Crusade of the Knight: A Journal.

[novaknight]

Well, cause even though I never really had a gf, I do occassionally get to play around with girls. Just not EVER at school (except like the few chicks I grinded before there...but that was in the dark where they couldnt see my face well).

I've gone REALLY close to making out with a girl before. And touched her up too. Man, I still remember that like yesterday, I was real smooth. My record for asking out girls though...simply SUCKS.

Entry 16: Next week/Fu<k routines!
I've been praying a ton about life in general. About where I'm headed, where I'm going, and my purpose.

Sometimes when I'm feeling down...I hear something in my head.
God don't make no junk. It's really reassuring. And I feel that I'm really in control of my own destiny now. When I was a super AFC...I thought I'd never score cause I'm not a good looking guy.

Now...physically nothing has changed. Sure maybe I don't look like I'll die of starvation, but I'm still damn lanky like many other teenage guys. I really don't have a good looking face. But what has changed is that I have some understanding of how this game works now. I have some handling on my fate. And if I turn that wheel hard enough...I can go anywhere I want. Sure...maybe I might have to turn the wheel a little harder than a stud. But if I just grab on to it tightly, hard enough...heck I don't even have to stay on this damned road, the sky's the limit!


My abysmal record isn't gonna stay. Next week I WILL ask her out. I feel I've done enough trying to build up attraction. I'm gonna swim or drown here. And if I drown, I'll simply find me a new river to swim in.

What Nino said about canned routines, I've been finding real true. I felt the reason why I crashed that day was because I've been exposed, caught without routines. Those routines are the training wheels carting me along, but it is time to get rid of them. Cause there is no way in hel that routines will last me throughout an entire date. Those routines have their time and place. But at this stage, I should not be rollin with training wheels.

For I am not Mystery. I am Novaknight!

 

[DJ422]

First off: I'd say its time ^^

Second: I have to ask, If you've never used a canned routine before is it worth starting? I had a Semi-cold approach, (I knew a few girls in the group but wanted to chat with this girl I hadn't known), probably the first time ever, and I did okay, but the convo died faster then I would have liked. It might not have even been the opening, I might just need practice talking to people I have no info on. I'm good talking to someone once I know about their Hobbies, dreams ETC.

Anyways, You got this!

 

[novaknight]

I feel that canned routines have their place and times, like anything here. I know this is really strange, but I think of this as a war. Use everything in your arsenal, and when you know you can't win, eject and find a new target.

Now when should you use canned material? I feel that canned material is great for openers. However, the most powerful openers are situationals, straight off the top. Of course don't stick on your openers...well they're just freaking openers. What I noticed about females is that even if it sounds kinda irrelevant or odd, as long as its interesting, you got em hooked.

What else are they good for? Not much else really, unless when you blank out. Like since the convo died fast, you might want to try some canned material. Sure they probably won't hurt, but you can't build a relationship off of that...and you're eventually gonna run outta **** if your game is ALL canned. That's what I learned, and I learned the hard way.

Oh, and one thing. Canned material is the best when you actually make it part of you. I can guarantee you, even though Mystery is so much more experienced than I am...after all I'm just some kid who didn't even get laid yet...my own routines work better than his. Why? Cause they're part of me. I can connect it with myself personally. I feel the emotion of my words. There is a certain power you can't imitate by parroting others.

All in all though...canned material works in clubs. Not very good in high school, but has its uses, like any other thing. And our goal is to eventually get your butt off those training wheels.

Entry 17: Asking her out.
My last hours are here. I am going to ask her out tomorrow.

When? Where? What will I say? I do not know exactly. But it is going to be done. Whether she says yes or no, it matters not. It has to be done.

I thank the Lord that I even have this chance. I am a little nervous though. Everyone gets nervous. Except the big guy himself.

Good luck bro.:woo: Get that **** done.:rockon:

 

[Nino-Tk]

Whatever happens, just remember you are worthy. When one door closes, two other open. You just got to find them. You can do it Nova!

 

[novaknight]

She was absent today. Jesus...I was ready! I'm going to get destroyed by my stack of tests tomorrow, and I won't have much time to do it tomorrow.

Damn it, I lost my best chance...

At least I had a nice time talking to people around her.

 

[novaknight]

Okay...I asked if I can speak with her during break. She said if she wasn't busy with her homework yes.

She was touching her hair (classic IOI). At break I'll ask her out

 

[novaknight]

Entry 18: A Mixed Battle
Uh-uh. It didn't flow, no chance to ask her out. Once again she was busy.

However...something happened today. I was greatly shocked by this.

A girl OPENED ME. And a decent looking one too! Must be the height working to my advantage. The thing I have going for me lookswise.

I was taken back. Very rarely do girls initiate convos with me, never expect it cause I'm not a good looking guy by any means. So I HAD to capitalize on this opportunity. She opened by asking for my opinion on something.

I slipped in a number close. I don't know if the number is real. But I was able to do it.

So I failed in asking my target out. But I got a pretty good looking woman's number. In highschool, which is definately not my field of choice. I may have lost a battle today, but I was able to redeem myself.

Entry 19: The I Think I'm A Stud Method

I was texting my target, who I failed to ask out. And I find it very terrible that even though shes not like a really hot girl...I still suffer from nervousness, inadequacy, and stuff like that. When I found out that she went to parties and stuff....I was very very shook. This must mean I'm going up against some competition. I'll have competitors, and she'll be a social girl. That's exactly my weakness. No wonder I was sweating over the mixed sets. How will I ever stand a chance? I'm no good looking guy by any means...I have no natural social ability...and I absolutely cannot stand group sets! Even if I do this, it's not gonna work! Those were my thoughts, as the ghost of my AFC past was trying to resurrect.

Think, Nova. Think! Your mind got you through some hellish courses last year...why can't you think of a solution to this?

And so I began. Thinking of a solution. Gimmicks. Openers. DHVs. Negs. The things that I'm trying to get off of. And I finally thought of the perfect method.

Guys, I have a DHV. But this DHV has no lines.

Think of a really attractive guy (no homo). Think of how easy it is for him to get laid. Think of how every girl should be honored to even be approached by him. Envision how effortless it is. Stud approach a girl. Stud runs game on her. If she doesn't respond favorably...pshh. Her loss...he's a stud! Theres so many women out there, he doesn't care.

Now...pretend you are that stud. What if you're not? Oh well! Pretend you're him. Something tells me that this is probably the best DHV you can have. If you think you're a stud, even if you're not...you WILL get laid. Or whatever you want. You just gotta keep fighting.

Now, when Monday begins, I will start acting like I am that hot guy.
To hell with IOIs! I'm assuming shes attracted. And if I get shot down...oh well. It's not like its new to me, and there's a billion other women to screw.

I may not have social proof or physical attraction on my side. But my advantage is that well, I think I'm a pretty smart guy. There must be a solution.

And so I began. Thinking of a solution. Gimmicks. Openers. DHVs. Negs. The things that I'm trying to get off of. And I finally thought of the perfect method.

I present to you...the I think I'm a Stud Method.

 

[NorwegianDJ]

You're getting deeper into assuming attraction and not placing women on a pedestal. Also you're mentioning entitlement. Good stuff
Just remember that our beliefs must be backed up with reference points. The more and better quality of them, the more convicted.
Just remember that you gotta start somewhere. Sometimes that confidence is just that voice that tells you that you HAVE to do it.
Action comes before confidence.

 

[novaknight]

On monday I'll be able to back it up with action hopefully. I also have my past almost-score.

Man...I sure paid the price before for indecisiveness back when I was just beginning. Note to self: if a girl is cuddling against you on a bed, she prolly wants to **** you.

 

[novaknight]

Entry 20: Action almost certain
Okay. Due to bad circumstances, asking her out has been put off. I realized that I was holding a huge weapon in my hand, which could lead me to victory. My phone. I texted her on friday, and then eventually moved towards having her meet me up.

So here is how the last four messages read EXACTLY.

Nova: Ah, so will you be in school tomorrow?
Her: Yupp
Nova: Well I'd like to talk to you alone tomorrow.
Her: About what?

I didn't know how to respond to that. I am going to ask her out, but not through text, cause I feel that I have more balls than that.

How should I respond? I think I should be like "I have a question to ask you tomorrow...meet me before class". Is that a bad idea?

I got this far. And I ain't gonna fail.

 

[novaknight]

Entry 20: A victory today
I have won a major victory today. I asked her out.

Pure...natural confidence oozed through me. I didn't use a single line I've learned from Mystery, or any of the great PUAs out there. My best self....somehow...miraculously flowed through today. I was being genuine, yet I felt it was effective too!

Unfortunately...I failed. No. I can't use the word fail. I learned more about myself these few weeks than ever. She claimed she kinda already had a boyfriend, but it was unofficial. At first I was thinking...5HIT! JESUS CHRIST I CAME THIS FAR FOR THIS? Then...I realized a transformation. After a few moments...I simply did not care anymore. There are so many women in the world. I ain't going to lose sleep over one.

I need to find a new target. But dude..there's hotter girls out there. And I am scoring one of them.


My biggest flaw was not acting quick enough. Waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. That costed me this war. And my overreliance on other peoples techniques and routines. If I am to ever use routines again...they must be straight from my heart. Ones that I made myself. And they're just a backup tool, not the basis of my whole game. I honestly don't see myself using much more routines in the future though.

My biggest improvement was not giving a **** after being rejected. Not a single bit! It's her loss! Not mine, dammit!

Next time...oh my god. It's going to be the biggest victory I ever won. Because I am the Novaknight. Who may have lost this war, but will win the crusade.

 

[DJ422]

Haha, you're doing better then me there I'd say. I still have feelings for my ex-crush, but I've decided simply to focus on us being friends. I don't want to lose her, but I know that If I were to try and woo her again it would just be bad all around. If she were to decide she wanted me, then fine by me, but I can't pursue her anymore. I wish that I didn't worry about it, but I guess she's different then most other girls because she became a friend in my eyes before I made a move on her.

My philosophy: failed dating prospects becoming friends is OK. friends becoming failed dating prospects (and causing the loss of the friendship) is not.

I still remember how awesome it felt to have actually asked her out. Even though my being rejected sucked, It's empowering to do something you thought would be impossible.

Your next victory should be very soon. You got this!

 

[novaknight]

She claims she would like to go out with me as friends. I said no, and showed I could walk the **** away. Man...THAT was the major victory. I turned down a girl who turned me down.

 

[Nino-Tk]

Although she has said no, don't be rude or unfriendly to her in any way...I hope you haven't been hey.
Im glad you put yourself in the line of fire to experience, now in the future you will instinctively know how to be more swift in your 'war'..lol man good stuff Nova!

Nah...getting worked up over a girl is pretty AFCish. Why should I get worked up over someone, when there's plenty of even better looking girls, maybe even with better personalities if I'm lucky?

I just refuse to let myself get friendzoned.
