Sunday night

Before I go out the one girl faceTimes me to chat. She's feeling needy and torn between me and this other guy George, and she's going on dates with another teacher guy. I listen to her and tell her I understand what she's feeling. She immediately feels better. She says she wishes she was with me right now. She is just afraid that things won't work out between me and her so she wants backup plans, which is why she is seeing other dudes. That, and she's jealous that I spent V-day with Pizza girl and that she thought I was gonna cut things off with her. Lol. I tell her I understand. I get ready for laser tag, and on the drive over, she calls me on the phone again and we basically have the same conversation. Apparently George had been over at her house, and she snuck away to FaceTime and call me while George talked to her roommates. Hilarious. It's crazy, but the needy call made me feel less attracted to her. Before, I had wanted to fly to visit her and everything, but the more needy she is she more she feels like every other beautiful girl.

I'm still leaning on the door of the venue talking to her while meetup people I recognize start waving at me and beckoning me in. Model girl is there, and Army dude, this pretty chill bro, comes up and mimes shooting me with a bazooka. I mime exploding while still talking on the phone. Same thing happens with bow and arrow, rifle, etc etc. Finally ex the one girl bids me adieu, and I stroll in. Meetup captain girl sends me a hilariously creepy text, "I see you". Lol. I jive in the line with model girl, some chumpy dudes, and Army bro. Army bro is either high or drunk, as he's louder and more boisterous than usual. I say some shit, Model girl laughs her head off. Damn I'm funny. We stroll over to the bowling area, I sit down and look at the menu while everyone else in the group (about 8-10ish people) are freaking out about how terrible the service is. I just assume high status body language, look relaxed, and peruse the menu. Pot girl arrives with a dude she wants me to meet, she introduces me, I ask him if he's from Seattle (from his shirt). He is. On behalf of the rest of the world I thank him for Starbucks. We jive a bit on that and Dunkin Donuts (I'm from the east coast).

I meet some of the other guys, none too interesting. Pot girl comes over and we talk about what food to get. I can tell something's wrong, so I ask her. She says she's on meds and not feeling well. She opens her arms for a hug and I graciously give her one. She comes back after a little bit, lays down, and puts her head on my lap. I act as if this is completely normal, and continue to peruse the menu and self amuse.

Being high status is basically like pretending every girl wants to sleep with me. Oh wait, I don't have to pretend.

I stand up and lean against a high table thingy. Awkward Montana girl comes over, struggles to make conversation with me cuz she's so nervous. I get bored with her quickly. I talk to Asian bro and Curly hair bro. Mildly amusing. Curly girl (mildly attractive) comes over, and we jive a bit. She's actually got a good energy! We jive a bit, sing along to the song, and bust out some dance moves. Ok, this girl can hang. We'll see if she continues being cool.

I'm just straight jiving with everyone while they play bowling, with Montana girl, dudes, Curly girl, all coming to me while I lean back against the table. Model girl comes over and positions her body language to me, I tease her about some shit and eventually she's cracking up. She leaves her wallet and tells people to watch it for her while she bowls. Naturally I take it and hide it underneath my shirt. Continue to jive. She comes back and immediately grabs my arm and asks me where it is. She knows me too well! The next time she positions herself facing me to talk to me Curly hair bro starts engaging her in a chumpy way, obviously trying really hard to impress her and be funny. Lol. She turns away from me, I continue eating my food, and watch the shenanigans. Normal dude's game is hilariously shitty.

I turn around and talk to Montana girl, Model girl and I are back to back and our arms / back are touching. Coincidence? Never. When we talk I give her some direct eye contact. There were points where I should've stood closer to ramp up the tension a bit. I'll remember this next time. I get laser tag tickets. I go to check out the over 21 area, Curly girl immediately follows me. Lol. We get back, and finally it's time for laser tag. We go in, have a blast, and come back out. Model girl is relaxed when she talks to me in a big group, but when the conversation turns to just us two, even though we are already friends she noticeably becomes more nervous and runs out of things to say (awkward silences). My interpretation is she's obviously attracted to me. Remember boys, she's got a bf in Washington that she's visiting soon. If I wanted to make a move I would have to get her in isolation more.

We play some arcade games, play another round of laser tag. At one point I'm talking to model girl and I put my hand on her shoulder. Slick shit. The night ends, Army bro number closes me lol. Curly bro is following model girl everywhere like a little puppy. Walking her back to the car, etc etc. Cracks me up. On the drive home I think about the ex one girl and how needy her calls were today. Unattractive. Honestly if that's what she's like in a relationship and wants to see other guys, that's fine. All I know is the more needy she is, the less I want to contact her and shit.

Pros

Fantastically fun time, even though 95% of the population is filled with chumpy dudes and people who suck ass at conversation with strangers.
A lot of solid self amusing. Worked wonders, all the girls interacting with me, chasing me, etc etc.
Good eye contact and tension building with model girl.

Cons

Ex the one disrupting my state a little, need to control that.
Next time going to ramp up tension better with proximity with Model girl. Gonna work on tension overall with everyone.
There were times when model girl's nervousness rubbed off a little on me. Gonna work on better state control. It should be funny to me she's so nervous, girls are so cute when they want my approval.

A girl I'm teaching in the lab who's pretty obviously into me (nervous around me, laughs at everything I say, even when it's to other students, stays after when everyone leaves for a long time to "study") emails me and wants to meet to "study" more today, so as her TA I have to oblige. She's actually really cute, just so nervous around me lol. I get a text from ex the one girl wishing me a happy morning and thanking me for listening last night. I send her a happy text back. I'll let you all know how the week goes, playas!

My Pick-Up Journal

Gotta get down on Monday, folks.

I wake up, head to the school, eat while watching Adam Lyon's Soul Mate Trigger (on youTube), good shit, it's rare I find material that is useful to me nowadays but that was both entertaining and educational. Student girl cutie comes into the lab for office hours, and I do work while she occasionally asks me questions. I keep the door open to dispel the rumors. I joke around a couple times, she laughs but is still so nervous. Poor girl. A couple times I am showing her structures on the specimen and we get really close, the tension rises. Afterwards, I do some more work waiting for lab meeting.

My attraction and rapport games are both pretty damn on point, but I'm gonna be working on escalation from now on out. Building tension with more touching, whispering, proximity, and eye contact.

The two other TA's are girls who are both pretty fun and awesome, not as cute as can be though. We go through lab meeting and the dissection afterwards joking around and having a good time, not a whole lot of game here.

Although I feel completely drained of energy, I head to training. I call ex the one along the way. Things have died down a little bit, which is fine. I should focus on other things. Training goes swimmingly. I head to the second academy I go to for more training. This one is headed by two girls, both cute and fun, and + 5 million points because they instruct Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at a Gracie school. I obviously self amuse during the class, making everyone laugh, and they are beginning to feel like friends now. The cuter older one comes over and talks to me about the tournament this coming weekend, how she saw my name on there. We chat about that, and say that we will see each other there! The younger one Facebooked me. I plan on inviting both, plus the dad (administrative assistant at the school) to the potluck.

After training, I head to pizza girl's place. She cooks me a quiche, we cuddle a little on the couch, make out in the kitchen a little bit, and I head home to catch some Z's.

Pros
Continuing to work on my game, identified my area that needs improvement, which is ramping up tension and escalation.

Cons
Exhausted from training today. A good challenge to work on my state control.

Tuesday

Basically I went to class all day. Jokes around with the other TA's in class 1 (TA girl 1 and TA girl 2) that I sat with. Class 2 I sat down next to Insta girl (cute-ish and short) and jived with her before the class started. After talking with her I decided she isn't really that attractive. Joked around with another cute girl (has a bf) in the class for a moment.

Class 3 made a comment about the exam to a girl sitting next to me, she was pretty unresponsive, which is fine (she wasn't very attractive).

Just staying in a social, talkative, and friendly mood as much as I can. The last two days my state has been lower, been tired from training. Gonna work on turning that around and pumping my own state higher each day.

I go to running club, it's a sausage fest. I tease the two girls that are there. One is brunette runner girl from a couple nights ago, who is good looking but damn she is pretty uncool. Very validation seeking and trying to prove herself-y. I run my 3 miles (felt great!) and head to the academy. Ex the one calls, we have a talk about what we want. We decide to do an open long distance relationship, where we both try to keep communication as open and honest as possible about other people we are seeing. Great!

I sit down and BJJ girl makes eye contact from across the entire room and we smile at each other. We roll once during the class I joke around with her, she's definitely into me. Will definitely invite her to the potluck the next time I see her.

Head home and drive through Wendy's, with a chili, 2 spicy chicken sandwiches, and a diet coke. I add ice cream to it. Not the healthiest of dinners, but my regular Thai place with the cute waitresses was closed. Next time I'll eat healthier.

Hump day

I get to snooze in, and head in to teach lab. The first lab (25 girls) goes swimmingly, with girls laughing left and right at everything I say. I'm starving by the time it finishes. I run out, grab Subway, and eat in while the second lab starts. I'm a goddamn comedian for the second lab too. Five girls stay after the second lab finishes to ask me questions about the next day's exam, all super cute except one was medium cute. I joke around with them all while helping them study, until it's just the cute one from Monday left. I'm getting good at increasing the tension, getting close, incidental touches, and holding strong eye contact. Gonna keep practicing that. After that, I head to training, then I head to the second gym to train. All goes well, I planned on heading to Thai King and getting the number of the cute waitress, but again it's closed. I'll have to go earlier tomorrow.

Keep working on tension, keep that state control strong!

Oh yeah model girl texted me and Indian comic to hang out, but I told her I would after training. She went home early, so we didn't meet up

THURSDAY

I head to my first class at 11. Sit down next to Insta girl, immediately make small chat, joke about the professor, about the class, etc. Long hair girl comes in, teases me about my breakfast choice (Mcdonald's breakfast sandwiches). We joke around, and throughout the class giggle about our professor's eccentricity. After class, I invite both girl to study group it for the test next week. They both think this is an amazing ideas and write down their numbers on my assignment pad.

Nothing of note happens the next class. I spend most of it re-reading Jason Capital material and re-watching his videos in between classes.

Pizza girl picks me up after class, we go to the park, where I grade tests and she reads together on a bench. We joke around, pizza girl is cool she keeps it light and fun. We then head to Mama Lolo's coffee shop when it gets too cold. We do the same thing on a couch. On the way to the place, I spot Thai kitchen girl biking to work, in cute shorts. Daaaaaang! I still need to get her numbah. Three girls are having an intense, tear-inducing argument / discussion two tables away. The one that is the odd girl out and is arguing against the other two has a German accent, making it even more amusing. I joke around with the cashier (super cute) but don't go further in front of pizza girl. I joke around with the two girls right next to us, we sing some Beatles songs together, but don't go further in front of pizza girl.

I sent out a huge mass text (14 people) to hang out that night. Some respond. I meet Prodigy at Trailhead. Before he arrives, Ex the one girl calls and we chat for awhile. She says she wishes she could see me. Prodigy arrives. We jive a little. He seems nervous. Beto (Jiu Jitsu training partner) and his wife arrive. They're both fun and cool. We all start joking and laughing about various things, talking about the tournament, internet memes, and Spanish phrases while indulging in $1 tacos (insane!). We laugh it up, have a great time, and then head to Walrus for ice cream. I flirt with the cashier as always, and we all joke around more. Pot girl arrives. We all joke around more. Prodigy is a lot looser and more relaxed now. He's starting to have fun. Pot girl tells us about her terrible date (works at Wal-Mart and didn't look like his online picture lol). Beto and his wife peace and the rest of us head to Lucky Joe's. We claim a couch, eat free peanuts, and joke around while listening to the open mic. I joke around with two girls at the next table, arguing over whether Taylor Swift is cool or not (she is). We start talking about whether Blonde Runner girl is into me (she is). As if on cue, B.R. girl texts me and says her date is going poopy and wants to join us. Pot girl is eyeing a dude. I tell her she should approach. She eventually does, discovers he's much younger (lol). Pot girl peaces, leaving Prodigy and BR girl and me. BR girl is flirting with me. I have great body language this entire time, leaning back with my legs up spread out over the couch, both girls leaning into me. BR girl is next to me, touching me, initiating leg contact, our faces close. TENSION, boom. She hits the bathroom, Prodigy asks if he's third wheeling it. I say no, I'm just out to have a good time, don't care if I get some or not, I tell him if she's lucky she'll get a makeout. lol. We get up to leave, another dude eyes down BR girl as we stroll past.

We play Jenga at the Blind Pig while making fun of an awkward date at the bar. Loser has to do a truth or dare. BR girl loses first game and tells us the story of the smallest dick she's seen. lol. Prodigy loses the next, and takes a dare. He has to approach the awkward date girl. He does, and then we call it a night. Couldn't really isolate, but no matter. Don't care either way, I'm lukewarm about BR girl.

Friday morning

At lab, I self amuse, making everyone there laugh. I discover one of the girls is an ultra marathon runner (I used to be as well). We talk about 50 mile races and Born to Run. I tell her next class we should exchange information and run. She enthusiastically agrees. Walking on the way to office hours, a super cute from Spanish club on Monday nights greets me and we excitedly exchange words in passing. Next time, I'm gonna get that number. I probably should've stopped to talk some more, and gotten a number. Eh, wutevs. Still killin' it. Tonight's gonna be ssssiiiiiiiiiiccckkkkk

Friday

TA girl and I vibe the rest of office hours. She is telling me stories, joking with me, and generally trying to impress me. She mentions she will be out tonight, I tell her to shoot me a text. Ex the one calls, and we talk for a long time on the phone, laughing, joking, etc etc.

In the afternoon, I pick up 2 training partners and we go to weigh in for the tournament. All 3 of us make weight, me at 182. On the way back, the two of them are starving because they had cut weight the last two days. Me, I was also starving, but it was cuz I'm a fatty. JK I'm ripped.

Ex the one starts sexting me on the drive back. Here's how it started:

Her: I wish you were here right now...
Me: What would you do to me
Her: *sext sext sext*

Cracks me up. I sent out a mass text for a Friday night crowd. Dinner is delicious, and I change and meet Prodigy at Trailhead. Prodigy is a lot more vocal this time, and starts telling me some great travel stories about Europe. Excellent! He's getting his mouth moving more and being more social, great. Spanish girl arrives. We both bust on her about her accent. BR girl arrives, we introduce them. Spanish girl's friend, Accent dude, arrives. Spanish girl is tall, beautiful, with a Spanish accent, and fun. Accent dude is also fun, a runner, and gay (according to T-swift girl). My gay-dar isn't the most accurate, but I trust her. We all bounce over to Slyce Pizza to meet TA girl, monkey man, and mushroom bro. Monkey man is the same one from earlier in the journal, mushroom bro is a stoner looking type that is a legit mushroom expert (fo real). Both are fun and playful.

Everyone gets introduced. I'm sitting next to BR girl and TA girl, so I flirt with them mostly. They're cracking up and everything I say. I start looking up and shouting dirty Spanish words across the table at Spanish girl and Accent Dude (they both teach Spanish). They're cracking up. The whole table is having a great time.

We head to Lucky Joe's. No one moves until I stand up. Lol, STATUS playas (thank you Jason Capital). We get to Lucky's, and stand close to the dancing area talking. Since there's a live musician playing, I start getting really close talking to each girl, ramping up the tension. TA girl and BR girl are bonding, I'm mostly talking to Spanish girl and Accent dude. And by talking I mean bullshitting, and them laughing. Spanish girl tells me she heard from T swift girl that I thought she was flirting with me one night. I told her she was. She vehemently denies it. A small mistake here, instead of pushing my "you were flirting with me" frame, in the future I'll probably just sidestep it with humor ("Of course you weren't *knowing smirk*). Spanish girl starts touching me while talking to me. T-bone shows up, engages us for a little. After a bit, we all bounce.

On the way to Blind Pig, we spot another one of our friends, Party girl (also teaches Spanish with the other two) on some sort of date. We all laugh and wave at her through the window, she laughs and waves back. We go in Blind Pig, and start playing Never Have I Ever. The Spaniards say they have the same game, called Nunca Hacerlo. We find out that Spanish girl has done it on a train. Accent bro asks her in his hilarious accent: "You suck dick?" Lol. I flirt with BR girl by throwing salt and peanuts at her. She reciprocates. I get up and start dancing. No one follows yet. I start moving towards the dance floor. Eventually Prodigy and Spanish girl join. We dance up a storm. Three other girls that were dancing engage me, and we have a blast dancing. They introduce themselves to me, get my name, and in the middle of the dance floor one of them asks me if I'm from around here. Lol, not a conversation to have here, girl. We all have a great time, I dance butt to butt with a couple girls, I should work on being able to sexualize the dancing interactions more, right now they're just all fun.

We dance a ton more, have a bunch more fun, and Prodigy is having more fun than I can remember him having! Great!
Spanish girl is also dancing and having a blast. At the end of it, I go back to the three girls and invite them to eat with us. Except when they ask where, I say the first spot that pops in my head. It's a decent ways away... I should've invited them to a closer spot. They say thanks, but they are staying with their group (I invited the group too). The cuter one compliments me on my dancing and we part ways. Prodigy and I grab late night pizza while Spanish girl heads home. She told us "I had a great moment" Lol We correct her, "I had a great time". Prodigy is into Spanish girl, I tell him he should invite her on a hike.

We part ways, and I head home to catch some Z's before my tournament. A great night!

Saturday

Beto, Beto's wife Carrie, and I drive to the Denver tournament. We meet up with some more teammates, and the whole day is pretty fun. I win 4 matches, lose 2, learn a bunch. Saw jiu jitsu girl from the other school there, I watched her match she came to watch mine. When we get back to the car, the entire inside is filled with snow (my driver's side window is broken and stuck halfway down). Lol. We drive back through a blizzard, eat wings with Prodigy (I invited Spanish girl but the snow deterred her), and I got home and collapse in a heap, exhausted.

Sunday

I wake up, and T-swift girl, Bratty girl, Pot girl, and Indian comic invite me to make breakfast with them. I go over, we pick up vegetables, and it's great fun seeing such good friends again. TS girl and Bratty dance while we cook, I video tape them discretely and show them the hilarious video after. I tease and have fun with all of them. We eat, and Pizza girl texts me to hang out. I invite her over. Before she arrives, we all have a conversation about love, ex the one girl, and how into me BR girl is. I maintain that I am in love with ex the one girl, we have an open long distance relationship, and we are both ok with seeing other people. If she were to find someone better than me for her (however unlikely), I would be happy for her and would be ok seeing her go. Bratty girl argues that that isn't love. To each his own.

Br girl texts me, wants to see 50 shades of grey with me.

Pizza girl arrives, we watch the movie two night stand. I'm cuddled into a blanket on the couch in between girls, a lot of incidental touching. Pizza girl teaches me her new hip hop lines "drown on my balls". We come up with another "step off my anus". The movie ends, pizza girl leaves, I pick up BR girl for the movie. BR girl is so ... trying to impress me-ee. It's really not attractive. We watch the movie, it's fun, the movie is good (sex scenes were great), and I drop her off. I know I could've made out with her, etc etc, but didn't even want to. It just feels like she's too desperate (always talking about how she wants a man). Ex the one calls me, we chat for awhile, tell each other we love each other.

I arrive at Alley Cat Cafe, in a study group with a girl I have a class with, Rainy, and her roommate. It's fun, she's attractive, but has a bf. She asks if I can study during the week as well, I say yes. I head home and end the night there.

Feeling more and more comfortable with touching and proximity. Gonna still be working on verbal and physical escalation (expressing interest verbally and making touches more sensual / sexual). Unfazed out!

Monday

Wake up in the morning feelin' like P diddy. Head to the school at around nine fitty. Spend the afternoon setting up a practical and grading with the two TA girls. Was exhausted this day, my whole upper body still ached from the tournament. State wasn't super high, but still joked around in a playful mood. Both TA girls seem into me. I drive one home, but on the walk to my car I call my mom, she's not doing well.

I head to Spanish club, and have a great time there. The male-female ratio isn't great, but I sit next to a pretty attractive girl. I make the entire group laugh a lot, even in speaking in Spanish, and we talk about my minivan and my weird Hitler dreams. Afterwards, I head home and get 9 hours of Z's. Wake up feeling a LOT better and more recovered.

Good attraction game despite being exhausted, but wasn't motivated to take anything further. Could've gamed girl in Spanish class a little harder, went after a number. Wasn't ready to burn it to the ground, there'll be future opportunities. Late-a playas

Fiascos of Tuesday

I'm a changed man after 9 hours of sleep. I waltz in to my first lecture at 8, and joke around with TA girl 1 and TA girl 2. The professor shows a hilariously cheesy video about animals before the dinosaurs. The second class was slightly more eventful. Insta girl, who had given me her number for the study group, but hadn't responded to the text, basically ignores me. She's probably embarrassed that she ignored my text. I give the same amount of fucks as the number of third eyes I have.

Rainy girl comes in, we throw up gangsta hand gestures at each other as greetings. We agree to meet later to study. I grab lunch after, and text ex the one girl. BR girl texts me to hang out because her dog died, I tell her I have a study group meeting. I do show some empathy though, I'm not a straight up cold hearted bastard or anything.

Third lecture was uneventful, and I pass out hard afterwards until about 5ish. I head to Thai Kitchen, but it's closed. RATS. Eat dinner, and meet Rainy girl plus 2 of her friends at Wild Boar Cafe to study. I sit down, we joke around, tease her roommate together, and generally have a fun time studying. We Facebook each other and she tells me a bit about her life. Her bf looks like a chumpy dude, and is always messaging her. Lol. She tells me to download Trivia Crack so we can play and she can say she's smarter than her TA. I tell her that it's unlikely. I sit pretty close while explaining certain concepts to her while studying, and there's incidental touching. After more joking around and studying, we call it a night.

Ex the one texts me that she's horny and misses being close to me. Yum.

Gangsta, out

I guess I haven't told you guys a whole lot about ex the one. It's the same HB 8.5 HS brunette girl that I mention earlier in the journal. After dating for 5 years, breaking up, me moving to Colorado, and 8 months of not seeing her, after more than a year of learning game, she flies from NY to visit me, like 3 weeks ago. We have lots of kinky sex, videotape ourselves, and have an amazing time hiking, cooking, and hanging out all weekend. She tells me she still loves me, I return the phrase. Throughout the entire 8 months, I had told her about all the girls I had been sleeping with and gaming, and she had told me about guys she's dated as well. I told her about all the game / social dynamics / psychology I had been learning, and she had been learning the girl version as well. It's weird to me the situation we have now, but I don't mind it.

She's definitely been the person I've had the most connection with, the most rapport with, and the best sex. After she's done with medical school, I'm going to find her wherever she is, and marry her. Even if she's with a guy, I'm gonna steal her away from him. We've definitely both changed for the better, and have learned a lot about relationships, love, the game, and how to not be needy, and I feel like that's a lot of ground to cover for another girl. Meanwhile, we're doing an open relationship and trying to be as open in communication as we can about it, so yeah. Interesting.

Wednesday

I proctored two test practicals today. The first went by quickly, and during the second one during the rest stations the hottest girl in the class kept sneaking peeks at me. What a cheeky little sneak. Being a TA almost automatically gives you attraction points if you just have a strong presence in front of a crowd. A couple students stay after to finish up, including the cutey that always stays after her lab period. When I answer questions I make sure to lean in close and whisper, and give good eye contact.

Afterwards, I take a nap and meet up with Rainy girl to study more for the test. It's getting close and comfortable now, and we joke around, ask some getting to know you questions. We head to the review session together, and flirt a little bit in class. Whenever she answers a question correctly, we fist bump. She's flirting back, and it's a good vibe. She gives me a ride back to my car afterwards, but I don't escalate (boyfriend).

I head to trivia, finding TA girl 1, a balding dude, and brown skin girl. Brown skin girl is a student in the class, balding dude is a physics Phd. This dude turns out to be a complete asshole / dick, so I just ignore him. TA girl 1 keeps trying to talk to me, I'm exhausted from the day. Indian comic arrives with a buddy. I joke around with him for awhile, then peace out.

Tuesday morning

I'm starting a new routine to pump my state each day, this past week has been tiring and challenging for state control. I basically work on my verbal skills by talking to myself on the car ride, but pretending like I'm gaming a girl. I'll just ramble on and practice fun + challenging techniques just like Jason Capital taught me. It's working, and the day is already starting off better! I'm gonna keep practicing being high status the whole day.

Halfway through my first lecture, Rainy girl texts me some study slides. I text her, "I appreciate it, thanks!" She texts back, "Tell me I'm smart and ready for this exam because I'm freaking out" I know she's in the lecture so I turn around, make eye contact with her, and she gives me a big smile and a wave. I text her back, "You're gonna kill it".

We shall see how the rest of Tuesday pans out!

Whoa, when did my journal become a sticky?!

Got a lot to catch up on.

Thursday

It was a long week, and my mind and body were both exhausted. A challenging week for state control, but a good challenge nonetheless. Completely forget what I did that night.

Friday

My ex (the hot brunette road rage one) has a birthday party. I arrive, a load of people are there. This was the day I decided by state control was going to be a lot better. I moved my body, listened to music, and used verbal practice in my car (basically pretending I'm talking to a hot girl for practice) while driving to school, all to pump my state. I was in a great state all day, so it was natural for me to be in a good state at the party. I eventually start self amusing pretty hard, busting on everyone, including Indian comic, Colombian girl (now best friends with road rage girl), etc. etc. I stand on a foam roller and dance / converse. Girls try to push me off. Bratty girl arrives with a guy, flirts with me instead. Puts her hand on my chest. Pushes my head into her armpit to make me smell her after I tell her she smelled lol. BR girl is now following me everywhere. I converse with her, Jap dude, beard Noosa dude, and others around me. I flirt with model girl. Jap dude teaches us some hilarious Japanese phrases and idioms. We talk about pokemon and re-enact the team rocket motto. BR girl is laughing at everything that comes out of my mouth. I'm loud, and I'm proud. Pot girl is playing a flute she brought. I ask her to teach me how to play the skin flute. lol. Spanish girl texts me to hang out I tell her I'm at a party. Pot girl insists I walk her to her car, then rants to me as I walk her about me being an asshole (she's crazy and bipolar). I apologize with a smirk on my face, she continues to rant. I just walk away. She yells that road rage girl is upset too, and wants me to leave. Road rage girl is incredibly drunk, and probably jealous that every other girl at the party is flirting with me. She's been upstairs for awhile and wasn't coming down. I check the watch, 12 am. Eh, watevs. I peace out and pass out.

Saturday. I wake up, get "apology" texts from both road rage girl and pot girl, I forgive road rage girl and ignore pot girl (her text wasn't really an apology it was a fake apology then keep saying how I disrespected her text. I just do what I do, girl, it's all in good fun, wasn't trying to insult anybody. Plus, I already apologized.

I go to Jiu Jitsu training. Get promoted to blue belt #thuglyfe. We head to a brewery after. I chat with mostly dudes, still make good conversation and self amuse. People around us start talking to us cuz we're hilarious and fun. Pizza girl texts, wants to hang out, I invite her. She arrives, more goofing off. My training partner beto comes over and comments on how I bring a new girl every time he sees me. I tell him it's cuz I have sick game.

Beto is hilarious and is usually in a good state too, so girls love him as well. Me, him, and Steve (another training partner) all go with pizza girl to Illegal Pete's for burritos and more goofing off. Beto's wife is out of town for the week, so I'm supposed to take him around and show him a good time. Done. We head to Julie's (another training partner, but I think a lesbian) house to watch UFC fights. Pizza girl comes, it's all dudes (obviously) and we laugh and have a good time. The main fight with Ronda Rousey (<3!!!) ends in 14 seconds by armbar lol. Pizza girl is tired and leaves. I send out a round of texts cuz I'm still down for hanging out, it's around 11. I get responses from TA girl 1 and Spanish girl. I meet TA girl 1 at barcade, there's some dudes there, and BR girl is there. BR girl and I play some arcade games (Street fighter and Mortal Kombat) and then sit on a couch and talk. She sits a little further away because she's so nervous around me... awww how cute.

See, a novice here thinks: Oh no, that must mean she's not into me! How do I get her to like me?!
A gangsta thinks: (about everything she does) Yeah, she's doing that because she's attracted to me. (even if she denies it, which most girls will, even if they don't know wtf they're talking about)

I ask her what she was like in high school. She goes blah blah blah. I relate to her by telling my own high school stories blah blah blah. Think about escalating, don't, because it's a lit area and plus I'm actually not really attracted to her.

I glance at my phone for the time. Midnight. They all get up to leave. I get a text from Spanish girl, who wants to meet up. They leave, Spanish girl arrives. We go back into the barcade, and chat. I have great body positioning. I'm seated, leaning back, and she's in front of me, standing, talking to me. I tease her about her accent. She gets close, our legs are touching and there's incidental and more purposeful touching (my hand on her leg on high points). I think about escalating again. Although physically, the escalation has been good, Because there's a slight language barrier, I hesitate with the verbal escalation. I should've gone with something like, "How good of a kisser are you?" after I slowed things down a bit. However, it was in a well lit area, there weren't many dark corners, more excuses, more excuses, maybe I was just pussying out a bit. The vibe is good, there isn't as good of an emotional connection, just lots of attraction game.

She insists she hasn't been flirting with me (untrue). A dude arrives, picks her up and twirls her, and tells her she's beautiful (they know each other). She nervously giggled, but I can tell she's not into him. I greet him, joke around with him (novices here would try to out-AMOG him), but I literally don't give a shit, he leaves after a minute or two. More joking around, I glance at my phone. She asks me what we're doing now. Looking back, I should've taken her on an adventure, but I was actually tired so I told her I was heading home. She stops at my car and chats some more, but she's too far away from me for me to make a move. I call it a night and head home. This girl is fun, beautiful, and definitely attracted. She's going snowshoe-ing with Prodigy and Tbone the next day, I sincerely wish them a fun time! If an opportunity comes up for isolation, I'll go for the kiss next time.

Pros:
state control better, therefore attraction game solid as always
practiced emotional connection with BR girl
physical connection good

Working on:
Verbal escalation
