June 5 (7/40)



40 approaches/7 numbers


Summary
Approached 40 girls. Huge thanks to @play_time_is_over . After he got 25 I felt like I had to push myself today.

Was really fun for the first 25 approaches then it became tedious after that.

I think next time I won't focus on the headcount as much as the process of just being fast and ballsy.



It does feel pretty cool to send 6 new girls a text in a row.




Balls-ness
- One duo
- Approaxhed in front of a security guard
- approached one girl a few feet away from the girl I got a number from.
- Approached one in line with a few observers
- Multiple walking girls (this is feeling easier).



Numbers
1. Hot teacher. Looked at me when I entered the store. Really cute.
2. Accidentally hit on an employees starting a job at the store I was approaching in.
3. Very timid/nervous girl. Seemed unreceptive but got rhe contact.
4. Hot Norwegian girl who somehow made it into Canada during Covid. Leaves in 4 weeks.
5. Another accidental Employee! Was buying food before work
6. Super hot girl waiting kn line. I honestly thought she was too hot to be single. Guess I was wrong.
7. OK looking costume designer. Worked in the film industry. Honestly wasn't too stoked about her. Gave her my number. I coulsbe pushed but didn't want to.


Challenges
- at the start of the day the challenge was just to not think and approach. But near the end of the day I was basically approaching extremely fast. Almost reflexively.
- I got like 3 numbers really quickly in one mall and I noticed I was shying away from other approaches because I though5 I might be *seen* by one of the girls I exchanged with.
- lethargy kicked in right around approach #25. I just wanted to go home and sleep after that.
- duos are still tough. But Im doing more of them.
- dunno if I lack good venues or just can't approach fast enough. I dont think I've done 20 in an hour yet.
- Still need to work on being seen by other girls who I approached earlier.
- I still feel like a texting noob.

Lessons
- counting approaches is maybe the wrong focus. I think I should just focus on being ballsy, fast and having fun. When it started to be about headcounts my focus started to drift and I was feeling off.
- I still feel like it was inefficient. Might start each day with how fast I can get to 10. Or some challenge like that to get my speed up.
- I might just have to work harder than most people because of the venues/foot traffic I'm working with.


@Thebastard thanks man. Huge respect for the number of approaches you've done.

Damn, that's amazing.

June 7th

1st cold approach date.
Norwegian girl. Hotter than I remembered.
Tried to get her back twice, nothing, kissed at the end.


But I'll be honest I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT I'M DOING.


How it went:
Went to a starbucks.
Then we went for a walk.
Talked for probably 20 minutes than I transitioned to "do you like movies"? ... "do you want to watch one now?"
She said no. She was tired.
Walked around for maybe another 20 minutes. Then i said "You want to get some wine?"
"sure why not." Kind of as like a "let's just live life a little" response.
Then I thought "fuckkkk... I don't even have wine." So I had to find a place as we were walking, and then when I looked on Google Maps she said "actually I only have 30 minutes"... "I don't think that's enough time to sitdown somewhere".

Anyway that put the date into the grave in my mind. 2 nos for a transition.

At the end, I just said "I want to kiss you" and did. The kiss felt natural/impulsive.

Maybe if I was more experienced I'd see something and act differently, but I was just thinking "well atleast I get to walk around with a hot girl I guess". It should be noted my nerves were anxiety was pretty much on fire.


@Radical @Thebastard Would you have changed what I did? Or is it just on the girl at this point?


----

Anyway...
I don't know what to text her now. I honestly don't even know how much I did right vs. wrong at this point.
My only goal for the date was to push myself. And I did. Asked her back twice, got the kiss.

I know I did the AA program, and proven I can do a reasonable number of approaches, but I am still in the total "Noob" category. Like this is pretty much my first date ever. Just a basically a nub really.



Calories: 1510 right now
Weight 172 (dropped 1 lbs. from last week).
Approaches 0

I need to approach more. 1 date on Thursday and then nothing.
I need to schedule dates so I can still approach that day.

[dashedhopes]

Good shit man.

Few more dates and you'll get that cold approach lay.

It'll get easier and easier the more you do it for sure.

[MakingAComeback]

Excellent

[Radical]

HAVE WINE IN YOUR FLAT ALREADY!

[Radical]

Have the following in your flat at all times

Oster Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough - white wine
19 Crimes - red wine

Any kind of rose ( i dont really like it so prefer they pick red or white)

[RogerRoger]

That's a huge leap @Manganiello! Keep in mind that I did 42 in CPH March 2020 (pre-covid) before I did the 124/day - so you're in a similar boat to get up there.

I was pretty crippled at the end of that day so I would recommend building up your walking volume before chasing 100+ XD

June 8 (3/11-14)



Summary:
- 3 numbers, out of maybe 11 or 14? Idk
- All conversations were under a minute.
- 1 number from a duo, 1 number from a shy chick, and 1 number from a hot indian girl getting bubble tea.
I feel good about approaching the duo. But I missed an instadate potential with the girl getting bubble tea.


Lessons

Be less careless with the venues:
I'm pretty sure to hit high volume (20-30) on a weekday. Which FUCK i would love to do. Needs to go like this:
1. Good Mall (Northwest part of the city)
2. Drive 20minutes
3. Good Mall 2 (Southeast part of the city)
4. Drive 15minutes back to my apartment
5. Approach on the streets.

Could probably get to 15 approaches pretty easily with that setup. If I start approaching 80% of the girls I see, I'd probably hit 25 or 30 Maybe.

Situational Audacity is extremely important. And besides the venues, the biggest limiting factor.


Consciously be quick on trigger.
Probably missed 5 girls at the dead mall I was at because I hesitated, or just not paying attention.

Go after girls that are eating together. Lots of opportunity here around my place. Probably could've added another 6 or 7 approaches in from this situation. It might be redundant once indoor dining is allowed agian in 2 days, but still.

Instadate.
Normally it would be, do you like coffee? Lets get some. Right now.
But she was already ordering, so I couldn't think of what to say. Maybe this would've worked better: "Lets go for a walk, I want to get some coffee." but idk. Honestly just saying anything would've been better to get that instant date. Most of these numbers flake anyway. so might as well get a date in when I see an opportunity.

Yeah man 124, is crazy.

There's an event happening here in July. I'm going to try and get to 124 then. I have no idea how busy that event will be, but that's probably the only way to get that much in this city with Universities and public transit being completely dead.

[RogerRoger]

Do it!

June 6 (2)

Quick update
- only 2 approaches
- Couldn't see anything.

Had an eye appointment. Pupils got dilated. Like Supppeeerrr dilated. I looked high.
Went to buy some shades so I didn't look so high. But the mask kept fogging them up.
So I literally like couldn't tell what girls looked like.

Approached a 40 year old, accidentally.

<moderator edit>


---

Anyway I'm just sick of organizational stuff getting in the way of approaching time. I need to get everything that could get done on the weekend, done on the weekend. I'm fairly starved for time, and I need my life to revolve around getting higher approach volume. Like really do.
I want to hit 20 approaches like it's nothing. I want 30 in a day to be a norm. I really do.
