Report #13 - Things Looking UP

I don't know if you've figured it out... but we have been pathetic when going out. Don't open people... just walk around and talk about opening.

It's sad how horrible it is!

Today though, something amazing happened that changed that all.

But I'll start from the beginning and get to that.

So as I said... everyday we go out... pathetic. We went out a day that I didn't write about it was so sad. T had this bet so I'm pushing him to go, and he's saying he can't till I go. We basically walked around saying "You go first!" "No, it's your turn!" "No! I have no balls, you have to go!". Maybe this is just an excuse... but having to go first every time just annoys me and makes me not want to go.

So ya... pathetic progress so far.

So today was going to be different. I was gonna get a good night sleep, eat a good breakfast, go to the mall, have a energy drink, and approach my ass off no matter what.

But things never go to plan.

I get there early and sit around, T gets there and wants to eat, then we need a drink, then we need to finish the drink.... momentum we should have had at the start was killed. After all this sitting and shit... you lose your focus.

Next T had a good idea for recording approaches. His mp3 can record, and when it does you hear it in the headphones. We wanted wireless headphones so one person could go with the recorder and the other could wear headphones and hear.

We were pretty excited about this and decided to go for it right away. So we went to Future shop and bought a pair. Charged them.... sat around for an hour.... THEY DON'T WORK!!!! But I'm stuck on the idea so we go back and get a different pair.... tried to set them up for another 20 mins.... THEY ALSO DON'T WORK!

I didn't want to go back AGAIN so I said "Let's just charge them 100% and if they still don't work we can take them back". So we excepted the plan had to wait and put it off.

So we go back to the eaton center and start walking around again... not approaching (I know, were pathetic =( ).

When I walk around I see a lot of guys and for some reason I just think "PUA?". I never ask though cause it seems weird. As were walking though we see this kid our age, face on, talking to these 2 cute girls. I could tell they didn't know him... I was sure he was running game.

We just kept walking though and went down a floor.... then I thought "What am I doing.... I'm sure that kids a PUA.... he seems good.... better then me.... WHY AM I WALKING AWAY!?!?!"

I got T to come back up with me and we sat down where we could see him and waited for him to finish talking. When he was done I chased him down and asked him "Hey, have you read the Game?"

Hahahaha. He gives this big smile and shakes my hand. :P

He is Ts age and got into it because he is into hypnotherapy. He was taking a course nearby and decided to come sarge.

I asked how many times he's been out....he said twice!!! This guy seemed way better then that though. He had tons of great tips and just hearing how he looked at stuff like approaching and stuff was cool. His beliefs and mindset were great. He said he'd do some stuff with us, I was pumped! :D

He said there was two ways to get rid of AA. Push yourself past it yourself... or be pushed! We walked around for a bit but couldn't get the balls to do it. So he said "Well you can't do it... so were gonna have to push you". We were told which set to talk to and we HAD to open them... no bullshit.

I can ignore T telling me to do it... but this guy I felt like trying to impress him. If he said approach I did it. After 5 sets or so we were having fun and could approach by ourselves!!! :D

So props to this guy for breaking us out of this horrible shell of not doing stuff.

After he left me and T tried the same thing. I told T to approach and he just walked by the set but I didn't let it go. I said "You idiot! Now they've seen you and you've waited too long. Now your gonna look stupid when you go back to approach them like I told you to!".

Bahahahahaa

But props for him cause he did... he went back and talked to them! :D

Great day I would say. Way more approaches, finally getting past this AA and seeing how stupid it really is.

Next time we go out were just gonna have to keep pushing it and keep up this stuff.

I think we can handle it :).

Peace

Report #12 - Money Time

Repetition is key, doing it every day, even if only a little is gonna make it go much faster.

So today... or yesterday (July 1st) and the day before we went out.

On the 30th T had to work and we wanted to have a lot of time, so we planned to go at 11 to work it till 2:45 or so.

11am.... That isn't late right? So I stay up till 2am doing stuff before going to bed. Of course the next day I'm EXHAUSTED! I ended up being late and getting there at 11:30 :S.

Maybe this is just my AA... but I felt too tired to approach. I just did not feel motivated to approach ANYBODY. We did our warm-up, walked around... and just didn't do any proper sets. It was terrible. We ended up both agreeing we were too tired and left to go home.

Today.... yesterday. Realizing how important sleep is I decided to go to bed earlier.... meaning about 1 am and the meet-up was pushed till 11:45 am.... basically a bit later then I managed to get there the day before.

I got up today (once again after sleeping in) realizing it was 10:30! I had no time to shower or anything. I just ate and left. I felt a bit more energized but still fairly low for energy... and I was late again (only by 15 minutes though! Woot! :D).

The goal was to make-up for the day before. Unfortunately though it was still REALLY hard. I think I need to really sleep in, energy is what pushes me to approach and makes me fun. Warm-up again, lots of people in 10 minutes.

While walking around we noticed a HUGE group of super hot girls. I really wanted to approach but these were like mixed, 6 person sets and I just couldn't push myself to do it.

Later on (After much walking around without a single approach) we agreed to bring money into the equation. What's more motivating then losing your cash?

We each agreed to give 5 dollars for each NON-SEATED set that lasted for over 1 minute the other did. Even this though couldn't push me past my limits.... for a while.

We were walking when I saw 3 girls, from the tour group, wearing laniards, coming off the escalator. T was like "Do them!" and I thought "I wanted to approach these people before... might as well". So I went up and said:

"What's with everyone I see with these laniards?"

They were a bit confused but I asked again. Turns out they were on an exchange with their university in Montreal!

I got so excited! :D

I speak french and we started talking about Quebec and me wanting to go to McGill cause it's a party university. What I had thought was a 2 set was actually like a 5 person mixed set. They were all super friendly and cool though. I thought it had been a minute so I told them to enjoy their stay and left.

STUPID SET HAD ONLY LASTED LIKE 45 SECONDS THOUGH!

I was pretty pissed but just decided I'd have to do another.

I had no clue what to open with... then it hit me, THE TRUTH!

We kept walking and I saw another 3 really cute girls outside Holister. T was like "No, not them, not them!" and was pushing me but I just ignored him, pushed past and went up with:

6Teen: "Hey guys, you guys are gonna help me make $5!"

They all lit up and said

Girl 1: "All right, what do we do?!"

6Teen: "Well I'm in a bet, I have to talk to a group of strangers for 1 minute and if I do I make $5."

Girl1: "Okay....so where you from?"

6Teen: "Me? China obviously, can't you tell by my oriental look?" *Girls Laughed* "How about you guys?"

Girl 2: "Were from Quebec"

I got excited once again! Another group of exchange students (I swear, all of them were fucking super hot). I had experience from the last one so I started talking in french and they loved that. They taught me swear words and stuff. We were just vibing and I could tell they were loving it. They were giving IOIs and stuff. I felt really good.

I knew I had been there for a while so I said

6Teen — "Nice talking to you, I should go find my friend and get my money!"

Girls - "What? You're leaving? Noooo!"

6Teen-"I know eh! It sucks! I hate to go".

I left stretching my arms out to them as if I was being dragged away, I left and it was over.

So Mr. T had to pay up making me $5 today! :D

I really like making money a part of it. T has decided getting over AA is paramount at the moment. His plan is to take out $100 tomorrow and give me it all. He then will get $5 for every approach he does that lasts over 1 minute. He has 2 days to win his money back before its mine.

Should be very eventful tomorrow. He doesn't have to work so we can sleep in and stay later. :)

Till then!

Peace

Report #10 - Back On Track For The Summer

Summer is here!

Today was the first time in weeks that I actually had the time to go out. With exams, projects and parties I barely had time to relax.

Yesterday marked the end of it all though and now I can get back on track with this adventure.

Before I say anything I just wanted to say that ever since I started this, I've noticed something. Maybe it's because all my classmates are turning 16 and that's a party year, but since starting I've never felt so popular!

I've been going to movies, going to parties, just hanging out with friends more then ever. I used to sit at home all the time, recently though I've had something to do every day. Has doing a bit of pickup really made me this much more social?

If this is the change... after going out only a few weeks... SHIT! I can't wait to see what the end of summer has in store.

All right, soooo....

Seeing how busy I have been I haven't gone out in ages.

Not going out = Not Good For Progress

It wasn't too bad, but I must say I did feel more nervous since it's been so long. The momentum I felt has definitely gone down.

Anyway, I had to apply for a job today at one of the stores in Yorkdale and another at the eaton center, so me and...T met up this morning to start at Yorkdale.

I felt pretty good because I opened 2 sets within a few minutes of getting on the train (asked what the time was, it's a good one for warm up). But after that I was sitting and stopped paying attention to where targets were.

It was early in the morning, we handed my thing in at Yorkdale and walked around for a bit. It was mainly adults, no targets.

We didn't stay for long, headed to the Eaton Center right after. Same as Yorkdale, not many people. So I talked to the people at the store I wanted to work at about jobs, we got food, washroom... nothing amazing.

The place started to fill up. T wanted to get energy drinks because he thought it would be good so we both got Amps.

On Amp:

Not as good as Monster, didn't give me the same kick and the kick it did give didn't last as long. When it ended I was exhausted!

Next, T wanted to get this book called "Rules of The Game". It's by Neil Strauss and it breaks learning this into the biggest baby steps ever. I can tell he wants to be told exactly what to do so it was right up his alley. It wasn't at the Eaton Centers chapters though so we had to forget it.

Then it was Warm-Up time!

*Great Warmup* = As many approaches in 10 minutes as you can! Ask the time, make it to people you would actually approach, set a record and keep trying to break it! I'm at 8!

I went first, got 8! The other one went next and got...3? If that. I'm all pumped dancing to my iPod and he was walking looking for people.

After that T was pretty down, he wanted to get the book again so he would know exactly what to do. So we left for another chapters.

Walking to chapters is a great way to kill the energy for speed approaching and an Amp!

When we go to chapters we looked around a while before finally finding the book.

After getting something, what's the first thing you want to do? USE IT!

So we went to a park and read the 2 little books that came in this package.

I could see how it may have appealed to me when I was starting, but once you've gotten more comfortable talking to people why start some product that takes you to the start? I could make far more progress doing approaches then listening to Styles method.

After all this I was tired and wanted to go home, so thats what I did.

Sure, not much excitement, but it's been weeks so cut me some slack!

I'll go out again tomorrow, it should be nothing short of fun! :D

Report #8 - Sunday: Partying But Not Clubing

Well all that is left to talk about is Monday and Sunday.

Sunday was pretty chill. Family left me and I had the house to myself.

I went at 3 to my party. Hung out, talked to people, made everyone love me :). All that fun stuff. Just being the life of the party.

I had invited my friend to go clubing that night. He called that morning and said he'd come to the party, stay for a bit then we'd go to the club.

So I was at the party, waiting for dinner along with waiting for my friend. It's getting pretty late so I decide to head out.

When I went to leave everyone said "Noo, nooo, noo! Just wait 10 mins and were all going outside too."

I didn't think it would take long so I waited. Turns out the rule is "Everyone needs to pee before leaving.". So it was more like 10 minutes plus the time it takes for 17 people to go to the washroom.

We finally left though. I see my other friend and I ask if he'd seen my buddy who was gonna come to the club. He says "Oh ya, he told me to tell you he's not coming."

I just thought "FUCK!" I was going to be late and could have been on time if I hadn't waited for my friend.

So I rush home, had to shower and change, get all my shit together and head out at around 9:40 for the club. I had reserved a spot on the guest list. This meant I could be in a VIP line. But this closed at 10:30 so I had to be quick.

I got there probably at 10:25. Ask about the guest list and the guy says "It closed at 10:00, stand in line with everyone else.".

What a Jerk-Off.

So I thought whatever, just a quick wait in the line. At first it moved pretty good... then got slower and slower. We started moving about 1 step every 20 minutes. I got in line at 10:30, 12:35 I was still in line, close but still in line. I probably would have gotten in at 1, then I'd have till 3 till hang out with the people who were left. Worth 25$? I didn't think so.

I just though fuck it. I'm going home.

So I went to my empty house. Ate ice cream and watched TV all night.

More fun then standing in line.

Report #7 - Everyone Has Their Off Days

Day 1, done.

Well today started out exciting. Last time was so good I was pumped and ready to rock.

Unfortunately today wasn't as amazing.

We went to the Eaton Center, tried a few approaches but they were short and didn't last long.

Next went to Kensington. Even less approaches and we were getting tired after walking so far.

Next we wanted to see a movie, said hi to strangers on the way, T was getting down his AA.

Found no movies on early enough to want and go see. Left.

Saw the Eaton Center again and decided to check it out, it was closing just as we walked in though.

We did get 2 or 3 approaches but they were once again pretty lame.

All in all a pretty slow day. We walked around A LOT, realize that every time we went somewhere new it was a 45 minute walk in between.

I just wasn't in the mood. It wasn't really AA... I just saw a set and didn't care. I just didn't want to open.

This is a bit like AA I guess but there was no excuses just "I'm tired, who cares".

It was like 4 hours with maybe 20 approaches over the course of it.

I guess everyone has their off days but it's kinda sad.

Oh well,

Tomorrow will be better! :D
