Your post reminded me times I used to live in Edinburgh for year, I used to work in cafe a and it was easy. I was young and naive and ignored lots of girls, was dating one.

But I could easily chat with girls in other cafes, Elephant House for example, I would go and write or read and the cafe was always full with lost tourists.

How about Forest cafe? I used to meet many girls there just to hang out, it is pretty nice place to meet, more alternative and artistic.
How about student parties? or Festival parties all round city in August?

Looking at your statas, just wonder how did you get that lay?

p.s. loved your signatures.

Good idea... actually, I never hang out in tourists' cafés. However, I doubt single tourist girls would go there to sit down and a get a coffee - to take pics outside, yes, perhaps a take away coffee but just to sit there when they have 1-3 days? Maybe in the evening, to let their tired legs rest and/or when the weather is crap. Usually, when I pass the Elephant café, it's jammed with Asian tourists.

My lay is here. Technically, happened the day after, she invited me over at night.

RE: The Approach Thread
3 approaches (got nothing):

1) there was this young girl with a microshort, a 6, tattoo on the ass going through the legs. Approach her with a "im a very direct kind of guy, watched you and I liked what i saw", she looks to me with a serious face and show me the ring on her finger "i'm engaged", I said ok and left.

2) a lawyer at my job. Great body but butterfacs. When she left the building I approached on the street "hey", she looked at me turned around and went the other way.

3) good looking girl on the streets, a 7, maybe 25/26, approached her from the side "hey, girl", she didnt even let me finish and turned around.

I guess today is one of those days... Qhen they dont even engage abd let you speak its strange, you kinda feel like a rapist or something.

RE: The Approach Thread
The strange thing is that I dont ser a pattern at all. Sometines it seems its all a matter of numbers and luck. Some women just respond well and engage, give her number, etc., and other wont even look on your face. And its not a matter of personal beauty: some better looking ones will actually engage, laugh, ask questions, while others, sometimes less good looking, will act rude. Strange.

Funny thing is when I was openes yesterday. Walking to a small store, and with headphones, I passed in front of a high school and notice these adolescents giggling and talking between themselves while looking at me: one of them comes close to me and ask me what time is it, all smiles, I answer and go on. When I came the way back they were still there and signaling to me: one of the girls ask me for my name and age, I answer (though I didnt say I am 33, but 25 - was actually a biy embarrassed by the situation, thwy qere very young); then I ask her her age and she answers 12 (fuck that)... There was another girl, taller and with a woman's body and I asked while pointing at her: and whats her age? They respond with "15" and I say "well, when you turn 16 we can get together", all these girls webt crazy laughing and shit (I dis it only for the LOLs but the 15 years old was really nice, tall and good looking, with a woman's body).

You have these adolescents, some of them still children in a senss, getting all crazy for a 33 years old guy. So much for the ones that say younger women dont dig older men.

RE: The Approach Thread
Got another number Saturday night - was at a piano bar with my friends and some homegirls of ours.

We see three girls 1 hot, 1 cute, 1 cock blocker - we see dudes trying to conquer and divide them so I start being a commentator and predicting what they'll say and do, the body language, etc

We're all having a good laugh, I see my buddy outside smoking a cigg, with the cute one. The cockblocker and hot one are inside while a guy is spitting game at the hottie, while his wingman is running interference.

I saw this as an opportunity to hit up the cute one. Went outside and was talking to my boy then drew the girl into the conversation and told her how I was being a commentator on the dudes hitting on them - she got a good laugh out of that.

We chat up a bit about music and if she was local, her name - I see her cock blocker friend about to come outside.

Already had my contacts open in my phone ready to go, she gave me her phone number saved it, told her we should meet up next week.

Cockblocker friend came outside, I go back in, have a drink and leave.


I hit her up this week, turns out she helps direct films, welds, skateboards, overall pretty chill.

We haven't much chance of a meet up, so next week seems good, she sends me paragraph texts, I occasionally reply with a long one since we always lag on replying to eachother.

She's local so hopefully we can hangout next week.

RE: The Approach Thread
Was walking with a fellow gamesman down the street, spotted a girl in a coat, young, blonde, slim, long legs. She turned towards a park alley, we walked behind her, then she turned and sat down on a grass. Came over, chatted up, from Germany on holidays with her dad but dad was nowhere near to be seen. Girl did shopping in Primark because if you come to Edinburgh what else would you do? Shopping. Told her about it and she laughed. Dad was supposed to meet her in an hour after organising car rental for the Highlands where they'd go tomorrow. Logistics shit, but told her I'd take her number and meet up once she come back to Scotland so I can tell her what would be good to study. She said she didn't have mobile phone on her? Sounded fake because no dad will let 18yo daughter roam foreign city on her own without being able to contact her? Put my number into her tablet anyway. Then we saw her, over an hour later by herself doing shopping on a main street. As we were walking past she was "purposefully rummaging" through her bag. A little liar...

Was raining so got into a coffee ship and there was a girl behind me in a queue. Instadated her on the spot, we both got coffee, went upstairs and chatted for an over an hour. Too bad she wasn't as attractive as I'd like it. Besides, logistically, she was about to catch a train in 2 hours time back home. Still, interesting conversation and brushed up on my idate skills.

Went out on Saturday -- Made about 3 Approaches -- two of them ended in phone #'s. I'm texting one of them now. Shaking off the rust and learning to play the game properly.

Do it for the notch.

RE: The Approach Thread
However uncomfortable, I must admit I fucked up today. What happened, there were at least two, if not more, girls, who were up my street in terms of looks (7-8) and the way they were dressed. Also, they wouldn't be that difficult to approach. One entered coffee shop, the other was on her phone standing outside on the street.

For whatever reason, my system shut down. Just couldn't bring myself into it, doing the damn thing - solo game. The more I tried to understand than, the more introspective I got, the more difficult was to get out of my fucking clam shell.

Overall, not a single approach (apart from a girl going downhill towards the gym in her outfit and that's how I opened her, just on my way to meet my friend but she wasn't in terms of looks what I was after so it doesn't count even if she was very into it and she didn't seem to that much).

Hopefully, I'll make up for it tomorrow. Wish me luck, boys.

RE: The Approach Thread
Was in a pub, near my home with a new friend.
I was showing him the ropes and focusing on the 16 commandments.
We moved from our table to the bar, to have better seats. There was literally no talent, or that the talent was with a boyfriend.

Than, 2 ladies entered. One short and blond and the other 5"10. The short one was HB7 and the tall one was HB6.
They sat next to us, and seemed inviting.
I opened them with my friend, and took over the conversation.
HB7 was being engaged from the other side of the bar by a younger person and did not show any interest to participate in the conversation.
Within minutes, I (being further from HB6) light touched her and saw that she was responding well.
"Stand up" I ordered her. She complied. Being a tall person (6"5.5') I tend to make girls feel small.
"It has been a long time since you felt tiny" I cold read her. She smiled and agreed.
I kept her standing, while talking with her. Took her arm and put it on my shoulder, while I was holding her waist.
Kept moving between teasing and comfort, then tried to kiss her and got the cheek.
"Not here" she said quietly. "We can go outside" I smirked. She was caught off guard.
I tried two times more during the following hour to kiss her, but could not.

I worked the cockblocks well - both my friend and her friend (teased the hell out of her, telling her she should stick with the guy talking to her as he is successful and she is not smart enough to take care of herself).
Another friend of HB6 showed up. So I engaged her, and explain (upon her asking) that I'm a guy who hit on her friend.

I saw that I could not advance it further (as the new friend started taking bits of attention) got the number and bailed.
Let's see what I will be able to make of it. We are now texting.

RE: The Approach Thread
Quite a few over the weekend, too many to list them all. Was rolling on Sunday with a very competent guy and we did a few 2 sets and it was an interesting to see how he worked it and good learning experience.

Sadly, I got no numbers, making it my longest streak like that. Perhaps because I'm not showing much sexual intent, deviated from a model and were free-styling. Also, I had a number of times just bad luck. A few more interesting ones:

Saw a girl with her mum in M&S. I use this word rarely but she was beautiful. And Scottish. A rarity. Tall, slim, wearing short, feminine floral dress to boot. Straight 9. I see girls like that at best a few times a month (and almost always with boyfriends).

I couldn't not approach, though knew it has little to no chance to be successful. Hoped she would split from her mum among isles but no - these adult girls follow mums like little ducklings. Then they got into self-check out queue, which would give me some time to strike up a conversation, but two others got in between. Followed them up stairs, hoping they'd go to another store and I'll have 10-30 seconds in to open. No chance. They went to the bus stop, sat down, two older women flanking them sitting as well, some other people milling around waiting for the bus.

Fuck it. Went in, was a bit awkward but not really that much. Older women where looking at me with their jaws dropped. The girl was giving me nothing. Absolutely nothing. Acknowledged her mum. Very limited time, spectators, waiting for the bus, so made my pitch, declined - don't remember was it her or mum saying there was a boyfriend. Have a nice day.

Saw a sexy Swiss 18 years old tourist girl, clear skin, comely countenance, peachy ass, long legs and tight jeans to boot leaving museum. Approached, 30 seconds in her older auntie comes back and throws daggers with her eyes at me and says she's her mother. Have a nice day.

Saw a sexy girl at a bus stop sitting between two older women. There was an ice-cream shop behind us in front of which, on a pink bench, two average girls were sitting. I sat down on an adjoining bench. My wing just went in and asked the two average what they thought about the three women at a bus stop and that I wanted to talk to the young one. They looked at me, I said I was shy, saw one older woman left, so went straight in to the bus stop. Made a faux-pas asking the tall, cute, Dutch girl, if it was her mum or grandma (it was mum but looked fucking old). Mum was having none of it, saying nothing and drilling me with her eyes. Visiting and going next day to the Highlands. I felt an interest from the Dutch girl but it was clearly a no-go. Have a nice day.

Saw a girl entering a souvenir shop, looking latin, tight body, peachy ass, tight jeans. We got in but she leaves walking rather fast but I stopped her and she hooked almost immediately. I could feel some excitement and openness. Asked what she was up to tonight as she told she was going back to US next day. She said she was meeting a friend for dinner. It was late evening anyway, no chance to idate but if I pressed hard perhaps I could've got her for late night drinks. Have a nice day.

Was walking with my wing down the street, he saw a 2 set coming up at us, Front stopped them, told the targeted girl, sexy slim with nice curves, tight top exposing midriff, tight black jeans, some tats and septal ring to get off the phone (she was about to make a call), and that she could call him (ex-bf was on the displayed screen) back later. The girl looked almost hypnotised. I had to do nothing. He acknowledged the other girl who was visiting but as she kept quiet there was no need for me to say much. She complied with everything, he did some hand touching, then took her number. It's hard to describe, would have to be seen to be appreciated.

Was standing outside McDonalds, saw tidy chick going in. Got in a queue behind her, ordered ice-cream, chatted her up whilst waiting for our orders. Swedish, blonde, nice body, solid 7 I'd say, was kinda interested, opened her up with her pump-trousers of fuck knows what it was, wasn't hooking very well but was thinking it could go somewhere but then her ordered came, she took it quickly and went upstairs. I followed, but saw her tucked in a far corner, next to other people, assumed she didn't want to be bothered. Have a nice day.

Saw a girl on a grass sitting, then laying down and reading and looking at her phone intermittently, in a short floral skirt. It was a bit of a pressure situation as many other people sitting around bathing in sun, though no-one within an ear-shot vicinity. All went smooth, though I wasn't impressed with her face and she was, and saw multiple cuts on her forearms as well as some syringe stabs so was rather unimpressed. Regardless, she said she was waiting for a boyfriend so bailed out.

There were some other single sets and 2-sets, the latter being a novelty, but by third 2-set I was getting a good hold of it and think I can reasonably work a 2-set with a competent wing and/or attempt to do a 2-set by myself, if needed, though, of course, single girls much preferred.

I don’t ever give up. I mean, I’d have to be dead or completely incapacitated.

RE: The Approach Thread
I had a rough week a couple of weeks ago – I was consistently freezing at potential approach opportunities. I don’t suffer from “approach anxiety;” it’s more like my mind just goes blank and I can’t think of absolutely anything to say. I regrouped mentally and decided I needed to hit it hard.

I committed to keeping a log and including a lot of detail. Date and time, what I’m wearing, location, specifics about the girls and as much detail of the interactions as I can remember. I end each one with a Notes/Summary section where I discuss what I did well and what I could’ve done better and should improve upon. I update it as soon as possible after each approach or set of approaches. My next few posts in this thread will be modified from this log. I don’t intend to spam the board with every single one, but I’ll include ones that I think illustrate an important point, highlight a good or bad technique, or relate to an important personal development.

It started with an usual Saturday night.

I got in touch with a buddy of mine that I hadn’t seen for awhile, mostly because I was out of town for 2.5 months. He and one of his friends had been drinking all day and called me over to join them. I said I wanted to go out so even though they were kind of out of it they agreed. I met them at a different person’s place (long story) so they didn’t have any decent clothes. I was dressed decently (long sleeved blue & white checked button-down, dark jeans, nice shoes) and they were dressed like a bum and slob. However my buddy is 6’4, deep voice, good stubble, good hair – overall a pretty quality wingman to have. I’ve always wondered why he isn’t slaying bitches left and right. There could be a lot of reasons so it’s not worth speculating.

I’ve never ever discussed game with my buddy. Not at all. We get to the first bar and very non-chalantly I say that we should be on the lookout for girls. He’s all for it. I say let’s scope the place out and see what the situation is. The best option is 4 girls at a table. They are early 20’s, ratings 4, 4.5, 5, 6.5. They’re drunk and taking selfies – typical behavior. I say I’m going to go over and talk to them.

I come up with something on the spot. I go over to the table and tell the girls I need help. They ask what’s going on. I point to my friends and say that we have a bet and I need them to settle it for us. The bet is we had to guess how the 4 knew each other and whoever was the furthest away needed to buy the others a round. I tell them the options are: 1) work together in HR 2) kickball team 3) sewing/knitting Meetup group.

3 of them like the premise. One (the 4 of course) is offended by the suggestion of sewing/knitting. Not joke offended but really offended. Banter for awhile. Somehow on the topic of sewing I make a remark about them knitting garments for their cats. One asks me how I feel about booties. I like where this is going.

The 6.5 asks for my name, I get the girls names. One says her name is Lynn. I asked her if it was spelled Lin and if she has Chinese heritage (she is blonde). Ha ha. It’s going well, 6.5 is digging it. Suddenly the 4 panics, grabs the 6.5 and storms out saying they have to go. It’s obvious this was only her idea (one says “oh, I didn’t realize we were leaving”) as they all have half finished drinks. They scurried away quickly. The 4 is physically blocking me from the 6.5 (literal cock block!). I could’ve at least gotten her number, but it happened too fast and they escaped.
I told the others not to worry, we played it well but got thwarted by an impenetrable cock-block from the sour unattractive one.

Notes: I think it was pretty cool to just go up to 4 girls and start a conversation. I was pretty funny and charming and I had something good going. I can't think of anything I would've done differently.

2) The friend of friend (slob) left and my buddy and I went to another place to which we arrive around 1AM. This is more of a loud, dark atmosphere (venue for this approach #3).

There are 4 girls sitting near a fake pay phone with smartphone chargers. 5, 6, 6, 7.

I can’t quite remember the opener. Something about my friend’s shitty flip phone and not being able to charge it or something about calling Ghostbusters. We just talked about random shit, what they do etc. I was standing next to the 5 and ended up talking to her the most. Backstreet Boys, One Direction, random nonsense. Leaned against her a bit, a bit of light touching.

Tip: twice this night groups of young girls asked me who I voted for so apparently this is a thing now. I told them that I voted for myself as a write-in. This led to some funny banter both times.

Advice: Young girls love the Spice Girls, Friends, and Sex in the City. It’s not necessary to know anything about these entities aside from who the main characters are. The song Wannabe came on as it often does in places like this. After it was over I asked them to identify as Spice Girls and then I assigned guesses. One (one of the 6s) called herself (6) “Lazy Spice” – I realized that for the future this would be a good jokey technique. Come up with silly adjectives – Lazy Spice, Clumsy Spice, Slutty Spice if you’re wanting to escalate.

Same concept applies to Sex in the City – the 4 characters are typically known by adjectives 2 of which are “The Slutty One” (Samantha) and “The Hot One” (Charlotte). This provides a very easy way to escalate. During a later approach (for a different post) 3 girls asked me to guess their names so I did Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel – I guessed Phoebe for the blonde ditzy one.

I talked about this and that with the other 6 and the 7. They got ready to go. I asked the 6 if she wanted to hang out, she said she was engaged. “To be married?” Yes. Congratulations.

Notes:
• I was leaning forward too much, should have better posture next time.
• My friend was really out of it so that didn’t help much. He apologized to me later and said he’d be better prepared next time (to which I replied “and better dressed.”) I can’t fault him though, I pulled him out of what he had been doing and it all kind of came out of nowhere.
• I also should’ve targeted the one I had done some touching with and escalated more. I doubt it was a sure thing, but appropriate target selection and isolation are key things I need to improve upon.
• I also hung around for too long. I should have left for a bit when things slowed down and come back later.

I considered some closing time Monkey Game but didn’t feel up to it.

Later on (2:30-3AM) I did a couple Gutter Game approaches. The last one I played very very poorly. I don’t want to go into detail due to excessive lameness but I know what I did wrong so I won’t make those mistakes again.

I didn’t score but it was a really fun night. I was so pumped up from adrenaline that I couldn’t fall asleep until 6AM. My friend said he really enjoyed it too and that he wanted to do it again soon. The idea of him being my wingman and not the other way around is ludicrous but I'll roll with it. It'll be like the legally blind leading the actually blind but we'll learn together through experience.

I’m a couple of weeks behind, so I’ll catch up as time allows.
