The other thing you have to do is analyze your interactions and look for sticking points in your game. Because there's no point going out and approaching tons of girls and getting unstuck at the same point every time. (Well you might strike it lucky of course but you need to work smart as well as work hard).
As an example I have the following sticking points among others:
- Being too enthusiastic - too friendly / smiling too much
- Voice fundamentals - haven't got diaphragm breathing totally down yet
- Not rejecting compliance - not valuing my time/effort enough
- Forgetting to move the girl / get number at a high point
- Eye contact discipline pre approach - checking out girls too much
- Not maintaining all fundamentals throughout the interactions
- When I get near the close - anxiety, erectile dysfunction

- Sticking to my diet and getting the kilos off consistently
I mean, not to sound discouraging, but there's a ton of things to get right simultaneously and it's literally impossible to get them all down straightaway. You have to be progressive about things, and choose what to focus on each time you go out.
On the other hand, areas where I'm looking okay / much improved since GC:
- Approach anxiety - only get it a little bit when I'm not warmed up yet
- Conversation - I only create bridges, have basically eliminated gaps
- Compliments - I have some favourite things to look for / comment on
- Banter, flirting, sexual framing - on a good day this flows okay
- Fashion / hair / jewellery / cologne / etc
- Cold reads, getting her interested and investing in the conversation
- Asking for compliance - but best if I have it planned ahead of time
- Getting jacked - been going to gym 2yrs but added a trainer 3mths ago
I've only been here some months and have noticed huge improvements, also had quite a few close calls where I've gotten lucky early in the interaction, only to have it go off by a whisker... so you don't need heaps of game to have some successes, though you need everything down if you want consistent success.
It's vital that you write up some FRs/FUs/etc, because not only will this help you to notice your own sticking points like the ones I've listed above, but others will point out blind spots in your game, this has happened to me quite a lot and it's extremely useful. When you're getting started just post FRs, and as you get better at analyzing your own interactions you should start putting them in a journal instead.
