Underground. I opened. She walked away quickly. 4. Underground. I opened. Talked foŕ 20 sec. She walked away quickly.

Was she against time-bridging because she couldn't agree on a time or because she wasn't interested in meeting you again? WHy do you think so? I don’t really remember. 5/24 1. Street opened. Hopped to her friend left quickly. 2. Street set. 2 minute set. Said she had a boyfriend. 3. Street set. Walked away into store fast. I could have followed her like Bambino would..

5/23 1. Street set. College student going on a date. 2. Street set. Girl waiting for office worker friend. Really not good so I dropped the set. 3. Street set student going home. She moved into a crowd and I lost her. I should have stopped her. Cafe set 1. Nurse in Gangnam. Boyfriend calls. She signals that he wants to talk to me. I pretended i didn't understand. Then she just asked me to leave. 2. Street set. Leaving alver. Two set one with donald duck doll. Set hooked. Asked where they were going. Got nervous and asked to eat. She said she already ate. They started smoking I ejected. Ishould have called in Bambino as my wing. 3. Street set. Girl going to bus to go home. I told her not to go home. She laughed and hung around for a bit. (Amazing how that works) Her bus came. She left. Should have tried to kakao close.

5/ 22 1. Cafe set. Just complimented her. I was heading to dinner. I should have followed through, but i was just thinking of food. 2. Yuganae. I opened with same color clothes. We were both wearing pink. She was getting more banchan. I ejected because i felt weird. I had never opened in a restaurant before. Maybe I should have opened again at her table? 3. A walking set in Gangnam station. She hooked. She was going home. I told her not to go, she stayed. I seeded Japanese ramen. Tried to timebridge she said no. We talked more about food and travel. I seeded milk tea and said that I was going for some now. She should come. She said no. I should have done more attraction. 4. Cafe set. I opened a girl studying at Alver. Her English was really good. I said she studied in California. She said no. After a couple wrong guesses she admitted she was in Texas for a year. I tried to talk about what she was studying. She is a graduate student in translation. She gave short answers. I should have talked more about her time in the US. She seemed busy, I ejected. I should have stscked on being uncomfortable. That was the theme today. I was uncomfortable I ejected. Next time I will just keep stacking. 5. I opened one more set in Alver coffee after writing this. I waved and said hi as she passed by to pick up stuff she ordered. She laughed. When she came back her friend joined her and then left to smoke. I immediately went and opened. She seemed Keen and after talking a bit motioned for me to sit. Her friend came back. I introduced myself to the obstacle. She spoke English really well. I started qualifying the first one through the obstacle. I tried to talk to both. I called over to Rico. He didn't hear me. I kept sarging. I asked if they had Kakaotalk. The obstacle said she would give me her Kakao. Oops. I gave my phone to my target first. If only someone had invented a way to talk to someone out of earshot. Oh yeah. I remember they did. Haha. I texted Rico to come over and called me and hung up quick. He came over. Smooth sailing. I seeded Dos Tacos. I tried to time bridge giving two days. She said lets talk by message. We exited.

I met with Vision. He helped me out with some good advice and some coaching. We headed and met with Bambino to do some street sets. I don’t remember the sets exactly. I should have taken notes like I usually do after sets. I remember the sets going pretty well. My vibe was better. Something about how I was saying things. My practiced lines were coming out weird. not like my normal speaking with friends. I was practicing applying his advice. The girls responded well. The goal open bt spike, find out what they are doing. Then tell them not to do that. I remember one set from Indonesia. It was a two set. They were traveling. I opened once talked a bit then ejected. I went back in after a few minutes. It was hard to hear her she spoke so softly. I couldn’t hear how long she was traveling for. I forgot to get her line. It took me a few times to remember what to say in set. I opened a couple sets going home and I forgot to tell them not to. After a while I remembered and the girls laughed. Definitely improved the vibe. I went to Itaewon with The Rock, and Bambino. I did streets sets. It was hard but fun. Around 3 while looking for a taxi(surprising few that night) Bambino opened a two and called me in. Field report will follow. We bounced them for drinks and then they left for home. We went back to Gangnam. We felt good so we went over to Burning Sun and opened girls sitting outside. We each opened a couple two sets on the way and there. One I opened went well. I called in Rico to wing. They were both dancing students. My target was there for her friends birthday party. I was talking and kinoing her lower back, she had a half shirt on. She was showing me picks on her phone. I forgot to Kakao close her, before she said she had to leave to go back in. That was another thing I ws supposed to be working on tonight. Major mistake. She was really hot. I will definitely do that next time.

Did you try to set a time-bridge or #close her? No. When girls mention they have a boyfriend on the d1 I usually drop it. Next time I will ask how long they have dated. Did you know she was with her friend or was she waiting for her friend but you didn't know that or..? She said she was sogetting. She said she didn't know when he would arrive. She did talk to him on the phone twice before he came. I don’t know who called who. Now is a great time to think of what you could have said. Any ideas? Maybe. You are a good older sister. Then stack on with what I am doing and ask what they are up to. Please write this up in detail. Presumably you tried to time-bridge because she showed interest in some of your seeds. Or was this just a hail mary even though she wasn't giving you much compliance? She was talking to me a lot. Her schedule was crap. She works every night at a pub in Itaewon and works days acting. She just did a shoot in Shinsa so that is why she was meeting her sister there.

5/20 1. Two set shinsa 2. White shoe street set. I opened twice running around people. Maybe I should have kept stacking. 3.Apple store actress. She works day acting and night at a pub in Itaewon. It was a log set. Tried to time bridge but she said no. 4. Apple store two set. Girl with her younger sister. They were looking at ipad when i opened. They walked away. I saw them on the street. I said hi and she smiled. I should have opened again but I couldn’t think of what to say. 5. Two set on street. Didn't hook. 6. Single set. Sped up after I opened. Should maybe have done daygame.com stop. 7. Single set going to garosugil for shopping. She was moving so fast I lost her in a crowd. I should have stopped her somehow.

5/19 1. Street set. I asked where she was going. She went right into Lush. Would it be good to go along? 2. Gangnam station. Waved off. Sped up 3. Street set. Got call walked with her for 3-4 minutes while she talked. Finally just ejected. I will just eject when they get a call next time. Not worth it. Girls just talk and talk. 4. Uniqlo girl. Opened. Then staff came and took her somewhere. I went to Shinsa with Bambino.. 5. Shinsa station open. Seemed keen. She has a boyfriend. 6. Street set. Chinese girl studying in Busan. Going back tomorrow. She was going to meet a friend. I could have walked with her and met friend. Maybe tried to meet her tonight. 7. Cafe set garosugil. First year high school. 8. Street Two set. They stopped fo a minute. then kept walking. I should have called in my wing. 9. Cafe set. I thought it was going well. I tried to get kakao id her friend came and took her. 10. Street set. Good set but she has a boyfriend. Bambino instadated two Japanese girls. They were here for two more days. He bounced them to C29. It is a cheesecake cafe. I say he because he knew some Japanese. They knew very little English. He was able to say some Japanese words or phrases to keep them coming along and interested. I used Google translate to talk to my target. I tried to seed hookah next. One ws interested one was not according to Bambino. I should have seeded dark galbi restaurant for tomorrow, then line closed her. (They both said they liked dalkgalbi and jean.) Maybe makgeolli and pajeon would have been a good seed. They said they want ed to be up early the next day to go to Myeongdong and Hongdae for shopping. What would have been a good way to handle this? They are leaving sometime Monday. I almost forgot l. Street set in Gangnam. I winged Bambino. Girl didn't really speak English. Bambino told her I could speak Korean well. She said oh yeah? Then blurted out something really fast and said what did I say? I said i knew a little. She seemed to get friendlier. She could speak English well before but she forgot it. She doesn't like Korean living. She wants to get out. She is office worker. I said she could practice with me. She started speaking some English. When she spoke Korean though it was really fast. I jsut didn't understand. Her friend who spoke English well said she wanted to be friends. She kakao closed me. Now I know how girls feel when I speak teally fast. Good lesson.

What does this mean? 1. Should I qualify her more? 2. Is this do comfort?

5/18 1. Open. She just waved. 2. Talked to for a minute. Her friends came and she left. 3. Sitting set near station. Opened. Meeting friend. Guy friend came and they left. 4. Again girl meeting friends. I opened she talked for a minute. She got a text and left. 5. I opened a street set at night at around one after salsa dancing. She smiled but walked quickly away. Maybe setting was part of it. It was a dark street and we were the only two on it. There was one more. But I can't remember it. I am unsure what to do when women are meeting friends like Fridays. Maybe it is night game. The women seem to go so quickly. Sets are over really fast.

I tried to include how I would run the set better next time for most of these sets. 5/16 1. Subway. Good set. I should have tried to kakao close. ( I did in later set) 2. Complimented fashion. She said thanks and walked quickly away. Not sure what to do better. I think I opened her yesterday or the day before. She did the same thing. I guess I could try Daygame.com stop. 3. Don't remember. 4. Gangnam station sitting set. I seeded foreign food but she only likes korean. I seeded milk tea but she doesn't like milk. I think she has an allergy. I could have tried seeding kinds of alcohol. 5. Street set. Going to bus. I should have waited with her and plowed forward. 6. Quick street set. She was meeting a friend soon. Kakao closed quickly right before friend came. I should have found out friends name and ran 2 set game when the friend came.

5/15 1. Subway set. I opened. She got off next station. 2. Shinsa station. I saw a girl holding a cake. I said your birthday? I started singing happy birthday. Guy came into the set. I guess it was his birthday. I wished him happy birthday and left. 3. Street kakao closed. 4. Street. Fashion designer. Went to Cad hagwon. Going to subway. She got a call while i talked and walked with her. We were near the subway entrance so i dropped the set. How long do you stay with a set when they get a phone call? 5. Street sitting. She would respond then quickly go back texting. Maybe next time sit down and keep talking. I felt awkward so I dropped it. What do you suggest? 6. Daiso. Opened. She laughed walked away. Bambino came out. 7. Two set. They left shortly after opening. 8. Two set Alver coffee. Not good when i saw them up close. Ejected shortly after opening.

5/13 I was sick yesterday so i didn’t go out. I went out today. I did 3 sets on the way and at the Express Bus terminal. 1. Subway set. Opened at chungmuro station. Kakao closed by Express bus station. She was going to hagwon in Daechi. 2. College student going to Daejeon. Left after a minute to catch her bus.. 3. College student meeting friend for shopping. She called her friend after a few minutes and left. 4. I went to Alver. I opened a set on the way out. Bt spiked her. Found out she was meeting friends. A minute later the friends came down.

I probably coud have just said she was really interesting and asked for her kakao. Since they were from Gyeonggi-do I could have said that country girls are good at cooking. Asked them if they can cook. Then showed pics of food I made.

5/12 I went out with Bambino to Coex. We made a a plan together before we went out. I would open at least 8 sets. I did about 10. I was just opening, bt spiking, and finding out what they were doing. Bambino noticed that I didn’t have good eye-contact with the girls. I would break it. I was also speaking too fast, so my voice projection wasn’t great. The last few sets I worked on eye-contact. I had a few good sets. One girl waiting for her boyfriend near the bathroom. A three set of college girls; one was responsive. I should have stopped them. One girl shopping at the end. I wasn’t feeling good. I stayed in to work on eye-contact. I dropped the set after a few minutes. I should have tried to kakao close but I just wanted to get out of there. Thanks Bambino for coming out and pushing me.

5/11 I did three sets today. The first was a two set on the subway. I opened them on the platform and continued on the subway. They werre going shopping at Express bus treminal. I ran out of things to say after a while. I remembered more things later thinking back on it. The second set was a 4 set on the street. I thought they werre a two set. They were quickly taken away by the two in front. The third one was at the crosswalk. I tapped her and she jumped a bit. I opened her but she just looked at me weird and walked away.

5/10 I probably did about 9 sets. 1. Subway. Didn't hook. 2. Street I opened she said she was busy going somewhere. I met with Vision. He pumped up my state. 3. Girl didn't hook. 4. Worker going home. Said bye. Went into a shop. 5. Girl going to Yoga. Pretty good set until she realized she was late and then took off before I could say much about meetng after. I should have found out when her lesson ended and tried to meet after rather than ask her when it starts. I teased her she was late and she realized she was. 6. 2 set. Challenged me when I opened with do you have a problem. Next time I will answer smiling "Yes. Many drawing tears on my face." I sarged on. They were others for food. 7. Single set went well. She was meeting her friend soon. Her friend arrived like two minutes later. She went to her friend and they went in a cosmetics shop. What is a way to keep the set going to number close? She left. Should I follow? Is it better to try to number close quick when you know people are coming. I forgot the other two sets. I had a really good set in Twosome. Single set. Talked for a long time. Timebridged and kakao closed. Realized. After every couple sets I should write a couple notes to help remember. I am afraid of missing some sets. Sometimes cute girls come one right after another.

Thanks. I will try that. Also next time when I am tired I will do a couple street sets and then go to a cafe.

5/9 I did four sets yesterday. 1- subway set home. She was student. Lost track of what to say when talking about her home. I will move to food next time In the evening really tired. 2- Street set. Complimented fashion. She said thanks and left quick. 3- Slow walking street set. Stopped talked for a bit. She was going to meet friend. She tried to leave again to meet friend. I walked with her. I thought it was in Gangnam. Turned out she was taking a bus to meet friend. Definitely ask where she is meeting friend next time. 4 - I opened but didn’t hook. Went to cafe with another guy. Too tired to open.

Oops. One error already. Set 5 i seeded hot chocolate not dos tacos.

May 8th First day went ok. I approached 7 sets. 1st- Shinsa station. Coming home from work. Walking set. Opened ok. I ran out of things to say after a minute she left. 2nd - Opened walking across Gangnamdero. Acting student. Set seemed to go ok. We were walking toward Zara then she said something in Korean and took off the other way saying bye quickly as she left. 3rd set - Seemed to respond well. Was going to meet boyfriend. I dropped the set. 4th set - Outside Kyobo near the crosswalk. She was going to meet a friend for dinner. Seemed to be going ok. Her friend pulled up in a car. She got in and left. 5th - Kyobo bookstore. Dance student. Lives in Gangnam. I time bridged her for Sunday at 2pm for Dos Tacos. Number closed. 6th - Open a two set as they were separating. The target ran off. 7th - Opened outside Gangnam station. She was nurse. Lives and works in Gangnam. Seemed to go ok. Thought I time bridged her for Dos Tacos tomorrow. I tried to Kakao close her. She said she had no kakao or line. She would just meet me there tomorrow. That was really weird blow off but ok. 5th set when I time bridged seemed hesitant. She waited a long time before she agreed. She said she was surprised. Something about us just meeting. I didn’t understand in Korean. She was having a hard time trying to in English. Then she gave up. I said that we were meeting to get to know each other. I am unsure how to handle this.

On account of spring and skirts getting shorter, I decided I will do a challenge. It wil be from May 8th to August 8th. I will open at least three sets a day. An open will count when I open with intent and the girl notices my open. If I don’t open 3 sets, those remaining sets will be added to the next day’s total to do. I will post about them in this daily log. At the end of the 90 days I will have had multiple dates and at least one lay. There may be daily and weekly challenges; like opening 3 sets in cafes. In addition, I will be learning more Korean. I will probably add it in as I go. I will try to find one phrase or word to add in each day. If there is something that I want to say in the set but I don’t know the word I will write it down and search for it after. Then I will try to add it in to the next set.

Well campers. It was a wild weekend in Seoul hanging out with RedpoleQ. Thanks again to all of you who came out. It was nice to meet you. Thanks again to F my BC Partner and wingman. I learned a lot this weekend. I had never done cold approach before. I got a lot of practice this weekend. The weekend started with a meeting in a coffee shop in Itaewon. I got to meet many of the alumni of the bootcamp who are running game in Seoul. They were a great bunch of guys. Redpole taught us what to say and do. It was great to have RedpoleQ tell me what to say in the beginning. Then we off to practice. We did a lot of practice. On Friday we went to a couple bars. First we went to Thursday Party. I opened one good set there. She was with two friends but they had abandoned her. I opened, bt spiked, and kinoed her. I didn’t bounce her or timebridge her. I tried to open another set of two but didn’t open in time. We also went to Glam in Itaewon. I fumbled around missing openings. I opened a couple two sets opening the girl but not opening her friend and it fell apart. Redpole was always there say what to do and say to start the set. He was even there to move my body when I wasn’t standing close enough. It was great. The Rock also was there be supportive and be my wingman at times. It was a lot of fun. I had never approached so many women in one night. After we did some nighttime street game. I didn’t think that women would be up for this after a night out, but I opened a two set and brought in my BC partner. It ended by the girls getting a phone call and leaving some guy that showed up. On Saturday we went to MoneyBean in Gangnam. It was a great place. There were a lot of money women there. I did one set there. I hesitated sitting down because her bag was on the chair. She responded well to the opening. I talked to her for a while giving bt spikes. We had a lot in common. She was from Incheon. She only had an hour before an English class at a hagwon. I tried to timebridge her but she couldn’t meet next weekend because of an interview in Busan. I didn’t try to timebridge her for the next weekend or walk her out. Another lesson learned. Redpole always had answers how to improve the set. Things that I didn’t even think of. Next we did some street game in front of Paris Croissant. I made many approach mistakes where the women moved past me before I had opened them. I got blown out a few times after opening. I had one good set with a girl who was waiting for her friend. I didn’t time bridge her before her friend came. I did open the friend and brought in my wingman or else he showed up. Both her and her friend ended up being models for department stores. They were about twenty years old. She was off to New York on Monday. Then she got a call and took off. I am still kicking myself about that one, but in the past I wouldn’t ever have approached her. Saturday night we went to Octagon. This night Socrates came out and sarged with us. It was wild. There were a lot of people. I had been to club before but I never tried to open girls moving through. I think everyone in the club knew that. I got bumped around a lot. I made a lot of mistakes opening. I opened too late after they had passed. I didn’t get their attention well first. I got a lot of support from Redpole and Socrates. Thanks guys. I did open a three couple set well and brought in two wing men. It fell apart when one of her friends wanted to leave. I opened a two set well and brought in my wingman but I didn’t think she was interested even though she was giving me compliance by leaning in to hear some of my questions. Redpole even came in and covered the girls friend while I talked to her. I made a mistake of thinking she wasn’t interested and stopped talking. She left soon after. I opened one girl of a two without opening her friend and they left. I opened one girl of a two set and brought in my wingman without opening the second girl. I opened a good two set at the coat pickup and brought in my wingman. The girl gave me some compliance although they were waiting to get their coats. I didn’t time bridge her though. After they got their coats they promptly left. I opened a two set with RedpoleQ at a Pocha. I actually opened them in the middle of the intersection when a taxi was trying to pass. Oops. I made a mistake and didn’t open her friend. My prospect wasn’t interested but I kept trying while they were waiting for their table. Her friend seemed to get a kick out of it though. They left for their table and I gave up. Sunday we went to Coex Mall. The first set was the hardest, my nervousness was high. My first set was a Japanese girl. I opened and bt spiked her. She was in town from Tokyo until Monday. I didn’t timebridge her or find out her job. I didn’t bounce her because I didn’t’ think of it until the after talk with RedpoleQ. I saw her again and tried to timebridge her to coffee or icecream but she turned me down. I successfully opened two other single sets. I btspiked them. I didn’t do much kino. The first girl didn’t like to be touched or didn’t like the way I was touching her. The other I just touched her on the arm and shoulder. One I didn’t timebridge because she looked good far away but not up close. It was funny. I saw this hot girl on her phone and followed her across the mall. I was waiting for her to get off the phone to open her I followed her outside when she finally hung up. I was about to open her when she walked right to her boyfriend. Ah se la vie. Overall it was a fun weekend. I learned and grew a lot. I just need to keep applying the things I have learned.
