Coverdoc here, making this thread as I'm internally feeling my game is slowly regressing and approach anxiety is starting to settle back in. This is more of a journal for myself, but others are welcome to chime in of course.

I consider my game level intermediate and looks average at best, but bitches tend to think i'm handsome. I'm making this to also fight against the urge of using online dating again. It was easy and fun at times, but hurt my day game significantly over time. I'm going to focus mainly on posting day game with some mild solo night game thrown in. I like to describe things in detail, it evokes more memories and emotions for when I read later.

Goals:
1. Completely rid myself of approach anxiety.
2. Become comfortable solo approaching day time sets.
3. Become comfortable going out and gaming solo.
4. Become better at approaching instantly and not waiting for the "right moment."
5. Approach more 7s+
6. Have fucking fun gaming!

Good quote from Giovonny to get myself started:
"The "best place" is not the place where YOU feel comfortable.

The "best place" is the place where ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS ARE!

Expand YOUR skill set so that you can talk to pretty girls anywhere and everywhere.

Waiting for the perfect situation is passive and docile.

Be more aggressive about enlarging your comfort zone instead of waiting for girls to randomly enter into your ideal.

Just try. "

Without further adieu.

1. Black chick, 5 in face, 7 body ~6.5 total?:
-Was in the gym after a shitty day, went for a evening run, which I never do. Went to treadmill and noticed a black chick with the nicest ass i've seen in awhile on the elliptical. I run for a little and see she stops and starts walking around the track that passes by me. I get off and time myself to approach her on the next run(waiting for that right moment problem). Of course she leaves with her friend to weights downstairs, I follow and make eye contact with her as i'm lifting. I grab water and wait for them to leave. They do and I follow behind and open them both
Me: Did you guys have a good work out
Them: Yes we did, how about you.
Me: Not really
them: (Laugh together)
My target: Why not?
Me: long story, what program you guys in?
My target: blah blah blah
Me: blah bah blah
They laugh at most of my jokes and I focus more on my target, her friend is chill, but I feel the awkwardness. My target is a little feisty, but that ass keeps me there. I throw out some asshole game calling her 28, she's 20, she walks off but her friend stays so she comes back. I give them some organic chemistry tips, and close my target with "Hey you have IG" She says yeah and adds me, likes some of my pics and I tell her i'll DM her.
We part ways, and I message her on IG a few minutes later, inviting her out for cheap tacos/sushi this week. She says "sure, where?" and drops her number.

(introspection) Could have probably not waited to approach downstairs at the weights, or up stairs while she was walking around. Also instagram closing was kind of weak, but with her awkward friend there seemed like the most appropriate thing to do. I'd give my game on this one 6.5/10.

Following this article. I hope i will start to approach after i get rid of my fear (/thread-57989.html)

Post: #3

@Euphoria Already checked out that thread when it was first created, but thanks bro.

Have been really iffy about approaches the past day or two as I realized i'm approaching fucking 5-6s. This city i'm stuck in is saturated with them. I could drive 3 hours to the major city, but that eventually eats up my weekend time, gas money and hotel stay as my best friend's place is currently occupied by his soon to be "baby mama." Sigh

2. Went to grab some sushi and noticed this basic slim hipster brunnett who works there that I saw out before: ~5 at best. She seats me and I open her:
Me: Hey I think I saw you out before
Her: Yeah I totally remember you, crazy night.
Me: Wouldn't remember I was drunk out of my mind.
Her: haha yeah you have to be drunk to party in this city
Me: You were wasted too huh?
Her: blah blah blah
At this point I realize i'm actually sitting here gaming a fucking 5. I cut the convo short and say thanks for the menu.
(introspection) Could have probably closed, but it's not up to me to lower my standards just yet, although the pull from yesterday face was meh, her booty was killer. Still was feeling like she was not worth it and my dick always wins in the end.

3. Went to starbucks to get some studying done: i.e See if any bitches in there I could game. Notice this slim persian chick ~average 6. I had a quick convo with her before. She is leaving so I go to open her since it's slim pickings inside the cafe.
Me: hey you're in the dental field right.
Her: Hey, how are you? Yeah I am (bitch starts to walk off)
Me: Well I need a crown put in, you can hook me up?
Her: haha no i'm not an expert in that area but cost are blah blah blah
Me: blah blah
Her: (still looks like she is trying to leave), well that guy is a dentist in there you should ask him.
She starts to walk off as I ask her another question so I just let it go, no point in making convo with another basic looking bitch.
(introspection) Could have probably emitted stronger frame at the initiation of the convo, but she seemed like she had somewhere to be(Don't they all). Indirect opener was kind of weak, should contemplate using direct openers on basic bitches in a rush.

4. Go to grocery store after leaving starbucks because i'm bored and seeing if I can score a late night pull before heading back to campus. As i'm walking in I see this cute blonde 7 in a mini skirt walking in behind me at a distance. I try to time it so we cross paths, but she goes one way I go the other. I then spend 5 minutes looking for her around the store. See her and freeze up telling myself she saw me looking for her and other beta shit guys tell themselves as not to appraoch! WTF. She walks past and exits the store.
(introspection) I was complaining to myself all day about how i'm surrounded by basic bitches on campus and off, see a decent chick solo and catch the "iceman" as my friend calls it. Damn I have to shake this rust off, I know my game is better than this. Always tomorrow for improvement. Need to really break this beta habit of waiting to create the perfect moment, it's given me a few great pulls in the past, but I can almost guarantee I've missed out on 2-3/4th of potential pulls waiting for the "right moment." Will need to work on just opening at that moment instead of the perceived right moment.

Self food for thought: Been doing some thinking about how much of my actual free time is spent on bitches(looking for them, gaming them etc). Way too much. I am definitely violating the cardinal rule of never go out of your way to meet bitches, but it's like i'm never satisfied, even though my current LTR is an 8. Once I pull a new chick the thrill is gone quickly after. I'm going to try to sit down and do what I need to do and wait for the bitches to come by and pounce when ready. Nothing quenches that urge to game, except for gaming. Guess i'm an addict

5. Saw nursing chick who lives in my building in the cafeteria. Hispanic or mixed chick (6.5). She's sitting with her nursing student buddies in the cafeteria, but i approach anyway.
Me: Hey Malakai(I call girls guy names sometimes to be an ass)
Her: Hey what's up, how's your day?
Me: Boring, why are you eating corn from a cup?
Her: blah blah blah
Me; blah blah blah
At this point, i notice that her beta ass guy classmates are eavesdropping hard and that social circle vibe is encroaching. I notice one of her classmates is this hotbody blonde 7 with a nice ass I noticed a few weeks back. My target then doesn't look so hot and is giving me weird christian vibes so I start to lose interest.
Me: What are your plans this weekend, anything exciting?
Her: Not really, just going back home. You?
Me: Nothing much, but I have to go, TTYL.
Realized she wasn't really worth gaming at that moment, small town mentality around campus makes these bitches self conscious about getting hit on around their crew. Plus her Blonde classmate I really really want so I figured better to keep it cool and approach her classmate next time I see her with the line "Hey aren't you X's classmate, I saw you at lunch"
(introspection) Liked how I went over to her table even though her classmates were swarming around her. I could have probably done more to engage the group, especially after noticing the hot blonde.

6. Woke up late from afternoon nap for this symposium and forgot my keys so had to run back into my dorm. As I'm walking back in, I see this hispanic girl (6) i've been wanting to spit to for a few weeks now walking a few feet in front of me.
Me: Pssst psst ay Chica
Her: (Turns arounds) Heyyyyy, what's up? (Turns back around to keep walking)
At this point I was like fuck it, then she just turns around again haha
Her: You just getting done for today?
Me: Yeah, but i'm running late for this conference. What are you up to?
Her: Nothing exciting, about to go play soccer.
I get closer to her at this point and once again, she's basic, but looked better from far away. We make small talk and for some reason I wasn't in the mood to talk all day.
Her: Yeah I plan on going to the city thi....
Me: (cut her off) You want to grab some dinner next week?
Her: Oh yeahhhh sure, what day?
At this point didn't care if I got number or not, so hit her with the
Me:First, are you buying?
Her: Hahaha are you buying dinner for me?
Me: (put my hands in a camera motion, like i'm surveying her) Mmmmmmm nope!
Me: We'll let me know if you change your mind/
Losing interest and was running late
Her: Wait do you have my number?
Me: yeah
Her: Shut up lol, no you don't. I'll give it to you.
Pass her my phone and get the digits. Text her my number and she responds immediate. I won't be hitting her up for dinner but if she text me AND i'm literally doing nothing, i'll pounce.
(introspection) I really need to start surveying these girls closer or just cancel the convo if i'm not feeling it. I like to think my standards are high for a reason. Game wise I liked how I just asked her right out to dinner instead of beating around the bush. There was a 10 second pause when she was deciding what day, kind of killed the momentum slightly. I need to lead more, but glad with this approach as I definitely felt the day game rust coming off a little.

7. I finally make it to conference and end up getting into a debate with 4 SJW feminist, may make a thread about it in EE section. I leave conference and go upstairs to see another conference that's offering free pizza. I go in and it's about accounting so I grab some pizza and sit down. It's a smaller space so everyone notices me as I'm dressed pretty well in a shirt/awesome tie. My boy calls me so i step out to take the call, as I leave I notice a hot body white chick, brunette 7 with great butt in heels and short dress walking into conference room. I go back in and she gives speech about being a senior and networking benefits blah blah blah. We make eye contact a few times during her speech and I smile and raise my eyebrows as I know it relaxes people when speaking and fixates them more on you. I go over to her table after the conference is over and first approach her professor.
Me: Hey sir, this was a great conference, I learned a lot.
Him: No problem son, glad you enjoyed it, what program are you in?
Me: blah blah blah
I notice her looking at me smiling so now I fixate my attention on her
Me: Hey great speech, you're in that speaking club(Toast masters)?
Her: *perks up quick and comes over to me* Hey yeah thanks a lot, I totally am, are you familiar with it?
Me: Yeah I am, i've completed my 10 speeches a while back
Her: No way, really?!!
Me: Yup, my sis was president of one of the clubs so I was forced to sign up
Her: hahaha blah blah blah
Me: blah blah blah
Her: Here take my business card and let me know if you have any questions.
At this point(I say this phrase too much) We are vibing and then some accounting professor comes over and interrupts us to talk with me. He takes forever and she is just standing there then leaves after 1 minute of waiting to go talk to other professors near the door. I'm like wow thanks fat man. I grab my bag and head for the door, she turns around and says "Hey was nice meeting you" I decide to wait in hallway for her to come out and game more. She comes out solo like 4 minutes later as i'm taking picture of flyer on bulletin board.
Me: Hey, great speech right?
Her: haha yeah glad it's over, I was super nervous.
Me: Yeah I bet, that's how that shit is sometimes.
We make small talk about public speaking, spanish and school. She parked near me so I utilize this time to get to know her more. Body language is good and I do the few physical arm touches with some witty banter.
Me: You have any exciting plans this weekend?
Her: No, trying not to drink, i have midterms on Tuesday.
Me: Cool cool, we'll nice meeting you, see you around.
Her: Yeah cool same, bye.
She turns around to walk off and I think (fuck that you need to close this properly)
Me:Hey you wouldn't want to grab some coffee sometime?
Her:(turns around with big smile) Yeah I actually would. You seem really really cool, you want my number?
Me: Yup, put it in my phone (hand her my iphone 7)
Her: Here I put my first and last name, it's habit.
Me: Wow look at this fucking grandma over here (smirks)
Her: hahaha don't say that, i'm just used to being professional.
Me: yeah yeah what ever grandma i'm changing that shit. Oh no dinner for us
Her: Yeah that's cool because i'm not looking for anything serious as I'm leaving at the end of the year
Me: Hey perfect, same over here
Her: Perfect haha, text me.
I send her my number and we part ways. By the time I get home, I have a message from her saying "So good meeting you! Love your name and I have a feeling we are going to be great friends (in the most non creepy way possible)" I shoot the shit for a few messages and tell her good luck on her exam and end convo.
(introspection) Definitely happy with this approach, I didn't really go out of my way to look for her, received free dinner and learned more about the accounting field. I feel that my frame was good here as I was happy to finally be gaming a hard 7 in heels after a few weeks of being surrounded by 4s,5s,and 6s. Convo flowed well and I was definitely more on my game because of the earlier approaches. I can improve on my closing and the coffee line should and will definitely be replaced with drinks instead. Drinks would have added more to my i'm not trying to be your friend vibe. I had luck on my side as she left the conference alone, but I don't like that leaving it up to chance. In the future I need to get better at ending the indirect and sometimes direct cock blockers. She seems promising, but we'll see. As my older brother says "Only after you've received 5 numbers in one day, have you actually pulled a bitch for the day."

Self food for thought: I realized I'm thinking more than I need to for initial approaches. I'm going to try to utilize the "within 3 second rule" from now on. I want to get better at group approaches as it's getting colder and these sluts tend to run in packs more now.

Hey, you're doing good on the effort but you seem to be trying to be too much of a bad ass. Ease off once she's interested.

Are you having fun? You should be having fun in the interactions, and she should be able to feel that. Think "more fun, I'm having fun, I'm self amusing, here girl, you seem cool enough, so let me get you in on my inside joke" and your vibe will improve.

Nice one bro. Almost makes me want to try day gaming!

Post: #7

Went out Friday night and made like 10 approaches. I don't count these because A. I was intoxicated and alcohol releases inhibitions. B. I'm focusing on improving my day game as I see finer women when i'm out during the day.

Saturday volunteered to help those affected by the hurricane so that day was gone.

8. Was at apple store getting iphone 7 replaced (Go steve jobs!) and my friends were waiting on me. Get approached by this early 30s black chick with killer body. Opens me about my hair and my style. I'm not interested, but she is super cool so pass her off to one of my boys and we are all standing around waiting and my boy says, man that employee is cute, go talk to her. I instantly approach. Day gaming everyday really inhibits lots of inhibitions.
She was 7.5 hispanic or light skin black chick. Really nice face with a slim waste and nice petite butt in grey dress. Of course surrounded by her colleagues of hipsters and femmys.
Me: Hey what school do you go to?
Her: (smiles) I go to XY why?
She looks back and see my loser ass friends(and early 30s chick) looking at us smiling. Can see she starts to feel self conscious
Me: Well thought you looked familiar and went to my university, (give her a high 5)
Her:Haha which one is that
Me: XZ, actually I can tell you XY.
Her: Why do you say that? (says in angry tone)
Me: Because you have artistic look, relax trump
For some reason vibe just went down. Guess she was self conscious about her school
Her: Okay thanks have a good day
*Next*
(Introspection) I liked this because I definitely noticed a decrease in approach anxiety in groups, guess it's because of the more active day game i'm doing. Probably could have steered away from asshole comments until I build more rapport.

9. Was at doctor's office and this cute brunette 6.5-7 white chick walks in and sits one seat away from me. I hesitate on the approach and get called back. Doctor tells me to wait for her to do some other stuff so I go back out and sit in my same seat. Think 3 second rule and open.
Me: Wow, I was going to wear that exact same thing today *smirks
Her: Haha really, the tie die sandals too?
Me: Nope, that was last weeks style, i'm onto red dingy Tom's at the moment.
Her: Hahaha.
Me: So what do you do work school or both?
Her: I'm in school for ultrasound technology
Me: no way ultrasound, that seems hard. What is that?
Her: It's when you use a machine to....Wait you're fucking with me aren't you? haha
Me:haha yeah I am, you have IG add me and don't stalk me.
Her: haha okay.
From there we spend like 10 minutes going through each other's pictures and her showing me pinterest. All the while her boyfriend is blowing her up saying shit like "I miss you" and "I love you baby." A few times while I was holding her phone. I push forward anyway because.... No me importa. I get called back to doc's office. When I come back out I give her high five and leave as she seemed to be in love. She then messages me on IG and says I should come back and schedule follow up appointment as they get booked soon. I come back in and go to front desk to get card and go back over to her.
Me: Thanks for that save, would have been waiting months (not really, I flirt with the old fat clerk every time to get suckers booted out of their time slots and myself added in)
Her: No worries haha
Me: You want to grab some breakfast after this?
Her: Ohhhh nooo sorry thanks.
*Next*
(Introspection) I cut a lot out, but she was hard to crack at first, semi friendly but not really talkative. Begin to open up more towards the end. Think her constant boyfriend messages kept my charm for enticing her. Not sure how I could have improved on this one. Game was solid, energy was there, can't catch them All.

10. Go to car place and spit some platonic game to mid 30s cashier, she hooks me up on the tires and I walk out to grab my backpack as I wait in lobby. I'm coming back in and see 6 mix chick smoking a cigarette. Doesn't have much of a body, but I'm trying to keep momentum going so I open
Me: Hey cigarettes are bad for your health, should drink some overpriced bottle water instead.
Her: Haha yeah I know right, i just quit last week too.
Me: haha yeah yeah don't you all. See you inside.
She comes inside 1 minute later and sit a seat away from me.
Me: You driving that Ferrari out there?
Her: Haha not this time, it's just a Hyundai, i used to have blah blah blah
Me; Cool cool, you don't sound like you're from the south. Where are you from?
Her: Really? I grew up here, but went to private school, everyone tells me I sound like i'm from up north.
Me: Nope, they were lying, i'd put you out west.
Her: haha blah blah blah
Me: blah blah blah
Employee: Mame your car is ready.
She waits around for a few minutes when her car pulls up, probably waiting for me to close her. I don't really want to, the goal is to get 7s and 6s with nobody are just practice rounds for me.
Her: Well see you around take care.
Me: All righty
(introspection) I like how the more approaching you do earlier in the day whether good or bad results gives you more momentum for the next approach. She was prime example of that. Felt natural and normal at this point. I'll keep striking up convos with random basic chicks to keep my game tight for the 7+ chicas i'm sure i'll eventually run into. Definitely could improve more on body language. I was sitting in chair and lazy, think she didn't care, but a cuter chick might notice the "sloppy" frame haha.

Self food for thought: Took Polar's advice and reminded myself of why I game and for it to be fun. Now i'm just enjoying just talking with women of all kinds even if I don't intend on closing. Exams coming up next week, so hopefully I can close a few more chicas before my dedicated study time.

Post: #8

Haven't really been making too many approaches lately with exams then getting shit faced afterwards with dates lined up from previous leads that went cold.

I spent the weekend fucking 3 different girls so between that and catching up with friends no real time to approach. To offset that I did some platonic openers to older ladies, workers etc. I did have two oppurtunities which I fucked up on being hungover and literally status post two fuck sessions a couple hours prior.

11. Went to Chipotle with my boy and was sitting down eating. I just struck up conversation with this 5 mediocre white chick in line to get my platonic opener in for that day. She told me rather quickly how she was hooked on drugs in the past and shit. I'm like great story to go with my guacamole. She leaves and I give her a wave bye. As we are eating this 6.5 asian chick walks in to order. My boy says I should approach her as she is leaving, but that's not my style to stop a bitch walking fast. Of course she leaves, but then comes back in to grab some shit and he's like wow here is your chance. I really didn't want to, but figured fuck it might as well.
Me: Do you actually work out or is that gear all for show?
Her: Hahaha wow, I actually do work out. Why did you think it was for show?
Me: Because you live in this fancy area, most people here only work out for show. What do you do?
Her: Haha i'm not for show. I'm a biomedical engineering student.
Me: Wow that sounds hard, you are probably smart do you go to X
Her: Haha yeah I do
Me: Yeah I could tell, you guys are weird as fuck *grin*
Her: hahaha you are crazy.
At this point the interaction is going well, but she weirdly stops infront of the bathroom and in my hungover state this threw me off, couldn't tell if she was waiting on somebody (even though I saw her walk in alone--*blame the alcohol) or she had to use restroom. I decide i don't really care and say
Me: well nice chatting with you (give her the high five close)
Her:Wow haha. I get the high 5.
(introspection) I like how over the last 2 weeks or so my approach anxiety has diminished drastically. I think it's due to talking to all types of people where ever I go. It keeps me on my toes. I don't like how being hungover affected my game that much. Also I'm realizing my indirect day game approach is cool, but not beneficial during times of time constraint like her standing in front of bathroom. I need to and will work on transitioning over more quickly to direct closers. I also notice my enthusiasm to game goes down the next day a little, after fucking a new chick. Will keep that in mind for the future.

12.Went to Panera bread to see if I could grab a warm quality meal to offset this drinking binge. This 7 hispanic of brown chick in skin tight black dress and heels walks in and orders while i'm waiting for my food. They call my order and I walk passed her.
Me: Hey I was going to wear those exact same shoes today
Her: Big smile(teeth kind of fucked lol) haha wow now were you now really
Me: Yeah for sure,
Her:Haha (big smile)
(Introspection)I could have/should have pushed it further by asking "where are you from, I notice an accent."(bitches love this, love feeling like they are exotic.) Then I should have asked if she was eating in here and wanted to join me. I didn't say shit, just grabbed my food. I went back up to get a refill and noticed her look over at me. I'm glad my initial AA(approach anxiety) is almost at zero now with women, now I just need to follow through with more direct game when I'm time constrained.

13. Was out with a new lead and was almost certain she was going to fuck. My game was tight Saturday night and I could tell in her eyes she was falling hard. She goes to bathroom and this cute 6.5 hispanic/white looking chick comes up to next to me at the bar to order a drink. I figure why not since I have 1 min of time to kill, plus will make me look higher status to my date if she is on the fence about fucking.
Me: Hey, (touch the top of her shoulder) I saw you over here and wanted to buy you a drink, do you mind?
Her: Hey, no I don't mind
Me: Wow failed that fucking test *grin*
Her: hahaha what?
Me: Was going to let me buy you a drink didn't even ask a guy's name or anything, Mmmm Mmmm mmm (shakes head and grins)
Her: Hahaha no wait I was, well I can get my own drink, since it's for my friend anyway. You are kind of crazy
Me: Yeah everyone tells me, so where are you from, you have a different look to you
Her: wow you can tell, i'm actually from Spain
Me: Ohhh hablas espanol
Her: haha un poco
Me: Get the fuck out of here, you don't speak no spansish haha
Her: hahahaha you are so crazy, my family is from there at least. What's your sign?
At this point my date comes back and is standing to my right pretending she isn't fazed. (Yeah right, I see you). I continue my convo with "spanish" chick
Me: You mean like that astronomy bull shit, you are acting really sketch right now *grin*
Her: Nooo haha tell me I want to know
Me: Mmmm I was born in june,
Her: Oh so you're a taurus(WTF) we get along i'm a (don't remember lol).
At this point I can see my date is about to blow her shit.
Me: Well I'm here with my sister, where are you going to be later
Her: I'm going to be with my friends, we are going to be moving all over the club if you want to find us.
Me: yeah I'll come look for you later (High five her, grab my drink and tap my date to come follow me)
(Introspection) I like this opener as I was able to neg her a bit and she responded well. I'm sure 1/3 of chicks wouldn't have liked me saying i'll buy you a drink then saying no fucking way, but what ever. I could have number closed her or even got the bang, but I learned from previous mistakes never forsake for sure pussy for maybe pussy so I let the bitch go. I'm sure if I even attempted to get her IG or phone number my date wouldn't have done what she did later in my back seat haha

Self food for thought: Happy my AA is almost nil, not happy with not being able to transition over to direct game when i'm in a time constraint. I notice the more chatty I am with more diverse group of people: ex junkie in line at Starbucks, old man walking into building, angry looking 17 year old at fast food joint, it helps my game flow when I'm opening. For this next few approaches i'm going to focus more on some indirect to quickly direct style and see how I like that. It's getting cold outside and a lot of these bitches are in there hail mary pass before cuffing season officially starts on halloween. Will see if I can lock down a few more plates before then.

Very interesting idea, maybe I'll try it!
