Skip to bottom for TDLR / Question

Background: Younger than 21, no rotation (fixing through cold approaches) , $14/hour part time, have multiple hobbies and gym routine. I have been spending time in the field approaching and trying to build my set, as well as trying to improve myself. My next targets are speaking even slower and opening taller girls.

I don’t have my life mission down yet but I know what I’m going to pursue as a career. I already found my passion as well (not related to career).

Field Approach: In the past week, I hit 8 approaches. I got 3 numbers (Girl 1: HB4, HB4.5, HB6) and I’m setting dates with them. Got 2 no’s (these girls were HB4.5, and Girl 5: HB7). The HB4.5 was an older woman like 34. I just wanted to get an older girl for fun but she hit me with the “omggg. I can’t ! *raises hand.” I would’ve pushed but I’m confused with how to deal with girls on their relationships.

One of the girls I opened (girl 1) said she had a boyfriend and a easily passed her shit test with a “I’m not asking to marry you” and she opened easy. This other girl HB7 hit me with the same line after some small talk. After she told me where she lives, I said I live at x. She said “Wow. Yeah I do know that place. *says in a lower tone that’s still audible “that’s not that far from my place”. I pushed for the closing and used the same “I’m not looking for a marriage” line but she said her boyfriend was really strict. She said that he doesn’t allow her to have male friends (good boundary for them). She offered her instagram instead and I said nah. I don’t know if in this case I should’ve pushed even further.

The last 3 I fumbled because it was a group approach. I nailed the opener, had the attention but I got too drunk (mistake I paid for). I guess they noticed and stopped giving me too much attention. I just left them, sobered up and dipped from the party.

My goal:

I want to be able to keep improving my game and get a few plates but I don’t want to spend too much time on it. Money and the foundation matter more to me

TDRL: I want to keep learning the art of game but don’t want to over consume it or get rusty.

Question:

How often do you guys approach per week ? How often do you go out per week ? Is it worth spending a significant chunk (60 hours) working and minimizing going for girls at a younger age ?
