"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Day 9 of Week 3

I can speak for both GSP and I when I say that we've got our drive and motivation back. I opened up 2 sets and attempted one more. The first two sets were successful and I got a number close on the second set. I introduced GSP and a friend to both sets and GSP managed a number close on another HB in the 2nd set. The best motivating factor of that night was that 2 people asked how I knew one of the HBs when I barely just met her. The rapport build-up was excellent. Tonight was a blast. My BC count is at 3.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Day 9 Week 3

Today was a blast, we were both able to get passed the initial approach anxiety .All the Sets I tried to open pretty much got shot down in flames, but one of the sets Ashigaru opened I was able to get build some good rapport with an HB7, numbered closed with a time restraint. My BC count is at 4 now.

Day 10, 11, 12, 13 of Week 3

Up to 4 for the BC with a number close on Day 10. Me and GSP tried our day game on Day 12, but failed. We might have to repeat Week 3 for the 2nd time.

Day 14 and 15 Week 3

We ended up having to extend week 3 because we mainly can only go out on the weekend. Went out on day 14 and did awful, did not even open one set in 3 hours, I was pretty pissed.

Day 15 I did a little better we went out to a club and I just grabed an HB7 and took her to the dance floor. Saw her throughout the night and I did a lot of Kino and I'm pretty sure I could have kissed closed but I didn't.. Also almost finished up my Week 3 BC, I was able to make conversation with 3 HB's and need just 1 more to finish week 3.

Day 14, 15 of Week 3

Day 14 was non-existent, for I did not go out with GSP that night.

Day 15:

Started off the night by showing social proof while mingling with some familar faces. Then continued on a high note by opening a huge set. I should have conintued with them further onto the dance floor, but I didn't hear what they said to me. That one did not count towards my BC since she was probaby a HB4. Outside, I opened up a mixed set with 3 HBs and 1 dude. Chopped it up with two of the HBs for a few minutes. Tried opening another mixed set, although the dude was being a jerk, I used it to talk to an HB next to him. Now at this point it's at 3 for my BC, 7 total. Near the bar, I managed to talk to a tall HB and she gave me a boatload of kino. In the middle of the convo she said I smelled like cigarettes and stopped talking to me. Then I talked to one of her HB friends, but it did not feel like 2 minutes long. Managed to get 8 out of 10 so far for BC.

Although I got 4 for my BC, I felt like the night was a failure. I got through A1 pretty easily, but kept on getting stuck at A2 and never getting to A3. It was so damn frustrating. Instead of improving, I feel like I am in a stagnant position.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Day 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 of Week 3

Week 3 is finally completed. I've also stopped jerking off for 2 weeks and it has definitely made me more aggressive. It's awesome. During the long week 3, I've been on a couple of dates and am building my rapport skills. I am averaging about a date a week. I'm still working on the fcuk close though.

Time for week 4 and time for rejections.
