i made night game my main game since moving back to college because i didn’t want to deal with reputation problems. i’ve had only two lays in a couple of weeks so far(both of which involved a serious amount of luck/timing).

Most of my interactions end up in getting phone numbers which never go anywhere so i decided to slowly get back into day game (my system is to just approach girls i see while going about my day on campus)

However I noticed i’ve started burning out from night game. I went out last night because i was bored but i didn’t even approach a single set because i was convinced it wouldn’t go anywhere.
Any tips to get out of this mindset? I think i’ll have to take a break from night game

@barneystin,

Night game phone numbers are notoriously unreliable.

I wrote an article on it a while back here:


You could always try @Teevster's video message strategy. He's used this to good success with girls met via club game:


Anyway, for getting your groove back in nightclubs, I would suggest setting some smaller goals that will show you yes, girls are DEFINITELY into you:

  • Go out and see how many girls you can get isolated with you. i.e., how many you can pull away from their friends/wherever you met them to another, more intimate part of the venue where you and them can talk more deeply.

  • Go out just to see if you can get make-outs in a club. Club make-outs usually aren't going to lead anywhere BUT they will prove to you beyond a doubt that yes, girls in nightclubs are into you enough to want to kiss you/shove their tongues down your throat.

  • Go out and see if you can find a girl who will change venues with you, either to another bar or club or to a diner.

None of those require you to take phone numbers. You also don't have to outright pull a girl back to your place and shag her. But they are all goals that are absolutely along that path.

Try some of those and see if they don't reinvigorate you.
