There's a quote I enjoy that's paraphrased like "be gentle and understanding with other people but be a harsh master to yourself". Something like that
Not sure what keys are but I got one date
As for windows, haha I got lost in conversation again so it very well could be possible that I missed a window or two
However I did attempt to get her outta there after one more game (like two minutes later so it didn't look like I was being reactive) when she wanted that kiss
I was bursting at the seams and it was the first place I saw. It did cross my mind to try and pull her into the bathroom with me. But I was in pain
You don't understand how much water I needed for this date after walking around for like 5 hours (nothing worse than being too dehydrated to get it up, ask me how I figured that one out lmao)
Side note, I need to stop posting when I'm in pain. My legs still hurt from yesterday
This is a massive oversight.
No wonder you're having a rough time.
Your Macro Problems
1. You're not measuring your successes and failures. You have no rubric you (using a flimsy one).
2. You're not using the rubric to elevate your future interactions.
3. You accept the initial notes thoughts jotted down without examination and refinement.
Issues that have slowed me down as well. Even if you credit this to luck break down the factors/decisions that aided/thwarted you. If you want it you have to distill this into a science and skill for a time.
What I've Done With These Problems
Problem 1. You're not measuring your successes and failures. You have no rubric you (using a flimsy one).
Answer. For me I had to drop ego and see how patchwork I am. Nowadays I'm focusing solely on trying to get results with Gunwitch's
SMMA and Chase's
One Date (some have complained about the video. Just skip it to get to the purchase page.) Using these I have a tool to put up against my approaches and interactions even passively and without FR's, but with an FR I'm guaranteed to start piecing things together with my rubric.
Both are flexible and focal system meaning your seductions can be very different within them, but you also could go pretty much straight routine game, provided you are abiding by the ideas within them and are smart with their use.
Now I have many rubrics. Some mix better than others. If I get bored with one or need to get a tighter pinpoint of something I can move. Here's my December catalogue of rubrics and formats for FR's and how my brain thinks about seduction from a process, art, science standpoint.
Whats up guys, Small intro about myself. I live in Texas. I've been reading Girlschase material for the past 10 years, started cold approaching legitimately 4 years ago. I've been with about ~70ish women, evenly broken down between day game, night game, online game, and social circle (hostels...

I also want you to check out off the top of my head.
Skippy and Kvothe
They write some of the best FU, FR with the most utilization.
Compare their writing about L's or let downs to ours...it's awesome and informative stuff as opposed to "Woe is me. This is taking a long ass time...fuck."
I very much so urge you to get a rubric.
Whether Bacchus's 3 leg chair ( 3 keys from SMMA Social frame, sexual escalation, emotional stimulation.)
Teevster's A-Z seduction view (Preopener, open, hook, isolation, extraction, close.)
Chase's blah blah blah YOU GET IT.
Find it and get it going. So worth it. My approaches hook so much better and problems are solvable sometimes on the very next approach as opposed to thinking about it all night in the fetal position cursing god for not delivering me yet another big titty milf :').
Problem 2. You're not using the rubric to elevate your future interactions.
Answer. For me it's more of an emotional decision than a logical decision not to dig in. CBT and little wins has helped me breakthrough it, but admittedly writing and thinking over interactions I am way less than satisfied with or even outright despise is not a fun past time for me. Failure, shortcomings, losing is a necessary but unsavory experience for me.
A. Practicing gratitude.
B. Breaking down the value system of whoever is judging me. Seeing if I still care when it's put towards its extreme. Both mine and theirs. Because mostly you're judging yourself and in your head. People aren't as in-depth thinking about you as you'd think. All people are self conscious, but they are not equally as locked in as we are. Dudes learning seduction, social skills, and really any skill/goal indepth run into things some will never experience. Hard to realize when you're in your own head...like your whole life.
C. Reframe like a motherfucker then act. I'm not big on inner game. I find it woo woo admittedly, but there is no denying state and cognition effect behavior and thus results. I'm still working on this part admittedly, but exercise and little wins have helped.
Problem 3. You accept the initial notes thoughts jotted down without examination and refinement.
Answer. Wanna know why I really am enjoy Kvothe's, Bacchus, Skills, Lobo, really any gamer who does this one thing???
Links.
That small effort showcases they didn't accept their first inclinations without exploration and really trying to nail it down.
Everything you run into infield or with game has been written about 1 million billion times sometimes with with different terminology but the same concept essentially.
Example.
AFC = PUA Lingo
Beta = Redpill Lingo
Normie = Nerd Lingo
May or may not be right but you get the point right? But gradually start finding the lingo for what you are looking to accomplish and or who you are trying to communicate with and you'll be in great shape for many reasons that are off topic rn, but lmk if you're interested.
but anyway let's use something you wrote as an example of examining and refining.
Here's brief examples and imagine this is you looking at this (preface that everything you think and have written has been talked about and explored a bajillion times. Keep searching for where. It's way easy now with google.)
1.
God damn... words cannot express how utterly defeated I feel after today lmao
Hypothetical Regal: Hmm quite the reaction
Maybe I should look into dealing with failure.
Teevster's momentum and did the game drop me article might be good
*You search it see what you find*
Hypothetical Regal: Oh this TRE CBT thing looks cool...
*couple hours later*
Hypothetical Regal: Oh wow I really do run into that problem quite a bit...what a nifty solution. NOICE!
2.
Went out approaching. Had a girl that I approached for like 30 seconds because she was waiting on another date. Got her number, told me to text me if she needed saving from her date. Texted me an hour later. Meet for drinks. Two hours later I finally get us out of there. Stop to use the restroom on the first floor of her apartment building. She leaves and goes to her room. I already know that I fucked up at this point. Hear her and the roommate she has talking.
Hypothetical Regal: Some sketchy decision making near the end. Seemed to be going well...
Could I have made her watch some of my stuff really quickly as compliance?... hmm
Let's focus on my decisions
*Google search*
Oh shit Teevster has an excellent article series on calibration and decision making. WOW.
*Couple Hours Later*
They were arguing a little bit. After thinking back she may have been drunker than I thought, but I only saw her drink like three
Hypothetical Regal: HMM this is important
She's arguing with her roommate which could most definitely drop state, plus she might be slightly drunk with a stranger to her roommate...
That's random...maybe I should look up dealing with random things. Could I have pulled her somewhere else that nullified this risk? Did I know she had a roommate?
*Google search*
Oh shit Teevster has an awesome series on wildcards and logistics
Skills also talks about screening and Chase has some cool tips to prevent these things
WOWOWOW.
Not sure what keys are but I got one date
As for windows, haha I got lost in conversation again so it very well could be possible that I missed a window or two
However I did attempt to get her outta there after one more game (like two minutes later so it didn't look like I was being reactive) when she wanted that kiss
Hypothetical Regal: Idk what keys are...
*Google search with girlschase*
WOW that's a lot of people writing about this! Must be useful or something.
Also I'm a little unsure of the windows thing.
*Google search*
Oh shit articles on buying temp, escalation windows, and signs of horniness
Plus someone escalation tips
WOWOWOWOW.
(Mist: Also not sure if that fractionation was useful or not...from my understanding at high temp you are allowed to break some rules move faster. In fact she wants it, but while building/sustaining fractionation is potent. Weird decision imo but back to Hypothetical you.)
2 hours, shoulda been less at the place but when I suggested we take a walk she needed up getting that last beer that took like a half hour lol
Hypothetical Regal: I wonder why she resisted the pull? Was I overeager and jumped too early with buying temp...was it token resistance....could I have plough.
Was she bored, scared, needed more comfort? What was the resistance?
*Google search*
WOWOW
Tons of articles on persistence and resistance.
I really like Teevster's.
(Mist: Ok at this point I sent you can see I'm pretty bad at writing hypothetical you on this journey to breakdown the interaction haha.

Edit: also, just to test my thoughts, I did go back to the park and approached more there. I looked for women who were dressed normally (or even up a bit) and women who were dressed in yoga pants and workout looking shirts
But again, I gotta stress, neither group is working out. They're not running or even power walking or nothing
The dressed crowd seem to do better, so I guess that's progress lol
Also realized why a lotta guys are liking older women based on one of Chase's newer articles about women needing reasons to have sex (and older women not needing as many reasons). Older women around 30 absolutely love a direct approach in my experience. The younger ones not so much
Not sure if that's just me, if that's just because of the vibe I've used or what's going on there. More testing is required
Ok no more hypothetical you.
I challenge you to make this real.
What happened here? What rubric are you using? What are you going to search in relation to this?
Are you interested in target selection/easier vs harder sets, better open-hooks, fundamentals, Vibing and meeting smoother?
This is all for you though. Maybe if she’s responsive you’ll get her based off what you know now, but this analysis is for macro level success. Not an excuse for oneitis…far from it
Might not get it from her, but you’ll get it from somewhere and your XP with her will have helped. (Stole that from Ricardus movie reviews while doing exactly what I am telling you.
Figure it out
LOOK AT ME-LOOK AT ME
You are the captain now
