I've been studying the red pill for a few months now. I feel it really helped me get my life together. I lifted, began eating better, focusing on myself, meditating, etc. I read post after post, a lot of sidebar material, and studied as much as I could for the past few months. Changed my career path to pursue becoming a personal trainer (got really into the lifting portion) and moved back to the city I've wanted to live in most my life. Only thing I have slacking is finances right now but that's only because of a new career, so it'll come in time.

Lately I've noticed on my daily commute that the bus/train can be a decent spot for decent approaches. I hadn't tried myself but there were plenty of HB6-8s almost every time I'd get on a train. Well today was a good day at work and I was feeling pretty hyped. On my way to my last bus I noticed a girl as I approached the door to the station, kinda made eye contact but made sure to hold it as long as she did. We happened to be getting on the same bus I found out when she went to line up for my bus. At this point I still hadn't decided if I was going to approach or flake out like I always do. I noticed she seemed to be looking at me from the corner of my eye while I was texting a buddy. So when we loaded on the bus I decided fuck it, now is as good a time as any to practice.

Bus was pretty empty and she walked all the way to the back and I just followed. She sat down and put her bag in the seat like everyone does on the bus. So I approached and just asked her to move her bag and sat next to her. Opened with a hand shake and asked for her name. I then asked her if she worked out because I noticed she was stretching while waiting for the bus. She explained she didn't at the moment because school. I changed the subject back to fitness, because that's my passion and found she does parkour. Then I tried to kind of guide the conversation and let her talk about what she wanted, very open ended questions. Got back to parkour and I made a comment about how we'd have to trade parkour coaching for personal trainer sessions. Then asked for her number and told her I'd let her know when I have some free time to set the lessons up.

Reflecting on the whole experience I feel I did okay. I probably could have approached right when I saw her first, but once I get more comfortable I think timing will come with ease. I don't think it was really appropriate to escalate much further considering I was on a bus and wasn't trying to do anything tonight because I have work in the morning. I did read a post earlier about nicknames and I think I'll implement that technique when I inevitably hit her up this weekend when I'm free. Definetly felt good to just get out there though. I've never been the guy who can just go up to someone and truly try to get to know them unless I have a motive which typically shows. But this girl I just said fuck it, let's see what happens. Had a cool chat with some girl I may get some parkour lessons and sex out of.

Mainly posting this for myself to look back over and analyze the situation. Any advice I didn't catch would be awesome. Maybe this post could be useful for new readers to know that there is a point when things start to work out. It's a process but if you lift, and focus on improving yourself you'll get to that ideal you.
