I'm going to bring back the video logs.
I was revisiting my old log posts from a year ago and can observe the veritable change in my vibe since then, thanks to the videos.
Of course, reading and writing text is more efficient so like that time, I'll be also writing accompanying text.
But I think it's more real to see me actually talk. Plus I need to improve my voice.
Anyway, had a date on Wednesday afternoon and then Thursday evening.
Date with unattractive black girl
https://streamable.com/g61pgp
I met up with a black chick who turned out to look worse and fatter than her pics on Tinder. But since I'm just trying to get lays and experience, and maybe she'll be feminine and submissive and it'll override her looks, I rolled with the date.
We entered the taco place and she ordered a water while I ordered a prickly pear agua fresca, because I like fruity drinks.
Standard conversation, and then I went for my "let's listen to my music at my place" pull after around 20 minutes.
oh we're going pLAcEs now??!!!?!?!!
yes we're going to listen to my music at my place
...oh ok
We entered my room and I shut the door. She immediately asked if she could get comfortable on my bed, which I thought was a good sign.
Then I brought over my laptop and showed her 2 of my songs in the project files.
Then I showed her a song I didn't write, and then put on my standard escalation album.
Got the makeout pretty easily, but then I was kneeling and craned over her in an uncomfortable position.
So I lie down and told her to lie down as well. but,,,
no i'm good here
it's more comfortable here, come lie down
no i'm comfortable here
uhhhh.....ok
So we listened to some more music. Not knowing what else to do, I went for the makeout again, got it, and then did the same thing with the lying down. And she rejected it again.
I tried a third time to makeout, and this time
have you had a girlfriend before?
yeah i had one in high school and one in college. what about you. not a girlfriend ofc
haha yeah, i've not had a girlfriend. but i haven't had a boyfriend yet
you have like all this pent up energy...
I ignored it and chilled.
you keep trying to sneak attack me
oh okay, LeT's KiSs
wow, you're learning!
That super turned me off but we made out again for a bit, this time I tried to get into her more to see if she would start cracking if I tried to make do with being uncomfortable and craned over her.
Softly grabbed her neck to fake choke her, various parts of her body.
Then I went for her breasts over her shirt and she batted my hand away.
I went for her waist and then disengaged.
At some point,
i'm good with the kissing, but it seems like you want more
yeah obviously i do. but we can just end it if you're good with the kissing
yeah actually
So I walked her out to the bottom of the elevator, asked if she was good, and then let her walk off to her car.
Date with cute Indian chick
https://streamable.com/in8ucz
This is the first time I've gone on a date with an Indian girl, strange enough. She had a completely American accent like I do.
I showed up 3-5 minutes after she did. We had a standard chat for 20 mins and then go for the pull. She declines with "i'm not tryna go to your place"
Now in the past, I would have been pushy about the pull and tried multple "tactics" to get her to agree. Check out this date where I
pushed ~15x in an attempt to get the girl back
I started dialing it down though. The last time I was in a
similar situation, I had even only gone for the pull 3 times, spread out over probably an hour. I even thought the date ended on a "good note".
However, when I tried to pitch a second date, I was met with this:
So my thought going forward was, oh if she doesn't go for the pull, I should end the date because that will increase the chance I get a second date, I can end the date on a good note, and then she doesn't think I' being overly desperate.
ok let's end it for today then
ok
I paid for the drinks, engaged in 5 more minutes of chat while I waited for the bartender to take the check.
Then I got up and started to leave and told the girl let's go, to come with. My intention was to just walk her back to her car and e.g. talk about meeting up again and etc.
But to my surprise:
i'll just stay here actually
I thought that was bizarre. She wants to just stay here? uh...ok i guess
Now literally any normal person will read the above report and be like "seems like you didn't like the girl?" "why did you just end the date?" "you came off as showing you only wanted sex"
That wasn't even what I thought though, before I had messaged my group chats. I was thinking, well that went pretty well. She didn't want to pull on the first date, and I didn't push for it multiple times so I should be able to get a second date.
However, regardless of my intentions, and "to my shock", immediately ending the date after a pull rejection comes off as desperate as "pushing 20x for the pull". I explained above what I actually thought, but the universe doesn't care about "what you think".
Takeaways
It's continually frustrating making the kinds of mistakes that are like "if you were just a fucking normal person, this wouldn't even be how you would fuck up". It really hits me right in the insecurities I have regarding "not feeling like I belong in this world" and generally just feeling like a total fucking alien. As in, "socially obvious" things continue to be complete news to me.
And then I feel like every normie asshole shows up and gets a rush out of telling me off about how much of an alien I am and I "deserved" to get burned. People who are typically timid show up all of a sudden and start acting hyper-aggressive at me being socially retarded.
^that's a bit of an emotional ramble. But ultimately it is true. My "intentions" don't matter insofar as they're not getting me the result. And it's repeatedly the case that my actions are not congruent with my actions, mainly out of lack of awareness.
I could write a 2000 word post about how my zero empathy and lack of social awareness has continually hurt me in dating, but I'll save it for another time. For now, it's basically going to be lots of grinding, going through dates, getting feedback on the dates, to just learn all the different optimal things to do to get what I want.
Like the escorts 2 months ago, this whole "no empathy or care for other people and no social awareness" was something I was made aware of months ago and knew it was dampening my progress, but I didn't "get to it" until now. Not to mention I've seen many guys have the "opposite" problem where they are
too empathetic to girls and end up becoming doormats as a result. So I had an existing resistance towards it.
But now that I've gotten burned by fucking up with a cute girl I actually liked, and even thought the date went "well", it hit me in a way like never before.
My next log post will be posting the aforementioned date stack I am writing up in order to have dates that are conducive to not only pulling and hooking up, but getting second dates if the girl does not pull/hook up on the first date. I will be writing it, running it through Troy, and then I'll post it.
