Tuesday - 15/09/2015 So I direct opened a cute English girl today. I opened with "you look adorable". I transitioned with "let me guess, you're a Uni student". To which she corrected me that she was a back packers. I teased her about something (I forgot what exactly) and she told me the story of how she is only here for 2 more weeks because she did the 3 months of work to get the year extension but when she put in her application they said "sorry, that guy has been signing people off without doing the 3 months so we don't trust him". At that point she said I have to go and meet my friend but (gestures for my name) it was nice meeting you and thanks for the compliment.

Wednesday - 16/09/2015 I saw a girl come out of a store and I went for it. Looking back I could see that I was in the mode of action and not even thinking. Thinking clearly stops me.

So the open went ok. We got into a conversation and I found out that she has a boyfriend. So the conversation didn't go anywhere by choice. Though I realise that I don't have a plan and it's a pretty big part of why the conversations aren't going in any particular direction.

Saturday - 26/09/2015 Saturday I didn't have time to do any day game because of having to practice for my improv performance on Sunday. So I went out.

I went to a meet up where I met all couples. So I just practised having playful conversation. After a few hours the couples all called it and went home so I went into one of the main bar areas. Weirdly this area has been really quite the last few weeks.

I ended up running into a friend and his friends who already had a group of girls with them. My friend's girl started to be really flirty with me but I held back moving forward because she was my friend's girl. I didn't find out till later that she was trying to get him to buy her a drink all night so he wasn't interested. At that point it was too late because another guy was already talking to her and he was pretty set that he was going to try and take her home. At this point I started talking to the other girls. I got along with the other girls but they went for a drink and some guys ended up talking to them. By that time I needed to go home anyway to get a decent rest for Sunday.

Sunday - 20/09/2015 So I went out to do some day game. First interaction I opened a girl. Found out pretty quickly that she was in high school but instead of leaving straight away I decided to just have a bit of a chat. She ended up leaving after 5mins because she had to get back to work.

I then ran into a few lair guys who were out and about. As usual we discussed game as one of the guys had just started doing day game that day. As we were talking we saw girls pass and as they passed we went and opened to show the new guy that it was nothing.

So I opened one two set but the other guys came up and sort of swarmed around them and freaked them out a bit. Nothing could of been done. Just a humorous occurrence.

Second open I went up and I surprised the girl and after I opened she said ok thanks and continued on.

Monday - 21/09/2015 As I was walking home I direct opened this girl from Austria. It went pretty good. We had a homeless person come up to us which got her to mention that she thinks there are a lot of crazy people here in this city. So I just assumed that she was one of them and messed with her. So I got her number.

Tuesday - 22/09/2015 At lunch I didn't have much time so I saw a girl that I was questioning myself about and just did a direct open eject.

As I was walking home I saw a girl in a stunning dress and went up and did the same thing, open eject.

I continued to walk home and I saw another girl sitting by the river and I opened her. She was a German girl who was just in town for the day. I tend to get into long conversations so what Iv been trying to add into the conversation is statements like "I think it's really attractive when...". So the interaction went not bad. She did seem to have a nervous laugh which I will assume was positive.

I also texted the girl from monday. Got a reply and said that we should have drinks. She replied with yes! So going to setup drinks with her on thursday. I got a reply back this morning at 2am saying sure.

Thoughts - As I have just come back from a bit of a break i have realised the importance of doing at minimum one open a day. It keeps the rust of and keeps the bad thoughts that are telling you that you can't, at bay because you are every day proving it wrong and strengthening the neural pathways. Habits make success
