Hello! I'm brand new to these forums, but I've been reading Chase's articles for about a year now. I decided to make a journal here because I thought it was time for me to make a move and start applying the things that I'm reading - take some action, and quit sitting back in the bleachers.
A little bit about myself. I am 16 years old, and have been living in the US for my entire life. I've always been naturally shy, but I've been slowly changing that over the course of high school. I've had a total of 1 girlfriend, not counting other non official things that I've been through. Even though I'm making progress, it's at a turtle's pace. That's why i'm making this journal to sort of force myself to start making some real noticable progression.
So I thought I would start this journal off with last night, which was sort of my first time approaching "officially" you could say...
FRIDAY
Me and some friends were watching some pickup videos on Youtube, of some pretty crazy, pretty inspirational stuff! We got really pumped and decided to go out and approach some women. So the five of us hopped in the car and drove down to a nearby college. I know this is a bad place to approach considering our age, but we really didn't have many other options at the time. When we drive by to scout it at first, one of my friends spots a pretty cute girl, I'd say about a 7. He quick dashes out of the car and approaches her. We drive around the block to pick him back up, turns out he snagged a number from her!
We park a few blocks off, then get out to start circling the campus. It's pretty late, but there's plenty of girls out and a few parties we probably could've BS'd our way into, but couldn't because of time constraints. We walk, and spot two cute girls sitting on a bench about half a block up. Same friend from before approaches both - they're smoking some cigs, about 6 and 7 respectively; we walk ahead of him and let him catch up later.
Walk down the block some more, I see two cuties walking in my direction in short, black dresses. I chicken out on the approach, I'm just too scared right now and I have to push myself to make the first approach. I spot three girls walking across the street and decide it's time to get over my fear once and for all. I walk by, and say, "you all look gorgeous!" I know it's not the best for an approach, but I had to say something to get in the zone.
We make a loop around the block, then head back in the direction of the car. I spot two more girls standing by the corner. I quickly break off of my group and engage them from the side. "Excuse me, but you two are both incredibly cute. My name is Jake." I then hold out my hand and ask for both oftheir names. Two more girls walk by about a second later and I ask for their names as well. One of them complements me on my hair. I thank her, and then bow out to head back to my friends.
All four of us decide to talk to some groups of girls. We make some cheesy statements that don't lead anywhere. On our way to our second loop, I basically rinse and repeat my previous opener to two more girls. They seem extremely flattered, but I don't take it much further than that.
After a few more mediocre approaches, we start talking to these two girls, which is really where I felt some social tact.
We introduce ourselves, and they start to talk to us for a minute. Both really cute, 7's I'd say. One of my friends lies and says we're juniors in college. I facepalm in my head, and just start to listen to the conversation. Eventually, they turn out away from us, and start having their own conversation. Rude. Four MORE cute girls walk into the set, and then make a completely seperate circle from us. I then say, "So, you gonna' introduce us? Or..." after that, one of the girls turns and introduces herself to us. I think it was a good use of social pressure. After that, we eject, seeing that it's not leading anywhere. We head back to the car and head home.
Seeing as those were some of my first approaches, I think I did pretty well. Some things I need to work on: logistics. Terrible place to actually game at our age. Most girls were 3 years older than us. Still possible, but not likely. Two: I need to continue with conversation and initiate deep diving. My openers had decent reactions, but I just didn't follow through. Three: better use of social pressure when girls cut you out of their circle. I could use some real help on that one.
Anyways, I feel like that was enough for one day, so I'll get back to this when I have some time to approach - maybe I'll do some at school!
