hey im inn high school and things are a little diff. how can i keep the convo going. i can get the confidence to say hi but after that i blank out. how do i keep it going??

Literally you just have to talk. Think of things about yourself that are interesting. You develop those things into DHV stories. Come up with some jokes that you can tell. If you have friends, have them to build you up as well. Learn how to tease the girl. How to push/pull with her.

"Hi"
girl "Hi"
"Do you have ____ class?"
girl "No I don't"
"Cool, you'd be bored in there anyway. So, what's your favorite class?"

Just anything man. Make the convo interesting to keep her attention.

Im going for my first set this weekend i just had one more quick question. Is it better to start with a two set of girls or a big set of girls or even a set with a guy in it and why. Also how much are your seminars.

Just DO It!

It doesn't honestly matter what size set you start with. Just consider which type of group you could personally handle the easiest. Are you more comfortable with a bigger group or with a smaller group? The best thing to do, really, is find the first group that you can, and just open someone in it, and work on getting the whole group to take you in as "one of them". From there, you have become friends with the whole group. Make sure they have fun with you while you are there, and start working on the target at that point.

What I personally work with the most are two sets of girls. For some reason it just works out that way. I'm not sure if it's my city or what, lol, but there's a lot of that here. I also work with 3 sets of girls or 3 sets that are mixed, with one guy in them. Had one of those type tonight actually, and kiss closed one of the girls. Multiple times. Bounced to another club and had a girl grinding on me that was in what appeared to be a 2 set of girls, but in reality was a 3 set with a guy. The girl grinding on me hard was the one with the b/f that was just standing off to the side, watching her dance. So, don't be afraid of things like that either. Just open them, watch for the IOI's, and escalate. And since it's your first time, don't pressure yourself either. You have to get your feet wet right now. THAT'S the most important thing at this point.

And, the seminars vary depending on location. As noted on my workshop thread the Philly one is only $550 per student for the weekend. So, where do you live?

What's up Tripp. What's the best way to use my MySpace to my advantage. I just moved to a new area in thw bay so I am using it to browse local HB's but I don't want to come off as a creep or perv... What are some good openers I can use? I also am a new DJ so I try to throw that in also but it usually sounds lioke business when I tell them. How can I use this as a DHV?

Hey man. Well, to be honest, I'm not the online guru, but I will give you my opinion here. You could also ask Jsmooth about this too. What I would do is treat it just like any other communication. I wouldn't talk about the DJing thing at first, because it would probably come across as bragging. But, if you slip it in as a DHV story, obviously it's gonna raise your value up. Basically, on opening her, I give you the same advice I give guys for live, face to face, in the field work. Say something to her that will catch her attention and provoke a response. In other words, be different from the other thousand guys that send her messages. If you're the same as them, she'll get bored right away and likely even just hit delete. But, if you're different, if you catch her attention, and say something that will provoke a response, then you can get the rapport going. Get creative with it. And, for me, I would look at her profile and find something about HER, as in her interests or schooling or personality online, or something like that, and use that in some way as an opener. Even something about a pic. Just try to be different. Don't compliment her on her looks either.

"You really did this _______? How could you bare doing that?" Something like that maybe. Just an example. Again, for more in depth stuff on online game, ask Jsmooth. Here's a link to his thread:

Hey thank you very much you have really been a lot of help. Your advice has made me very confident and i cant wait to go sarging. I live by San Francisco. The thing is im not 21 does that matter.

Glad to help man. Not 21 is ok, as long as there are 18 and up venues and you're at least 18. Of course, that detail depends on the area of the country. Keep in touch with me about the details for the Cali workshops. As I get them nailed down, we'll see what can be worked out.

Thanks for the info Tripp but I am still a little in the dark as far as escalating. Say I isolated than said in an alluring/sexual tone "After we're done here, we should go kick it back at your place", then, depending on her answer either kiss or say something "Oh I get it, _____ is more important than me." In a cf way. I would appreciate your thoughts on that example as well as some other, more specific pointers for escalating. Thanks a lot.

And yeah, This is (still) just the beginning.

Hey man. Ok, first of all, when you think of escalation, think of constantly pushing further than where you are. I'm sure you know that, but still wanted to point it out. You are literally looking for her to either tell you to stop or physically let you know you've gone too far, then you back up just a bit. But you need to find that line. Ok, now, once you've isolated yes that would be a good thing to say, as long as you're not scared to say it. What I mean is, don't be afraid to speak the words, but be confident about it. so she knows you mean it. With that said, yes, that phrase would work just fine. Then, if she says yes, lay the kiss on her, and make it a GOOD one, so she's EAGER to leave. But, also don't just keep kissing and kissing and kissing at that point either. In fact, kiss her one time really good, then pull back just a bit and make her move her head forward to meet your lips again if she wants more. Make her eager for more of a kiss from you. And, she'll become more eager to leave with you then too. Now, on saying "w/e is more important", that would work too, if you also SLIGHTLY physically push her away while you say it too. Or, if you really want to send her a mixed signal, and yes it's counterintuitive, SLIGHTLY pull her to you if she says no and at the same time say, "fine get away from me then" with a smile and solid EC.

If you are having trouble escalating, as I said, keep in mind that it's pushing further than where you currently are, and one big factor in that is the mixed signals, especially if nothing else is working for you right now. Use the counterintuitive example I gave above and get creative at other times with doing the same type of thing. A verbal push with a physical pull or a verbal pull with a physical push.

Dear Tripp,

1) Can you recall women taking the initiative in contacting you if you only made it to A3 in your first meeting? (Mutual # close)

2) I never got the "walk in the park" date idea. Uh, are we supposed to have specific activities planned in the park BESIDES walking? Or are we just wandering around, hoping not to get mugged at gunpoint, and talking until the girl feels comfortable enough with us to go back to our place? Please describe a typical scenario.

3) Ever try getting women's opinions of condoms in the local Walgreens or CVS? What do you think about this idea?

1. Yep, in fact have a girl right now that I talk to and text that I met the weekend before the Nashville Meet Up. She made the initiative, and still does. And we definitely didn't make it further than A3 the night I met her.

2. It does help to have some kind of planned activity, but be flexible in that if you don't get to the activity, it's ok.
You take her to the park, enjoy the scenery, enjoy talking to each other, teasing each other, kinoing each other. If the vibe is going this way, you get to your planned activity. You learn more about each other, build more attraction and comfort, and either bounce her to another location or time bridge. If the vibe isn't going towards fulfilling your planned activity, then you calibrate. Is she wanting to get back to your place? Is she just not into the day/into you/into the activity/ w/e? Then, calibrate and reframe according to what's going on.

3. Nope, haven't done that one personally, but I see no reason not to. As long as you don't come off as creepy.

Hey,

I'm in high school.
In some classes, my teachers hardly ever talk and let us do whatever we want so I have a chance to get into the "zone" of cockiness and energy.

In my other classes, there are HB10's!! But the teacher always tells us to shut up so my energy is completely destroyed and my boredom/frustration increases!!
(i.e. I was going to initiate kino with this HB8 but my boredom made my PUA self completely down and I was totally AFC about it. But later on at lunch, oohhh boy were things different.)

So I need advice on how to keep my metaframe strong even through the boring/relaxing times!!

Thanks a ton.

I am going to my 10 year high school reunion in a few months. I was really shy in high school and I had no game then. Is it possible to sarge my reunion? Can I take what people thought of me back then (socially awkward computer geek with a low self esteem) Now I am a self confident Computer geek with a decent job. I am 50/50 on actually going, but if I do go my goal is to F close the hottest unmarried women there. OR just talk shit about how women are going downhill and men are still gaining value at this age.

Well, there are quick fixes to strengthening your frame, such as giving yourself a quick pep talk, listening to some music, things like that. External things that instantly affect your frame. Then there are more long term fixes. I think for this you need to work on both. The quick fix would be giving yourself a pep talk, considering I'm sure you can't have an mp3 player or anything like that in school. The long term fix is digging deep into your self, finding your core, and knowing . . . KNOWING who YOU are. When you know who you are, and that's solid, your frame is not shaken so easily. But again, with your situation, I think you need the quick fix WHILE you work on the long term cure.
