Hey guys, I've got a dilemma. And it's basically that I'm losing motivation and spark in doing pickup. I can still get numbers, and have no approach anxiety, but I think I'm getting bored by the whole open, conversation, number close system that's worked over the last year. And the worst thing is I feel flat when heading out to do daygame, which leads to my vibe being flat and conversations being flat. I don't even feel nervous. It's like when I'm talking to the girl I feel kind of like "hear we go again, same approach, same boring conversation" and it must come through in my interactions. I think I'm getting tired and bored of the whole process. I miss that awesome feeling I had when I first started to game. But now it feels so routine and samey. I know I probably need to change a few things but what do I tweak? Recently I've started screening and playing a bit more hard to get but it still doesn't help everything massively, at least in terms of making the whole thing more enjoyable.

Maybe it's because I'm putting more emphasis on my mission and purpose and that I don't have time to do it everyday as i'm busy with projects, yet that should make me enjoy even more when I do head out. Instead I feel like I should be at home working on my projects instead of doing pickup. Got a number as well today from a cute chick but it just doesn't feel the same anymore, how do I change things? Part of me feels I need to do a complete overhawl and do my pickup in a completely different way but what do I change?

Holy moly mate - let me tell you you're not alone in that feeling. Everyone goes through it when they work there ass off on something and like you said, follow the same process over and over. The way I've dealt with it is to first and foremost take a break, even a short one or two days off like if you were burnt out with work or a goal gives yourself a chance to think and make it feel new. Secondly, do a cheeky reassess of your goals; this whole process is not for nothing - I don't know if you plan on fucking a Victoria Secret model or being able to have regular threesomes but make it big, make it a huge goal.

Something my 60 year old college professor once told me has always stuck with me: 'Rob I want to DJ at Tomorrow Land one day (grand goal) and that's what keeps me workin' and workin'. I know that every set I play takes me closer to that dream and even if I don't achieve it, I'll have had a blast trying.' Do the same with your pick-up goal and just like Tyler from RSD who's been doin' this for a decade, you shouldn't get burnt out.

Hope this helps mate! I'm envious of you completely destroying approach anxiety so hope to reach this stage in the not so distant future!
