I've done some warm approaches in the past but never any real cold approaches. So during a standardized test I noticed this cute chick (HB8) sitting across the room from me. When we had a break, I saw her alone and nearly backed out, but eventually decided to just go talk. I opened indirect and didn't have any AA. Had a chill convo with some light flirting before we had to return to the room. Started doing a few gestures to her in between sections to create this kind of exclusitivity vibe. At the end, I reinitiated a quick convo before asking for her snapchat (which I recommend for interactions with less rapport) which she granted happily.

Have had some good little flirty conversations on SC with her so far, just making sure not to overgame (this is important) because I believe in my inherent value as a funny and attractive guy. I used to always feel I had to try hard to impress, and never reply immediately or double text, and to that I say, fuck that. I've built a lifestyle where I legitimately don't have girls as my main focus, and that's manifesting itself in natural non-neediness. In the past I may have been discouraged and started going full chode if she took too long to respond, but now I just wait and eventually she reinitiates the convo. Even though I've been in a drought recently, I find myself more proud of the fact that I've gotten to the point where all of these attractive behaviors come naturally, than the fact that it's working. All the rejections and all the pain yet I still pushed through, and now I'm developing a strong natural game, results or not. Keep pushing fellas, we will get there.
