I feel kinda unsatisfied with today, it wasn't my best.
It could’ve done better or more. It’s a win regardless, i got 2 solid sets, yesterday i had about 8, so it’s 11 sets. Great wins!
—--------------------------------------------------------------

Goal: 
2 conversations
3 compliments.

What i managed to achieve:
1 compliment
1 compliment/conversation

—--------------------------------------------------------------
Missed set:
I was walking in the same direction as the girl, and her a little bit in front of me and I backed out in order for it not to be creepy. I initially spotted her from afar, and decided to pretend to go into the store and make it back in time. I think i read too much into it. She looked good. 

What i did right:

  • Attempting to open the set.

What i could do better:

  • Open the set by getting her attention. Saying hi how are calmly.
  • Being present, being calm. Notice my immediate environment.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 compliment:
The girl was walking in the direction opposite to mine.
I greeted her, told her she looked pretty whilst walking forward. I didn’t want to stop her, I was fearful. I was scared to stop her and let her know whatsup.She responded with a thank you, i could tell she wasn’t really interested in me which is fine my approach needs work. And we moved forward. I notice I'm less likely to stop or talk to women when other people are around, because I think they may reject me in front of people, which is okay. This was a nice progression, I used to be deeply afraid of saying anything in front let alone greeting them. 

This one might have been a stud with the way she was dressed but still pretty.

What i did right:
-> Opening. Greetings, I've noticed going straight into a comment most times can be disrespectful. It also eases into the opener nicely.
-> Staring into her eyes whilst saying the compliment.

What i could do better:

-> Being more present/i was a bit in my head, she had amazing skin, i could’ve said hey you’re glowing. Then had a convo about skin or something. 
-> Besides that, walking slower a little before, letting her know what's up, being direct with her. Stopping her. Talking to her. Listening trying to visualize what she was saying. Instead of fussing over what to say next.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------
Conversation/compliment:

She was walking in a direction opposite mine. I saw her a bit intimidated, greeted her but she continued walking, complimented her she said thank you, and asked if she was at the gym
She said yes. Asked me back and I said no. Then i quickly said she looked good again. I realize this was investment. 

What i did right:

  • Opening the set. Greeting her and complimenting, she looked cute. I could tell she appreciated the compliment. That’s nice but not really the actual win.
  • Asking her a question i was genuinely curious about

What i could do better:

  • Getting closer to her(we were talking 1 meter apart lol). I notice I'm afraid of showing interest. (sticking point)
  • Behaving calmly/being present. Noticing the environment, looking at her not thinking of what to say.
  • Actively visualize the question.
  • Not rushing to fill in the silence.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I want to focus on next session:

  • Being present/listening in the conversation. It’s something I struggle with in my day to day life, I tend to focus on too many things at once.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m improving, there were times where I thought it was over, but it was just an overreaction. I’m honestly proud of myself for taking action to improve this skill. I will thank myself one day i know it!
Thank you!
