days i feel it again... I'm even feeling it now because i know that i will have to open some sets today. It is strange, but i think that after the first success it would be easier to open that first, the most scary, set and get in to that "im the shit" mood again

Ok to sum up my next step would last for about a week, when I'm going to get my looks at their best and try opening some sets during the day to combat AA. (After that i will post my results into the "Field reports" Section of the forum)

Congratulations It sounds like you've finally swallowed your fear and approached sets only to realize most of the girls are a lot nicer than you envisioned. I can still remember being a fat littlte 10th grader who thought that all girls would spite me and see me as a pervert just for talking to them because I had never actually tried to speak with one.

Being a business owner myself I can see your business minded approach to pick up. You are very realistic, you set goals, chunk your exepctations and you don't expect to achieve more than you can. Most importantly you understand that everything is a learning process.

Day game is one of the toughest to play, especially moving targets on sidewalks and streets (for me at least). I can do it now easily but of all the things I have learned it is most certainly the toughest.

You have a fantastic perspective on achieving things. I look forward to reading your field reports - keep up the awesome progress!

Wouldn't this be better suited to be posted in the Lay Reports section? Just a suggestion, buddy. And, of course, keep up the good work.
