enjoyed reading your diary - rapid progress mate!
it's laso helped me with some of the questions you asked and responses

its about time I started updating this blog again. The last couple of months have been focusing on new job and havnt done any approaches for ages.

Tried a few approaches at lads weekend in York recently but had trouble getting out of my head, we went to quiet pub to start then had curry so by the time we hit lively bars it was hard

Out last night, several bars, chatting to 2 girls on off, cute 28 year old and her slightly chubby mate. Number close cute one but get in head and don't do anything, they kept coming outside and sitting with me when left mates to smoke. Ended up pulling a polish bird but she was about 35 and not amazing.

I need to be a bit more sociable in all daily interactions, canteen staff, smoking shelter etc, so momentum is is set for weekend, rather than just minimal social effort confined to mates during week then on Friday night magically expecting to be Mr Social.

I have a stag do in Kraków in a few weeks so will report back hopefully with some progress...

32 is not too old to start this game :)

I started much older than you. Actually I think when you're older you can do better at this. Since you are more centered in who you are and your reality. Along with having your life more ideally together. Therefore not having to worry about logistics on where to go when you need private time together.

I went out today in London with a mate and did around 12 approaches on Oxford Street then some night game in Tiger Tiger.

Originally I was so stifled and the first hour of approaches were HARD and I ejected early to 'protect' myself despite many interactions going well. After an hour and a half, something clicked, and the interactions were smoother, vocal tonality improved and I found it a bit easier think of stuff to say although there were 2 occasions I should've asked for a number but didn't :(

Evening, We entered Tiger Tiger and I said I was going to open first people on left. It was 3 spanish girls, I think I said that's the second best pair of shoes I've seen tonight lol I stayed for bit and got her number a bit later (but had to leave earlier for train). i did quite a few approaches in a short space of time, it was good, I'm normally terrible in a club and get way to self conscious about what other people in bar think of me. Productive day, lets keep momentum.

Definitely in a sump at the moment. I have not been out nowhere near as regularly as should, I need to start going out more, getting more sleep during week to help energy levels and not procastating on net/social media and do more mid week constructive stuff grrr

A more productive night yesterday with a mate. Started off a bit stifled just chatting to each other for first couple of hours, then see a couple of nice girls (28) near us in revs smoking area.

There drinking a pitcher of something, i go over and ask what as it looks lush but is it too camp for 2 guys to order, a bit random but they liked it, and even said its not camp if your sitting with us and she pulled back a chair, i got the number of the blonde, and had some good banter then we all went together to popworld, she was kino'ing me massively, although I found out she has husband and 4yo, despite it seeming on that would be a shitty thing to do.

Eventually me and Phil went to another bar and I felt so much more the zone opening a lot of girls due to previous interactions, taking the mickey out of some of the hen parties dubious outfits. I didn't get anymore numbers or snog but genuinely had a good fun night.

I need to go out more as am recovering from a big dry spell of no action.

Really enjoy reading your blog mate, hope it continues. If you need a wingman in Cardiff to go out with send me a messege..

Did about 10 approaches on Oxford Street earlier. The first few I was really stifled and kept making excuses not to approach. Did a few, which seemed to go well but I kept bailing. I couple of times I just went over and said how I love X clothing combo and it made them light up.

One girl told was super cold and monosyllabic, she said bye before I did lol oh well

Last one, a cute girl in combat trousers leaning against topshop wall, 2 dudes near her in earshot, I go over say something about her camo trousers looking really stylish, she loves it, is from the states, chat about the only way is Essex (I live there many moons ago). The 2 guys were defo listening but just smiled, as id done a few I was much more indifferent.

Things to work on. I need to do more approaches every day even if it's just approach a stranger a day and don't care where the interaction goes so I have momentum when it counts.

I did about 90mins today and the first 40 mins was like walking in treacle until momentum and confidence kicked in from previous approaches.
