INTRODUCTION

I have lurked around on this forum for the past couple of years and have read "The Game" by Neil Strauss as well as the companion guide. I own and have read both books written by Mystery and Gambler's book as well.

SO... with that being said I know quite a few routines and have tried them out in various situations where I was comfortable and have had great success. I want to develop a few MLTR's and start getting laid on a regular basis, but I need to get over some initial sticking points... I have AA problems.

When it comes to Day Game I feel like I'm manipulating the situation... And when it comes to Night Game I am terrified of going to bars and clubs because it's not my scene. I have been practicing my Stripper Game to get over this... but I am still nervouse about going out at night, plus I have a day job and am not a night owl...

I know this is no excuse and I'm am arranging my schedule so that I can go out a few nights a week along with learning Day Game as I go about my work week...

I've heard that Night Game is really where I should start, but I need some sort of moral support, guidance and some people who can relate to the struggle that is Pick Up... It's time to change my life... and with this forum and a place to post field reports I feel like it just may be possible to turn my life into something wonderful... I'm starting this journal and writing a book about my experiences...

I've failed at so many things in life that I am afraid I'll fail at this too and be alone forever, but I'm tired of not having a girlfriend (or girlfriends) to go to the movies with or see a play or what ever dorky stuff couples do together..

I am need to become a social expert, build a Lair here in Davenport and start living the life I've always wanted to live... I want to master the Venusian Arts and teach other guys how to do so as well...

I look forward to becoming an integral part of this community and not just learning from everyone, but helping others to learn as well...

I am very nervous approaching and opening... I have suffered from AA for too long though...

I get the impression that this is something that I will never overcome - but must learn to deal with...

There's an old saying that you can't get rid of the butterflies, you just have to make them fly in formation...

That's what I'm doing... I'm gaming the not so hot chicks and learning how to overcome my AA and make it work for me... and along the way I will even get to sleep with some HB's...

I've never been above having sex with chubby chicks before, so why start now... Mystery says to hit on lots of ugly girls... Gotta learn to deal with the obstacles right?

MY FIRST FR - DAYGAME

I have read many books and field tested some routines, but haven't really given the Venusian Arts the proper place it deserves in my life.

On the outside I'm a fairly well groomed, confident, charismatic person - but on the inside I'm shy and stuck inside shell I can't seem to escape from...

Over the past week I've noticed so many opportunities that I've missed so today I told myself I would do an approach...

I travel for work and was out and about today but couldn't get up the nerve to approach any of the HB's I saw... finally at the end of the day I was leaving a store and even got out to my car - but I turned around went back in and ran the "ESP routine" on the HB6 who was working as a greeter... and told her I got a good vibe from her... which I did.. and I fist bumped her for a little preliminary kino... BUT THEN I BAILED!! =/

I was nervous - I could have stacked the ring routine or just fluffed for a bit, but I was nervous and afraid she was going to notice my growing erection... sorry if that's too much, but it was like the first time I smoked a cigarette by myself... I must say that I think women are a WAY better addiciton than cigarettes though!! =)

I should have just introduced myself - She loved the routine and although I bailed I felt GREAT! I finally did SOMETHING!!

I think NLP (Neurolinquistic Programing) says that

To be great at something first you must be good - to get good you must be bad - and to be bad you must do something...

Is that how it goes?

I am going to relish the moment... maybe I will see her again - and get her name next time... run the cube...

Last night I was at the bar hanging out w/ a friend and I was approached by a very cute HB8 - blonde, pouty lips, chubby cheeks... =) (Yes that's right... she approached me!! UNBELIEVABLE!!)

She noticed that I had been reading a Janet Evonovich novel before my friend arrived and we started talking books... She was clearly interested...

THEN I FROZE!!! I was thinking about doing the "ESP Routine" which I'd used to open two single sets earlier in the day, but I started thinking she'd think it was goofy... or what if it didn't work? So the conversation died - oh yeah... and she was with some guy at the bar, who I found out later was just a friend of hers although I also found out she's married... But since she wasn't with her hubby I assume that she wanted me to ask for her number, but I tried to save it by dropping my card w/her before I left and telling her to check out my website and contact me if she wants to buy a copy of my book...

In retrospect I had some copies of my book in the car, I should have given her one with my number in it... oh well... live and learn...

did two approaches today. I am a contract worker for a company that services products in big box retailers... anyways...


I was in Wal-Mart and I have started using a "double approach" - first I ask a department worker a question... directions or something and then I walk off... but come back a few minutes later and run the "ESP Routine"

I didn't get either number right w/ the first girl a cute thin, african-american chick with curly hair HB7 i'd say... She enjoyed the approach - but I gave her my name and she didn't reciprocate... IOD? But as I left she thanked me... for what I'm not sure... =/

The second store I was in there was a hB6 - big girl, with a tooth gap - but Mystery says to hit on lots of ugly girls - gotta learn to deal with obstables, right?

Same "ESP Routine" - but this time it worked and she was very happy - but again I told her my name and introduced myself - but she didn't give me her name... IOD again?? Seems unlikely...

I don't know if I should just keep practicing my openers... or if I should add on the "Rings Routine" and start working on my stack...?

Both approaches were very sexually stimulating for me... to put it politely... I love being able to finally just talk to a girl... and can't wait to start getting D2's and f closes out of this... but I know it's going to take time and practice...

Any suggestions..?

I approached an HB6 at Wal-Mart - She had been working the serivce desk, but as I was leaving she was on break and sitting in the little cafe area, buy the entrance...

I approached and opened w/ "ESP Routine" - I got her number wrong both times - I realize now that I need to start asking them to hold out their hands so I can kino if I get that first one wrong... also she was sitting and I was standing - I should have sat down cause after the ESP thing I explained to her about the 80/20 rule and said she must be an interesting person...

I then did the "Rings Routine" and BUMBLED it!! But I got through and then was so nervous I ejected... BUT...

I got out to my car and was totally turned on by the experience I'd just had and so I walked back in and bought a soda and approached her again (something that's becoming my MO) and this time sat down right away - and asked her if she belived in palm reading and told her I was learning and asked if she wanted to meet up for coffee sometime so I could read her palm... She said yes...

I tore my business card in half and gave her my number - and got hers... Name was Stacy... I said "I thought u said CiCi for a second there... which sounds like a stripper name..." she laughed so I think she liked it... (I picked up that "What's your stripper name?" off of here and I like it... )

I ejected right after getting her number, which I shouldn't have done... I was going to do a magic trick w/my pen... but didn't...

As I was driving down the road about 15 min. later I sent a txt "I already see good things in your future" w/my name at the end...

SOOOOOO..... Now what...? How long until I call her? Should I call her today? She lives about 45 min away so it would be AFC of me to suggest I drive out there for a D2... Should I tell her to drive here into the cities? I know she'll remember me when I call and mention the stripper name and how that's her name in my phone... She's pretty chubby, but cute... So she's probably single... What do I do now?? Just call to talk? Then txt w her? How do I turn this into a D2..?

UDATED:

I waited 4 days to call and rang her up while working cause I was bored driving down the road... but I got an answering machine!! She gave me a home number!! Damn... I am in the store she works at often, so maybe I'll see her again... but I feel I really bumbled a great opportunity... oh well, as I've said... we live and we learn...

My game has stalled over the past week… I got that #close and floated on it… BAD IDEA!!

I am learning that pick up is a 24/7/365 activity… I have to take advantage of every opportunity that I have to practice my game in order to push myself to the next level…

I am starting to feel very comfortable with the “ESP Routine” as an opener but my second routine… Styles “Rings Routine” is lacking… I know that the only thing that is going to improve it though is practice… I’m thinking of switching the two around but I am worried that the “Rings Routine” is too long…

What do you guys think? Does it really even matter? I mean I suck right now anyway… so either way it’s gonna be clunky… but I have to practice to get better right?

Maybe “Rings” first for Day Game since it’s slower and “ESP” first for Night Game – speaking of which… How do you guys feel about magic tricks as openers for Night Game… I have a 2 trick routine which could lead into “ESP” as a way to open the obstacle up more and eliminate the cock blocking…

It’s time to get back on track though. I want to develop at least 3 MLTR’s and be getting laid regularly by Christmas… It’s going to be hard getting out of my comfort zone but I am starting to really take to the philosophy that talking to girls is not a bad things since I’m adding value to the interaction and leaving them happier/better off than they were before I approached them and talked to them…

My real sticking point now is small talk… I can run routines, but I don’t know what to talk about without the routines… should I ask interview questions to build some comfort… “How long have you worked/lived here?” “Where did u grow up/go to school?”… etc… It seems boring to me… and very AFC, but I can’t just rely on routines for my entire interaction… or can I? Would love some input…

Lovecraft…

I have been using the "ESP Routine" as an opener and am learning to do the "Rings Routine" as a stack... and as long as I'm using canned material I'm fine...

What I haven't done is learned to engage in small talk... Do you guys ask interview questions to get a conversation going?

I have no problems using canned material, but without some filler it feels odd to go from opener to DHV/hook to # close in such a short amount of time?

How long would you say your typical interaction is in a Day Game setting and a Night Game setting?

I have some goals in mind... like getting laid regularly and having a few MLTR's... but I don't have any specific goals set yet that will get me to where I want...

I have arranged my schedule so that I can game 3 nights a week since I feel that learning night game really IS a pre-cursor to learning day game...

So... for the rest of 2011 which is just shy of 6 mo. I am going to go out on Fri, Sat, and Sun nights - I'm not going to focus on results so much as I'm just going to get out of the house and practice sharpening my social skills until they are razor sharp...

I'm going to shoot for 4 hours of practice each of those nights... even if I have to go to lame calendar events to get out of the house and be doing something... It's going to be hard to do this by myself... but I must break through this comfort barrier that I've built which is keeping me confined to a solitary existence...

I used to be comfortable around women... I just didn't know how to escalate kino (or what kino was!! and thought that LMR was something personal... (I assumed no meant no... instead of "convince me it'll be ok"...)

So I just need to get over my AA - work my routines and then the REAL hard part comes - being in a relationship... that is an area where I don't have much experience... I've dated and had one night stands... but nothing serious... or not so serious for that matter...

I am going to put my day game to rest until I've gotten good at night game... I need Kiss Closes and Numbers... I need D2's and sex... Then I'll worry about slowing my game down and practicing as I go rather than going out to practice... but for now... I feel I must force it... If I don't change my life, nothing and no one will do it for me...

Saturday, July 16, 2011

I let this entire weekend slip by... I made excuses and didn't go out. I swore I was going to start working on my night game this weekend and then I totally stayed home and was lame...

I am terrified of bombing, and I know that I'll never get laid again if I don't go out and meet women... I think I'm going to have to do a 30 day challenge and go out EVERY NIGHT!!... I need to become obsessed with this... I need to live, eat, sleep and breath pussy... I need to make being a pua my number 1 thing...

I started talking to a girl I went to highschool with through fb. We were texting back and forth and I used the "I used to have a crush on you" line without the lettuce and cereal parts. But it worked like a charm...

She worked 3rd shift and I told her that she owed me breakfast for entertaining her... We played the "Alpahbet Game" and I did a cold read on her favorite Disney character... She picked Snow White... "You must like short, pudgy guys," said Lovecraft, who is short and pudgy...

Long story short, she came over at 6:30 am, we shagged, then went to breakfast buffet, and SHE BOUGHT! How's that for some tight game... I still haven't gotten out to the bars and clubs and I have slacked on my daygame... not making ANY approaches, but I feel at least a little more confident and need to make sure I don't get oneitis here... I have to use this to up my game, not take myself out prematurely...

The question is, should I be honest with her, or cheat? I have no moral compunction about it either way I just want to know what u think is best when working on MLTR's...

Right now I think she's just a FB, if that even... it could end up being a fluke... but I want to know how I can turn it into a LTR...

After the replies to one of my post went up a couple of weeks ago about an initial F Close and having trouble getting back in her pants... I first tried texting her and asking of she had to work Sat... She replied "no but I have plans..." So I dropped it and cut of the texting...

Fast forward to one week later... I know she has Fri off, so I just text "Chris D's for drinks tonite... u n me..." and she text back "What time?"

So I met her at the bar... though I did arrive first... and we came back to my place and I tried the Mystery "You look like you wanna kiss me" routine... but she balked... so I rode it out... kinda froze her out a bit then asked if she wanted to kiss me and from there we did the deed... Which makes twice now that we've hooked up... first from fb a month ago, and now this... and then on the second round I got LMR and fell for it and let her leave without really shagging her proper... but she said she had to get home to kids... I should have made her stay... but I wussed out...

So... what is the next move? And I asked this before... Should I tell her upfront that I'm not looking for anything serious... I just want to have her as a FB for now... Or bring her onboard as a girlfriend and tell her I'm seeing others, or cheat on her behind her back... Which she told me her ex did... so she would probably put up with it either way... what do you think? Bring on the advice guys... =)
