Hey guys, I just want to post some FR's as a means of journal entry for myself and constructive criticism from other sedditors - hope that's okay!

Tonight I was able to practice a slight amount of game, but not much really. I went to a motorcycle show with a bro and his gf, but before they showed up I gamed my first girl

1) Cute short blonde that gave me obvious IOI - she had passed me while I was looking at motorcycles but I caught the ioi, so I told myself I'd approach her if I saw her again. 5 minutes later I see her, introduce myself and chat for a little bit. I tell her she's cute and ask for her number , so i hand over my phone and she enters her WHOLE name, not just first, and her number. I'm like cool, see ya around. I did involve kino in case you guys were wondering. I texted her an hour later and she replied, so that's a good sign so far. I'll ask her for coffee two days later now that she knows who I am.

2nd part, we went to a bar that had dancing but a lot of hip-hop/rap which I do not enjoy. My vibe really changed here, and I cared a lot less about approaching. Saw lots of tall alpha chads, and cared even less. I was literally tired (still am, as i type) and just wanted to have a decent night which is always the goal. So with that being said, I didn't approach anyone except for a ginger who really caught my eye.

2)Ginger - came up to her, said she's cute and i noticed her red hair, she received a phone call during this approach and said "sorry, i have to take this, nice meeting you" - I took it as a double non-receptive response and said see ya. Rest of the night was just so-so since I'm tired and have to be up early. I really just didn't approach anyone , and I wasn't tipsy enough to do it either. Alcohol might have helped but tonight I didn't want to rely on it. I just wanted my bed.

Conclusion : I have less anxiety when I approach but sometimes my mind goes kind of retarded during the approach - at least it did with the first girl. That's why I grabbed her # and bounced, which was good because she seemed receptive as hell. Some girls make my heart beat faster while others don't - I don't get that yet.

At the second venue, I just felt like there was too much competition and I was honestly tired af. I did approach one girl but it got nowhere. And that's okay with me!

Any tips or advice? Thanks guys.
