Before TRP I can count on my hands the number of times I approached a girl I liked. After TRP I haven't a clue how many but over 20+ easily. I've also used meetup apps for the local area.

I've gotten rejected a numerous amount of times. Most rejections more polite than others. Out of all the approaches there have been just a few lays. Mad props to the guys who have ironed out game. This stuff isn't easy nor is it for everyone. This shit is hard.

At first, when I would reflect on the approach I'd barely remember it. As if my brain shut down and I just repeated the lines I had memorized off TRP and the reading material. I'm finally at a point where I've made it seem casually natural. I'm not beaming with confidence yet but I can actually reflect on my actions and see certain seductive components at play.

Today I got shot down twice. Two dates lines up. The first girl would have been our second date at her place for movies. I had been reading escalation models all morning feeling good about it. She's in uni and she mixed up her schedules and said she couldn't do tonight. I told her she can reschedule us. No word from her. Next. This other chick we arrange to meetup at a bar. I show up. After 25 minutes, I ordered a few beers for me and a meal. I made small chat with people. Game is important on both men and woman you don't want to game. It's how you carry yourself, it's how you execute social judo, it's how you read people and make decisions based on your perception.

Later she tells me her phone died but she wants to meet me tomorrow. I tell her I think I can pencil her in.

Once you get in the routine of making approaches and arranging meetups, you become desensitized to flakes and it expresses itself in the form of abundance mentality.

I drove home with a full stomach, the experience of a new bar I've never been to, and now I'm at home about to work on my music. And I feel great. I didn't bang a new chick and I'm struggling to spin plates again (I had two for a very, very short time) but it's progress and I'd rather be giving it my best to get what I want out of life than to site around and wonder what if.

After a while, it all starts to feel pretty good.
