Approach 8 + 3#close (DG)
As I said in my last report, my macro approach-momentum is in a good place, and getting better. Currently, it's fairly simple for me to approach 6+ per session. Ideally, 10+ per session is where I want to be. I could have done it today but a little lazy and wanted to put my attention on the conversations, as this is kind of where my sticking points are at them moment, so let's talk about that real fast...
Where I'm at in my daygame progression after taking years off and getting back into it is I feel like I'm at the point where I can start collecting more numbers, but they have been flaking. What this tells me is the approach and conversation/connection is lacking. Therefore, today I wanted to go out and focus on my conversation while in set.
I decided to abandon the LDM stacking and so many observational statements and just be more in the moment and forget all the rules and try to focus on the conversation and go off that. I think, for me, it was better today for me to do this. I feel like when I'm trying to converse with the LDM model I'm in my head thinking about it, not really connecting on the conversation, on the topics, not really flowing, etc., and the girls can feel that, and it probably seems strange. Instead, when the girl said something I focused on that, what might be interesting about that topic and what I might want to say about it, and where I could add some things related to me about it -- it's hard for me to put into words here, but I guess you can say it's much more natural and not worrying about structure. I try to focus on her and lead when it's needed to carry the conversation. This seemed to work well today and nearly all the girls were planted, and we had fairly long conversations.
I can talk about this forever, but it'll just get convoluted, so I'll try to keep the conversation part there. Essentially, I'm trusting in my conversational faculties. For me, thankfully, I think I already know instinctively when to tease, challenge, story tell, ask questions, etc., because there are clear parts in the conversation that ask for it; you can sense it.
Also, my ability to converse off cold-approach is getting better because my AA is almost gone. Like, today, I didn't really have any AA. I did have some excuses of laziness or "she's not hot enough" or "I don't want to jog after her", but not really being scared of approaching or what to say. The only reason it's this way is because of the work I've put in since February. Momentum is real. Desensitization is real. Progression is real. It all adds up.
Once again, currently, I think I'm entering the phase in my progression where I'm on top of my AA, my approach counts are pretty good, and now I'm in the phase of working on getting solid numbers. This is basically my focus now: conversations, and making numbers more solid. If I can make numbers more solid by having better interactions/connections while in set, I can then focus on dates.
It's great timing too because the weather is warming up and girls bodies are on display, and it's the season for daygame here in the city!
Personally, I think of the 3 numbers I collected today, 2 were somewhat forced, and one was pretty good...
The other thing is going for the number close better--instead of asking for coffee for one of them I just said, we should grab coffee sometime, and while I was saying that I was grabbing my phone as if she was going to give me her number, and it worked. I also persisted more on some conversations, and that led to longer conversations and a number close. So persistence and stronger number closes might be something I'll do more, will see.
