anyone know of any good literature on how to improve day game?

Any material should be good, as long as you're looking for concepts and not scripts.

exactly, do you have anything like that?

I can't stress it enough, day game is SO MUCH EASIER. You're far more likely to be successful, it plays right into the spontaneity meme nearly all women have, you can try it literally anywhere. The laundromat. The grocery store. Outside the classroom. The gym. The dry cleaner. The bakery. The street. Seriously, wherever. Women are so much more responsive to it. Plus, you might be able to parlay your success into a date that very night.

IMO, this is the one true "blind spot" when it comes to the PUA community. It all seems to be based on clubs, bars, and stripjoints. There is precious little guidance regarding day game.

My advice to anyone just starting out is to go out there and hone your skills in daytime, you'll be immediately surprised at how much more comfortable it is to open during daytime, and she'll be less likely to expect it, thereby giving you a better chance.

It isn't like the bars and the clubs where you are competing with 100 other guys and likely doomed to failure. In the light of day, it's probably just you. You're already in.

TipJar makes a good point. A lot of guys think day game is harder but this is because they get comfortable doing club game and the SPAM is completely alien to them. That's not to say it isn't different though; there are things you need to keep in mind when approaching girls during the day. Firstly, there are 2 main scenarios you will end up in.

1. She isn't really doing anything and can accompany you on an instant date. For example, she's out shopping by herself or is just wandering around because she has nothing else to do. This is more common than you might think.

2. She's busy and you will have to get her number to organise something for another time. She may be out on her lunch break, meeting friends, or already with people. I work best one on one because winning over her friends first is just a pain in the ass - I won't do it unless I really have to.

Because of this, where my style is concerned I've found that saturdays are no good for day game. If you want a decent amount of lone targets, weekdays are much better. Saturday is the day everyone is off work and gets to hang out with their friends. There may be a ton more people out, but it is very rare to see a girl by herself. Pairs aren't too bad, but groups are awkward to deal with. However, if you can deal well with them, this doesn't really apply to you.

Anyway, moving on. Even if she isn't busy, you're not gonna be doing routines or gimmicks during the day. They're not practical. If you approach a girl and start reading her palm or doing the cube or whatever it is you do, it's gonna be just a little bit weird. Save that stuff for your instant date or the next time you see her.

There is alway a certain element of directness in your interactions with women, ie. when you tell her to give you her number. Therefore, it is important not to drag things out too long before getting to the point. This is especially true if she is busy and doesn't have time to stop for long... the longer you try to keep conversation going the longer you are avoiding getting to the point and this can make you look insecure, which will make her unsure about you. Once you find out what you need to know from her or the thread converation is about to end and you don't know what else to say, get to the point.

I have 2 kinds of approach for day game. The basic layouts are as follows:

Method 1 - This is non threatening and you won't encounter any heavy shit tests too often. You will occasionally get small shit tests once you hit step 4.

1. Say hi, ask how she's doing.
2. Say you're good and ask something situational. (ie. where you can get some kickass ice cream, think on your feet here.)
3. Talk a little more about it.
4. Tell her she's cool and you should get together some time. Find out if she's available for an instant date or get her number instead.
5. If she's busy and you settled for her number, talk a little about her plans for the day and tell her you'll call her later.

Method 2 - This is very direct and you need some serious inner game going on to pull it off properly. If you're one of those "fake it till you make it" types, make sure to keep your body language relaxed, and smile so you don't look too serious.

1. Say hi and ask how she's doing.
2. Say you're good, then get to the point. "Well, now that we've gotten formalities out of the way, I was just thinking."
3. Pause for effect or until she asks. Tell her, "I was just thinking, you and me would have a looot of fun together".
4. Deal with her shit tests. They will be heavy and she may even appear to be offended.

You've come this far, so don't take back what you said or apologise or tell her you just wanna have coffee and get to know her or anything like that. Let her make what she wants of what you said. This works because it doesn't come off as being perverted or predatory. You're letting her mind do all the work and if she can't handle it she will walk away. As long as she's still in front of you she is showing interest and with some smooth talking she will reciprocate. I have an answer for everything so if you have anything in mind which she may say to you after step 3, I'll be happy to help.

You'd be better off using method 1 before trying that to be honest, just until you're comfortable doing cold approaches and get confident and relaxed doing it.
