Umm what you are doing is not alpha, it's not mature and not what seduction is for.
You're gaming a girl with a BF, some here might approve, but I believe if you are chasing a girl that has a BF you have no idea what abundance mentality is and what attraction is.
Even if you are trying to get a girl, you've been at this for a month or TWO?? And this is where you're at? Her biting your finger? Again, if I'm putting 2 months into a girl she better be well into biting and sucking on something else.
Being alpha means showing value, it means being the person that others gravitate two, that others look up to. It's not about 'fucking that girl with a BF'.
So here's my advice, re-evaluate what you are doing, and what seduction and being alpha is all about. You should be dating single girls, attracting EVERYONE around you and bettering yourself as a person. Drop this childish shit and become a man.

is it difficult to get all the way up onto that high horse in the morning? look, you don't know the situation. you're putting it in the worst light possible.
1) maybe he's not chasing her. maybe they're friends with the same people and he sees her as a byproduct of being around his friends. maybe the boyfriend is a toolbag.
2) i've gotten less in longer and wound up closing just from being persistent. sure, date other girls absolutely, but that doesn't mean you can't game this girl when you see her.
3) i think what he meant was whether teasing her in the manner he did was "alpha". and i have no idea. maybe it was annoying but whatever - i can get kinda annoying when i'm drunk too. a lotta people do. i just wouldn't worry about it.

this is spot-on, but i don't think there's anything wrong with what you're doing

Thank you. Sometimes I feel seduction looks down on people who are looking for more than just one night stands. What you said is spot on, I always see her in a group setting and her relationship isn't all peachy.
I do try to pickup other girls meanwhile (so as to not put all my eggs in one basket) but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want a relationship with the girl in question here.
I'm usually pretty cool sober but I know I acted poorly last night. I'm just trying to figure out if I should ignore it and move on or address the issue/apologize or whatever.

I gamed a girl with a BF for a couple months. A lot of the stuff he described is similar to the way I was with her. Playful and immature. When we finally fucked after a party, I was hammered drunk and she was sober. Because of a few mistakes I made after the hookup, she's staying with the BF (who doesn't know).
I really don't know if what I did and what he's doing has a high percentage success rate because I am new to game, but it's not certain failure. As for the criticism of it being one-itus, it's not one-itus if you continue hitting on other girls. It's more of a side project.

You should be dating single girls
I'm not into dating. I like meeting and getting to know people. And fucking. But maybe you should be dating single girls. If that's your boat, enjoy the float.
[–]throwawayway -1 points0 points1 point 15 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link
You're right, progress is slow. We've made out once but that's about it. I attribute it to her not wanting to cheat.
Show value, got it. I'm not saying no to any single girls, but I like this girl a little more than I like to admit and I'm playing the game that will get her to leave him for me.
I totally understand the concept of abundance. There are plenty of girls. But I challenged myself to get this one and I'm going to get it. Just like I can't leave a book after reading half of it.

Never underestimate the power of walking away.

Never underestimate the power of standing your ground.
[–]throwawayway 0 points1 point2 points 15 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I'm more inclined to listen to you ThrowawayPUA because you've shown yourself to be successful at this. I don't want to walk away, I want to stand my ground and get the girl.
[–]Lead ModeratorThrowawayPUA 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Let me warn you, don't judge by my performance, it has been pathetic, but improving since I started doing pickup. Do as I say, not as I do. Lately I have spent more time rejecting women than bedding them. But I didn't expect quick successes, when I'm 30 years older than almost all the girls in my town.
That being said, if I don't rely on my own modest successes as a model, I rely on known successful models. I still hold Mystery in high regard, his models are the fundamentals, even if you don't like his style of canned game. One of the best things I saw was a video of one of his seminars, there's an interview where he says (and this is almost word for word) "If a guy can't control his girlfriend, I'll take her from him." Then he also deals with keeping control over your own girlfriend, and says that if she goes with you to a bar or club, and you're keeping such loose control of the set you two are in that she can flirt and chat with other guys trying to pick her up, you basically are handing her to other guys so you deserve what you get.
Now I have repeatedly said that there is nothing wrong with taking another guy's girl. I've done it, decades before I discovered game. I took a girl away from one of my "friends," who turned out to not be a friend at all, and that's how I discovered it. I was a much better man than he was, and the girl and I lived together quite happily for years. And the whole time, she was separated but not divorced. At first they were close, but after they separated, it was a marriage of convenience so she could keep on his health insurance. So you never can tell what's going on underneath the surface. You might be the best thing that ever happened to a girl. You have to believe that could be true, or you wouldn't ever approach ANY girl.

I don't think you are challenging yourself with this girl. It sounds like are you pretty caught up with this one. By challenging yourself with this girl, you are giving a fuck. By not being able to leave a book after reading half of it, you are giving a fuck.
[–]throwawayway 0 points1 point2 points 15 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
What can I do then? I can't purposely not give a fuck. I want to finish the book.
[–]dzy1 0 points1 point2 points 15 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
keep her on as a friend on the side, and go game other girls. Next time you are with her and you start light/medium kino'ing say "don't get the wrong idea, you are just like a friend to me", then go game someone else.
You are showing higher value by not placing her first and you have other girls in your life. When her relationship ends or by her own choice she'll give you the open, don't force it.

funny you would choose a book analogy, when in essence youre now someone whose purposed to read a book youve only glanced the cover and jacket of and is already in someones hands
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 15 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
There's a lot of unnecessarily judgmental comments in seddit lately. It's up to a girl to choose who she's with. There are people who are in relationships because of many reasons, some shitty, some not.
To the op, just have fun. Enjoy your time with this girl, don't take shit seriously. If she's not doing it for you, or you're unhappy, move on. Until then, keep on keeping on. ;)
[–]T3hJ3hu 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
An Alpha does give a shit. Moreso than the majority of people, in fact -- a man just knows which aspects of his life need that attention and which don't. If you give a shit, that means you have passion, something to fight for, respect for yourself, and the ability to take care of business.
It's not that an Alpha doesn't give a shit; it's that an Alpha is resilient and strong when shit is thrown his way. A man knows how to prioritize what's really important in life. He challenges himself to fulfill his goals (getting that girl), but is secure enough in himself to roll with the punches and continue enjoying life after a failure (getting rejected) -- after all, every failure is a learning experience, which only strengthens us as individuals.
It's not that you should carry on as though nothing happened. You learned a lot that night, namely that she's interested but is otherwise obligated. Continue enjoying life and having fun, but use that experience. Try a different approach next time, or maybe just drop her entirely until she's available. A man doesn't spend his life chasing around one disinterested woman; that'll get old for her faster than it will for you, at which point you're just digging your own grave.
Yours is a very sensible answer, so thanks for that. I'll chalk this off as a learning experience and next time be a bit less overly into her.

IMO, the playfulness/immaturity was fine. It's what I do.
Depending what you mean by "in the cutest voice possible," it doesn't sound like she was too pissed off or anything. You probably just took the wrestling thing too far.
I think the main issue is that you didn't really escalate. Ideally, you could've started escalating early, and pushed further. Instead (probably due to the drunkenness), you were just having fun and not realizing all the opportunities to make a move that you were probably given (I've been there many times- I'd bet you were probably still hesitant about it despite the alcohol too).
Otherwise, of course you shouldn't apologize. Don't even bring it up. If she brings it up, more often than not I'd brush it off and keep doing what I'm doing. You can tone down the playfulness a little bit, probably, but otherwise just keep being you. And remember to escalate and caveman that shit when you get an opening.
Lol I will certainly take your advice on hand next time. There were a couple of times when I could've escalated it. I should've kissed her when our faces were close while I was restraining her against the wall, however I didn't because I was pretty drunk and her roommate was watching.
Also, I saw her today and things were cool. I guess I was worrying for nothing.
[–]intjpua 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You're focused too much on this girl. You do give a fuck, and that's why you're failing with her. You need to be bringing other girls into this circle of friends. Alphas have options.
If you wanted to get this one, you'd run jealousy game instead of "following her around like a goofy puppy" game.
Don't get me wrong, people are picking on you for being immature, or whatever, and you are, but not because you're playing with her in this way. Playing like you're a kid, every now and then, is absolutely great game. Shoving a girl is good game. Teasing is great game. Blocking her path is good game. Wrestling is good game. Punching a girl in the arm is good game. But, not all at once, and not when she's not reciprocating. She knows you're flirting with her; it's not a secret that this stuff is flirting. By flirting when she's not reciprocating, you're giving her value and lowering yours. She's worthy of being chased in this story, and you're the lower value guy chasing her.
In short, be cooler. Bring more girls into your mutual monkeysphere. Stop paying attention to her, let her feel what it's like when you're not around. Be awesome when you see her, but be more awesome to other girls. Let her initiate in the future...and then retreat some more. You're going to have to make her chase you a lot at this point to overcome the damage of chasing her aggressively all night, and get back to being someone she's into and might make mistakes with.
What sucks is that a group of us went out to dinner before hitting the bar and I did act much more suave then. I intentionally didn't give her any attention and focused on engaging everybody else in conversation. Even during the first two or so drinks, she didn't have any of my attention. But she wanted it and she was very in tune to what I was saying.
A few drinks later and my eyes were all on her. No will power at all.

you are in the friend zone or the turd zone. occasional playful pushing/teasing is fun, your actions remind of something i'd see at a fifth grade social.
While I agree my actions were completely immature and beneath me, I really don't think I'm in the friend zone with this one.
[–]philosarapter 0 points1 point2 points 15 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 15 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
What was the point of this?
[–]intjpua 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
The point is the same as that of all field reports: To help the guy posting the field report get better, and to give the guys reading the field report a chance to think through what they would do in similar circumstances.
Field reports are not supposed to be "examples of great game", they are supposed to be post mission debriefings, where you can discuss your experiences with peers. Sometimes they'll contain examples of great game, sometimes they'll contain examples of bad game. If you don't like a field report and think it has nothing valuable to offer or discuss, vote it down.
So, what was the point of your comment? Who did it help?
[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 15 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Sure, I'll bite. This isn't a 'mission debriefing.' This is some guy who starts off with a question, then posts a story that is not in any way a report of trying to seduce a girl. It's about his drunken antics that made him look like a fool, to which he then posted about it with the air of IDGAF, whatever. Glad my comment got such a rise out of you, bud. I'll let you borrow my pants so you know how it feels to wear a pair in this relationship.
[–]intjpua 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
His only sin is he's got one-itis, has low self-esteem, and no clue how to be alpha. Most folks here have no clue how to be alpha, and a lot of folks have low self esteem. That's who we're trying to help here, you know?
Your comment didn't get a rise out of me. I just didn't find it to be a valuable contribution to the discussion, and I explained why.
As I said to senator_mendoza: I'm usually pretty cool sober but I know I acted poorly last night. I'm just trying to figure out if I should ignore it and move on or address the issue/apologize or whatever.
[–]throwawayway -5 points-4 points-3 points 15 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
In before you get mad at me for posting this in seddit. Seduction is for picking up women, right? Well, I'm playing the long pick-up game here. Also, I can't really ask this question in /r/RA now.
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 15 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Sounds like one-itis to me. Move on.
There's an element of truth in that.
