FR 4/23/18
I’ve been reading /r/seduction since 2011. Since then I’ve been made some major changes to my lifestyle and personality. I’ve been more upfront, honest and social, and interested in the world around me (although I’ve been this way all my life.). And within 4 years after learning and practicing, I lost my virginity at age 22.
I have done cold approaches several times before. But something new I wanted to begin is the 100 set challenge. I need to be more confident and more outgoing when it comes to meeting girls in public and asking them out.
Today was major progress. I went from taking baby steps to taking toddler steps. (kudos to the guy who told me that.)
I’ll link all the post I’ve read that lead me to where I am, in a later post.

The 5 A&O’s I’ve done today:

  1. Girl sitting on one of the couches at the mall. I asked her if there was a charger outlet near her. (this was the first one I did today. It’s not much but it built my momentum.)
  2. Girl shopping in shoes section. I complimented her glasses.
  3. Girl in shoe store. I asked for her opinion on shoes I’d wear to a wedding.
  4. Two girls, by starbucks stand. Hot Latina’s. One had a big ass, wearing a tight dress under a sports jacket. Beautiful smile. I went up to them and simply said “hey, I just want to say cool shoes.” I fucking complimented their style and made their day, then took off proudly. I opened a set of hot fucking Latina’s, I am a boss.
  5. One girl standing outside a shop, I said “that’s a cute necklace.” Then walked away like it was no big deal.

I opened a lot of the shop workers and chatted with them. I shook the hands of maybe 3 or 4 of them, along with asking their name and introducing myself. Personally, I don’t count them in the 100 set challenge because their job is customer service, and they’re obligated to be nice.
There was one girl (worker) in a shop that I passed by, a woman’s shop, and she glanced at me. I turned back and went to talk to her.

I smiled and said hello to at least a dozen people, men and women. Many of them smiled back and said hello.

This is purely noob stuff, but it’s all practice and I’m super confident about where it’s heading. I feel like a total boss after doing this.

What I've learned:

Confidence is purely a mindset: I don't have everything in my life in order. Nobody knows, nobody cares. I walked around, looked at myself in the shop mirrors, smiled and said "holy shit i'm fucking sexy!" Despite me purposely looking not my best.

It doesn't seem like many people actually give a fuck about me doing this. Nobody knows me. Most of the people who i talked to were in a good mood. I made peoples days.

Momentum Builds Up: I started nervous, on the drive there and upon entering. The minutes after I entered I realized I was still alive, and life is short. Fuck it, go talk to the girls. I slowly built momentum with each girl, by just making eye contact and saying hello. After the first few girls, it became much easier to keep going. It was a mix of the adrenaline and excitement over how much fun it is!

It is all a Game. This adventure took my out of my own mind. I became a character in a RL dating game. Pure fun. 10/10 would play again!

This mall I was practicing at was 1 hour and 30 minutes away from me. The reason I went here, from a beginner’s tip I found in another post, was because it was total noob practice and I didn’t want to burn down the area I’m in. I knew nobody at this distance, nobody I know would go to the mall that’s this far. I’m not boss enough to deal with creep-shaming, or embarrassment from rejection.

I will go to this mall only once more to go further in my practice. This experience taught me a lot about cold approaches and being confident. My goal here is not to close or anything, considering I’m not confident enough for that yet, and it’s also to far. I’m not going to meet any of these girls half way for a date. (45 minutes between us? No thanks.) but I will still practice that anyway.
I plan on going to this mall just once more and practice 5 different routines on 30 different girls. I will post another FR on that when it’s done.

Thanks for reading, Seddit!
