I have a seriously annoying problem. No matter how much I read about PUA tactics, dos and don't, etc... when I go out into the field my mind blanks and I forget everything I've learned. The result is a blubbering AFC idiot.

It's like I've loaded my gun with a PUA bullet but I lack the trigger. How can I acquire this trigger? How can I go out into the field and say "Ah! That's a shit test (for example), I need to reply to this so and so"?

Tl;dr: how can I make the PUA lifestyle my own?

Many thanks guys.

Just like anything that's difficult in life... Practice, practice, practice! FORCE yourself to open sets and focus on GETTING BETTER, not GETTING LAID.

When I go out, I only approach maybe 3 or 4 sets for the night. Once I feel a set start to stale out, I just walk away. Even if a girl starts talking about something boring and I feel like I'm getting locked out, I won't hang around and kill the set, I just go work another set and come back later. That way I have a set to backwards merge into.

The reason I only approach 3 or 4 sets is so I can 1. WORK THE FUCK OUT OF THEM and get as far as I can with each one. 2. ACTUALLY REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED. The last thing you want is to go out for the night and approach 20 different sets and you can't even remember what you did because you were bouncing around like a damn pinball and you are going home, by yourself, thinking that you suck. Focus on quality, Not quantity (or pussy.) 4 sets and I can usually have a pretty good recollection of what happened with each of them.

I read a little bit of whatever i am working on at the time and make it a goal to use it that night. Whether it be3-4 lines or body language i make it a goal to use it and record results. If i am able to do what i wanted its a win for the night.
