Seddit, I've been seriously working on improving myself (gym, fashion, style, body language, mental state), talking to people (talk to everyone, give value), and building a high-quality life for a solid two to three months now and am starting to see solid improvements. Whereas before, I couldn't talk to a woman, I can now go and open any set. Sometimes I get blownout, but a) it doesn't effect my state (I even look forward to it) and b) it happens FAR less frequently than it used to.

A lot of it has to do with you guys. I never would have improved so much if it weren't for the constant support found on this site and from the people in my local lair. So thank you!

That said, I've reached a plateau. I've mastered opening and making groups out of strangers. I can get numbers with fairly good ease. I am even seeing some day 2s. But it's not enough. I want to improve.

So here are my new goals:

  1. Master the SNL (I'll start with more kiss closes).

  2. Use these skills for HB9s and above. I am currently gumming up when I'm talking to a really cute girl. I can open her, but for some reason I am still not believing that I can really have this girl. I know this is a mental block, and any suggestions for how to get out of that would be greatly appreciated.

  3. Become better at day game. It's almost too easy to open sets at bars and other socially acceptable venues. But I want to be able to stop a hot girl on the street and say, "Hey. I think you're cute and I just had to tell you."

So for newbs, it can be done fellas, just follow the material and keep at it. For you old hats, any tips on the above sticking points is appreciated.

Now I'll end with an FR.

Wore a stylin' hat out last weekend. It was the first time I had ever tried peacocking. Before I even got to the bar, this twoset opens me up. "Hey! I like your hat. Can my friend try it on?!" Lol. OK. I put the hat on her friend, initiate kino, and chat.

Next set in the bar. Talking to everyone. This girl is giving me the eyes. I should have gone and opened her right then, but I don't. Later, she opens me. "I really like your hat." We talk for a bit, but she is way hot and people keep taking her attention away. Any tips for dealing with this type of situation? aka talking to the social butterfly?

Set 3: See a girl smoking outside. Talk to her for a bit. We make a bet that she can't go through the door we came out of. She tries and can't. I laugh at her. It's all in good fun. See her again inside. Open her friend and ignore her. Later come back to her. "Hey. Let's go outside and smoke." "OK." She takes her two friends with her. I isolate her (AFC Adam says that in any group of four or greater, conversation will break into two- and three-sets) and talk bs. She's from two hours away. I should have number closed but tbh, I was in a state of shock as to how well I was doing that night. Every girl opened like magic.

Ended up closing a couple of girls towards the end of the night. It was a great boost, and I carried the good feelings over to the next day.
