What you have to remember is that most of us don’t post the negatives, just the positives. Take djandarial for example, from his journal, you would think that every woman who comes into his phero cloud throws him down and goes to town on him, now I don’t know the guy and I’m pretty sure that if he reads this, he’ll drop his own thoughts in here but I’ll pretty much guarantee that he crashes and burns pretty often, just like the rest of us. Even Mark in Dallas and Steve have their share of misses
Now, bear in mind that I’m a supremely confident guy who understands the female psyche better than most guys. If I were to go to a club and play the game, I would probably get one blatant, in your face ‘I want you now’ hit and 2 or 3 more minor ’ I’m interested, but not ready’ hits in a night. I would probably chat to at leat 10 or 20 girls in the course of the evening so my ratio of hits to misses is in the region of 1:8, when I was a young, nerdy, spotty metalhead and thought that Iron Maiden were the best thing on the planet, my ratio was more like 1:30.
The point is, it’s a numbers game, as you get older and more confident in yourself, the ratios improve and, more importantly, you will get better at reading the signals. You’ve had hits already, the ‘nerd boyfriend’ comment and the fox teacher were hits, no question.
The more girls you talk to, the more hits you will get, your confidence will improve ( which the girls will notice), more girls will then be receptive to your approach and the circle will continue to go round until you get the hits that you see posted about on here, once that happens, all you will have to worry about is lack of sleep! Practice is all it takes.
As to the girls in the mall, you got eye contact from some cute ones but decided to concentrate on the one sitting alone, eating and then the girl in the queue. Had either of these girls given you eye contact or indicated interest?
Personally, I would have started with the ones who had already indicated interest, if I had got no IOIs within 30 seconds, I would have moved on. Unfortunately, the way you acted indicated desperation, guaranteed to kill any chances. Don’t worry about it, learn the lesson and get back out there. If nothing else, you will learn a lot in preparation for a whole new adventure in the autumn.
