Preface: So I've been doing this for exactly 4 weeks now and during my 4th week I've noticed that my sets for some nights are just terrible. Maybe my standards are higher now but regardless it kind of feels like I was plateauing and even regressing. I think I was regressing a little bit because I got too comfortable. I started just going through the motions and just doing sets to get my reps in without really trying 110%. I noticed that my present in the moment mindset and eye contact diminished a bit so I rectified this during the latter half of the week.

I'll had multiple sets with decent number closes but I'm just gonna write about the reunion set which resulted in a close.

Set:

  1. Asian girl with her group of friends. She seemed very familiar. I instantly remember who she is. We met through friends in college 9 years ago. We weren't necessarily friends. More like acquittances at best or just someone I knew by extension of my friends at the time. We never hung out, texted, or did anything. I always thought she was cute but I knew she had a BF at that time. Anyways, I approach her and open. Basically, I ask if she was X and did she go to Y for college. It takes her a minute but she eventually remembers who I am.Initially I wasn't really trying to game her because I thought it was just really cool that we met again after all these years. I always liked reunions. Good to catch up with people after almost a decade. We were talking and she seemed hooked so I decided to step up my game. We talked about a variety of topics. I did alot of teasing and push pull which definitely established the premise. This was not a platonic interaction. She gave me ALOT of shit test which I think I passed. She actually did the physical escalation on me by touching my shoulders and arm but I think that's just how she is. Since she did the physical escalation, I decided to reciprocate and intensify it even more. I put my arms around her shoulder, held her hands very briefly, held her waist, talked with our faces really close to each other. No kiss though. I could tell she wasn't gonna do anything more, especially in front of her friends (this is where good calibration helps alot).Based on her body language, her behavior at the club, and our conversations, I calibrated that she was a girl that requires alot of comfort. I started the interaction with a very mild amount of comfort because we knew each other in college, but I knew I would need to build far more comfort in order to go any further. Basically, she's not a party girl and she was dragged by her friends to the club. With that said, I talked and flirted with her for like an hour. We exchanged numbers and agreed to hang out the next day. Now, I did try to pull and proposed getting a drink elsewhere where it's not as loud and going outside, etc. She declined all of my proposals because she was adamant about not leaving her friends.I wake up and text her to schedule a date over drinks at a bar. We arrive at the bar and basically just talked for 3 hours. Talked and flirting of course. Alot of push pull, teasing, verbal escalation. We talked about some personal stuff which I think is quite important when it comes to building comfort. Very mild physical escalation like touching of the shoulder and arms. I didn't feel like I could have escalated any further such as making out in public. I could sense that she wasn't that type of girl. After the bar, I told her to come to my place to hang out. I used an excuse so there's plausible deniability. Remember, girls dont like to feel like sluts. So we're at my place now and I try to escalate further by kissing and making out. It takes a while to escalate. There was alot of foreplay and flirting in between. Oh yeah, she gave me more shit test while at my place which I think I passed? Tbh, Im not expert at shit tests. After alot of foreplay, flirting, and some more shit test, we have sex. It was great, she had an amazing body. I took her home afterwards like a gentlemen and we agreed to hang out again soon. Overall, great fucking date!

Conclusion: I think my 4 weeks of pickup definitely contributed to my success with this girl. I was never bad with girls but I really didn't have as much knowledge as I do now. Also, the initial approach was something I never did. Before my first day of pickup, I had a tremendous amount of approach anxiety and never did cold approach. Without pickup, I would not have been able to meet her again.

Precise concepts that I utilized well were push pull, teasing, verbal escalation, establishing premise without intent/neediness, physical escalation, logistics and most importantly CALIBRATION. I can't stress the importance of calibration. Calibration is what separates cool guys vs creepy dudes in my opinion. A guy is creepy to a girl if he makes her uncomfortable. How do you make a girl uncomfortable? You miscalibrate the set and escalate too quickly.

As always, pickup related feedback is appreciated.
