"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

welcome to my world
When I first started an approach journal, my point was to get over my fears of approaching. I even managed to get a bunch of phone numbers, but realized that getting the number, is not the point; process, not outcome. Short story, I did set up a few dates back then, but backed out of them due to fear…because up until a couple months ago, I hadn’t made out with or sexed a girl. So, I was somewhat nervous about going on a date, and didn’t.

Since I've started making out with a couple girls and screwing them, etc, I am a lot more comfortable with women in general. And I would like to give daytime cold approaches a second shot.

Reflecting on my recent experiences with club sluts, as well as discussing with another board member, I realized that bars/clubs are not great places to meet quality women. Also, I would like to find a decent girl or **** buddy as a steady sexual partner, and get ass on a regular basis, not once a week or once every two/three weeks.

Another reason I feel a bit more comfortable trying to start approaches again is because I’ll most probably be transferring to another school next semester, so even if my reputation does get flawed, it won’t really matter, because I won’t be here in the long-run to deal with it.

Lately, I’d read a bunch of threads questioning the effectiveness of cold approaches. I never really replied to many of those, because I couldn’t exactly back it up with evidence. I never kissed or laid a girl off of a cold approach…and none of the ones in my last journal panned to anything.

Therefore, my primary reason for doing another “journal” is to once and for all prove to myself that I can lay a girl off of a cold approach, or to prove to myself that they are pointless. Deep down, I am hoping I can prove they are not pointless…it’s basically an unsettled question that I need to settle for myself, and hopefully it will also a good read for others as well.

* Note: there seems to be differing opinions of what exactly a cold approach is. In my opinion, a cold approach is basically approaching a girl you don’t know because you want to **** her. Making eye contact and smiling before you approach does not refute the fact that it was a cold approach. If you approach without sexual intentions, it was not a cold approach…and if you approach, then lose interest and do not attempt to close, it is still considered an approach.

The rest of my posts will not be nearly as long as this one. I will update this thread as often as I approach...which should be often because regardless of how fearless I am now, like anyone else, I get rusty after not approaching for a while; and when I’m rusty I’ll botch approaches completely.
 

"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.

I'll be interested in reading your journal, h20. I don't think I was the board member you were referring to, but it's good to see you are moving away from the bar/club sluts. You are operating in one of the most difficult markets (DC metro) so good luck to you and, if successful, you've proven it can be done anywhere!

Defenetly looking forward to this, I've only been able if I catch them looking or smiling at me. Otherwise I wouldn't know how to catch their attention.

I'm basically in the same boat man. All the girls that I've fooled around with have been girls that I've had some sort of rapport with. But you know, I have MUCH better luck talking to girls and getting them interested during the day, than I do at night. I think you might find the same thing eventually.
