My name is zigzag and live in the midlands UK (Bromsgrove) B60. I’m 40 years of age and have recently picked myself up after a 5 yr relationship ended. Until recently I can only describe my love life as GOOD but more by luck than judgment! 3 months ago I met a girl that turned my head… HB6 – HB7, but guess what!!! She only wanted to be friends. Looking for inspiration on how to turn this round and info as to what I did wrong lead me to buying ‘ The Game ‘ Neil Strauss. ‘Good Start’ I hear you cry!

2 days of reading later… OMG… I realised that I had made every mistake & some in the book. Still attempting to get the girl I tried DHV and Jealousy routines ( Real shit not fake). Alas I’m still in the friend zone!!! But it doesn’t hurt like it did.

Next Her…. (Some days later)

Last night I met a couple of guys at a salsa party (don’t worry I’m not on the turn). I knew these guys enough to say ‘Hi’. They said they were going for a curry after the salsa and asked if I wanted to tag along, which I did.

While in the curry house one of the guys opened a 2 set on the table next to ours. It was very clumsy and could have gone either way. Due to the seating arrangement I had the chance to observe all the interaction without really being part of the set.

1 hour later my new friend had number closed his target and they left the restaurant. He started to bragging about what he had just achieved but I couldn’t stop from laughing!!!!. He asked me why I was laughing, expecting me to praise him. Without thinking I told him that the number close was good but then continued to systematically criticise his whole game. He has never read ‘The Game’ and had been working from his natural instincts and experiences so I should have said nothing.

But… I couldn’t stop myself.

I told him that his opener was clumsy and pointed out that he had gone straight for the target without making sure her friend wasn’t a cock blocker, he also went straight into complements with no negs at all but got away with it as it was an easy set. He told told them he was a teacher (which he isn’t) that almost stalled the conversation but luckily the target then asked me what I did to which I replied ‘I’m a gynaecologist’ and the conversation picked up again from there only to be stalled again by his wing man who should have been keeping her friend in conversation.

I sat there for 30 mins pinpointing all the flaws that I had noticed when I realised that the occupants of the surrounding tables were hanging on my every word.

That’s when I realised that I knew some of the technical side but none of the practical and that what I had learned to try and turn an LJBF into a GF had taught me new skills that I had not realised or even tested yet…..

So here I am….. I have no wing man or good places to sarge on my own, so I’m running solo which makes it hard but I’m not running away from this now.

If I was wrong with busting my new friend then let me know…..

If anyone in my area wants to help me out testing whatever talents I might have then contact me please………

Here’s to new friends… Cheers..

Welcome to the forum.

hey man. yeh thats a good start. its funny that by reading the game, your whole outlook on life completely changes, especially in regards to women and social interactions.

it sounds like you've got a good understanding of things after only a short period. i was the same.

Hey ZigZag... interesting post. Its funny how you can pick up a lot of skills without realising it, and then suddenly be thrust into a situation where you surprise yourself. It has happened to me.

And you noticed the obsession guys who don't know about PUA have with phone numbers too! I've seen guys who got a phone number strutting around like the dog with two dicks. In reality, the chances are she won't answer or she gave it to them as a social nicety or because she wants to be friends.

Prometheus, thanks for reading my Intro...... I think she will probably answer if he does call her but I very much doubt that he will. Maybe its just me but Its not about the winning its about how u play the GAME. If he had failed he would have learnt absolutely nothing from the experience and performed the same routine over and over again.... ?
