Hey everyone, im new to the board but ive been following Jayers 100 approach journal for a year now and I feel like I need to start my own because Ive been an AFC forever and just got out of a nasty 11 month relationship. Ive been around the board searching for answers but i know ill never make progress without some kind of action.
Some history: Ive always been really shy (especially after middle school) and hated myself for it. Im a sophomore in college now and im sick of not getting any action. I have literally hundreds of approach opportunities everyday, but I always tell myself "ill do it tomorrow. Well ive been doing this since entering college and im sick of being afc. I think that the girl i was dating was holding me back from my potential. In high school and the first year of college i was always the "smart guy" that no girl would touch with a ten foot pole. And one day i asked myself, "there has to be another way". and i found the dj boot camp and got through the first four weeks up to the part where you ask for numbers and i froze. Ive only approached like 5 girls so far, and i made an approach journal.

I started off like this
DJ progress journal 2007

Oct. 15th - Approached 3 and 4 sitting down at table in mall. Did not ask for number. Kino handshake, No SOI. I kept asking them if it was awkward that i was doing this....they looked at me as if i was a creeper!
2/10

Oct. 18th – Approached 5 in line asked if single, asked for number right away. Got number No SOI, No Kino havent called her back...I dont know how this approach worked....i dont like asking for number right away
3/10

Oct. 18th - Approached 1 and 7 sitting down, asked for numbers right away, denied. No SOI, No Kino. They said Ummmmmm for like 10 minutes before responding.....i was a total afc
1/10

Oct. 18th – Approached 2 and 4 roughly 30 years old (too old!) sitting down. Asked for numbers. Denied. SOI, no kino.im only 19 but i had some serious balls that day lol. this is my favorite approach of the day! i laughed the whole way home
1/10

Oct. 27th – Approached 2 age 26, she liked me but I did not ask for number. Handshake no SOI. This girl was insane! She told me she had a degree in business and i asked "what do you want to do with that?" and she replies "i dont want to work, i just want to get knocked up and stay at home with the kids". Shocking...:nono:
3/10

Oct. 29th – Approached 7 at sunglass hut, no progress= i was a POS, all i did was ask about the glasses
1/10

Oct. 29th – approached 3 at foot locker asked name and where she was from, handshake, no connection. She had a zombie stare on me. I used the line, "so im not interested in buying any of these shoes, i just came in here to talk to you". Well that went over like sh!+. :cuss:
1/10

Oct. 29th – approached 6.5 at aeropostal, no progress whatsoever. Used the line "im looking for some pants for my brother...."
1/10

oct. 30th- approached 1 no progress nothing to say here....except i feel like im moving backwords....
1/10

Oct. 30th- approached fat chick 1 in chocolate factory, talked about chocolate.....she liked me but i didnt number close. :down:
1/10

oct. 30th – Buckle, talked to old hag 1 nothing to say....too old again, why is it easier to talk to old women? :cry:
1/10

oct. 30th – talked to 6.5 and asked for number, she said bf but I could talk to her friend, talked to her friend and she got my number. She hasnt called me back....im really proud of this approach because the girl just kept smiling at me. Maybe i am getting more confident? :rolleyes:
5/10

Any feedback whether pos or neg would be greatly appreciated!

November 6th

I just got back from the mall and I made one approach.

These two Asian girls were eating and i went up to one and said "hey i think your really pretty"

she smiled and i asked her name and she asked mine

blah blah blah.....turns out shes 30!!!! whoa and I thought she was an undergrad....so I tell her to make a facebook and well hook up later...

overall success score 5/10

what could i have done better? asked for phone number instead of facebook?!?

Another approach

Hey guys, just made another 3 approaches today after thinking about it for half an hour! here it goes....

first approach: I went up to two girls sitting down they were a 4 and a HB7. SO this is the convo...

Me: Hi
Her:hi
Me: Pause...i think your really pretty
Her:thanks
Me: asked name and we shook hands
Her: talked about ****ty week and said that my comment was a relief
Me: talk about blah blah
Her:blah blah
Me: im going to go ill see you later
Her: do you have a number?
Me: what?
Her: do you have a number?
Me:Yeah its......blah blah number close yey!

ok that went well

2nd approach

One girl was working at popcorn stand ( she was a 5)
I went up to her and waited in line until it was my turn

Me: Hi
Her: Hi
Me:I dont want any popcorn i just came here to talk to you
Her: smiles
Me: whats your name
Her: gives name
Me: blah blah askes about where shes from ect.
Her: blah blah tells me
Me: after a while i just looked at her
Her: so do you have a number?
Me: ya
NC....

I was really impressed with my progress....from asking girls for numbers on the first sentence to legit number closes

Girl 3- shes a 4

I walk into soap shop and this attendant says

Her: Hi
Me: Hi, im not interested in the soap i just want to talk to you
Her: thats nice whats your name?
Me: blah blah gives name askes about job boring stuff here
Her: turns into freak and starts lecturing me....
Me: im going to go now
Her: bye come back any time!

Why do i always talk to freaks?!?

What does SOI mean and "Approached 3 and 4"? Is that a number rating for a girl?
I'm pretty sure thats signs of interest, but I have no clue if you're numbering girls or what... And why the fvck would you approach a 4 man?
If you think shes ugly, wheres your interest? Whats the point in approaching a girl you don't think is hot?

Oh yeah. Pretty good so far. Seems like your making a lot of progress and I can't wait to start. Hopefully I do as well as you.
Thanks a lot man, i didnt think i was doing so hot at one approach per day....a lot of guys on here do 10 per day, i hope to achieve that level sometime.
You will change man. where there is a will there is a way. My only advise it to follow the dj boot camp like its your duty to change.

Soi means statement of intention.....to let the girl know your not there to just be friends, the numbers are what i think they look like from a scale of 1 to 10, but a ten doesnt exist on my scale and a one looks like a man. But i approach girls that i think are cute from far away, but sometimes when i get closer i see they are ugly and then i still approach because its practice, and i need TONS of practice lol.

update

thanks for all the advise guys, im going to try to approach more hb7s and up but its hard to find girls that attractive sometimes.

Anyways, I need advise on something. One of the girls that i number closed with today texted me and we have been talking for a while. I dont want to over analyze this but she keeps saying how nice it was of me to talk to her today because she had such a bad week.

Now how often are girls that are attracted to a guy use the word "nice"?

What should i do? should i be a jerk? or act like ive been acting? or ignore her?

Please help here DJ's!

I actually think you are doing pretty good, I mean the girls are asking YOU for YOUR number, now if they call back then you are doing good! What I would do with the girl Texting is escalate the texting back and ask her on a date maybe Saturday if she say's no then I would take my time answering her text's, if she agree's make sure you keep escalating to make her know you want something more then just being friends try to Kclose at the end. I dont think you should be a jerk outright just relax and remember you are becoming a DJ so there are going to be lots of opportunities in your future so just do whatever you feel like, if you dont like her break it off but if you like her then do the above stated. Good luck and maybe you should start going for some higher numbers, maybe 7 and above dont you think? Plus I think SOI is signs of interest.

Ohh lol it sounded like you were using an SOI like an IOI.
I think you should put on some glasses and go for the 7s-9s

:p UGs are a waste of time most often.

Go for the 9s... at least they'll look like 6s :p

Hah, just get a little closer before you judge cause you don't wanna practice with the unexperienced girls. You gotta learn it from the ones who know it.

If you can't get closer, just say "nice talking you but I gotta run, bye."
lol.. works every time.

November 9th approaches

today wasn't the greatest approach as i went with a new wingman who is a downer.

This guy makes fun of every approach i do. But he is so insecure about himself he never approaches. Im giving up on him. Heres how it went for me:

I approached two girls about 6 and 5 sitting down. I said:

Me:Hi
Her:Hi
Me: I think your really pretty
Her: Thanks
..........blah blah blah..............got her number but accidentally called her right away and hung up. She called back and i didnt answer. Nexted her already.

Hard Approach

This was the hardest approach ive EVER had.

6 girls sitting at a table talking: All are 7's and above

I got up and talk to the hottest girl a 9. ( my first 9 approach)

Me: Hi
Her: Hi
Me: I think your really pretty *mess up here i think
Her: thanks
Me: whats your name
Blah Blah
All of the other 5 girls were laughing their asses off while i did this. I think they laughed because I was a bit nervous.
I asked her number and got denied "I have a boyfriend"

What can I do better next time?

This guy sounds like a huge doosh!!!!!!

Ditch the wingman who is insecure, and makes fun of your approaches. You def don't need negativity around you. It will discourage your approaches and ruin your whole mind set. Just keep on doing approaches practice makes perfect........

Good journal, here's what I think of your latest approach

When you go into a group, dont approach the hottest one first, approach everyone so that they are less likely to c0ckblock/laugh @ you and the hotter one starts to gain interest in you coz u dont come to her like most guys do. Props on going in on a 6 set and the only way to lose the nervousness is to keep doing stuff that makes you nervous until you lose the fear. What you need to realize is that what happened to you on that approach is THE worst thing that could happen. How does it feel getting the worst possible scenario out of the way already? I tell you what, it feels pretty empowering. Congrats man and keep it up


Also, your wing is insecure, but most guys are concerning girls. If he is a cool guy then just dont talk girls around him. Not every guy can be a wingman
