After reading some of the other game logs on this forum, I'm motivated to start my own. I think keeping a public journal like this will be great for mental clarity, accountability and for meeting new wings in my area.
My goal is to do 100 daytime approaches over the next 10 weeks. I plan on doing mostly indirect apporaches, Daybang style.
About me... I'm 29 years old, white, 6'4 and a very lean 75 kilos. I've had experience with daytime approaching in the past, but it's been so long since I've done any serious and consistent daygame; that I may as well be a total newbie.
I live in a city widely considered to be one of the worst for daygame in the world: Melbourne, Australia.

Anyway...
I got into the city very early today (8am), I figured there would be plenty of office chicks on their way into work I could approach, but it was really slim pickings. None of the stores were open yet and the streets were pretty empty. Lesson learnt!
Approach #1:
As I was walking down the street and I noticed that there were a bunch of teddy bears sitting on the steps outside a church, so I stopped to take a look. Then I noticed there was an attractive, petite girl with light brown skin standing to my right also checking out the collection of stuffed toys.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes?" She replied.
"Do you know what the deal is with these bears?"
"Ehh... My English is not good." She giggled.
"OK, I'll talk slow then... Do you know why there are bears on these stairs?"
We worked out that somebody must be selling bears for Valentines Day (tomorrow). She seemed friendly; I told her I liked her accent and she mentioned she was from Brazil and she hadn't been speaking English very long. I should've rambled about travel at this point. I noticed she was holding a GoPro, so I enquired about that.
"Oh this? This belongs to my husband."
Fuck, I thought to myself.
We chatted for another minute, then I wished her a good day and left.
Approach #2:
A few minutes later I noticed a girl checking me out as I walked past her, she had long dark hair, green eyes and freckles. She was a solid 7 in my books.
"Excuse me?" I opened with.
"Yeah."
"Do you know where the markets are?" I asked.
"Hmm... I think they're over that way." She replied.
"Oh you've got an accent, are you from America?" I asked.
This was stupid of me. I jumped straight into personal questions before rambling or dropping any bait.
We hung around and chatted for a minute, she was actually pretty friendly. Then I just froze and couldn't think of anything else to say, so I bailed. I let a good opportunity slip through my inexperienced fingers there.
Lessons learnt for tomorrow's session...
1) I need to get into the city later when there are more people out.
2) I need to ramble more.
3) I need to stay in set longer.
Homework for tonight...
Reread the chapters in Daybang about opening, rambling and street approaching.
