What things MUST be done in order to be 'running game' as opposed to just socialising with a girl.

What things are basically essential to do in each interaction in order to get the pull and not doing these things means that your chances are non -existent?

It's frustrating because I post my FR's on a forum which seems to have a lot of mysterymethod guys on there.

If I fail to pull, i'm told it's because i'm not following the mystery method structure properly. I failed to show her an IOD (inidicator of DISinterest) or I didn't neg her etc etc - That i'm ''winging it''.

Or I opened too direct by telling her she was cute whereas as I should have used an indirect opener or whatever

Basically I 'didn't actually run game on her'

Which outergame stuff do you consider essential?
