So there is this girl who started working at the same place as me. One day I caught her checking me out, so I decided I'd approach her before the end of my shift. (This was before I started studying PU) So I just went up to her and asked her if she wanted to cover a shift for me. Talked to her for about 2 minutes, and using work as an excuse asked her for her number. She gave it to me, during the conversation I didn't use any seduction/attraction techniques. I simply talked to her, teased her and made her laugh. She agreed to take my shift, so I already got something from her. I wasn't thinking about sex, just about getting to know her. It was my birthday that weekend so we made plans to meetup but didn't end up meeting up. A few days later we went to play pool, it went horribly. I didn't have much to say, just asked her about her life, school and family. The regular boring shit. For the next few weeks our schedules didn't work so we didn't meet up at all. I kept asking but she either flaked or wasn't free. A week after I started studying text game, she asked if I wanted a ride home late one night. I went alpha on her (I never did before) telling her to pick me up and all this. When she picked me up I just manned up and kissed her. We stopped outside my place and started making out, before I knew it she was on top of me. But she had her period so I couldn't F-close. After I realized how easy she was, I changed my mindset completely. I was turned off by her for a while. Stopped texting her, when I did it was short answers. The usual playing hard to get. And it worked like a charm. She wouldn't leave me alone, to the point where I wanted her to tell her to fuck off. We went out next time to a bar with co-workers. I didn't ignore her at first, ( I wasn't in the mood to talk to her that night) but then walked away and flirted with another co-worker for a while. She got jealous and told her friend, to tell me to kiss her. So me being drunk I did. Ended up in the washroom with her and no condom. Couldn't F-close again. Again after that happened went back to being short and not talking to her. I was out last night and needed a ride home so I texted her, she was busy. But she said she wanted to hang out tonight. So I went out to meet up with her, met in the mall parking lot late in the night. She drove up beside my car, and I pounced on her. Didn't let her speak at all, just started making out, threw her in the back seat and F-closed. Point of this is that you mindset dictates everything, and what you learn will definitely help. Once I got her number, and proved to myself I could escalate it. I lost complete interest, and stopped trying. Once I started studying I learned a lot of course, mainly about text game which helped in this situation. I applied it and voila, did what I was unable to do with several girls previously. TL:DR: Met a girl from work, wasn't making huge progress before I started studying. Once I started applying what I was learning, I managed to F-close in 2 weeks. And only 3rd time being alone with her outside work. This was my first post on reddit/seddit so it's probably pretty bad.
