- Later on we ended up in Infernos, she was in another bar nearby. Texted to let her know where we were, no reply. Got to Infernos at 1.15am, by this time it was a meat market - too many drunk people so called it a night there.

Kept thinking about DHV, and this really helped my mindset.

In relation to this, there was another turning point as well - whilst in mid-conversation with HB7, she gets out her phone and starts texting. In pre-PUA days I would have waited for her to finish, but something clicked and I thought 'no, my time is precious'. So turned back to my friends and carried on conversation. They were baffled ('why didn't you wait for her to finish?'). Went back to her 20 minutes later and got the number straight away.

Texted her later to say we should meet up soon, no reply again! So all in all that was a dead end. Oh well, at least it was good practice.

Small steps, but still progress nonetheless

I learnt this the hard way, do not text the girl the same night. It makes you come across needy. My thinking is that, its better to be chased that to chase. You should text the girl the next night, mentioning something that has happened in that night that relates to you both.

And plus, you will more than likely bump into this girl again in the night.

Oh yeah and shit, I love the my train was running late thing, that is awesome, I may use something similar next time I am out.

I usually text the girl right after the # close, so she has my number and will most likely save it to her phone. That way you avoid the wtf is this when you text some other day.

Another trick that I use is to give a girl a pet name, and then call her that in the text, it'll make her think back to the fun you had on that night.

This and the post earlier on I never thought of, I suppose they are casually good ideas. I will try them on my next #-close.

Well this was an interesting one.....

Pissing down with rain the whole day, and most of the night as well. Can't let a little H2O stop me now though eh?

Getting hyped in the hotel, but my non-PUA mate was trying to kill the atmosphere by continually talking about his ex-girlfriend!

The others are still getting ready, so we hit the streets for a little wander. Encounter 2 girls - not great, 4 at best. Ask where is good to go out, they say Liquid (isn't it always?). Loved the quote 'Romford is full of chavs' when they themselves were dressed....like chavs. One of them runs under my umbrella, if she was fit I would have carried on the conversation but didn't bother.

We roll out around 10, 1st port of call is Brannagans. It is not saying much at all, but the drink is cheap. On this note, everone seems to be carrying at least 3 drinks. For themselves.

Gets a bit boring, then I have this sudden brainwave inspired by watching RSD......THE UMBRELLA DANCE.

So I proceed to dance around the umbrella, I offer to show girls walking past but they look at me like I am crazy. My non-PUA friends are also looking at me like I am crazy.

Note that whilst in Brannagans, we decide that we are going to play pub golf.

The 2nd venue had much better girls than Brannagans, but for some reason I didn't do any approaches.

The 3rd venue (can't remember the names of the bars - doh)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Seemed to rediscover a bit of form at this point. Will keep it short:

1) Approaching a 'policewoman' with the classic 'what do I have to do to get myself arrested'
POLICEWOMAN: Where are you staying?
SK: Travelodge
POLICEWOMAN: Me too
SK: What's your room number?
POLICEWOMAN: 307
SK: I'll be there later, either you will be arresting me or the police will
POLICEWOMAN: Ha ha OK

And I walked off, having made a mental note.

2) HB8 in a tight dress. Applied the 3 second rule, walked straight over and said 'I just had to tell you...you are BANGIN'!' Cue laughter from her and the friends. No N-close though (the 'I have a boyfriend line', got a bit lazy and couldn't be bothered to plough through so let her go)

Went to Liquid, having been chatted up by some suspiciously young-looking girls on the way. Can't remember much of Liquid, pub gold is taking its toll.

Time to fall back on the insurance - Room 307 it is. Knock on the door and lo and behold, the policewoman is there. However, her friend is passed out on the bed wearing nothing but a bodystocking and tights. The tights appear to be ripped, the policewoman says some guy fucked her and promptly left. Errr OK.

It gets more bizarre - policewoman says that her BF is coming to the hotel in 15 minutes. By the way, she was insurance for a reason - she is a little on the plus size (unfortunately this is my vice, and something that I am trying to eliminate from my game). Sobering up, I realise that there a more cons and pros and return to my room to get some kip.

3 things to ponder:

1) Gotta do a night out with some PUAs sometime, for in-the-field inspiration

2) Trying to go even more direct, this may be helped out by (1)

3) Pub golf and sarging are rather incompatible!
