RE: The Approach Thread
Approach #7

I follow her on the train, sit on a seat nearby pretending to read my kindle. I wait a minute or two, and pull out a fake phone call (is this becoming a crutch?).

I end it after 2 minutes after getting some glances from her, and knowing this will be a good approach.

‘Excuse me, are those boots leather?’
‘No, but they look like it I guess.. I got them from Aldo’
‘I see. They look genuine though, the material looks good’

We talked about boots for a minute or two. Then I branched conversation to whatever she was doing, which was reading a textbook. Turns out she was studying for the same test I have this week, so we are in the same class (of 300 people). Except she is a fourth year, while I am a third.

She was giggly and talking really fast the whole time. The were several silences, and I’d just look away thinking about what to say next and she’d be giving me eye contact. She stopped reading and playing with her phone. I felt I could have had less silences here, but I had to make the conversation last 15 minutes or so until my stop and she wasn’t the best conversationalist, and I was a bit weaker than usual today.

It didn’t matter, as I remind myself that no approach is perfect. And even then, it might come off unnatural if you are 100% flawless, she might get the impression you do this daily.

I asked her name, smiled, and looked away after holding eye contact for a bit, and then she asked for mine.

As I get ready for my stop, I tell her we should hang out some time. No response, hah. I look at her for two seconds, and it seems she is doing some serious thinking.

‘It’s up to you, here I’ll take your number’
‘..Okay’

After I get her number, I ask how excited she will be when I text her.
‘..Well I have a boyfriend.’

‘That’s cool. — How long have you guys been together?’ (Might have not been the best response but whatever)
‘5 years’
‘Well I will send you a text. it was nice to meet you’

As I put my hand out to meet hers as I stand and she is sitting she awkwardly tries to go for a hug, I laugh and just shake her hand and a hug wasn't going to work because it would have been really strange for me to bend down and hug the sitting girl. She was all awkward and nervous at the end but I smiled and said see ya.

Not sure how her having a 5 year LTR will play out in a meet up attempt. If she’s receptive to my text, I’ll just ask her to meet for drinks which should clear up my intention, and who knows from there. Maybe she is looking for an excuse, and I could give that to her. Maybe I’m being too optimistic and she won’t even reply to my first text.

I think its important to play the ball in her court, and let her decide. Don’t reject yourself by not making an attempt.

Do you guys find that your number of day time approaches goes down in the winter? Mine have dropped dramatically as it gets dark early and there's not as much time

5 years is almost like being married.... he he he..

She may well be looking for some fun or an out. I have hooked up with girls in relationships (including married), and in those cases, as long as I don't know the guy, I leave it up to girls to show her interest then I go with it.. I have found that sometimes those girls are more willing to pay their own way and even to pay for me as well.. Play it kind of like a regular gaming, unless or until she puts some kinds of stops... and if she is somehow NOT clear about your intentions, then exit.

I would attempt to meet for the drink... and maybe to get the bang.. then or sometime soon thereafter.

RE: The Approach Thread
OK So I did the approach today on that cashier I mentioned (a few posts back ^^^) when I went to buy some milk.

The store was fairly quiet as it was close to dinner time, post rush hour. Said hi to her and asked how her day was going, how busy,etc. She was smiling the whole time and very pleasant while I was talking to her. I ask some generic questions.

Me: "How do you like working here? I bet it's a pretty fun, social place."

Her: "Yeah it's a really nice place to work"

Me: "So how long have you been working here?

Her: "3 months"

Me: "Ah, cool."

Some more banter like that, then she hands me my change. I pick up my bag.

Her: "Have a nice evening"

Me: "Thanks, you too."

She walks around me to the end of the aisle next to me to straighten some bags.

I turn and pause, and almost think to leave

Me: "So... where are you from originally? I'm guessing not around here."

(She starts to smile/blush more as guess it's obvious why I'm talking to her...)

Her: "I'm actually from Puerto Rico"

Me: "Yeah, I was going to say maybe South America or something like that. Wow that must be a big change with the weather from there to here. Was it hard to get used to the weather here, especially on cold days like today?"

Her: "Actually it was really hard. I'm not used to the cold."

Me: "Do you ever go skiing or do anything like that in the winter?"

Her: "No I've never done anything like that"

Me: "When you hang out, what do you usually do for fun?"

Her: "I'm pretty much up for anything"

Me: "Anything, huh? Well, then I think we should hang out and you should give me your phone number"

Her: (smiling/blushing more) "Well, actually, I already have a boyfriend"

Me: "Ah. Hey, that's OK I'm not around all the time"

Her: "No, Thanks"

Me: "Alright. I bet this probably happens to you all the time, huh?"

Her: "It happens" (smiling, blushing)

Me: "Hey. Well, enjoy it"

I probably was smiling way to much or whatever but it was hard not to because she was smiling and blushing so much. It's a sympathetic thing with your nervous system. Anyways the whole thing was really fun and lighthearted, and the lesson is that even getting rejected can be fun, and is always better than not approaching.

I think doing this stuff in a store is kind of hard and I probably rushed the interaction, maybe came on too strong or whatever, but it's hard to build a long conversation when you know you're taking them away from their work. My game is pretty lame I guess but whatever, I'll just keep approaching. The point is that it was fun.

Good effort dude!

Cashier game is frustrating. It's such a target rich area for me but simultaneously frustrating because logistics make it hard for isolating them (customers etc) it's like a major tease for me Sad

RE: The Approach Thread
So this happened in September, a couple weeks after I moved to Montreal.

I was at a convenience store on Av du Parc and bought a couple beers with the intention of going to Mont Royal for the Tam Tam. (its a drum party) There was a cute girl next in line after me. I paid and turned around, said hello, and asked if she was going to the "drum festival thing." She wasnt planning on it but changed her mind and decided to tag along with me. She grabbed one beer and we went to Mont Royal. It seemed too easy. We hung out for an hour or so at the parc, she introduced me to some people, and we sat on the grass drinking our beers. Turns out she has a boyfrend, but I still got her contact. I have seen her one time since then. We met up a bar for drinks, but again nothing happened as she still has a boyfriend. We stay in touch and I figure the best I can do here is to infiltrate her group of friends and find someone single. She is an 8, and cute girls have cute friends. She also 21, so the perfect age, thus her friends will be around that age too.

Yeah. Cute girls do have cute friends, and hypothetically if you have an 8 as a wing, then you would be in good shape.. And, possibly, you could play the wing thing for a while until you bang a few of her friends, then she may discontinue winging for you.... Smile Smile Nothing wrong with that kind of a plan.

RE: The Approach Thread
Regular flyer (at least twice a month) on domestic airlines in Indonesia. First time ever, I am seated next to a nice-looking girl, tall, maybe an 8. Four seats per row, so it's just us. She tries to sleep most of the hour-long flight. I notice a wedding ring, and also that her hands look older than her face, but whatever. Could be 26, could be 30 judging from the hands.
Prepare for descent, she wakes up. Here I have inspected the book on her lap, hey it's Haruki Murakami, an amazingly literary choice for a country where nobody reads. I ask her if that particular novel is any good, talk about his writing style, mention that the author almost won the Nobel. "So why didn't he win?" "I guess someone else was better." Since she laughs unselfconsciously at something that stupid, I figure it for an IOI. I ask if she's on break from college, as our flight originates from a college town. No, she's originally from there, flying to where she lives now.
Oh, so she's finished college already? "Already graduated, already working, already ___" which I think was a mumbled "married" and then -- she slumps over slightly towards me, her hair falling over and obscuring her face. It was like a computer crashing or a narcoleptic faint. Silence. I just think, oookaaayy and let it go at that. No sign of life until doors are opened.
Not an impressive display of game, but I thought it might be worth posting just because of the bizarre conclusion, and I had no idea how to resurrect the conversation from that signal that her life sucks in the five minutes left. Should I have patted her hand or something in consolation? And if she's capable of unsocially terminating a normal conversation that oddly, I didn't want potential drama involving whoever's picking her up, or my gf who is picking me up.
Best guess: my affected implication that she looked younger than her age gave her a fit of depression, which peaked when she mentioned being married.

RE: The Approach Thread
Approach #8

Sat near her on the train. She made it very difficult logistically for an approach, she had seated at the very corner of the car in a closed spot, facing the wall. Nevertheless, I sat a couple seats away, facing her, although she was facing away from me.

I waited a couple minutes and pulled out a FPC. Talked for a few, and ended the call.

There was a newspaper near me, and I thought about an approach, as I said the words:

‘Excuse me, do you read the newspaper? That's a really interesting article on the front page’ (or something along those lines, I really improvised) as I handed it to her.
‘What is it?’
‘it looks like something something’

She grabs it and looks at it. She seems receptive. Before approaching I noticed she wasn’t playing with a phone and seemed to be reading a book.

‘is that a good book you were reading?’
‘its a prayer book’
‘..so you were praying?’
‘yeah haha’
‘that is interesting. I’ve never seen someone pray on the train before, usually i see people praying at the church.’

She was very receptive and was smiling and adding to conversation. She soon asked me if I was on the commute home from school. From there we branched to school conversation, travel, and some other personal topics. She was asking a lot about me. She also happened to be a few years older, doing her grad school in medicine.

After a 10-15 minutes of conversation, i ended it by getting her number. It seems she likes me, but throughout the conversation I found myself judging her, to see if I really liked her. I wasn’t strongly attracted to her, but she does pass the boner test, although her face is barely cute, her body was what made me do the approach in the first place.

RE: The Approach Thread
Friday night: went out with the cousin to not stay home. We entered a sushi bar typeof place, notice we are under 21. Cousin Iis also into game and is deeply involved in game aswell.. we order our appetizers he ask the waitress for beer and she did not card us as his thick and half grown beer suggested we were of age. Had a good meal went to a hooka lounge near by walking distance.
We were about to pay the bill when a nice bodied blonde marilyn monroe type of girl came to both of us and leaned in, she said
"I was staring at you guys for the longest and neither of you looked"
Surprised as to what she said because she seemed to be on a date with a guy my cousin let me speak and I said
"Oh really? I dint even notice you what a creep staring at us"
She laughed and sat back down at her table.
By the looks of it her man was making some touchy moves but judging I dint dlfeel she was reciprocating. She technically approached us..
I was was waiting for her to stare back and I gave her the "I got my eyes on you signal with my 2 fingers she did the same and laughed.
The man she was with apparently went out to take a call and I made my way towards her. The guy gets back and im speaking to her already, I told her
"You look like a newbie you dont hooka huh"
She said, "no im a weed type of person"
"Yea I can tell"
I proceeded to comment on her hair it looked very marilyn monroe-ish
She said "yea thanks" I dint even complement her on it,
I then told her, with the guy she was apparntly on a date with was sitting next to her now "get my number so we can hang out some time"
I put my number on her phone and left to pay my bill, by the time I got out she had already texted me her name. I replied around 30 mins later with my text saying
"Cool cat omyg you met @ the hookah lounge"
I cant say its solid but by the fact that she approached us and went out of her way to come tell us she was staring at us kinda hinted a green light so I took it.
I simply felt like a total boss getting her number while the guy that was trying to fuck her was next to her, lets see where this goes..

RE: The Approach Thread
College campus.. I see a cute, young, white girl in yoga pants. Long hair and nice, clean skin with a pretty face and hot body.. She is walking fast so I have to hurry up. She goes into the bookstore to buy something, I act like I'm shopping for something as I wait for her to pay. She pays and starts to walk out, I turn my back and basically walk right in front of her pretending that I don't notice her..

As soon as we get outside, I pretend to notice her and I look over my shoulder at her as she is behind me..

I slow down just one step so we get right next to each other..

me: i love your jacket
her: oh thanks
me: that material is so comfy
her: i know i love it
me: what is it? wool or something?
her: ya i think so
me: i want a full body suit like that to wear on these cold days
her: haha that would be nice
me: are you from southern california or something?
her: yes im from san diego
me: oh cool, ya you will be a little cold up here
her: im learning that

Blah, blah, blah..

We walk and talk a little more about food and the weather.

We get to a fork in the road and she says she is going tot he gym. I decide to go for the number and move on..

me: nice to meet you, im gio
her: im simonne
me: we should exchange numbers and chat again sometime
her: um ya sure

I texted her about 2 hours later to ask how her workout went. She got back to me and we texted a little last night.

*****

10 minutes later, I see another cutie, Latina, long hair, nice body. She is walking towards the bus stop, I hurry to catch up. She sits down at the bus stop, a minute later I walk up pretending that I am just walking by..

me: hello

I continue walking a few steps to make it appear like I haven't come to talk to her..

her: hi

I slow down..

me: i like your jacket

I stop.

her: oh thank you
me: thats a cool shade of green, it reminds me of money
her: haha ya i wore it because someone owes me money and i was hoping to collect it today
me: haha you are trying to use color schemes to get in their mind huh?
her: ha ya but it didn't work
me: too bad. how was class today?
her: oh pretty good
me: what did you have?
her: psychology
me: thats my favorite
her: ya its interesting if you have a good teacher
me: thats true, are you from around here?
her: no im from santa clarita
me: where?
her: its right near 6 Flags as you get over the grapevine
me: oh ya i know that town, i stop at a little mexican place right off the freeway
her: at a little shopping center, truck stop?
me: exactly
her: omg! i love that place!
me: thats funny

She got really excited and a connection was made. We chatted for a few more minutes and getting her number was easy.

I texted her about 10 minutes after meeting her and joked about the truck stop in her hometown. She got right back to me. I will try to set up a little dinner date in a few days

RE: The Approach Thread
two things to share:

I changed my POF pics and started getting approached. Cougars sending me openers and shit ("hi" and "you should drop me a line"). It feels weird but nice being opened.

In this post I talked about drinking with the 4 regional bosses and other upper managers yesterday after a company event. We all got drunk (or at least I did). In the process a manager that works in my office next to me puts her hand on my legs and I acted as if nothing happened. Then she took her hand off. Later on she bought me drinks. As much as I wanted to fuck her, I was confused on how to react but did thank her for the drinks. Everyone was there outside, clear tables, coworkers around us. Before leaving she hugged me, actually she gave me another hug before we started drinking.

Did I do well here?

I wanted the bang but didn't want to get on the wrong side of the bosses by shitting where I eat, especially being there less than a month.

It seems as if you played that particular night pretty well b/c you gotta be careful when there are others around, and likely we would need a lot more details to figure out how you should play the boss to your best advantage.

Certainly, I am NOT opposed to sleeping in the chain of command - especially if the higher up is doing the pursuing, and it could be a good strategy, if you play it to your advantage, but it seems to me that you gotta be discrete in the beginning, until you establish the relation - thereafter, you may be able to play it in a less discrete way to get what you want - though these situations are going to vary.

I tend to NOT be very good at this b/c I get bothered by the situations in which I would need to play the suck up and to spin to make the boss look good.. However, if the circumstances were right, I could probably play that a little more, and I would be willing if the boss was doing quite a bit of the work in the relation and I was just going along b/c I could see that it suited my circumstances.

Certainly, you gotta also be prepared for the fall out in the event that it does NOT work out and for example if you get found out before you are established, then it could mean that the boss-lady has to save face and sacrifice you - which you may NOT be prepared for such, and who needs that kind of drama/battle, unless you are prepared for it by having a back-up plan (a plan b, so to speak).

RE: The Approach Thread
Had another weird one day gaming. I'll give the punch line up front: I though I was going to get a smash, but I didn't.

I'm walking through the city square and see an asian girl, and we lock eyes and she smiles. So it's an easy approach.

Me: Hi I'm Dusty.

Heidi: I'm Heidi.

blah blah. Turns out she is from Dallas visiting my city. She was with a friend who had a meltdown and left early. She had a 7pm flight but it was delayed until midnight. So she is all alone in a city not her own.

Me: This probably sounds random, so you can say no...but I can drive you around and give you a quick tour before your flight.

Heidi: Sure, lets do it.

So we go to my place and get my car, and we spend the next couple hours driving around seeing sites. It was real relaxed and no awkward silences. She made some sexual jokes (e.g, I said when you get your bags you can put them in the trunk, and she said "thats what she said." She said "penis" and "tits" and "vagina" at various times - all in a joking manner) and asked me personal questions like "do you live alone? you sure your not married? etc" I start thinking she is D2F. I start strategizing how to get to my place. Her phone dies and I didn't have a UBS port in my car. Plus we are getting hungry. I said "let's go back to my place, you can charge your phone there while we get food." She said "great plan."

I'm thinking her flight isn't until midnight, so after we finish dinner we'll be tired and have time to kill, so I'll suggest we watch a movie/TV then I escalate.

So we get to my place, she plugs her phone in, I take out the garbage and stuff. I come back in, and she says she got a text, her flight was moved back to 9pm. There isn't time for dinner, and my plan goes out the window. So I throw a hail Mary. After a few minutes of chit chat, I hug her then start kissing her neck and cheek. She was going along with it, but when I went to kiss her mouth, she pulled away. I kind of get it. It would have felt slutty for her to just jump in, and I didn't have time to work out an escalation routine.

She said she didn't blame me for trying. So it was all cool. It didn't feel awkward or anything on the way to the airport. In fact we joked about Asian asses and titties on the way.

I dropped her off. She gave me a hug and ground her crotch into mine and kissed my lips. She said she might be back in April and we should spend more time exploring the area.

That was it. She is 27, and looks like an Asian Miley Cyrus. I told her that, and she says she hears that all the time.

Take care of those titties for me.

RE: The Approach Thread
Went to CVS last night after work to get my passport photos taken.

Saw this cute, blonde, green eyed girl walk in and pass by me while the photo was being taken.

I had to wait a few minutes for the photos to print so I went to walk around the store and see if I could find the girl. I saw her at the magazine isle but hesitated a bit and just walked past her and went back to pick up my photos. Paid and said fuck it. What's the worst she can say?

So I went up to her...

Me: Hey, I gotta go but I just wanted to come by and talk to you. (I actually had to go, got toastmasters meetings on Mondays)
Her: Hi
Me: Saw you pass by and couldn't help but notice how green your eyes are.
Her: (blushes and giggles uncontrollably) thanks!
Me: what's your name?
Her: Laura, yours?
Me: RX2
Me: So you come to the store to just read magazines?
Her: Oh no haha I'm picking up something from the pharmacy so I'm just waiting here.
Me: Cool, well I just had my passport photos taken.
Her: Oh, nice, traveling?
Me: Oh, no, I'm going through the naturalization process to become a US citizen.
Her: Pain in the ass huh?
Me: Hell yes
Me: Well, I gotta go (as I look at my watch) let's grab a drink some time. What's your number? (as I hand her my phone)
Her: (giggles) um....uh....I'm actually with someone right now
Me: I'm not jealous, you know?

Keeps giggling, I couldn't help but notice how nervous she was, to think I hesitated, she seemed more nervous than me.

Her: But...I'm loyal.
Me: Alright, cool, take care.

And walked away. I think I should've just said, so what's your number? and keep quiet. She seemed to really want to put her number in. I might've just pulled out too soon. Proud nonetheless, this was my first direct approach at a store during the day. Wasn't bad at all.

good to identify and point out that you may have used a slightly different final maneuver to get the number (just in case).....

And, Yeah, sometimes, it could pay off to be that guy fresh in in the girl's mind when she has an unexpected falling out with a guy that she is "loyal" to.

Loyalty is all relative, and you will find girls using those kinds of "good girl" characterizations, but frequently, these girls may NOT really be clear about the meaning of the words that they are using in the moment. They are just programed to say them.. like little hamster robots.... hehehe... Smile Smile

RE: The Approach Thread
I executed a couple coffee shop day approaches on Friday afternoon. Here's what happened.

I went to Kahwa Cafe on Mont Royal, got an Americano and sat down on a rocking chair at the back. In an armchair across from me there was a cute hipster chick in blue stockings and a funky dress playing with her smartphone. As I sat down she looked at me. "Hi" I said. "Hi" she said and went back to her phone. I didn't bother her until she went to the bathroom, came back, and started packing up to leave.

I asked, "Are you leaving? I'd like to take that chair if you are."
"Yes I am. You can have it."
"It looks comfortable"
"It is." And she started looking for a pen she dropped on the floor. I pursued the convo further but it went nowhere and she left with a goodbye that felt a little snippy. The convo felt forced, but I had to get warmed up.

I took the chair and there was a table next to me with a group of four people on laptops doing school work. Three of them left leaving one girl on her own. I leaned over said, "Excuse me, I'm new in town. Do you know of any good places to go out to at night? Something with live music?"

This turned out to be an excellent opener. She told me about this place called L'escalier and we had a short convo about living in Montreal. Turns out she is from France and has been living here 1.5 years. It was a nice talk, but she went back to working on her laptop and popped some headphones in her ears, so I didn't pursue any further realizing that it would have been forced. I drank my coffee and read my book.

This must have worked because when she got up to leave 10 minutes later she touched me on the shoulder, smiled and said bye to me. Very warm and friendly. She is European, however, and Europeans are touchier than North Americans so I cant say if this was a genuine flirt or not. At any rate, I didn't get a number, so they best I can say is that it was practice and I also learned a valuable opener. The "I'm new in town" line really works.

I changed my POF pics and started getting approached. Cougars sending me openers and shit ("hi" and "you should drop me a line"). It feels weird but nice being opened.

In this post I talked about drinking with the 4 regional bosses and other upper managers yesterday after a company event. We all got drunk (or at least I did). In the process a manager that works in my office next to me puts her hand on my legs and I acted as if nothing happened. Then she took her hand off. Later on she bought me drinks. As much as I wanted to fuck her, I was confused on how to react but did thank her for the drinks. Everyone was there outside, clear tables, coworkers around us. Before leaving she hugged me, actually she gave me another hug before we started drinking.

Did I do well here?

I wanted the bang but didn't want to get on the wrong side of the bosses by shitting where I eat, especially being there less than a month.


I think you played it well. Others will differ, I would never nail a woman above me in the chain of command just because we were out drinking somewhere.

RE: The Approach Thread
This one is a bit different. Interesting reactions to my texts a day after the approach.

Approach #9

Approached her on the train in the corner, after sitting still for a few minutes, bored, while she was was focused on some writing.

'excuse me, is that hard work you are doing?'
'what?'
'you look very focused'
'oh, yeah I'm finishing up this nutrition assignment, I have to monitor my diet'
'you aren't in course xx are you? I took that course when I was in first year'
'yeah, are you in xx program too?
'yea, I remember how ...'

She was interested in conversation, and she asked me quite a bit and had some to share. I threw bait mentioning I was travelling this past summer and she asked about it intently. It was going well, and she had a shy way about her, I just felt it, so I knew I had to do more of the conversation. She was pitching in a lot though and we vibed pretty well on European travelling conversation. She's Polish and I got a very feminine vibe from her.

At the end when my stop was coming up, I told her she seemed cool and we should hang out sometime. I think she said sure, but her demeanour changed a bit, as if she didn't expect me to make a move. She froze up for a second, I pulled out my phone 'here I'll take your number.'

She put it in for me, although it seemed like she regretted doing it. Good interactions for me are good before and after the number exchange, this was only good before. I said it was nice to meet you regardless and shook her hand.

This is where it gets a bit more interesting. I text her the next day in the evening (a few minutes ago):

'hey anna it's nascimento. how are you'
'hi sorry you surprised me when you asked for my number. i have a bf of two years so i hope you didn't have the intentions to do anything with me'
'its complicated' (my intention was to just come off vague, see how she takes it)
'no its not. i'm in love with my bf and if you're looking for anything i'm not your girl. good luck though. it was nice meeting you.'
'...' (I wanted to see how far I could push her buttons)
'im not going to message you again cause it's clear what your intentions were and i'm not interested. bye.'

I'm surprised by how much she put into these text exchanges. The amount of words I used in 3 messages were less than half she used in any of her 3 messages.

Maybe she liked me up to the point I asked for her number, when she remembered she's in a committed relationship and her hamster kicked in? I mean I've worked up girls over text in the past sometimes with or without intention, but never this easy without actually attempting to, hah.

RE: The Approach Thread
From Stockholm Sweden:
Well gents, a bit drunk and sadly without a girl, but still happy with my performance.
Tonight for the first time ever I went out and was an approach machine. I can attibute this to inspiration from Courage Reborn. Met this guy last night and learned quite a bit from him in the few hours I spent with him.
Approached probably 15 different girls. Had some really solid leads in the beginning of the night, but unfortunately I couldn't keep my energy up with these girls. They were all about the dance party and I would have had to have been on for 5 hours straight to succeed. The main girl I was going after (hb8) was down for an after party with me and my buddy at 12, but by the time 2 rolled around the tables had completely turned.
Between around 12 and 230 I talked to several 6s and 7s and one of the groups even suggested going back to their place and drinking, but I was too caught up with the 8 to take them up. Now I'm sitting here thinking back on Rooshs principle of taking the sure thing and wishing that I had followed that advice.

In any case, I've learned a lot from tonight. I don't feel disappointed but rather more motivated to succeed the next time. Each failure is a learning experience.

I find my natural energy level is around a 2.5 on a scale of 1-5. I can bring it up to a 4 or 5 for a short burst (maybe 30 minutes) but it just doesn't last with these super high energy girls.
I think that means I need to reexamine my night game venue choices so that I can optimize my energy level with the crowd.

Anyways, happy Wednesday. To you guys

I love how you casually dropped the Roissey text material for the fuck of it.

My first thought: She sure is investing a lot of texting into a guy who she doesn't want anything to do with. I'd keep going.

RU saying that you would play this angle for a while b/c you may win her over? Though it may be a big waste of time... the girl is writing long texts and really can't help herself from doing it... just like I couldn't help myself in responding to this post. hehehe Smile But probably it is a big waste of time to pursue me, b/c I'm NOT gonna bang you... he hehe.... (no homo)

Yeah haha. I'm always looking for excuses to drop CH material on my texts. I follow Roosh's Bang model for date setups which has been working for me, but if a girl strays from what makes that work I always drop 'its complicated' and 'littlespoons don't make the rules' texts.

Anyways, it probably takes a certain way to proceed from her attempt to close our conversation, a way I'm not familiar with. I mean, I could always pull off some nuclear text 'slut' or 'organize a 3 some i can host' to get a response despite her saying it was her last text to me. But even then the chance of succeeding is probably so slim to what amount of work it takes that I might as well just next her and approach some other girl.

Also, that type of asshole game is not congruent with how I approached her during the day so I can't see it going over well. Asshole game over text only gets positive responses from me if I met her during night game.
