I have been gaming during the day for a couple months with a method I got from Doc Holiday (a Boston PUA) with limited success. I could get a phone number a comfortable percentage of the time but I was getting flaked on more than I would have liked. In addition, it I started to see a pattern that it was often difficult to get girls to qualify themselves. Finally, it clicked that I didn’t have enough attraction. Doc Holiday’s method basically consists of going direct (where he assumes attraction) and then going into qualification right afterwards. He then switches between qualification and comfort and either tries for the insta-date or goes for the number close. He is seen as a daygame expert so I assumed his method would work well but for me it was not working ideally. There are probably things in his daygame that he didn't mention but I am just going off a post on PUA Sanctuary.
The breakthrough for me came when I read some tips from Soul (a Love Systems instructor) on daygame. He opens direct as well, but immediately inserts some humor to ease awkwardness and create more attraction. My combination of these two methods is evident in the FR below. I saw a cute blonde girl with a bit of a hippy vibe at Panera. I waited for her to sit down and then approached.
Me: “I know this is totally random but I just had to come introduce myself…My name is Sal.â€
Her: “Sal? My name is HB.â€
Me: “So this probably happens to you all the time huh?â€
Her: [Smiling] “Noâ€
Me: “You’re going to ask me to take a number I am probably number 11 today!â€
Her: “Haha no, [sitting down] so what do you do?
From there it was all pretty natural. I answered her question and then switched between qualifying her, telling a story (usually with DHVs) and doing some comfort. I have noticed a pattern when trying to qualify college girls—often times they will just talk about how they are college students in response to a qualifier. This is clearly a lame response and I generally can get a better one by giving her a teasing look (difficult to explain in text) and saying “Everyone around here is a college student,†and then answering the question for myself (I got this from Doc Holiday). Usually after that they give you a better answer. I timebridged to hang out at a new bar (but we didn’t have a set time because we are both pretty busy. I got her number and then went back to do some work. By the time I asked for her number she enthusiastically said yes. I texted her later that night so she had my number and she responded. Last night she told me she would be out but I was exhausted so I didn’t go. Either way, just using that initial line about her getting approached like this all the time has helped my game a lot during the day. If anyone has any other observations or tips, let me know.
