Things started strong, but went downhill fast. My weeks have been gradually getting better and showing steady growth, but this past week just sucked.

Monday started strong, I approached a 10/10 blonde girl at the gym in record time, before I even started my lifts and practically the second I saw her. A huge improvement for me, it would usually take me until half my workout or even until my entire workout was complete to start approaching.

I kind of froze up in the middle of the conversation though, I had approached her without even noticing how she looked at first and my brain started to register halfway "Oh my god this is a really really REALLY hot girl!" . She started to giggle and smile like she caught me in the act (I had started very indirect) which she did. I played it off, but couldn't salvage it.

Even in the beginning of this week though something was ebbing away at me, to keep it short, a girl I really liked was potentially moving and I wanted to ask her out, but was psyched out about it for half the week and it distracted me from my Game. I eventually asked her out and never got a response on the date plans.

I was really depressed and done for the rest of the week. I pushed myself to go to a really popular town/bar in my area a friend recommended to me.

The whole street was sprawling with 10/10's, some even gave me signals, but my brain just wasn't there.

I had delayed going out so long that night that I vastly underestimated how packed the bars were going to be, I should have gone earlier. I forced myself into one and to keep it blunt, I was too sober to deal with the blasting music and how there was barley any room to breath in the place. It was impossible to get a drink and I held out for a while, but I just couldn't and bailed.

I got some momentum at the end of the week, I pushed myself to go to explore a new part of NYC and managed one approach at a really popular coffee shop and had a nice conversation, no number close, just a reminder that I can do this and I can get the momentum back.

Nice work on the zero hesitation gym approach! I always struggle to approach in the gym, particularly as I walk in and see sets, everyone locked into their workout or resting between sets and I have just walked in with my gym bag over my shoulder.

It feels too uncalibrated. Like I am not part of the environment yet to approach. Although I have done it, I am prefer to settle in first. I am always in conflict between my workout and approaching when I am in the gym. I would rather just focus on my workout most of the time and get out.

I find indoor venues very claustrophobic. But I really want to improve my gym approach rate. I hit a record last week of 3 opens in the same session. But I didn't commit to the interaction, they were just 30 seconds long each. When it came to a chick later in the week whom I wanted to approach, I couldn't, as she was sat next to me and a cringe interaction would have been too awkward as I still had sets left.

I also relate to your nightgame frustrations, as well. If I go to my approaching city, I can often see young beauties strutting around at night, but I struggle to approach them as I have never been successful in this environment.

I also hate blasting music and I don't drink alcohol, I also wear my earbuds to protect my hearing. Which might look weird in a venue and increase the chances of rejection. Infact, you can read my recent field report from the club which sums it up well.

Nice job on the one approach at the end, it is always nice to "break out" of being in your head by managing an approach afterwards. Some of my best approaches have come from breaking out of frustrations and pushing myself to do an approach I wouldn't normally do. The gym is my most prized place to approach as I already have something in common with the girl just from the sheer fact that we both enjoy a workout.
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake
