FUN Journal

Hello,

Brief intro. I'm in my early 30s, a dad. I've started going out beginning of september this year (daygame, solo) to work on approaching. I've been very consistent at it and so far I've approached a little over 200 and ended up with two dates but no lays as of yet. Anyways, it kind of put me an halt to going out there beginning of this week because I injured my leg pretty bad. So I've been spending mostly on my bed getting all introspective about this whole thing that i've been doing so far. And somehow ran into this forum and thought maybe I'd start a little log and see if I can find myself to be a part of good community and find some like minded people and some support. so here i go.

my stat: (Began Sept of 2016)
210 approaches
2 dates.
No lay.

Hopefully, I'll be able to be back out there by next week and have some fun!

26 more approaches added since last post.

Updated Stat:

Approaches: 236
Dates: 2
Lay: 0

So I've made some changes since last time I posted. I haven't gotten any additional dates but I've been consistently approaching and of course I got some more numbers but I don't really count numbers. Anyways....

Changes I've made...I bought some new clothes. Picked up another hobby to add into my "arsenal of cardio." I've been hitting the gym a little more and harder.
Game wise: I tried to approach with more confidence in my head and tried to extend conversation and a wee bit more persistence.

I've been using more visualization to keep myself focused.

SO my question is for any veterans out there. Do these approaches eventually get easier? I mean I've been consistently on this for 3 months but there are days I can execute multiple approaches with ease but there are a lot of days that it's struggle to approach everytime. It won't necessarily be the first approach that I get hesitant with....sometimes every approaches I'd do that day I'd hesitate a lot or let a lot of opportunties pass by. Hope this becomes as natural and easy as brushing your teeth one day.

a little update. I've still been approaching and I'm getting close to 300 solo approaches. I stopped doing a lot of approaches in one single sesh to focus on each interaction but by doing this I think my approach anxiety that I felt in the beginning came back so it's been even struggle to just approach again. Regardless I've been pushing through and tried some new things. More "ballsy" stuff like more eye contacts and touching during the interaction which I am pretty proud of. Trying to just create more sexual and edgy vibe from get go. I'm not sure how much of that had translated to the girl but I feel like I am on the right path. Eventually, I'd like to be a person that really push it and be edgy as hell from the get go (more touching, sexualized, not shameful, not shy).

This weeks been a bit tough trying to get myself out there let alone approach but I'm not going to give up and appreciate small victories even if it means to get me out of my house even though I don't approach. I've been dealing with a bit of depression since end of last week.

I think this journal's gonna be more of my internal and spiritual journey then what's actually happening outside. Maybe not until I start seeing some apparent results. In fact, so far this journey had been more mental, emotional, and spiritual for me than what's happening outside. It's been a struggle not going to lie. It's been mentally and emotionally the most challenging path I've taken so far in my life...which is good because I know I have to go through this in order to progress as an individual.

At this point my goal is to work towards working harder and more, and foremost keep my faith strong to stay on this journey....be whatever it takes to stay on the wagon.
