Sick again:
I'm not surprised that I'm sick again. I went sarging almost every night last week. I also worked out 4 days. Those two things expose me to a lot of germs. Add to that very little sleep and you have the perfect recipe for getting a cold. I found that most of my problems were due to not being able to sleep after sarging. (There was a post on mASF about this. Others have reported that they had trouble sleeping after sarging. My experience is that I have to get in such a wire state to sarge successful that I find myself still "hyper" when I get home.) Not being able to go to sleep early is fine, but last week, I found myself deciding to try to stay up the whole day so that I could go to sleep at a "normal" time. Over one three day period, I probably got about 8 hours sleep total. From now on, I'm just going to sleep until I'm not tired (like I used to do).
New Year's Wing debriefing:
Seamas got a Day2 with the HB he #closed on New Years Eve. His big problem, though, was he kept failing shit tests and he kept getting pulled into her qualifying frame. He even admited that he made a huge mistake of bring up a shit test from New Years Eve during Day2. Apparently, the HB had told him that he was attractive enough for her. She had also said some other BS that got to him. I reminded him that girls do this all the time. The only way to respond is to ignore the tests or come up with a cocky & funny response. Trying to prove the shit test wrong through logic isn't going to work and causes you to fail.
At some point in the night, Seamas had asked the girl about the message from the friend on New Years. The girl had gotten freaked out that the cops had showed up and she was pissed at the friend for having disappeared with Seamas. I found out today that I had read the girl correctly. She hadn't felt that I had come on too strong. I knew that b/c she had let me have my arm around her waist for over 10 minutes. Seamas reported that his HB said that the redhead was into me and part of the reason she left was because she had begun to get turned on. It's good that things didn't work out b/c apparently this HB is crazy. Apparently, she had been raped twice. One time she was date raped by a boyfriend. What's really wacky is that she not only didn't report it, but ended up staying with the guy b/c she found out she was pregnant from the attack. She later had a miscarriage but she is still with this loser. This whole situation just reminded me of this stat I heard posted somewhere. The stat claimed that date rape is reported less when the attack is actually successful.
Confidence in my game:
The debriefing above has helped my inner game. I can only imagine what an after lay debriefy could do for me. I think that can happen in then next few months if I continue to sarge. The current debriefing has helped confirm that my game is getting good. I know what my main mistake has been the over the last week and I think I'm ready to correct it. As I said in my last entry, I've had at least one good set every night I went out last week with the exception of the one night at Mother's. That was the night that I didn't really make approaches until near the end of the night. Now that I'm starting to believe in my game, and I know that I just need to #close at the high point in the sarge, I think I'll start getting a bunch of numbers. Combine that with never ejecting, and I should start to see lays soon.
One set tonight:
I was out with Seamas and Denny (I'll give him a nickname later). I met them at Lonigan's on 111th Street and we went to Corrigan's next door. We were just meeting to hang out so we really didn't plan on sarging. At Lonnigan's there wasn't really any sets to open. At Corrigan's there was a mixed 3set (2 HB's, 1 AMOG) that I could have opened. That later turned into a 4set when another AMOG joined them. I don't think my mixed set game is that good so I don't really care when I don't open those sets. I did make one opening to demonstrate to Denny that I now am willing to approach girls. He knew me when I was a BAFC & AFC so he was surprised to see me approach this one HB. She seemed to be with some AMOG's but at one point in the night, we saw that she was alone. I walked up and commented that she didn't seem to be too excited about the game. (I had seen her yawn and the bowl games were on the TV's and the speakers.) I then went into the tent opener. She said, "No." She still said, "No" when I explained the tent was behind a house in Hollywood Hills. I asked her what she looked for in guys and she said that didn't know but her boyfriend was other there.
I still ran my mini pattern saying, "Imagine if your boyfriend had walked in, you made eye contact with him and felt that butterfly feeling in your stomach. If you felt completely comfortable with him and later you found out he lived in a tent, would you have ditched him?"
I then ejected not too long after b/c I actually believed that boyfriend was there. I had seen her talking to a guy for a long time and my game has gotten to the point where girls haven't brought up a boyfriend on me in weeks. I think girls used to bring it up a lot more b/c my game was weaker then and I caused them to use that line to try to drive me away. A few minutes after I left, I saw that same dude from earlier (probably the boyfriend) talking to the HB. Seamas said that from their body language, it looked like he was giving her shit for having talked to me.
