My First Daygame Number Close
I’m trying to improve my lot with women. This is difficult because I am very shy and inexperienced with women, probably mildly autistic, and so on. Fortunately I’m very smart, able to be charismatic sometimes, not bad looking, and eager to grow as necessary. Thus I’ve decided to take the one path that seems remotely likely to net me the experienced skill and sexual market exposure required to win a quality girl: Day Game.
I’ve read a good chunk of Krauser and Heartiste's work, and it seems sound. To the extent that I've had the balls to apply it, it seems to basically work. Today I had a surprise opportunity that ended up going way better than expected. Allow me to relate the story:
After spending a hot summer day in the cafe programming and watching cute girls walk by, kicking myself for my inability to approach, I made myself some dinner and wandered over to the graveyard to read in the evening sun. No intent to interact with anyone; I was looking for distraction-free isolation. Cute girls don’t prance around in the graveyard, thought I.
A few minutes in and what do I see but two cute Korean girls. My mind was somewhere between “I’m not here to talk to girls” and “damn I wish I had the balls to stop them and chat”. I resigned myself to read my book.
But then they escalated to literally prancing around taking pictures of each other. I struggled but eventually decided that I simply must approach. I walked over to flip the stone and see where it would go.
Attempted standard Krauser situational opener, heavily bastardized by nervousness and lack of confidence. “Do you speak english? I saw you girls over here having all sorts of fun and just had to come see what you are doing. Where are you from? Tourists?” etc. By the time I had got there and opened, there was only the semi-cute one, absorbed in taking pictures of her very cute friend who was prancing around farther away. Between my unimpressive demeanor, her lack of confidence with english, and her absorption in taking pictures, she could only find the attention to mumble out a few semi-answers and then ignore me. I rolled off, which is code for “awkwardly stood around for a few seconds, and then lost all confidence and dignity and walked away”.
I wandered back to a comfortable grave and sat down again to read, all while furiously running state control, congratulating myself for having taken any action at all, and assuring myself that I just had to keep it up and the successes would come. I ignored the girls and reabsorbed myself in my book, thinking that was the end of it and it was time to move on. A few minutes later I glanced up and they were walking over to where I was sitting. Nope, time for round 2.
"Hello again", says I, with a big smirk. I forget the rest of the conversation, but I was basically a duck; acting smooth and calm sitting against a grave on the surface, while frantically scrambling to keep the conversation going smoothly under the water, so to speak. Stories, assumption stacking, jokes, open ended questions, anything to fill time, racking my brain for bits of Game wisdom to apply. Harrowing, but fun. Keeping the intent to number close in mind helped to guide it. It was surprisingly non-awkward, and total time in set was maybe 5 minutes.
The cuter one was much more talkative, with better English, and seemed genuinely interested. It turned out she lives quite close to me. So when they expressed some desire to end the conversation, I suggested that we hang out again, and asked for her number.
I had to write it down on my bookmark with a piece of grass because I had left my phone at home to isolate myself, and did not carry a pen. They thought my creative solution was pretty funny, and she seemed somewhat enthusiastic to have met. We’ll see where it goes.
Lessons learned:
Just fucking do it and you will be rewarded by Gnon.
Carry an implement to record numbers at all times, to avoid having to resort to less reliable and more embarrassing creative solutions.
I got lucky and this is not going to be a representative sample. Still it confirms the hypothesis that I can actually do this.
