Starting to write FRs again. Yesterday I was feeling a bit mellowed out since it was friday night and I didn't do much. Went out to daygame today and I got two numbers, seems like they'll flake but whatever.

First was a chinese girl walking on campus. I walked up beside her and said "rainy day huh?" then proceeded to make conversation from there. Gave her my name, got hers. She was definitely foreign and she only came to America to take the graduate program here. That seems like the norm for the foreign asian girls here. Anyway, we chatted for a good amount of time, and I walked with her. At the end I requested that we should meet up, she gave me a bit of an excuse at first but I pushed through it and said how about when you're free? She agreed and I took her number, we departed. I texted her my name after that.

Second approach, saw a girl going to the gym, she had a nice jacket on. I stopped her and said hi, walked with her, I felt like she was going to stop and chat but I kind of just kept walking with her, whatever. We had a basic conversation, apparently she knew some people from my school. So we connected on that level. She was on her way to the gym, I suggested we meet up at one point, she said she was busy tomorrow, I got her number though and texted her my name after the interaction

Lessons: - I read some of my FRs when I first started and I noticed that I had a lot more fun during my interactions. I was positive, more direct, and focused on just generally being upbeat. Now I feel like a lot of that is lost. I feel more mellowed out in my opens now. - I could change my vocal dynamics, maybe switch up my tone so I'm not talking in just one frequency - I want to not leave right after I get the number but when I do get the number the girl already starts to leave after it's saved on my phone. As if she is departing the interaction, it would feel weird for me to stand around and try to bring her back into a convo when she is already walking away. Maybe this is a sign that these girls are just giving me flakey numbers? - I should probably stop using the pharse, we should hang out, during set. It probably wouldn't matter but I think it's better if I just phrase that we should meet up so she doesn't automatically get that friend vibe.

Besides these lessons I'm not sure what else I can improve on. Cold approach is really a dicey topic. Recently I started coming to the conclusion that the specifics of what you do don't really matter and it is essentially rolling dice. That's why I've been a bit more mellow on my opens lately. I just say hi and keep it simple, I then go for the number or insta date and if the girl is interested she'll respond back to me. It doesn't seem like there is some magic thing to say or magic way to present yourself with body language/voice that will increase results. She is either attracted, or she isn't.
