2/23/12 Update

So yesterday, I went out to lunch with stalker chick from two posts again.  I'm really amping up the sexual conversation and did a little deep rapport by talking about losing our virginities.  Later, she said, "we need to have a serious talk."  Put it off for 20 minutes.  "I'm not looking for anything but friendship.  I am not in a mental state for anything else."  I think she then justified herself by saying, "maybe if I'm drunk...."  I jumped in and said, "That's fine, but I make out with my friends."  She said, "OK, maybe we'll dry hump."  Lol.  Girl is mine, all I need to do is escalate.

Also talked to the chick from sushi and karaoke yesterday.  Called her on the phone in the morning but logistics were all off.  She said she would call me back, but by 10 at night had not.  Big boo-boo in my book.  I get a couple of texts from her (which end up being from the other night).  I respond with "Is that you calling me back?"  She calls 10 to 20 mins later, apparently drunk and on her way to her car, lol.  Anyway, the girl is cool and I'd like to get her in rotation.  Told her that Thursday's no good and asked if she could do Sat instead (I've got a friend's bday dinner to attend).  She said, "I might be going to New York for the weekend."  Lol, wut.  Apparently this girl IS adventurous.  Excellent.

OK brothers, that's it for now.  I've got to work on my day game some more.  Today I saw this hot dancer come in with a group of friends when I was eating lunch.  She was just my type but I did not open.  When I was leaving she was sitting at a table outside.  My opener should've been, "Excuse, but you are so cute.  I just had to come say hello to you."  Ah well.  You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.  I've also been talking to this cute Mexican chick in my office building with a big rack.  I've got to find a way to close that deal.  Now that I think about it, I talk and flirt with every.  Damn.  Girl.  in my office building.  I love flirting and it's definitely something I've improved these last few months.

So yeah, goals are to improv day game, close the two girls I'm working on and get them into rotation ASAP.  Manana hang with an old friend in the city.  Perhaps I'll get some numbers.

One last thing.  Went out Fat Tuesday.  Opened tons of sets.  At one point I used the perfect opener at a seated two-set:  "Can I take this seat?"  "Sure."  Sit.  Set went well.  I number closed some chick, but don't think I'll call her.  It was end of the night close and I was a little wasted.  Tonight it's early bed for me.

Pre-Game, Some Random Thoughts

About to go out tonight and I wanted to get some thoughts down.

Currently I am working on upping my physical escalation game.  I feel as though I've had great sets the past two weeks and really could have gone for kiss-closes but didn't.  I am doing great at opening sets, building rapport, disarming obstacles and making groups out of strangers.  What I need to work on is physical escalation and isolation.

Another thing I've been going over in my head is eliminating or at least seriously reducing alcohol from my game. It's expensive, makes you more tired in the morning, and can really put a hamper on your game later on in the night.

I don't really feel like going out tonight, but I am going to force myself to anyway.

I've been getting great eye-contact on the streets lately.  I don't know if it's because of my inner game, because I've been working out, because of my posture, or all of the above.  But I can smile at women and get them to smile back almost 100% of the time.  Now I really need to start opening them....

I've been working out a lot lately, but I've also gotten lazy with some other aspects of my life.  I really need to find the balance where I can work on my game, do well at my job, have a strong social circle, and also get all the shit done that I need to do.  This will probably come in time, but I may need to take a breather from the game in order to coordinate it all.

I've got a birthday coming up and I"m planning logistics for that.  I've made some contacts with women in the past month and have girls who, although I may not have slept with, that I am in contact with via text.  I also have a friend in town from out-of-country.  It will be good to see her if it happens.

All-in-all I feel like I am improving, but have plateau'd again.  I just have to keep pushing on and getting better every day.

ABC

"Always be closing."  Was at the post office for work.  Some cute girl comes in (HB7) huffing and puffing, carrying a box full of mail.  I say, "that looks light."  She smiles and goes, "Oh yeah."  "You're hardly breaking a sweat," I say.  "You don't even need to go to the gym today."  "Nope," she says, "I'm not going today."  "Probably a margarita's better," I say.  She agrees.  This was the point when I should have closed and said, "You know, I was thinking about getting a margarita after work, you should come with me."  Instead, I tell her how I was deciding between a drink tonight and the gym myself, but decided on the gym.

Convo basically died after that.  I made another comment when we were moving in line and she pushed the box with her foot.  ABG, ABC.  Who cares if I got shot down?  I didn't even try.

Week of 9/4/11 (Labor Day) Journal

Have not gone out with the intention of sarging in about a week.  Last time I was out was Tuesday night.  Went to a pizza place and flirted with the bartender a bit.  Was feeling out of state.  Next went to trivia with a mix group of friends.  At the break, went outside and opened a set of HB5s (one of whom thought she was HB8 or higher).  Stayed in set and chatted until done with cigarette I bummed from them.  Went home afterwards.  Last night, went to gym and came straight home.  At the gym this week, I've been flirting with the girl whom I find really attractive.  She's been giving me some serious IOIs (telling me her plans for the weekend unbidden, telling me where she's from without me asking, always smiling a special smile for me and saying, "HEY!"  I've been making an effort to spend time talking to her more and more.  I would like to close with a day 2 at some point.

Saturday I went to the gym with a buddy.  There's a girl there who I flirt with, but am not really interested in.  She gave me a special, non-verbal "hello" when we were there.  Also, the older ladies there really seem to like me and have been giving me special attention.  I've been trying to make eye contact with the girls who workout there with the intent of eventually approaching.

Over the long weekend, I don't think I went out once.  Friday I was at a bar pre-gaming with guy from work. Flirted with waitress.  A fourset came and sat behind me and I should have opened, but I did not.  Then went and played magic/didn't see any girls for the rest of the night.  Saturday I went out with my current number one.  So I got laid, but did not really flirt.  I flirted with my eyes when we went to Boswell's to dance.  Also, we had sex in the back of her car (which was a first for her), so that was fun.  Then we went to her place and fucked like two more times.  Bitch had the nerve to say "I was disappointed we didn't do it in the morning."  lol, stfu.

Thursday I got a little crazy.  I think I wrote about this already though.  Last night, I was walking to Subway with a friend and there were two mixed three-sets sitting outside at starbucks on the way.  I wanted to open them, but didn't.  I was going to ask "why is it so busy here," or "what's going on?  Are you all dancers?"
Yesterday there was a really hot girl coming out of the post office.  We smiled at each other.  I did not open her.  Fuck.

All-in-all, I think I am getting better.  Just need to approach more, be less outcome-dependent, and close.
