No approaches today. But I admit that I was not in that mood. I rather finished some work and wanted to chill.

I realize it is part of, but I'll pay attention not to loose the discipline.

Hi man, I don't know Vienna so well, but how about going to parks and museums? There you could potentially find some tourist chicks!

Good luck!

Yeah man, looking forward to march. Vienna gets quite nice there.
I also want to crack locals, that's why I am trying universities.

- University: I did two approaches. One of them was doing quite well. But somehow her vibe was not that my type, and also she did not ask more besides WICF. So I let her go. I did another approach in the afternoon but was more for the practice. I am bit concerned that I am not that "horny" as last year doing indirect approaches. Probably my mind is also entertained with social circles?
- Social circle: I gave another dance course, and one girl I put an eye on stayed till the end. However, we left on the same direction with another guy, who unvoluntarely cockblocked me (I offered both of them an after party in my place, but he denied because he does not drink... therefore she did not want to accept the invitation in front of him). He is PUA, but I did not tell him explicitely my isolation plans. I will align with him and make logistics better for the next time.

- University: this time I went to another univ, which has faculties towards social sciences / languages. The vibe was calm:
. 1st cold approach: just asking for directions on how to get to a study area. I could not get out of the logic conversation
. 2nd warm approach (I even noticed a small smill): a bit more chat, but she did not bit on WICF and said she had to keep studing
. 3rd cold approach: she was on her way to the toilette, so the chat was rather short. Next time I will pay attention to asking them on the way back
. 4th warm approach: normal chat, she bit on WIFC and asked what did I study. However she hesitated during GALNUC and did not give me her phone.

Overall the session was not bad, so I must make sure to have some more energy next time.

No approaches today. Two reasons:
- I let go a couple of chances, this time the targets appeared quite "suddenly". I did not have enough energy for turning around.
- Vienna's streets are pretty empty on Fridays. Specially when all the eastern european women are back home for one week vacations.

Nevertheless, I still think that it is a better idea to sleep well, go to the gym tomorrow morning and hit the street on saturday afternoon.

Approaches of the day:

- Building appartment: I finally met a neighbor - a solid 8 who was wearing fitness pants while putting her clothes in the washmashine. I got an immediate boner, but manage to cool down the nerves and opened her with an indirect chat. She bit on two baits (WICF, dance teacher), took the elevator with me and told me her appartment number "for anything I may need". My intuition says that she has good attraction for me and high availability, but still I will take it easy. I think gaming a neighbor is not purely "hustling", so I have made an initial plan and will check a couple of forums before proceeding.

- Street:
. Cold approach: asking for a coffee shop... it was interesting that she stopped regardless of a bicycle interrupting us. Anyway, she did not bit on my WICF bait and seemed to be a bit in hurry, so I let her go
. Cold approach: similar in another adyacent street. Similar result
. Warm approach: we connected eyes while she was waiting at the bus stop. However, her vibe was too low for me and I could not ramble well. Also I got a bit nervous around those people in the bus stop. I know... next time I gotta push harder

Not a bad day... still, I have to work more on rambling.

Early game:
- Street way in: right after leaving my apartment I saw this girl and opened. At the end I got my first number close of this dg campaign. I will follow-up tomorrow.
- University: this time I approached twice. The first one was not that cute at second glance, so I just let her go. The second one was cute but her two girlfriends appeared a minute later. Btw I am surprised how the majority of chicks go to the library with another person or even in small groups. Maybe it's my age or my personality, but I would rather go alone to a library (if I plan to study).
- Street way back: another warm approach (eye contact reciprocated prior to opener). The chat was quite ok, but she ejected. My intuition says that she was not available.

Still feel that I have to work on rambling. After finishing a book on fitness (Starting Strength), I will completely jump into observational comedy and improvisation training.

- Street: a couple of approaches, but they did not lasted long.

I should push a bit more on cafés and inside the university, but I kind of chickened up. Will work on that.

No approach today. There were a couple of opportunities, but in the metro. The situation was too fast and actually my mood was not that high.

Log - Wednesday, February 6th 2019

- University: one approach, pretty weak though
- Bookstore: 2 approaches about small gifts on sale in the shop. The second lasted a bit more, but still I did not ramble strong enough.

This week I am finishing reading "Starting Strenght" and right afterwards I will jump into rambling. It is really a challenge to focus on several things at the same time.

No approaches today. I did went for an hourly walk, but did not find potential for approaching.

The good news: just finished reading "Starting Strength", so I will keep up with the gym. And now I start focusing on body language / voice.

Street: two approaches
- She seemed keen to have a little chat, but at the same time she had someone on the phone cam. I guess I should have pushed more.
- She was pretty receptive, but after a minute I was not so much into her type.

What I found weird though... between 6:30 - 7:30 pm, it seemed that people are rushing back home. Almost everybody looking at smartphones as well.

Log - Saturday, February 9th 2019

- Street: a couple of cold indirect approaches, but immediate rejections
- Bookstore: cold indirect approach, she did not seem attracted though
- Coffee shop: started a chat with the girl sitting next to me. However she seemed to be very shy, and after paying her bill she went off.

I am getting more convinced that Vienna leans towards night game. But still I will keep on working with day game, because that's what I like more and also want to rest well (the building muscle project is more urgent).

No approaches today.

I actually did go to several venues. I walked over the main shopping street (pretty empty because of sunday), went to the university library and to another public library. But I did not find real options. I should do more cold approaching in order to at least keep the daily target.

Have you gotten any lays from day game yet?

Empty week. I was out most of the week on a business trip and did not have time for myself.

I will rest a bit over the weekend and come back soon.

Log - from Saturday 16th till Tuesday 19th February 2019

On average 1 approach per day with indirect openers.
These days are running just to fast for me. Some time is spent on social circle, which is fun but demands another focus.

- 20.02.: no approaches, but rather social circle game. A new course started with 6 women and 3 guys. The women are actually not my target group (they are between 40-50 years). But still I will run the course and gather further feedback for the next promotion (I plan to run monthly courses).
- 21.02.: one approach on the way to the gym to home. It did not go further, but it was a good feeling to start the day with an approach early in the morning.
- 22.02.: no approaches... daygaming on Fridays is a problem still for me... I feel exhausted and streets are quite empty by 6-7 pm.
- 23.02.: a couple of approaches - one in the bookstore and one in the street. Nothing much, but felt well on keeping some discipline
- 24.02.: a couple of approaches - one at the university (yes, the univ library is open on that day) and one in the street.

Sticking point is still the rambling. But I believe it is more about my low energy levels.

I'm wondering why you're not spam approaching.
2-3 approaches per day is like doing 2-3 pushups a day, it won't do you much good.

I'd recommend approaching with the goal of having a ten minute conversation, despite how attractive you think the girl is. If it goes well, number close her and move on to the next approach.

Aim for around 20 approaches per day.

- University: 2 approaches, very short though

Otherwise there was nothing much in the streets by 7 pm

thx dude.

I don't feel going for spam approaching right now. But aiming for conversation sounds way more realistic.

Only one approach per day. Afterwork, walking on the streets or universities.

CHANGE OF GAME STRATEGY

For the past couple of days I've been doing only 1 or 2 approaches as daygame per day. That's little and weak, I know.
However, I am not that motivated on going daygame after my 9 to 5 job.

The good news is that I AM motivated with social circles. So I have launched some salsa classes where I am the instructor. I have met a dozen of girls within a few weeks and the promotion of my courses is now getting easier.

This means >>> from now on I will run 80% social circle game and 20% daygame

I prefer focusing on one thing... until I sort out this 9 to 5 problem.
