This is my first field report. Yesterday, at first, started the day out being pretty down. I just got out of a relationship. I saw my ex out at parties and decided that this wasnt going to stop me. Theres no reason that I should be feeling down. Im young, (I think) good looking, and single. Went.to a different city to visit friends. We all had high energy, drinking, and just visiting with some old friends that I havent seen in some months. I decided then and there that I was going to start my "mansformation". Ive been reading theory and getting my inner game going but i havent put it into practice yet. Why not saturday night? First set I crashed & burned. I think my problem was that I did what 6,000 other guys did that night. Asked the wrong questions. So I took a step back and thought outside of the box. Decided on the "Id kick myself tomorrow if I didnt tell you how cute you are" approach (plus my american accent actually benefits me here). Did that approach on 5 sets and #-closed all of them. Not going to lie it felt pretty good. Now heres where I need your alls advice. One thing I had going for me was my alcohol blanket. I wanna slowly lean off that. Me and my boy are going to go out to a famous tourist spot today and practice. Whats the best way to get off my alcohol blanket? I feel like its good for starting out (liquid courage and all). Thanks guys for all the posts that got me to start this!
