Hey! You can call me Alex or MMime.


I'm taking on my life like never before and I've joined this community to gain your support and to support you in any way I can.

I'll be keeping this journal to document my progress in order to receive advice in my undertakings and for you to challenge me to reach the goals I set for myself. It is also my way of bestowing to you the wisdom I gain from this journey.

Tomorrow I'll be approaching 5 women for the first time. I'll be aiming for number closes. I'll have a post up about it by midnight Thursday the latest. Wish me luck!

Good luck dude. Approaching is the hardest hurdle. Would you actually want to meet up and do approaches together. Im pretty good in some areas, but lacking when it comes to closing. I go to UCF. Let me know

Would love to! I go to UCF as well

So there's a lot of good to be taken out of the past two days.

Disappointingly, I only approached one woman (in a two set). But I did go out for drinks with my old crush from the first college I attended (which went really well) and I arranged to meet with a girl I haven't seen in two years, next week.

The two set was a lesson in urgency and being aware of your surroundings. I opened up a HB8 and her less attractive friend while standing in line for a "rave" my college was holding. I was actually able to hold an engaging conversation with them, while maintaining a playful vibe. Unfortunately, I didn't go much farther than that. We were at the far end of the line, so I offered to have them follow me and see if we could find a way to cut to the front. They followed but as we made it, things turned to chaos and a flood of people began to rush the front as well. And there I lost them.

Had I been quicker to close, or kept at the back of the line, where things were calm I would have had a chance to get her number. So lesson learned, close effectively and quickly and be aware of your environment and how that could positively or negatively affect your pick up.

As far as my old crush, I used to have extreme anxiety when it came to dealing with people and that was more true with her than with anyone else I've ever met in my life. She wasn't even especially good looking but she just always made me feel incredibly nervous. And the last time I saw her 5 months ago was the worst, I was a complete mess around her.

She was in the area, and for whatever reason we got to meeting up and...it was incredibly beautiful. I was able to take it easy and relax and really be myself with her for the first time, and that opened myself up to me being able to appreciate more of her as well. There was no intimacy, at least no romantic intimacy, but we established a very strong connection so next time I'll see where we can take things. (Oh and before you ask ((were you even going to ask???)), we each had only one drink and we were vibing before they were even served, so it wasn't the alcohol)

For the girl I am meeting next week, my goal is to see how far I can escalate. I wont be forcing anything or trying too hard, but I'll keep in mind to push our interactions as far as I can and report back here how that worked.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It may not seem like much to some of you but approaching even a single girl with the intention of picking her up and then seeing two more girls within a week of each other is unheard of from me, so I am really happy with my humble progress.

I am still pissed I pussed out on approaching a full five girls so my goal is to have 5 approaches by saturday, midnight.


Night gentleman!

Alright! Life has been crazy lately but I finally have some time to update how things have been going.

A couple days ago, myself and faloutphil went walking around UCF campus approaching girls. If you could call it that. Basically all I was doing was getting over the fear of talking to women and just going up and saying anything that came to mind, no matter how ridiculous it was. Of course no one took me seriously and I don't think I was able to hold an interaction longer than 20 seconds, but I did take away something valuable from it....

rejection isn't scary

Most of those women I spoke to must of thought I was a weirdo but...I don't care, I'm fine with it. I didn't die, or get attacked, or anything! In fact I was in way more duress before engaging in the approach than when I was in it or in the aftermath of it. It was a very freeing experience.

So that was awesome! Now its time to build on that. Next step is 5 approaches where the interaction lasts more than 2min. Let's go!

Good job and good luck man! I've been browsing these forums and learning PUA stuff for a little over a month now, and I'm still too big of a pussy to have even made 1 approach :/ I just started at a new college and a friend of mine wants to try picking up girls at the school. I'm thinking about showing him this site and some PUA material and we can wingman it at school, but so far I've made 0 approaches in my time here :/ I hope I can learn to be as confident as you!
