I went out once in the evening, did some slight day game with Sapmi and Kowalski, and some serious relationship management with a girl I’m seeing.

No point in breaking down every set – I’ll just put in a few set pieces.

The good: met up with a girl I met doing day game last week twice – cheers to Sapmi and Kowalski for some excellent winging (Sapmi - I appreciated your kino restraint on the target's friend!!!). That set is like a frail egg – huge cultural difference – they are from Korea, a more conservative Asian country.

Night game with sapmi – some hilarious high-fives to get in state, and a fun night. Thinking of it in terms of PU, these were moving sets. Opened a mixed set, spoke to one of the girls, eventually she stayed with me, kept talking and I was trying to kino escalate – final move putting hands through her hair (final bit of evolution phase shift). I went for a k-close (“I’m trying hard not to kiss you” – that gambit) but it didn’t work (“I think you should stay that way” !!!). Anyways, I managed to recover from that (“I’m trying hard not to kiss everyone…”) …. number closed and it seemed solid. She wasn’t the kind of girl who seemed too open sexually – with these girls I find kino toughest. Actually, I tend to prefer these kinds of girls…

(a few dodgy sets – ones where I didn’t keep momentum, didn’t go for the close, didn’t kino enough!!; fair few sets I wasn't intersted in)

Later on k-closed with a bit of dance floor game – started dancing with a big girl, then danced with the target’s friend (near-k-close), then danced with the target, k-closed quickly. Check out Adam Lyon’s dance floor game stuff – that’s what I went for – push/pull. I’m new to this. Maybe dancing with big girls is good for your social proof?... the k-close seemed quite easy, a bit outside my reality before. The club closed as we were kissing, and I picked her up and tried to extract (“you’re coming to my place” – I got a laugh and some ASD – she was with her friend. Perhaps I should have been more assertive and dismissed her friend. Later I saw them outside, went with them on the bus, engineered it so I was next to them (even moved one guy out of the way) – again, some great winging from sapmi – knocking out an obstacle trying to speak to the set. The girl texted me later, but when I texted her I didn’t get a reply!! Maybe there is a certain kind of game for this kind of make-out?

On to my final point – PU is frustrating!!! You need to have thick skin!!

How do we manage our learning, how do we make sure, and know, that we are moving forward?... I think I’m making progress in some ways, but in other ways I think maybe I’m getting a bit worse!! I’ll try to inject more structure into my learning. If anyone has any thoughts on this please let me know! I know that a few of us on here are feeling this.

Quick update:

A bit of cheek goes a long way in text game!! At the very least, PU is funny!!!

Mate,

Just to say you're really fun to sarge with, a complete mad head (i.e remember 'armless'?)

My take on learning game is to keep at it and gain experience. You need crap experiences and good experiences to get good...you will then automatically adjust (calibrate) yourself, making your desired outcome easier.

I think then you become your own 'guru'.

Field is king...brapp!
