Tonight was frustrating. I opened a handful of sets. 4 or 5 probably. But I didn't stay in any set for any amount of time. I failed to use non-canned non-opinion openers.

Worse, I had a massive bout of AA. My wing spied a 4 set, proper gorgeous girls, short tight skirts, the lot. He said to open them. 'With what?' I asked. I said I'd open them in a minute... And I just stood there. 3 minutes later, they walked away. Chance missed. And worse, I was left angry with myself. What was going to go wrong if I opened them?

I did get a number close, although it was from a girl who was part of a three set that one of my wings opened. I didn't have any problem hitting for her number, that was easy.

But I'm just not opening very well right now. Tonight when I opened, I didn't feel confident. I sort of feel lethargic with opening right now. I need to burst out of this. How? Fuck knows.

Look, the best night I've ever had sarging was a night when I opened absolutely everyone. Almost literally, there was hardly a set that went by that I didn't open. I was supreme that night, and got the results to show for it.

Since then, my game has almost become lazy. I'm not putting the level of effort in that I really should be putting in. I think I need to get myself back in that frame of opening fucking everything I see. No excuses. Fat, thin, gorgeous or not, just fucking open.

Open everything.

My sticking points are now as follows:

1. Openers - opinion openers funnel me into narrow conversations which I don't know how to move onto actual conversation.
2. When I do get into a conversation with a girl, I don't actually know what I'm doing. There's never any thought to 'Ok, I'm now going to disqualify myself' or 'I'm currently building rapport' or 'I am escalating more into kino now' or 'Lets qualify her'. None of that. I think I need to structure my game a little better. I need to actually think about why I'm saying what I'm saying to a girl. What is its purpose? What goal do I want it to achieve?

I feel like I've hit a bit of a wall again. I'll ruminate on this tomorrow, and see how I get on tomorrow night. But right now, I feel pretty frustrated.
