Background: I started reading and ingesting red pill philosophies a while ago. Lifting, meditating, a little bit of traveling, and a whole lot of reading, although I was always too afraid to approach. After nearly 3 weeks of NoFap, cutting off porn and unfollowing Instagram baddies, I went to DTLA for a few hours and attempted to at least say something. I have no wings or friends that are involved with Daygame, which made this extremely difficult. I also wrote down my thoughts immediately after each encounter. Hopefully, this can relate to newcomers out there and I can look back on this in the future. Don’t expect anything amazing.

Girl 1:

First girl was at the train station. She seemed a bit older (I’m 22) but holy fucking shit, she was wearing the tightest green dress and had the curviest figure. I admit I was intimidated. Legitimately thought she had to be a stripper or something. The only reason she’s included here is because she walked past me twice (towards the trains and then back. I guess she was a little lost) and I caught myself staring at her. In hindsight, I could have indirectly opened her by asking if she’s lost to at least warm up.

Girl 2:

After arriving at LA, I shared eye contact with this cute girl walking past me. I still can’t tell the difference between a quick glance and an actual IOI, but she sped past me and the weasels kicked in. “She’s too busy” I thought to myself. I stopped and gave a quick look back, then continued walking away. In hindsight, I wanted to stop her, but even now I know I’m deathly afraid of doing the stop.

Girl 3: (1:25pm)

Definitely the highlight of today. Went to Starbucks because it was godamn hot outside and I needed a drink. Chatted up the two cashiers who were cute and cheeky. After loosening up, there was a dreamy Spanish chick drinking by herself. She definitely looked like a business woman or a fashion designer. I drank my strawberry tea shit that the cashiers recommended and went to talk to her.

“Hey, I know you’re probably busy right now—“

“Oh no I’m not busy at all”

Her eyes lightened up.

“Oh haha well it just seemed like it. But anyways I just wanted to say that you look lovely.”

“Thank you, that’s so sweet of you”

Can’t remember the whole conversation but I gave a compliment and walked off. I was surprised by how well it went down. Even though I had sunglasses, I held eye contact and kept a slow, low, commanding voice. At this point, I began documenting the time as well. In hindsight, I could have asked for her name.

Girl 4: (1:39pm)

Now this time, I’m sure she gave an IOI. She was cute, and I actually did turn around and began walking towards her. But she seemed speedy, the weasels kicked it, and I walked away. Lo and behold, I ran into her again sometime around 1:51pm, but from a distance (I didn’t walk past her like last time). I loosely followed her into the mall. She was still walking fast as fuck (walking down the escalators) and was carrying some giant white piece of paper. I lost interest and ended up in the mall, to relax and charge my phone.

Girl 5: (2:40pm)

I requested a Lyft to take me to The Grove, a giant mall. Whilst waiting, a cute girl sat behind me and I went for it.

“Excuse me, this is a bit random but I think you look really nice”

“Okay” she said as she turned her head.

Did the walk of shame back and waited for my lift. Maybe she just wasn’t into me. Oh well. I’m alive.

I walked around The Grove a bit and there were hot girls everywhere, but something about being at the Mall by myself made me uncomfortable. I abandoned ship, walked towards Sunset Blvd, Lyft’d back to the train station and went home.

Takeaways: Thinking about doing the approach is scarier than actual doing it. Even with Girl 5, although it stung, I felt fine and happy that I went for it anyways. I do regret not saying at least something to some of the others, and there were tons more that I could have gone for. These were just the 5 that I, at least seriously considered going for. Oh well, baby steps.
