Disclaimer: If you're reading this thinking I got out of the friend zone, it didn't happen.

My main goal with pickup is to better myself. More confidence, more social intelligence, and become more charismatic. When I am in college I see the same people every day so they can't really tell when I've become more confident over a month or so.

So this girl I've been friends with since high school and I go out to dinner. No plans on seducing her in any way. I just wanted to be myself because I wanted to see if pickup had given me a deep identity level change that I've always wanted. She and I were super close before I went off to college so if anybody would notice a difference it would be her.

The first thing I tell her is that she looks really good (she's had two kids in the past few years and you can't tell) and she took the compliment very well. Before PU I would compliment in a taking value way, now I do it in a giving value way.

We catch up, regular chit chat, and I don't remember the context of the conversation but I remember two important things she said during our talk. 1. You're more confident now 2. You're more attractive to me. I did not FISH for compliments by saying "Do you think I'm more attractive now?" or "I'm more confident... can't you tell?"

You guys should try doing this. Go meet up with an old friend. See if they notice a change.

I'd like to end this with a quote from TD - "Pickup is not something you do, it's something you are"

TL;DR - Hung out with an old high school friend I haven't seen in a while. She noticed that I was more attractive. I didn't try to be attractive. I was just being myself.
