Went out to the Promenade area in Santa Monica. Had a little warm up convo with a dude in Cafe Cielo while /u/kennotheking got some coffee. As we exited and headed towards the pier, a blonde came out of a building in front of us. I could have complimented her on her all black ensemble and opened that way, but I didn’t. :|

Not a fan of the pier. To keep warm, I complimented a girl from afar and said hi to a lady’s dog while she was on the phone.

Back on the promenade, asked a girl what food she had in a to-go box.

Then I did a real approach. What happened was I saw a hot blonde from across the Promenade. Taller than me, hot, and an almost-certain rejection, but we were being chode as fuh, so I had to do something. So I walked across the thing to where she was. She was stationary at first, checking her phone, but she got a destination before I could get to the other side and bolted off. Now I walk pretty fast, as my wings always say, but this girl was on a mission. There was another girl walking alongside, so I switched to her instead. Looked more doable for me too--shorter, more like “hip” as opposed to just “hot white girl”.

I opened with “hey excuse me--I like your look and I wanted to say hi”. She was very receptive. Unfortunately, she turned out to be a teenager--braces and all. I said “wait a minute, how old are you?” and she said “16”. I said “well, you’re dismissed”. She was like “wait what why?” I was like “be on your way, stay in school” and walked away. Was happy to do an approach.

Had a convo later with a girl who had her cat on a leash. I opened that one very naturally, no mental delay. I was like “cat!(?)”. Conversed about cats a bit and then I transitioned to her life. Her face and eyes were very engaged, but she did not reciprocate conversationally, so I let that one be.

As we headed back to our cars, there was a girl outside of a bookstore I could have opened. It was a failure not to open her. I think I was patting myself on the back too much for what I did accomplish. I need to go out with specific goals for daygame the way I do for night game. Not bad for a first session though, I suppose.

On a higher level, there was definitely a time a month or two ago where my identity was shifting to being someone who just approached all the time and was quite outgoing. I got that kind of feedback from girls, so it was a positive feedback loop. What I want is to start that identity-shift again. For example, the other night in WeHo, Ken and I were leaving, with him driving, and a hot girl walked by alone. I want to be the kind of motherfucker who gets out of the car and chases a hoe down in that situation. I don’t want to necessarily be that kind of guy forever, but I think when one is learning game that’s a good way to be. I want to remember the two approaches I failed to do today as leverage for the next time I daygame. I am sure I will eventually be as comfortable approaching during the day as I am now at night.
