Im a 20 year old male from New York and for the past 10 months i have consistently been doing approaches. Over that 10 months i maybe did about 150 approaches , got about 20 numbers , F closed 1 girl , got 1 girlfriend and went on 3 mini dates ( to the park and hung out at school) , Over the past year i haven't really been trying to get better, i already had decent social skills so i thought that all i had to do what just try to get as comfortable as possible with talking to strangers. So when you take into count that i haven't really been actively trying to get better, my numbers have been terribly bad. Some mistakes " I " make is 2 things , for one i focus on the number to much, ( ADVICE) never ever ever ever ever focus on the number to much. The one f close that i did get came from a insta date at school and the one of the other dates with another girl came from a insta date. The second thing is because i focus on the number to much , i totally rule out kino or trying to escalate each situation , SMFH . Iv'e been rejected a CRAZY amount of times , each rejection doesnt even matter. but when i add up all the rejection i be like " damn i really got rejected by over 100 women" . But check this out i never get down so this is my plan. GO HARDER , Write down what i need to work on and strategically work on it . Do more kino try to escalate each approach , i will also be taking this approach with the rest of my life, i will be doing EVERYTHING to my best ability. I've been doing everything 65% my whole entire life and pickup helped me see that i need to go 100% . GO HARD OR GO HOME , i'm going harder with pick up , the gym , school , keeping my room clean . 100% everything or nothing. be the best you can be. I WILL NOT GIVE UP ,
