Sorry most of this FR is highlights of failures of the week.

Approach 1: Cute HB6 sitting at a table in a school restaurant. Approach with a direct opener, "Hi, you look cool and I wanted to meet you." Ask to sit down but girl gets flustered as before she was on her iPad watching a show. I sit down, girl still seems to be in shock about my approach so I can't get conversation going. Literally she was omging to herself and smiling uncontrollably. She's still flustered after a minute or two, no biggie, I eject. I'm starting to like the adrenaline rush of meeting people and having fun with it. I wouldn't say it's approach anxiety anymore because I enjoy doing this and I like being social. Random guy in a table five feet away saw the whole thing, I pass by and he offers a high five - big confidence boost and I make sure not to leave him hanging.

Approach 2: See a HB5.5 at a party, direct opener about how she looked like she was having fun and I wanted to meet her. I Isolate her immediately from the beer pong table. Several IOIs - eye contact, fiddling with hair, walks away from friends. Now this is the type of party in an area of school where I expect it to be busted almost immediately so I'm looking for the quickest possible k-close. Also I was drunk, so there's that. I was relieved about being attracted to her the right amount to be C&F and myself. I start to make her qualify herself by first making general talk then asking her about what makes her different and what not. I recognize I haven't built enough rapport but I go for my k-close line anyway. Rejected, of course. Still unfazed, I decide to amuse myself further by trying a Simple PU routine. Now this routine is from a video they used for inner game and I'm sure wasn't meant used seriously. Continuing, 'I happen to be a palm reader, can I see your hand" Shows me hand. "This line here says, you like to get jizzed on your face." Shocked at first but girl starts laughing, I don't get blown out yet. I keep on going, with the second line being saying she likes to get jizzed on her back. I then eject myself and her to my roommate. Later I am with the HB and her friend comes over and I neg her about her jacket and compliment her on smile (Seriously, it was pearly white and heartwarming). She says I look ok and literally says I can kiss her friend. Cops come, I # close when I could have k-closed. That's a wrap.

Super cocky and rude with the SPU routine but I did it because I was 1) drunk, 2) bored, 3) feeling assholey. I will probably never do it again and any newbie reading this - everyone in this sub will tell you not to either. I will admit though by trying this joke routine it helped me to realize how trivial my obsessions over girls' reactions are and that it did help me enjoy myself. Every time I start to have an irrational fear about gaming though this is now one of experiences I come back to, to help me laugh off any embarrassing moments and feeling of insecurity.

Approach 3: See an HB9 at coffee shop. Start to get a bit lost into my head as I look for the perfect thing to say but after five minutes of thinking I just go direct and tell her I thought she was cute and I wanted to meet her. She smiles, immediately initiates me with a shit test as I sit down "I have a boyfriend". I respond back with a witty liner from the sidebar. No go, but she smiles even more at that. After a few minutes of general chatting, I let her get back to work and I leave. Saw her today and she flashed a smile. Next time I'll push further during the same situation by asking the HB for her number anyway. We'll see how that goes.

Approach 4: See a HB7 in class as I walk in late and all the seats are taken up. She is sitting along side the wall at the top of the staircase. I join her. Open with a simple, "how's it going". She talks about being from a rural area, I tease her about it. Generally am just social here and talking to her about goals and stuff for school. Wasn't really thinking about # closing her until later in the conversation where I became increasingly attracted just by her intelligence and voice. Class was nowhere near winding up but she aks for my number anyway and invites me to a study session. Generally I was nonreactive and my vibe was just oozing confidence so I felt like she was attracted. She happens to live near my apartment so I think there's a good chance I will be able to f-close soon. Favorable logistics, good first impression, and will develop rapport this weekend whilst studying.

Most of this week was just a whole bunch of direct openers. Not sure but when I go indirect, it's difficult to develop sexual frame. My confidence is only growing and I'm going to keep sarging. I took a break from studying material because I wasn't using it in the field at first, will be revisiting it soon. For me, qll the material I learned is useless until I developed a sufficient level of inner game, I feel like I have that now and now I can make greater improvements in the field.
