So I left day game alone for 2 1/5 months, simply didn't have the time to spend hours in a day entertaining chicks due university.

However I'm back on the scene now and after a few days out there I feel useless, in the past before my break I'd leave with 5 numbers on average... (this was 3 months progress) now just stopping the girl is an issue. I could immediately sense that my tone, body language and confidence had quickly deflated.

Can anyone relate?
Appreciate all replies

My best advice would be to give it some time, make note of what you need to improve, implement the changes and keep approaching

It's been well documented on this very forum when you take any significant time off your approach muscles can atrophy

It's the weirdest thing. At one point I was at a solid 13-15 pull-ups with no problem. Then I took a couple weeks off. I had trouble doing just 5!

I figured it was just a temporary fatigue but it actually seemed like I was starting from the very beginning. But I kept working on it and eventually was back up to old numbers and even higher (maxing at 22).

Sometimes you just end up starting over but occasionally taking 3 steps back lets you take 5 steps forward. As long as you don't give up you'll keep improving.

I was very busy with the last semester of my final year of university, so I did zero day game and only night game one night a week with a big group of boys while drunk (so I have the crutch of alcohol PLUS the crutch of having my boys to fall back on and give me situational confidence).
I used to go to bars alone and sober and I MUCH preferred it, but now that I had taken about 2 months off from doing that all of my old feelings are coming back. Feeling tense, uneasy, like everyone is watching me, like I look like a loser. It sucks but I know I need to just smash through it full-force.

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, I think experiences like this will ultimately make our game stronger - provided you push through the shitty awkward part.
