Hey guys, my name is Pete and I am a 28yo daygame newbie.

I'm based up North and I am going to start consistently daygaming!

A little bit of my background. When I was younger, I was somewhat social and was actually alright with talking to people. The thing is at 21, both of my parents died. Then I went to a very strong depressive stage that lasted from 21-26. Tbh, I had thoughts about offing myself but I thank God I never did it.

At 26, I moved from London to up north and started being a bit more social. I am currently studying at one of the universities. I got laid twice during my first year both were complete flukes. The girls lived in the flat underneath me and somehow, someway ending up hooking up with both girls on different days. They were just one and done, I was terrible at sex and basically didn't finish on both times. I was so drunk with both girls and they didn't call me back.

Covid started and I was stuck at home during my second year of study. This drove me almost crazy and I decided to do some daygame during the first lockdown.

I committed to approaching at least 1 girl a day for about 3 months. During those 3 months, I went on dates with 4 different girls I met doing daygame. I pulled all these girls back to my flat and my room but I didn't know how to escalate without alcohol and basically messed up at least 2 possible lays.

In my last month of daygame, I ended up meeting a Russian student while daygaming, we exchanged numbers and ended up going on 4 dates. On those 4 dates, we hooked up twice and fooled around on the other 2 dates.

I basically watched as many videos as I could on escalation.

Plus going out every day for 3 months, talking to people and being in the good weather really really boosted my mood up. I made a commitment to spend as little time as home as I could, I would just go out and do walking meditations. I would basically walk and keep my mind clear during the time. This helped me to be extremely relaxed when talking to people.

Two things that helped me so much was:

An eskimo kiss escalation that ToddV talked about in his product 'Daygame Mastery' (I think that's what it is called):
Play thumb wars.
After each round escalate a bit more.
Start with rubbing forehead.
Then second round, based on whether she's receptive ->
Rub noses and escalate into a quick kiss from there.

The concept of basically 2 steps forward and 1 step back when escalating. Whispering something in a girl's ear for a short period of time and then backing off to relaxing and laying back. Mixing up the different types of escalation, not just doing the same thing over and over again but of course being utterly respectful of the girl's boundaries and constantly gauging how she's responding to the escalation. If at any stage she shows any discomfort making sure to apologise, back off and going back to just joking around.

Well after the dates, I got lazy with daygame and thought 'I don't need to go out anymore!". I got needy and she stopped replying to my texts.

Writing this, feels like I am talking about a completely different person haha

Here I am again, restarting my daygame and hoping to get myself back out there.

I am basically restarting becoming social again and talking to people.
Right now my goal each day:
1. Talk to every single man or woman that I come across, talk to the first person I see whenever I come out of my house.
-Ask a question, make a comment on something interesting or offer a genuine compliment.
2. Talk to 5 women a day. 1 of these approaches should be a conversation over 2 mins.

For the first 3 months, I am not going to focus on collecting any numbers or any contact details.
I am just going to focus on talking to men/woman without any intention or trying to get anything. I have been doing daily meditation also.
I also want to commit to do approximately 6 hours of meditation a day. It really really helps me throughout my life.

Reiterate my goals:
1. Talk to every man or woman I see. First person I see as soon as I leave my house, I talk to.
2. Talk to at least 5 women a day. Even if it's just very short conversation.
3. One of these conversations have to be at least 2 mins in length.
4. No phone numbers or IG closes during these first 3 months. Just focus on talking to people with no intention or nervousness. Just chilling.
5. Meditate for 6 hours a day. Take the vibe I have when meditating. That feeling of contentment and not needing anything, take that feeling and use it when talking to others. Talking to other people from a place of contentment.

Thanks guys! Tomorrow is day one. This is a long term journey for me, an exercise really just to build my social skills and meet a great girlfriend.
