So I've been reading "No more Mr Nice. Guy" by Robert Glover. Really good book, and it made me realize I still have some "nice guy" tendencies, especially when it comes to truly expressing myself. Right now, I'm pretty good at expressing myself and my sexuality, but sometimes I'm afraid to say something because I'm afraid to "lose" or offend the girl, but this survival mechanism, as Robert Glover points out in the book, actually has the opposite effect. Anyway, went out today on Easter Friday. Everyone is on a break for a week, so the whole town is pretty dead. Literally only a few people on the street. I'm trying to stay present throughout all my interactions now, but not filtering my thoughts. Rather just be conscious of them and try to catch any "nice guy" tendencies. My mood/state is rather bored and slightly down, like I have no energy to socialize.
Saw a really cute blonde walking past. I used to just ignore them and made up excuses like "She must be a party girl, and I"m not really into that", but deep down I knew it was an excuse. I walked up to her and told she looks really cute. My voice was clear, but could have been louder. She was thrilled and we only chat for a bit.
The street was too dead I wanted to go home. but saw a girl with a camera walking past. She looks like a tourist. Chatted her up but her English wasn't that good. I talked too much about irrelevant stuff. Should shut up for a bit sometimes.

Saw her crossing the street. Nice body. Caught up to her and told her she looked really beautiful with her red sweater. Things were going well until I zoned out for a second.
Her: "I'm doing health science first year. haha I know...lot of people do it"
Me: "haha yea 80% of people are doing that. So what are you aiming for? Med?"
Her: "hmmmm I"m not sure..."
I zoned out for a second
Me: "oh thats interesting" (I said this reflexively.....As soon as this came out of my mouth.I knew I fucked up. I obviously wasn't listening and too stuck in my head. Why the fuck is that interesting?)
Her: "hmm I don't know."
I tried to change the topic by commenting on her necklace, but I could tell the damage was done.
After that interaction, I remember a video by Liam Mcrae about active listening. If you respond to a girl with something like "oh cool", "Oh that's interesting", then you're really not listening.

this girl was sitting by herself on the grass. I walked past and we made eye contact. She smiled, so I told her she looks really cute with her green dress.
First mistake was sitting too far from her. Her bag was between us. I should have choose to sit on her other side. About 10-15 mins into the conversation, she asked me if I have a gf. I told her I'm not bf material. She looked at me for a second then smiled like she "gets it". Then she shit tests me if I do this a lot. I just ignored her.
I later tried to move her to sit a few meters away under the sun because it was getting cold. She was a bit reluctant, but I just sit there and waited for her to move. She was still a bit far. No improvement. She brought up the topic of sex herself. I can't remember how we got to that topic, but she talked about how naughty she was when she was 15. I should have stayed on that topic, and
relate to her about my own naughty experience in the past. I think that was what was missing here. Fk what the hell was I doing?! I think I told her "You were such a bad girl", then she told me now she wants to be a good girl because of her parents. I told her fk her parents. Be who you want to be. She said she still needs to consider their feelings. I was trying to think of ways to qualify her on being a bad girl, but forgot how. Now that I'm writing this, I remember Chase's article on qualifying - qualify her by
asking questions and relating to her
Now that I look back, I barely relate at all!! We talked for about an hour. She needed to use the toilet, and I told her to come to my place to use it because it's close. She was reluctant, so we said goodbye.
Lately, whenever I tried to move things forward, it feels like a "routine", and I get resistance. Even if the girls get to my place, it doesn't feel "natural."

If you walk up to a girl, and don't screen her at all, and then try to move things forward with her -- it feels like your routine. It feels like you're doing the same thing to her you do to everyone, and people don't like that.
Maybe it's because I'm not qualifying and relating to the girl. I know the girl is somewhat interested, but I was like a salesman doing his "routine" and that put her off.
