My definition of set is talking to a girl for at least 5 minutes for it to be a successful set. I started my journey back in August and Sept. At first I had issues going to the Bars like my anxiety was too high. I did eventually did and started talking.
I vividly remember October 3rd: my very first approach of the night. I said “hi” and… went completely blank. Total brain freeze.

After that, I started doing daily solo improv exercises. Now, I can keep a conversation going, sprinkle in some humor, and even be a little flirty. My trick? Whenever I feel myself going blank, I throw in a push-pull line from my “line bank” to get things moving again.

That said, I still feel like I’m not hitting all the sets I could be. From October 12th until today, I’ve done 75 sets. My closing game? Still dogshit. But that’s what I’m working on.

Progress feels slow, but seeing myself grow from freezing on “hi” to holding real conversations? Feels pretty damn good.
