So here's what so far. I've landed a girlfriend, of sorts, of the past month. She's so far happy with me and understands I date other people, and still wants to see me (and lets me bang her silly). This is good.

I've gotten pretty good at online game. I understand that it's not supposed to be the primary source for meeting women (at least, according to most sources I've read) but it's been the way I've been doing it. I fired up my OKC account again yesterday and quickly lined up two more dates for this weekend. Assuming their pics are reasonably accurate, they're cute and fuckable.

Anyways, when it comes to "meatspace" game, I've made slower progress, but still progress. I talk to girls more in my day to day life. I make a point of starting conversations, and continuing them, and showing interest. It's been fun. It hasn't led to number closes or anything yet... but I chalk it up in part to the fact I often have my kids with me when I'm meeting these women and it's just something I haven't been able to wrap my head around.

Anyways, back to online game. When it came to landing my current girlfriend, it really came down to me practicing some extremely tight game on the first date (again, initially met her on OKC). Kino was perfectly calibrated. I showed interest right away. Conversation was confident on my end. I was the boss. F-close on the second date. Worked out awesomely.

Now I think, can I do this again? I should be able to.

Here's how I have my weekend planned. Seeing my current girlfriend on friday. Extremely high probability that means sex. Then on Saturday I see a girl whom I've so far practiced some great online (text) game on thus far, I have her number which she offered me saying "I hope I'm not too forward," she says "I'm intriguing" and we've done some awesome online banter already. Her pictures are cute, I like her eyes, and we can definitely talk about her work (she's a teacher) and go from there.

Finally, I have a date on Sunday afternoon set up too. Girl is the oldest of the three (five years younger than me). She's cute, also like me is sober so we have that connection. We've done some banter, nothing special, she says I "stand out," anyways, possibilities there.

So that's where it is. I guess with the two new girls I'm going to try and just go with what has worked. Enjoy leading the conversation, find ways to inject good kino escalation into the interaction, and try and kiss them as quickly as I can given whatever IOIs they tend to throw off. I can do this! I've done it before, I can do it again. Words of encouragement appreciated.
