Following three months getting in the game, my progress feels pretty good in some respects:

a) Started approaching and realised that rejection does not sting. Learnt how to get phone numbers and even an instant date from daygame.

b) Worked on myself (through the gym, re-reading models) and going to therapy) and noticed that the improvement in how I felt about myself leads to more positive reactions from other people.

c) When I go out now, I notice that girls give me more IOIs than they used to (or maybe I just notice them more) and I act on them more. Last Saturday, a friend of mine pointed out that I nearly pulled on two occasions. Even my friends are noticing the change.

d) Got my first lay two weeks ago since starting to improve myself. Beautiful 21 year old redhead- had a great night and felt like a man for the first time in a long while!

That being said, I feel I have some sticking points that I am going to try and address over the coming week (and beyond of course):

a) Approaching has sloped off somewhat given that I had oneitis from my first lay for about a week.

b) I need to start hitting the gym regularly again too, as this too has taken a hit recently and (scarily) it has affected my mood.

c) I also need to follow through with my plan of going to more meetups etc just to meet other people and expand my social circle.

d) Most significantly - I'm still working on shaking my prime limiting belief - that at 27 I am too old, or at least time is running out, for me to do this sort of thing and the pressure is on for me to settle down in the next few years. Part of me knows this to be bullshit and is dealing with it but doubts still linger along with the insecurity that comes with never having had a proper girlfriend.

I think the way I am going to deal with my sticking points is to look at how far I came in a very short time, remember that all of this is possible and that it can only get better as I get back on the horse and keep at it.

If you have any tips for my sticking points (especially the last one) or general comments or pointers let me know!
