Hey mate,
1) Canned material is great for beginners, but i can imagine the shock when she seems to know what you are trying to do. You need to look at this way: There is only a small bit of the theories (like the patterns and Ross Jeffries his theory) that is actually meant to make your target feel anything. Most of it is meant to make you feel something: confidence. It is meant to help you conquer whatever issues it is you have. On its own however, it is nothing, because it is still you who has to do it. It is still you who has to face the fear.
If the target is actually on to you, it is a non issue if you make it a non issue. For beginners this might be difficult, because you are all wandering what the hell you are going to do or say next. You wonder: shit, she isnt supposed to know that :/! Goddarned, she isnt supposed to know i think she is actractive and all that sort of shit. But for somebody with real confidence, this is a non-issue. it is because we know that hte material is only guidance. So if she does say something like: are you gaming me? or are you a player? Why would you care? You can say: yeah, i think you are sexy, so see it as a compliment.
2) There is nothing that can prepare you for the real deal. it is something you have to do. Just make the switch. Theory addiction is all good, but in the end you learn nothing when you dont practice the stuff in real life. So, study a bit less and practice more what you did study. Preparation is only effective when you know what is going to come. If this is really the first time you go out sarging, you have no idea

. But there is more. The first time you will go out sarging, you will have successes and you will have fails. It is from the fails that you need to learn. And that is what you prepare for the next time you go out.
3) I live hundreds of miles away from Montreal, sorry dude
