What's up gang? I'm a very long time lurker (on and off), unsure if I've ever posted here before. Definitely haven't since 2015 at the very latest. In any case, I'm here to document my journey as I set out to approach for 30 days straight.

A little background: I've had sex and girlfriends before. I've been reading about game since 2012ish, never really did much approaching since then except for a few months in the summer of 2016. I met someone I really liked in the third month, then stopped. Before and after that stint I relied on tinder and meeting people through my social circles. I always did relatively well. Never had dry spells that lasted too long. Although I wasn't doing too many cold approaches, I applied a lot of what I learned into tinder girls/social circle girls. I've definitely come a long way since I started, but I know I am capable of soooooo much more.

A little context as to where I'm at now: I'm a 23 year old male. I would consider myself good looking. I work out 4-6 times a week. I make good money, and drive a nice car. I talk to everyone except the really hot girls that I want to. I decided to quit drinking this past year and have been completely sober since NYE 2017. No substances whatsoever. I also didn't jerk off for the first 5 and a half months of the year. Now I do once a month. I'm currently the most confident I've ever been in my life besides that summer in 2016. But this is definitely more stable confidence. In short, my inner game is rock solid.

I've been almost constantly thinking about the fact that I haven't completed the challenge since I found it over two years ago. That's a lot of regret if you ask me. Too much to carry around anymore. So this weekend I decided, fuck it. I'm never going back again. I haven't had women in my life since December (kind of). And a lot of that has been intentional. I realized I needed to find myself in the first few months of the year so I abstained on purpose. But when May came around and I was ready to get back into it, I had nowhere to go. I went on two dates with a girl last month. She was easily the most attractive girl I've ever been out with. Incredibly beautiful, just so hot. The first date went well, ended with a kiss, but I did not physically escalate at all in the second date and friend zoned myself. Necessary wake up call, if it had worked out I would never have been able to do the 30 days of approaches. I never would've changed my life in that sense. I would've just stumbled into a comfy relationship. And that's the last thing I need right now. Shoutout to the universe for helping me blow it. I couldn't be more thankful.

The goal: approach girls every day for 30 days. Pretty straightforward. In 2016, I was only able to do that stuff with alcohol. BUT, those were 100% the best times I've ever had in my life. I look forward to doing that again. Mastering the art of social dynamics. Walking into any room and leaving with a bunch of new friends, potential romantic partners, potential business partners, mentors... etc. The list is fucking endless. Girls are such a small part of this equation at the end of the day. Sure that's a cool part of it, but it goes much deeper.

Day 1:

I got to the mall and sat in the car laughing to myself. I decided I'd let the song finish (defeated no more - Disclosure) and then I'd get out. I thought about how I had no fucking choice but to send right now. I made the concrete decision that I'm never going back to my old life. I won't. I can't. I got out of the car as the song ended and headed for the doors. Immediately I saw a girl on the bench and I walked up and shot my shot.

I told her that I thought she was cute and that I was here to hit on her. She laughed as I introduced myself. I asked what she was up to, she told me she was on her lunch break. I asked where she worked, Apple. "Is it everything you thought it would be?" Idk what she said to that. "This is quite the interview huh?" realizing I was asking a lot of interview style questions. She laughed and said "At least you're asking the right questions". I told her about how I was doing a new thing talking to random girls, pushing myself out of my comfort zone, etc. She applauded me and said how it's a weird thing to do now that everyones just uses these all the time (she pointed to her phone that she was using). "Is that what you're up to right now?" "No, I'm online shopping!" she giggled. I forgot where the rest of the conversation went, I mentioned how I used to work at a mall and cracked a few jokes. She was smiling and laughing a lot, I could tell she liked me, I wasn't all that into her, and I left without asking for her number or a date.

I'm not mad about the way that went. In this stage of the game I really only give a shit about shooting shots. If I approached I won. She could tell me to fuck off and die and I'd be happy as a clam. I walked around the mall and there actually were not a lot of opportunities. I know it would be good to do for the practice, but I have a weird thing about approaching girls I don't think are cute. I can work on that later. I had a few more chances but didn't shoot. I flirted with a couple of older women indirectly, but that's about it for the day.

Day one went well. Tomorrow's challenge is instead of 1 I have to approach three girls in total. Hope you guys enjoyed this. Please comment any feedback or criticism from the readers perspective.

UPDATE 9/11/18

Hey all. I'm sure some of you have been wondering what happened. Likely not anymore because it's been so long. I didn't finish (obviously). I still plan to do this. I'm moving to NYC shortly and have decided to try it there. Where I live it's simply too inconvenient to get in front of people every day. Sorry to disappoint. I'll be back promise.
