This was the first date with a girl from day game. I had been on a date with a girl the night before (Hinge) and it was flat and lifeless. Subsequently I would go on a date the following day (another Hinge date) and that felt the same.
For this date I watched Tom Torero’s Date Tips. I was pretty nervous the afternoon of the date for some reason, I think I was tired from the night before. I got home from work and took a nap.K was coming to Camden for a tour. I decided to head down to the pub 20 minutes early to scout out if it were busy. Just as I was passing the first pub she texted me saying that she had arrived. I delayed and took another 10 minutes. Thankfully the pub was quiet and I found her sitting by herself in a corner drinking a beer. She followed my instructions to dress like she was going to a gig, a good sign I thought. I commenced the dating steps. After the initial phase I broke rapport and took her to the next pub. This was a cocktail bar with a quiet, funky upstairs. I sat beside her so that I could escalate when required. We got into a discussion about ‘life’ and she said she had a ‘fuck it’ motto. So I escalated and kissed her. No resistance. I was jumping from hot to cold for the rest of the night. Things were wrapping up and I said we should go for one more drink (back in the original venue) but it turned out to be closed, that was an error on my part as it caught me off guard. I half threw out the idea of coming back to mine and added that I was up early next morning. I knew as I was saying it that I didn’t deliver it with enough conviction. She passed on my offer and said ‘next time’. At the station we kissed heavily and I planned to change her mind but a group of drunk people walked past and ruined the mood.
She’s not a great texter which suits me perfectly. We’ve organised a video night for next week. Reflecting on the three dates I understand why this was more successful than the other two. I had a plan. I stuck to it. It almost paid off.

Really productive day today. So after the dip yesterday I decided to give Y £10 and said he could keep it if I didn’t approach at least 6. This seems to be a great method to motivate me to approach.
First girl was a Liverpool girl on Carnaby Street. Strong enough approach, I didn’t really stick to the frame but she was enjoying the experience. She had a great body with big juicy tits but her face wasn’t great. She said that she had to go catch a bus and left. I should have grabbed her number before she bounced. Straight after there was a girl walking down the street with headphones in. I was feeling good after the last set so felt confident, she just stepped around me and continued on her merry way. Pretty much 2 minutes later a short but really cute girl passed me. I stopped her and guessed that she was Italian. It turned out that she was from New Zealand. The set was really strong, I took charge and moved her away from a noisy group of tourists and she was happy with my lead. I could feel myself going down the ‘questions of death’ route again so I thought I’d ask for her number and bounce for both our sake’s. She said she had a boyfriend, I was about to do the whole ‘I’m not trying to be your BF’ but bottled it. Reflecting on the set, it seems I didn’t spend enough time after she invested. Good experience all-the-same.
There was a dip for about an hour as we walked around. Y was not on at all, he was not his usual self and was only half making an effort. I tried to push him as best I could but he wasn’t feeling it at all. I saw a posh looking girl walk up the street near the Tesco at Covent Garden, she just kept walking and didn’t take out her headphones. She was wearing sun glasses and that put me off as I couldn’t read her facial expressions. We were about to call it a day when we decided to do one quick lap of Trafalgar Square. We stopped and had a gander. I spotted a girl at the edge of the square walking around dreamily taking pictures, definitely a tourist . They were the perfect conditions. My approach was good, told her she looked good and she giggled. I began by saying she looked Spanish, it turns out she was from Costa Rica. She’s studying here and I teased her about wanting to be back on the beach. She really liked that I was a teacher. Her eyes widened when I slapped her on the arm and said she was a naughty student for not studying. We chatted some more and I sold her the adventure idea. I explained that I was with my friend and that I couldn’t stay long. We chatted about art and then I closed with the number.

Went out after work today. Felt pretty nervous as it had been a pretty busy day in work and I couldn’t regulate my thoughts. We started the session on Carnaby Street, approached a girl who I thought was Spanish, turned out to be English. Left it as it was falling flat and bounced from the set. Needed a stronger stop and I didn’t escalate enough. The 2nd approach was an Asian girl. She had headphones in but was happy to see me. I complimented then bounced. Critically speaking, I need to up my approaches. I can’t expect to get anywhere if I’m only doing two approaches. Y approached 8 and number closed two. I need to think of a strategy to overcome the weasels in my head.
I’m telling myself that the set is going to go tits up as I compliment the girl so I need to block out those voices and continue till she either walks away or tells me to fuck off.

Met Y today after work (around 7pm). Vibe was good on the tube even after a busy and hectic day in work. Got strong IOIs from a girl sitting opposite me but didn’t have the cojones to do anything on the tube . I decided to go all guns blazing today, approached straight away on Carnaby Street. I don’t remember much about the girl but I spoke too quickly, she seemed confused, maybe the Irish accent has its drawbacks too. Later on, walked up Carnaby Street, saw a girl pass on my left, instinctively just went for it. Good chat, opened with a compliment, she enjoyed that. She was eating a sandwich and I told her she had sauce on her face. I told her to guess where she thought I was from. Maintained strong eye contact, she hooked and we chatted for a while. I asked for her number as I said I had to bounce and she happily complied. First number from daygame and felt amazing afterwards. Y was on fire too and managed to grab 3 numbers. Carnaby Street seems like a great location as you can see people coming from both directions if you stand in the middle.
I eventually texted the girl from Mansfield and hour later, kept it brief and to the point, she didn’t text back. Reflecting back I could have got her to invest a little bit more. I tried to avoid questions of death but at the end of the set it was going that way. Anyway all progress.

Today it was super hot. I was walking around central London feeling sluggish and lethargic. I had been out drinking on Friday and hooked up with a girl in an Aussie bar near Fulham. We were walking back to hers but then at her door decided she wasn’t going to let me in. Slightly pissed, I decided I’d treat myself to a black taxi back to Camden. It didn’t help my hangover the next morning when I realised how much it cost me. Saturday I had an Irish girl (old Tinder lead) around. My preference is black/mixed race girls but decided to invite her over as she seemed very keen. We then had an awkward evening and she left once we had finished eating, not sure what happened there.
Y was full of energy and on, I was trying my best to feed of his vibe. The first girl I approached was an Asian girl on her phone, it was a half arsed attempt and I left. Next was a cute girl standing at an entrance to a shop near Covent Garden. Again my mind was thinking about too many different things which made the open erratic and weak. Reflecting back on the approach, I noticed that my stance wasn’t assertive enough but I maintained good eye contact and managed to emphasis my Irish accent. Y was pushing me as all good wings should and my next approach was probably the best of the day. A super hot blonde was strutting her stuff down Regents Street with about 10 bags on each arm. Y was pushing me to do it and I just went for it, didn’t over think. Teased her about all her bags she had in her hand. She was loving it, and was really enjoying it when all of a sudden I blanked and couldn’t think of anything at all to say. So I was out of there in a flash. Although no numbers I was happy with the final approach although I needed to up my game. Doing three approaches after 3 hours is not enough, this is something I need to work on

So as summer 2018 was slowly passing by I got a notification on my phone. The app store was giving me a gentle reminder that my Tinder subscription was almost up and that I should act quickly to sign up again and pay my £80 for 6 months, bargain right? A few weeks before I began following James Tusk on Youtube, I liked his style and decided not to go with the Tinder subscription and to message him instead. A week later he had hooked me up with a wing named Y. Unfortunately James was busy for the summer so I missed out on a coaching session with him.
One sunny Sunday I met up with Y for my first ‘proper’ session. Y had received a few coaching sessions with another PUA affiliated with Tusk. He looked the part and was definitely more experienced at this than I was. We had a coffee and discussed our POA. We planned to go out as often as possible (at the time I was working crazy London hours and he was working unsociable hours but we made it work). I look back on that day with a smile, I was clueless and could only muster the courage to ask for directions although managed to develop two conversations. One was with an Italian girl on Regent Street, I asked her where she was from and tried to do the whole ‘I’ve been told you need to be careful with Italian girls because they like to party’ trick but ended up talking about Italian food and how it makes you sleepy. Y was smashing it, approached some really hot girls and his vibe was strong. We ended up at Embankment shattered after the day’s events. I was really looking forward to doing it all again soon.
From then on in I began to take notes on the way home on the tube. The next few posts are those aforementioned notes. This blog is hopefully the kick up the backside I need to start daygaming again. My accountability mirror if you will.
Winter 2018, London
On a wet and cold January afternoon I met my first ‘wing’ who I hoped would encourage me to approach some beautiful ladies and hopefully bed a few in the process. The result after 2 hours of walking around the streets of London was far from that. The dreaded AA took a strong grip over me as the wicked weasel whispered in my ear. To be clear, I wasn’t even trying to approach to complement them, I was approaching to ask for directions. In my head I felt insincere or untrustworthy, maybe it was the Catholic guilt coming out. Eventually on the edge of Covent Garden I saw a well dressed lady (in her 40s) walking up the street. I steadied my nerve and front stopped her. Needless to say she was more than happy to give me directions to Oxford Street and although it was a brief and innocent interaction, I was walking like I banged a 10. Forgive me, the AA was extremely bad.
A week later, we tried again. Managed to stop a few more girls but no development in conversation but a pretty good understanding of directions in the Covent Garden/ Soho area. By the following week my wing had left London and I was all alone to deal with my AA…so I downloaded Tinder again.
Hey, I’m going to be moving to Dublin in Oct. Are there any PUA lairs active still or is there…
