Sat 18th Aug

Out in the city centre on my own, bloody hungover so not as composed as I could be. Anyway, I do a few approaches and get nowhere with any. Then I spot a nice girl in the Arndale. I am heading over to say hi when some dude suddenly swoops in out of nowhere and starts chatting to her. I take refuge and lean against a bannister in the mall and watch. It was like watching a Youtube video of someone doing day game!

So after a minute or so the guy bails and walks over to a couple of guys. I head over to them and ask him if he had approached the chick. Turns out these dudes were also doing day game. Apparently a couple of them used to be on Manchester Lair but don’t go online much anymore.

I hung out with them for a couple of hours, with them approaching and me doing a few. We chatted about it all amongst other stuff and they were sound lads. Anyway, gonna meet them again sometime. Apparently there’s a couple of other fellas who go out with them too.

Mon 20th Aug

Girl 1: Korean girl. Told her I loved her style, esp her Converse shoes. I told her I’d been buying nothing but Converse recently. I then asked her what she was up to that day. She was on her way back to carry on with her dissertation. We talked about uni and then got onto Korean culture. Then I talked about Korean food with her for a bit and restaurants in Manchester I’d been to.

I then asked her what English food she’d tried and she slagged it off. So I took a critical view on her comments and told her a few home truths about Lancashire Hotpot and shepherd’s pie. This somehow led us onto her saying she hopes she can get me round to hers to cook me some Korean dishes… an excellent idea i thought. The conversation was based around a shared passion for food and I told her we must meet up and chat some more about this. We exchange numbers. Need be swift on this one, she’s off back to Seoul in Sept and she has uni work to finish which could also be a logistical problem.

Girl 2: Told her I liked her style and justified this compliment telling her it was perfect for the Summery weather. She was very happy and I asked her what she was up to. She was on her way home from work. She worked in Yo Sushi making sushi. I unfortunately did not use this as a way to build rapore, and started going off on one about Korean food. After me taking this too far and her having nothing to go on she decided it was time for her to go. Fair enough I thought, and said bye (I really couldn’t be bothered chasing).

Girl 3: Girl in Tesco. Told her I loved her tshirt and shoes. She looked at me inquisitively and I carried on telling her it looked very summery. I then asked her if she was a student and we chatted about her course. She was up here on a placement for 8 weeks from uni in London. I chatted about London and my uni days down there. I asked her if she had many friends up here and it seemed not. I told her I would take her out and show her some cool places, as I said that she’d probably only seen the surface stuff, like landmarks and museums. She took my Facebook, if she wants to add me cool, if not then cool (and it will perhaps show I’d not built up enough reasons for her to see me again).

Girl 4: Girl in Aldi with killer hotpants and stockings. I told her I loved her style and it looked really cool. She said thanks and walked on. I left it.

I tried being a little more indirect with the opener/compliment today. Perhaps this might work better on those who are a little shy and who have certain social boundaries, or those who might doubt their looks.

OK. Rang this chick tonight and finally set up a day 2, phew!! I rang her last week but she was doing uni work so left it. I've come to realise these Chinese students are pretty damn busy, turns out they're all off on another day trip this Sat to Liverpool.

Therefore I thought instead of telling her a day I was free I'd ask her what day she was free. I told her I would take her out to discover some cool things about Manchester she won't have seen. Sunday it is (fingers crossed).

OK, this chick text me today and she's finally back from Japan (about bloody time). She then tries to ring me at work... she seems keen I'm thinking! I text her and tell her I'll ring her later. Anyway just got off the phone to her and arranged a date for Fri. Game on.

Nova, this isn't a criticism but more of a question because you seem to be rocking the day game;

do you think you have to put more effort into daygame than say night game or online dating to see results?

Yes, it's true, I have been putting all of my effort into day game. I do a little bit of online but I treat that as a side project really.

If you are wondering why I do put so much focus on it, well it suits me better. This is possibly because I'm a fairly laid back character in nature, but don't get me wrong I love socializing. There's a couple of elements to this I think. One thing is I don't really like chatting up girls in noisy bars and clubs, and the other is that I don't really see the type of chick I like in bars and clubs. In the day I have all the choice, there really are no limits.

Having been out with Sapmi and Camarda recently though in the night, and having no tales as such to tell, I would like to get more of a handle on how night game works as I've never go to grips with it really.

It wasn't so much why you put so much focus on it, in fact I had a really great time practicing night game and I'm sure day game is the same.

I just wondered whether you felt it bore more fruit?

As for night game, I find picking off girls with low self esteem and father issues works for me ;)

I personally don't like "day game". I think its a bit difficult, its easier to just during the day go about your business and if you see a cute girl you like, go for it. I don't like the idea of just going out and standing in a public square approaching random people for no reason other than to just get their number. I can imagine doing it with a buddy every once in a while for kicks though and it'd be awesome.

The massive advantage with "day game" is you will see the most elusive and exclusive girls. The classy girls who go to cooking class rather than get smashed off their faces, the ridiculously intelligent girls who spend their days in the library being completely career driven.. who I personally find very hot.

At night time and online, I feel more comfortable playing it as a game because everyone is there for a reason usually.

More balls than me when it comes to daytime game

After 3 failed attempts id just leave it and buy a hat from top man

You should try it at Sainsburrys..they have " Single Nights " on thursdays after 8

Loads of people go to do their shopping and bump into potential hotties

I suppose it is beginning to bear more fruit for me as I now have 2, possibly 3, dates lined up this wkd with exactly the the type of girls I like. This is a record for me haha!


That's part of the fun of it mate. Having to work for it makes it much more satisfying. Plus it's a buzz.


This can't be merely your aim though. I look to make a girl's day and have a chat with someone new. The successful closes I've had have genuinely had a blast talking and flirting with me.
