Do you have big shopping malls in your city? That's always a great place to find girls by themselves.

If not inside the mall, I found streets leading to the mall to be great. Lots of cold approaches can be done on girls leaving or entering the mall without having to worry about mall security and stuff which would be a factor indoors.
I tried malls a couple of times, but I found I didn't like them at all. The girls are all teenagers and there with their friend groups or families.., also I hate the bright lighting and general environment there...

Next week I'm travelling, excited to see what can be done in a different city!

Keep us posted about your travels. It's a great chance to really push yourself, plus there's a boldness in attitude that comes when you're not in your own backyard.

I finally went direct on a girl today (or maybe it's called indirect-direct technically?), and asked her out within a minute of opening.

Saw a little cute girl standing at a street corner, back against a shop wall, looking down at her phone. She was dressed all white, which contrasted nicely with her tan skin and dark curly hair.

At first I kept going because I had my bike in hand, and helmet on. My internal reasoning was she looks too young. But then I stopped, took the helmet off, and walked back to her. I decided I might just as well complete Chase's assignment that he gave me weeks ago and asked her for her favorite color and Zodiac. She didn't understand anything, so I repeated the question in English.

GIRL: "Blue and Capricorn!"
ME: "Blue and Capricorn, eh? ... that's nice!"
(pause, girl seemed confused but didn't ask what it's for)
ME: "Actually I thought you look super pretty and wanted to talk to you!"
GIRL (with a big smile): "Oh, thank you!"
ME: "So where are you from?"
GIRL: "Iraq!"
ME: "Oh wow, Iraq... and what are you doing here?"
GIRL: "I'm on vacation"
ME: "And how do you like it here?"
GIRL: "It's great!"
ME: "So, how long are you staying?"
GIRL: "I'm leaving tomorrow"
ME: "Oh, tomorrow already!" (she seemed really warm, and I figured I had nothing to lose) "That's a pity, because I'd really love to take you out for a coffee."
GIRL (still smiling): "Sorry, but I'm engaged!"
ME: "Oh no! Well then I guess it's not possible. Nice to meet you!"
GIRL: "Nice to meet you too!"

I walked away grinning from one ear to the other. This girl was so sweet! And it was the first time I directly asked a girl out from cold approach. And with her smiling at me all the time, it didn't feel like a rejection at all.

I did one more approach later, again while riding the bike. There was this two-set of girls walking on the bike lane. One of them wore short pants with the Brazilian colors and "Brazil" printed on her very nice ass. I called out "Brazil!" from behind them... That probably was a big mistake, probably came across like a cat call. I'm only realizing this now as I'm typing it. I drove up to them and asked from the side: "Are you from Brazil?" but the girl just looked at me out of the corner of her eye, with a frown, and moved away from me. I said "You're on the bike lane" but that didn't really gain me any points either. Oh well, botched approach. Whatever.

Had one more chance on the beach later, but wasn't totally sold on the girl's appearance. She had nice brown skin, but I didn't like her glasses and shoes. Shouldn't have been so picky and opened her anyway, but I hovered around for far too long until it became too awkward. Then she got up and walked away, and I kicked myself again for having hesitated for so long.

But I'm really stoked about that first approach! This was a major milestone for me. Sometimes it's so easy!

Excellent job my friend! Use that positive feeling to blow right past your next bout of approach anxiety.

Wohoo!!

Great to hear this. The first direct approach was it on your travels or still in your regular city?

Great job though. Hope you celebrated it. Now you can build on it. 😎

Yeaahhh that was a really lovely experience! Finally to express what I really want. Doing something brave and being well received, that's really an experience that makes the whole game sooo worth it.

As for today, I didn't find any suitable targets. I went to a beach in a different part of town. The scenery there was awesome, I went to a beach bar and later to swim, and the water was great. But no single girls far and wide. Lots of hotties running around, but all of them were local girls with their friend groups or families. Very very hard to approach. And probably too young for me anyway.

On my way back home I saw one girl walking by herself that I liked the style of, I followed her pushing the bike but she went up a stairway where I couldn't follow her with the bike in hand.

She crossed my path again a bit later, but by then I had seen another chick that I liked more actually... at least from behind... caught up with the 2nd one at a traffic light, but her face wasn't quite what I expected and I chickened out! By then the first girl was also gone :/

So today 0 approaches unfortunately. But at least not due to AA, except maybe for that last one.

Just had an approach that went great at a street crossing.

I was riding the bike near the beach and noticed this girl. Black bikini, slim body but with feminine curves (not too much), nice tanned skin, jet black hair. Young and slighlty shorter than me. In one word, my ideal type and exactly the kind of girl that I'd love to get with.

I looked at her and she looked back at me, but I drove past her and stopped at a red traffic light. My default thinking with these girls is "she's a local and won't want to talk to me, too young etc"

She followed me though and stopped at the same traffic light, right next to me. I hesitated one or two seconds but then decided to go for it. I said "I love your color!", referring to her skin. She said "oh my tan? Thank you!", smiling. I had fully expected her to give me a one word answer or to roll her eyes or something.

I said "Yeah I'm jealous, I wish I'd get a tan like you!" (suggestions welcome to improve this line) She said something like "Yeah, white... or red" referring to my skin color. I do use sunscreen and while my body has a decent tan, my face still goes red anyway. I said "yeah, it is what it is", and we both laughed.

I asked her "Are you from here?" , but she's actually from a different southern European country. At that moment the traffic light turned green and my mind blanked out, so I think I said "beautiful" to her while starting to drive away She said thank you again, still smiling.

Holy crap it felt good to be well received by such a beautiful girl! Too bad I didnt stay in the interaction longer. Should have asked her out regardless. Though it felt slightly out of place after such a short interaction, probably better to chat her up some more first.

I also noticed there was something wrong with her mouth. It didn't move like a normal mouth when she talked, and also she a little scar in the corner of her mouth.

There are several important lessons to learn here. First, don't be afraid to go for what you want. But we knew that already, right? The other lesson: Even though the girl might look like a perfect 10 and hard to get, there's probably something that we don't know about (like this girl's strange mouth). After all we are all human, and nobody is perfect.

Pink!" without even thinking much about it. She was looking at me as if to see how I would react, but kept walking. I said to her "Pink? Great, thanks!
Possibly more enthusiasm on your last response followed up with a good question, like

“why is that your favorite color?”

Idk enough to say

if you said that she was pausing for your reaction, you had a chance to captivate her.

The movement probably indicated she was on the fence about it, a “what’s he gonna do next” vibe

those types busy or short attention spans

you have to really grab their attention for them to stay in set with you

looks like you had a chance just didn’t hook her

looks like your doing street game

it’s very difficult

if you can’t hook, they usually are these short one line encounters like you wrote

from my experience of pick up

street game, you have to nail the approach, the approach angle, timing, and good fundamentals

the hardest part is locking them in

but once your in it’s like any other approach

Way to go, @gameboy! You're making steady progress.

I also noticed there was something wrong with her mouth. It didn't move like a normal mouth when she talked, and also she a little scar in the corner of her mouth.

That's no European gal. She's from Innsmouth!

Not asking her out was a blessing in disguise... before you know it she'd have been inducting you into the Esoteric Order of Dagon.

Just playing with you.

But yeah, you're doing great, man.

I'm happy to see you getting more and more comfortable chatting up random girls!

I'm currently abroad meeting family. I thought I'd have time to do some day game and practice approaching, but I only get to see my family a few times a year so I'm spending most of the day with them.

There are a few hot girls here, and if I get a chance, I'll squeeze in some approaches when I'm on my own. But with all the sightseeing, hiking, and playing with the kids (not mine), it's a different kind of vibe I'm in right now.

Did one situational opener today with a woman in a coffee shop. She was okay looking, about my age, which is a bit older than what I'm aiming for.

She sat right behind me. I had assumed there was just a wall there so I turned aroud and told her I was surprised that people could sit there (there were some large steps there with pillows on them that I hadn't realized were there).

From there the conversation flowed effortlessly. Chatted for about 10 minutes and found out where she's from and where she's working. She told me ahe works for the government, tax collector of all things lol. She gave me some tips about places to visit since I'm still abroad travelling.

After having her coffee she left to start her shift at work. I guess I could have tried to number close her or suggest a meetup, but I really wasn't attracted so it would have been inauthentic. When she got up I asked her for her name instead, told her mine and shook her hand. Then gave her a hug and said nice to meet you.

Nice job @gameboy getting the conversation flowing. Sometimes it's just easy isn't it? Does the fact that you're traveling make it easier? I'm going to be spending a lot of time on the road for the next few months.

Not really, because I'm with family most of the time and I'm just not in the head space to do cold approach. But today with this woman it just happened naturally. I do think it helped that I've been approaching a lot these past months though!

I'm back home, and back to (trying to do) approaching! Today's summary: 1 supermarket approach, then missed out on at least one AA on the beach.

HOLIDAY TRIP SUMMARY

Quick summary of my holiday trip: I went to a coastal city in Spain, meeting up with family who were also spending their holiday there. I get to see my family only a few times a year, so I spent most of my time there with them. I had an airbnb of my own though, because there was no room in theirs.

SUGAR BABY EXPERIENCE

I decided to take one day for myself when my folks had plans that I didn't have a huge interest in. On that day I met up with a sugar baby from SA. It's been months since I got laid the last time (and that was also with a sugar baby... gotta get this pickup thing to work!). I had an awesome hour and a half with the girl, she was smoking hot and also really nice once I got her to warm up to me a bit. Looks wise she was definitely at least a 9, if not a 10.

On the plus side, this girl was really cool. 27 years old, from Peru. Let's call her HBPeru. Dark skinned and with jet black hair, which I love. Funny thing is she told me she'd like to be more white. I told her I'd like to be darker.

She was a great kisser, and she gave head like a pro. Didn't feel at all like a pro though. She told me she had met up with sugar guys just 2 or 3 times. From the way she said it, it sounded sincere. Unless I misunderstood something, since we were talking in Spanish.

I had a lot of fun with HBPeru during the time we were together. She was super sweet and fun to talk to. We kissed a lot, and the sex was hot and intense. Even though I did get the impression she wasn't very attracted at first, but that got better as she warmed up to me. She seemed heart broken, having ended a LTR of 5 years only 4 months ago. I cheered her up a bit and in the end we had quite a few laughs.

But after 1.5 hours she left, and I was on my own again.

It's really a crash and burn with these girls. It's like a drug. It's great while they are with you, and once they're gone, it's an empty feeling. I can really see how so many guys fall into the trap of sugaring and whoremongering. I feel pity for those who don't have any other options in their life and never get to experience having a girlfriend that loves them for who they really are.

After HBPeru left, I wandered around on the beach promenade near my Airbnb. There were plenty of pretty girls around and I could have done some approaches, but my mind was on the girl I'd just been with. On one hand I felt happy to have had a good time with her, but on the other hand... it just didn't feel real.

We exchanged some texts afterward. She told me she liked me, and I invited her to come over to my city at some point in the future. At first she sounded super excited, and immediately after, asked me if I wanted to meet up again the next night.

Being the romantic fool that I am, I assumed she wanted to meet me for free. Finding out she'd only do it for cash honestly was a downer. I did haggle the price down to a significantly reduced amount, but I don't think she liked that. The next day she was only available for one hour, and not at night as she had said before. In the end the 2nd meeting never happened, because I preferred to chill with my family.

This experience reminded me once more of what I hate about sugar dating: The girls are always in a rush to leave after a certain time has passed. And that certain time always seems too short.

Also, they'll tell you they want to meet again, but they'll only do it if you fork out more cash.

In hindsight I definitely regret not having done any approaches in holiday city. Unless I go back there some day, I'll never know what the girls living there are like. And some of them were really attractive.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY

I got back home yesterday night, and I'm more determined than ever to master day game. HBPeru was another taste of blood if you will, and a lot tastier taste of blood than the HB5 I had that lame date with the other day.

GAMEBOY BACK IN THE FIELD

Today was my first day back in the field.

As a warmup, I started out saying "hello" to a rather fat girl that was coming frontally toward me, talking into her phone. I fully expected her to ignore me, but to my surprise she said "hello" back, then continued talking at her phone. Made me wonder if I know her from somewhere? Haha... that's probably what all the girls think I'm saying hello to out of the blue!

SUPERMARKET OPENER

In the supermarket, there was a fairly attractive girl right behind me at the cashier. I think I smiled at me at some point when our eyes met, but I'm not sure because I looked away too quick. When I looked back at her she was looking in another direction.

She was buying a single pumpkin, which I decided to tease her about. I don't remember the convo word by word, but it was something like:

Me: "A pumpkin? Is that for halloween?"
Girl: "No, to eat"
Me: "How do you eat it?"
Girl: "You can cook it"
Me: "I don't think I've ever eaten one"
Girl: "Yeah it's a strange diet"
Me: "Oh you can make pumpkin soup, yeah that's really good!"
She didn't really reply to that, so I said "bye" and left.

I didn't feel she was into the conversation. Maybe she was distracted by counting her change or something, but she barely looked at me throughout the interaction.

BEACH TIME

I did a couple of hours sarging on the beach, but AA struck again and I didn't manage any approaches there. It was Saturday and most HBs were with their friend groups or in 2-sets. I thought about asking some of the HBs their Zodiac sign even though they were in sets, but couldn't do it in the end.

PETITE GIRL

At one point I saw a petite girl looking at me while I was riding the bike. She was lying down belly down, reading a book. I liked her body and her short shorts, quite doable. So I stopped near her trying to elicit approach invitations, but got none. Drove around some more, then came back hovering around a bit in her vicinity. I'm pretty sure she noticed me, but she was getting up and moving to another spot that still had sun. She actually walked away from me without so much as looking back, which wasn't really an AI.

Later while wandering around on the beach I walked by in front of her once more. I thought she did look a bit young for me. Also she wouldn't look up from her book at all while I was checking her out, so I didn't open her.

MISSED AI

There was one girl that I do think gave me an AI. I was standing somewhere with my bike between my legs, looking out at the rising moon, and this girl came toward me. She had a book in one hand, shoes in the other. She sat down quite close to me, facing me, and started to clean her feet of the sand to put her shoes on. She could've sat anywhere else, or faced any direction. So the fact that she sat the way she say was a clear approach invitation. But I chickened out and couldn't think of anything to say.

Gotta remember for next time... "Hello!"... "How's you're day going?" ... "How was the beach?" ... anything will do really. I should know that from experience by now! But AA got the better of me. I guess I'm a bit rusty after that week off.

A single girl with a book coming from the beach on a Saturday evening... Pretty sure she wanted some company. Dang.

You're good bro, we all miss opportunities. Part of the journey is missing your shot--that's how you develop the skill. Just keep shooting--or at least trying to!

Have you told us where you live or is it classified?

Not sure about u, but one thing i noticed on myself is that if i focus on AIs instead of on just how attractive the girl is to me, ill miss them more often than not.

Its almost like im waiting for the perfect opportunity. Problem is, when that perfect opportunity comes, im way too anxious to go for it. Its like feeling that my approach has to go perfectly now.

Now, i hate feeling like a beggar. But if i just approach regardless of AIs, i feel more in control. It almost feels like a routine job at some point. I always have some level of AA ofc and still miss some good chances, but i feel it gets way more manageable this way.

Great to see u back in the field! I need to start gaming on saturday evenings too, i feel i might be missing out here.
