Big milestone today, something I can build on. I made my first direct approach on the street during the day. The approach itself did not go particularly well however I think I have finally found the venue and courage for myself to practice and grow.

I'm not a huge fan of clubbing and like to set myself apart from other guys who will start approaching once they get some liquid courage. I'm also not exactly the party guy, so the club doesn't play to my strengths. Also I believe that there are tonnes of very attractive women that are not into the bar/club scene.

I've gone out walking looking for targets many times in the past but have always bitched out during the day. Today I started asking lots of people for the time. It felt sort of stupid however it worked to get myself in the right state and practice the mechanics of stopping someone on the street.

Off to play volleyball now but I'm working part time the next couple weeks and am going to go out everytime the weather is nice and make some approaches.

nice job

Im also trying to improve my daygame

and no doubt just warming up asking for the time or directions really helps build the courage just before the direct approach.

Good job. I have only done one day game approach at the gym, and that wasn't too goodl, but I just have to learn from my mistakes and move on. Next time I go shopping or hanging out in a public place I have to approach girls and see how this works.
I am getting a bit tired of night game since there aren't many real girls at night, all of them seem so fake and all they want is a jacked, roided up meat heads or a rich guy. Like last night I saw so many girls with like unnecessarily big cleavage, it kind of made me sick thinking about those kind of girls. But again if they open, of course I would want to game and try to f close.

Cycling over to volleyball there was a girl running the other direction, I looped around and approached her without even thinking of it. I used the same "only be a minute but I think you're super cute and I wanted to meet you." Spoke to her for a moment and she reacted really well, saying it was really sweet etc. Though I started strong I didn't really have anything to back it up, turned out she had a BF anyway.

The friend I was cycling with was blown away. He's a natural and a good looking guy (no homo) so he is successful acting on IOI's only but he doesn't even realize cold approaching is legit.

All I have to do is keep the momentum going.

That was great. It's the secret of the 3 secs rule, by approaching right away you didn't have time to think about it and chicken out. Take that with you the next time you decide not to approach.

And lol at the i'm not gay defense....your here on this forum, telling us of day game....i don't think we'd go there.

Take care and good luck.

Ey good for you Nafione and we all started the same way, getting over the fear of rejection and going for it. Nice work

day game is where its at,

I've been building on this slowly, as little as one approach a week since I last posted about this but last week I did around 15 with several numbers closed including a hb9.5 (I hesitate to say anybody is a ten). My approaches involved some mixed sets and multiple sets which is pretty new to me. Also I was able to stay in set up to an hour on at least two occasions.

As far as AA goes sometimes I have zero and sometimes I still don't open. Still want to work on my reliability, from 50% to 99%. I definitely am internalizing how important the 3s rule is, however I am also approaching when I am forced to hesitate, such as when somebody else gets in first.

I am finding "I wanted to meet you" after greeting and followed by an introduction to be money for me, and very congruent. It opens very reliably.

I am making progress without any particular focus simply with repetition. Nonetheless I want to take some more risks - adding some SOI's or perhaps stacking shock and awe, which I have found to be effective in the past. Also, qualifying the women more instead of trying simply to remain in set.

I'm finding most of the women I am approaching during the day have BF's, and I don't believe they are feeding me BS to make me go away. I realize most of the women I am interested in have been at some stage of a relationship most of the time since they reached adolescence, and I simply need good enough game for them to risk getting to know me better. I believe, more than likely, I am a way better man than the BF these girls have, and I need to sub-communicate this.
