This has to be my best daygame session so far: 11 approaches with 4 contacts, all of which replied to my feeler text.
I went clubbing in Berghain the night before and only got home at 06:30. Needless to say, waking up at noon I felt a bit groggy. Nevertheless, I set out on what was to be a productive daygame session.
My first two opens were a bit timid. Especially, the second one completely lacked intent: shoulders hunched forwards, weak “excuse me”, supplicating hand wave.. The girl quickly brushed me off (and was right in doing so). I decided to do better and focus on practicing competent daygame by deliberately drilling my side-stops that day.
Some particularly memorable sets:
Stopped a Colombian girl who instantly got my intent. She gave me a few shit tests, e.g. “is it normal for men to meet girls like that in the street?”. I stood my ground and it was her who asked for my number. I dated her later that day where we kissed passionately on multiple occasions. She wouldn’t bounce to my apartment.
Opened a Swedish/German girl who was leaning against a wall by a café on Oranienburger Str. We chatted for a bit but she wasn’t investing in the conversation. This suddenly made sense once her boyfriend arrived. I said “Hey, I just said hello to this girl, but I guess I’ll be saying goodbye now.” The three of us laughed it off, showing that if you display social intelligence, there’s really no harm - no foul.
Stopped a very pretty, elegant German girl with deep blue eyes on Hackescher Markt. I switched to German for this set, which ups the difficulty quite a bit. The open was spontaneous and I suspected she liked me. I would have suggested an instant date but she was on her way to meet friends so I got her contact instead. She replied to my feeler text and I’m hoping to see more of her.
I initially weaseled out of this set earlier in the session and regretted it. The Daygame Gods were generous this day and made our paths cross a second time. She gave me a strong IOI which turned my cold approach into a warm one as I opened her with “I saw you before, didn’t I?”. She answered with “Yes, I noticed you too and am happy we’re talking now”. Doesn’t get much better than this. I quickly switched to German as she was a local girl. I took her number as I was meeting this Colombian girl soon. We’re still chatting and she’s responding eagerly. In hindsight, I had an hour before the date and could have taken her for a quick 30 minute coffee.
This final set I opened after I decided to end my daygame session for the day. She was a Turkish girl who’s dark wavy hair and slim body with wide hips caught my eye as I was lying down in the Lustgarten. At that point I had over 50k steps (including my dancing in the club) and my legs felt spent. I opened her and felt she liked me from the very beginning. I got her number as I hurried to my date with the Colombian. We met again the next day where I kissed her and made plans to meet in Warsaw at the end of June.
I consider this my best session, not only because of the strong results (4 numbers that all replied and lead to 2 dates where I kissed both girls), but because I diagnosed a problem and solved it in the same session. As I focused on performing the side stop competently, i.e. with strong intent, clear stop signal and sexual eye contact, the girls hooked stronger and I was no longer brushed off.
