Hi everyone. I'd been out of the game for a while and it was January this year that I decided to hit the field again. These are pulled out of my personal journal on my pc. There are a lot of other ones that I haven't included because I was basically crashing and burning. I just included the ones where I felt I was progressing. Any critiques would be appreciated because after a long hiatus, I am worse off than where I ended before. A little about me, I solo a majority of the time no matter if it's bars/clubs/street. Replies would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
FR1: Working on getting better with approaches. 4 sets, Addison, bar, didn't go solo this time
1. Christians
This was my first set of the night, porcelain looking girl and brunette. Opened. Had to push the opener because they didn't get it (some opinion opener). They gave their opinion and then my wing comes by. Proceed with introductions. Get my target to mini isolate. Ask how she knows her friend. Build up rapport. I feel like it might've been too soon so I back off a bit and do a cold read. Ask her to read me (probably bad move), she tries to be more alpha/cool/something but eventually does a shitty read on me. That's fine though, I basically got her to jump through my hoop in the end I think. Group dynamics begin and I engage all of them. Vibed a bit about them singing and found out that they sing for church or something. Decide to bail.
2. Gigglers
Originally a 3 set but one girl was occupied by someone else, jumped in. Before I could finish off my opener, they interrupted me and asked if I was a heart surgeon, I said yes but I can't seem to mend my own heart that's been broken so many times (corny I know), they doubled over laughing. I ask them what they're on because I want some of it, target points to corona. I can tell her friend is less giggly and being more protective so I start engaging her as well. I ask how they know each other and say wait let me guess best friends. Tell them they look at each other, they laugh and hold hands after that, got them feeling good. Friend is disarmed a bit now but I see that she is communicating with her friends in a separate group. Target says something about being married or maybe she didn't, I couldn't really hear, I don't even mind. I say it was very nice to meet her though and that if she sees me around she should say hi. She hugs me and leaves.
3. Sisters
2 set, looked DTF. Opened. Older chick was a bit drunk, wing comes in, I introduce everyone around. Older chick was my target but because of the way I was positioned, I got the younger girl. I asked how everyone knew each other, they said they were sisters (bullshit). Wing got a good one in because he said they both have the same nose. They go crazy with excitement at this. Hb older sister takes my hand and reads it or something. Then they ask how old I think they are, I guess some number but they might've heard 40. Chick grabs her friend and leaves. Sucks because I felt like I was doing good up to that point.
4. Shit
a. Talking to wing for like 15 minutes and the whole time these 2 girls were next to us. Opened, they're kind of quiet. They say something. Wing says something. That's about it.
FR2: I want to practice more. Doesn't matter day or night just whenever I can. This one's when I had some downtime in my commute.
Decided to try to practice day gaming for an hour every. I went and didn't open for 50 minutes. I had a hard time getting out of my head.
Regular girl
Opened direct with "beautiful but would regret later". She said thanks. I didn't feel like I was hooking so I followed with "I'm doing a challenge a day and my challenge today was to talk to a pretty girl". Hooked. Walked around for a bit with her, I felt nervous for some reason, decided to get a seat at the food court. Not so nervous anymore. Talked to her for a fucking hour about a ton of things. Exchanged numbers and decided to leave; however the ending didn't feel right.
FR + LR: More day game.
Woke up hungover, felt powerful for some reason.
Married chick, decent looking
Went to get coffee @ Starbucks. Saw her smile my way for a second (you know those courtesy smiles). I went up to her and asked about her macbook, she offered to let me mess around with it, talked a bit more about random stuff, basically just vibing. Moved to her table and we both sat down (she was packing up to leave when I opened her). Hit rapport. She had a wedding ring on and talked about moving here from somewhere else. I mentioned a few cool things about me. I wanted to escalate and just get out of this feel good stuff but how? I knew I had to start somewhere so I expressed intent by telling her that her eyes are beautiful. Hit on life and it's finiteness and doing what makes you feel good. Asserted that we would be seeing again, we exchanged emails. She said definitely and then tipped her coffee cup against mine and said "To new beginnings". We emailed back and forth, I never asked for her number and she never did for mine either. Met up one day, she was wearing a short skirt. We went out for frozen yogurt, then walked around a botanical garden and talked some more, greek food, my place for drinks. I felt like I was too far away from her at my apartment, walked closer to her, kissed her. In my bed, I experienced some LMR but I just got up and went to the kitchen to make a sandwich. When I came back, it was much easier to seal the deal. We saw each other multiple times again for 2 weeks before it was cut off due to guilt. No biggie.
Young, hot and smart
Shopping at Target, saw her, opened direct with "beautiful, would regret later". She beamed, told me she needed that, I introduced myself. Asked her why she had a bad day. Vibed. Told stories, mentioned me and girl I was dating who ended up having a bf, bit of a mistake to mention this *due to something that occurred later*. Joked around a bit. I expressed interest. She got my number and said she would call after a week because she had a boyfriend who's coming into town and she's trying to be "good". I said that's ok, we can be friends. Called once, texted twice, no reply. Sad because I wish I could have really fucked her.
FR: Solo, college night @ club
Loving the music here + young HOT chicks = ideal grounds for me
Interesting
Regular girl + cute friend with native american feathers on one of her ear-rings. Went to open. Regular chick left before I got to open both. So I ended up just talking to the cute girl (fine by me heh). I also thought to myself that I want to try other openers than opinion ones tonight. She isn't really impressed, seems a bit stand-offish already. Her friend comes in. I was thinking of ejecting but I engage her instead and get her laughing. I have a big grin while talking/vibing and making the friend laugh. Both are now hooked, feather ear-ring girl starts leaning in closer towards me. It's such a sudden change for me and I'm not sure how to handle things so I ended up telling them it was nice to meet them and bailed.
Lone girl and by far one of the hotter ones
Opened situationally. I was doing fine before I realized I had jumped straight to rapport. Stalled. Bailed.
Under 21
Noticed an IOI from a girl when I was outside on the patio. Walked up to the set, talked to them both. Turns out the target was under 21. She was laughing a lot when I busted her. She wanted me to buy her a drink (Earlier, I could tell that she might ask me this). Still, I took her inside and bought her a drink. Danced for a bit. Exchanged numbers. Bad move, I could've escalated.
