day game could be a little tougher.
try going out at night and not be looking to pick up, instead have fun playing with psycology and body language. just after I started reading into all this stuff I was out clubbing and had a dance with this girl, also pretty much has a hit on every other girl in the club to little or no avail but hey I was just there to have fun (later after reading a bit more some of the shoot downs were just token resistance) few days later, i saw her at my work when I was having a few knock off drinks with some friends. I wasn't out to pick up but I got my way into the set, working on my skills, nothing more I pushed and pulled the girls (LOTS of IOI's) kept on dissarming the guys to the point where they'd get up and walk away, I didn't pick up that night, I was tired, I had to work early the next day, but the expirence is invaluable, I probably could have gotten laid. but it was enough to boost the confidence a bit. skip forward to a month and a half later, been reading up here and I actually have a weekend off. I'm going out to have fun and game people, if I pick up, GREAT, if I don't I learned some new things and hey just had some fun.

Point being don't hold high expectations, don't expect to get laid or even exepted into sets first time out, but that this opportunity to watch and learn body language, see what works, what doesn't and hell just have fun
