Purposefully missed the gym. Actually going everyday, but what I've found - missing the gym gives me lust and a bit of craziness. So used that for approaches.

12 approaches.
2 phones. Decided to call for a date.

Went on date yesterday with chick who I almost forgot. Suddenly she was too "closed". Over all after an hour I realized that I'm not attracted and lead her to her place.

My approach are starightforward and easy:
- going with high energy, smiling, looking straight to the eyes
- "hey girl, you look great". Trying to touch them, hug, and kiss in a chick, sometimes in lips
- mostly I'm on a bicycle, so have no time, telling that:
- "look I really have no time but want to know you better, what are you up to today? We should drink a cocktail"
- then if she said not today, "ok, when do you have time, let's go saturday". If she at least thinking - them I'm relaxing and give her a chance to pick time. If she rejects straight away - it's a signal she is not interrested. "ok, have a great day, bye"

90% of my approaches like that. I do not talk with them since it will kill the mood if you will invest and then get rejection. If she is up to for the meet - you will feel that by the spark in eyes, or laugh, or an kind of invitation. Happens she could have all that positive signals and tell you she had BF.

Sometimes I play, like yesterday for instance.
Two girls walked, one of them was with the camera. I asked her if she had a chance to make photos of me and send them to my email. She accepted that request enthusiastically. Had a bunch of photos. Subscribed her instagram to mine. No reply. No photos.

Week not end but I've got like 7 numbers. No one replied. Called them. Wrote through whatsup. Nothing
 
Yesterday:

5 approaches.
0 phones
1 flake from prev date
missed gym

Today:
7 approaches
0 phones
missed gym

Meet my gay friend, he told me he will help me get the style cloth.

Thoughs that are killing me:
Still trying to figure out, should I stay in London or should I move to Georgia \ Turkey.
Fuck I can't decide. Do I want to move out because I'm scared to stay in an regret. Or do I want to stay because I'm scared something new.

This morning I figured out that takin a british passport (living 5more years) could be really benificial. And with this I can move around the globe, meeting girls everywhere (since It's really hard for me to get some in London)

Fuck I can't find the reality. Is this emotions, is this my ego. I need to figureout fast and stick with it.
And I want girl by my side so desipare, looks like I'm ruining my life and jumping into the fire each time some pussy calls me.

Do anyone of you know if there is the chance to stay in london after work visa expiration?

Yeap, read that too. Thanks

This is the most polite questions I ever asked :)
Trying to frame it from the prespective "if you are interrested - let's go".

Switching tinder to Russian, Ukrainian, Georgina girls I've noticed that I got 7+ numbers like that:
- hey, (something about her profile)
- hahaha (continuation)
- look you're really sweet girl, I want to meet you when I will come to the place, whats your number?

got it, straight away. 0 rejections. Idk why it doesn't work in London. As the matter of fact, 90% of girls who replying to me are russians in UK. Looks like I should learn how to take a conversation with non-russian speaking.
 
- Approached a girl at the gym. Heated up, and then she had another set so I waited to catch her isolated. Yet missed the opportunity, talking with my friend.
- After gym sessoin went to the pool, and thought it wa her. Started conversatoin and the girl was recepricate. But the most interresting part in the following:

She asked me couple questions, like what I do for living, what m age, and where I'm from. After that she concluded:
- so you are a nerd, who recently opened up to secuality, figured out that he needs to gain muscles, socially awkward, yet very energetic, approaching girls everywhere.
The fuck she knews that from after a minute of a discussion.

After that I gave her a slight massage, and invited to my place. She told she have a boyfriend, but she doesn't like him because he too nice to her. I told her to drop that beta and again come to my place. She told "okay, next sunday call me".

Now interresting things - I become beta, and told her I recently stoped being virgin, and only dating girls wit boyfriends.
After that she replied that it's a scary situation, and she won't go to my place anymore.

Yet she gave me valuable suggestoin:
- talk less
- read room

After couple more cold approaches I went for a walk at the evening and approached one russian girl, we went on an instadate for 8 hours. Talked a lot about. Again I told her my story of growing up. Idea of me being honest in any direction and do not hesitate about my failures. Dealed with most shit test like "why do you ask this" - instead buttherting. Yet she saw me being nervous, but I didn't butthert. The most pleasurable part was where I again told her that I was a virgin - and she didn't pushed me back wit hnegative energy. Ye, I know, sounds too beta. Still craving for openin my "true self", rather that holding frame. But I see each time I play better and hold it stronger.

After that evening I finnaly calmed down, and became really soft. All this chaotic energy went away and I started to realize what the fuck I did for the last couple monthes with my life :)

It was fun. But now I need to fix some things.
 
Yesterday was a day of meeting friends. Yet did 7 approaches.

One of my friends figured out something.
While we talk, I called a girl walking the same direction, we spoke for about a minute, then our ways split. I called her to meet and drink cocktails. She instantly answered "I'm seeing someone". Normally I would push more, but for some reason I said "okay". Even my friend told me "why won't you push, it was a clear invitation sign". Again frame weakened.

At the eveinng went to the bar, meet a barista from another pub, we decided to grab keys and open the whole pub just for ourselves (3 dudes). While we walk I approached a girl who just being from the date. Called her to join us - refused. Yet told we may meet next sunday.

The rest approaches weren't interresting.

I see that I do more involved approaches, rather than fast "I like you, let's drink a coctail". Which is a good sign
 
1 approach. 0 results

talked with my friends a lot. Called some friends for an evening walk. No response.
Framing meeting with couple male friends to smoke cigars. Have to get some energy from successfull guys.

Thinking about reframing my approach. Need to set more clear boundaries.
I do see that I can NOT fall in love with a pretty girl after 10 hours of knowing her. And if I catch feelings - I only being "lazy" for couple hours.
Which is great results. Some time ago I was falling in love with every second girl, and being completelly shut down for days. Looks like I get more confident in understanding that girls are just girls, and I won't sell my relationship for free, especially after ultimatum.
 
Sex goals:
Flaked date that I was 99% sure.

Have another plate which could go at friday. Got viagra. Told her that, will arrange.

Another goals:
Called my long-time-ago-lost-psechoteraphist. Shared with her about my thoughts right now - got some energy to go.
Started to write stuff for my interview preparation.
Tomorrow will be one. Then will do my job stuff. Then walk with friends.

Fuck I feel calm after the flake. She is so fucking hot, yet I feel okaish. Don't want to runaway, break items or jerkoff. Which means I'm getting sane little by litte.
 
Sex goals:
2 girls called me.
Invited one of them to my place - she refused. Then I told her I'm gonna be busy till the night. Not hesitating to drop her.
With the second one I've talked a lot. She's ukrainian, we spoke about everything. Yet she told she's not into just sex and want relationship. Okay, I told her, then I will fuck another girls, and will speak with you, since I do like this connection. The most embarrasing thing I heard - she wants a mon to work hard and pay all the bills. Which is okay. But I'm not into this, better look for a FWB

Approached a girl who speak no english, working as a cleaner, and use tinder for fucking beast guys to fuck her. She gave me the whatsapp - no reply.
 
Listened Andy's podcast about not lying to girls.
Wrote some thoughts about it.

After that told a girls that she's really sexy. She smiled, yet have BF.
Same next 5 approaches.
Got number, talked about the date. She not erplying in whatsapp. But I don't think it's a ghost yet
 
Today I spoke with my friend (girl) about what is she looking and how would she feels if I will approach her like I always do. Have a long discussion.
Then I approached 2 girls on a street with the same topic.
Consclusions:
- they fell I only interresting in sex (not true). But I convey that false perception. Need to adjust
- do not tell that you're into sex straight away, be more elegant, give it some time
- do not give compliments about sex body parts (tits, ass). More about hairs, face, eyes
- do not convey you are a friend, or relationship looker, still give her a chance to decide, but do not be brutal

this two girls have BF, yet they are so cute, twisting hairs and play with their jewelry. Couple minutes conversation works better. Nice dicsovery :)

Today my FWB will come for couple hours. Will try viagra and smoke weed.

No need for viagra. Fucked 8 hours long. Fucking nice. +1 to my bucket
 
Still here.
Some updates:

all in all have sex with 8 different girls. Got 3 FWB (but I like only one), so technically 1.
Spoke with a friend (girl) and after that I feel more relaxed, loose most of the anger. Now see things more clear. The downside - have no desire to chase girls.
2 new girls asked me to come to them - I don't want.
Still aproaching but in a lesser amount, like 2 to 5 a day. Without any intent to fuck straight away.

Looking into having dates with girls without forcing them to sex.
Afraid that it could lead to a previous pattern when most of them will think about me as a friend, without sexual desires. Will see.

Listen alot of psychologies. Talk more with peoples. Slowly getting more social.

Still have a lot of scares. Write them down. Think about them constantly. Trying to push my thoughts out.
The fears I won:
- if she had a lot of lay counts - she's not GF material
- if she will have sex on a frist date - same
- if she asks about relationship - still trying to win that. I don't want that talk. But have my own boundaries. If there would be "no sex before raltionship" - then it's def. NO for me. All the rest - should be respectfully talked through communication. Which is also a screening. (BTW I can't do this properly. Reading Andy's posts and trying things out)

Something in me constantly screaming: "I deserve sex too, why I have none, and she want me to settle", sounds like a victim. But after pronouncing that out loud - I making a hard "No way I will fall under your frame". I get this fear throug. It's like: "I lived all my life, and while I get the point I am at right now - she have pleasurable time with others. Now she wanting me to stop. But I get not enough". That's how I feel about "relationship talk".

I need to pronounce out loud what I'm want from a girl.
I want:
- sex (as fast as it could be. if I feel she is playing with me, or asking me to do something for her if I don't volunteerly want that - that's a No!)
- feelings
- patience (I'm very rude sometimes, but constantly getting better and warmer)
- ability to communicate issues through
- honesty

Fucking hell. Girls all over my head no matter what I do. Meanwhile I lost my job 2 months ago. And I need one to say in UK by visa :)
But I feel I more alive now!

Will think harder to write a proper goal. Now I knew I can achieve anyhing, with a proper effort. Just need to know what I want! Thanks Andy and all you guys showing me that. Sorry for not making proper writings. But I never surrendered, just did less than usual.
 
Hey guys.

Mentioning that I did not dropped.
Long story short (not too short):
I've met a girl at 29 of August in Tinder. Instantly I saw she completelly different from those I meet in London personaly. We spoke once every week at the beginning, but the most beautifule thing we spoke very openly. For instance, I told her that I had 3 fuck buddies at that time. I told her a lot of my redpill observations. She told me lots of her fears. But we decided to move through that. I was really frightened, such as I want to meet her, but can't, since I have had issue with my visa, and if I leave UK, I would never go back. Then I made a move - and bought her a visa to meet her in London. Told her straight away, that London is a fucking expensive place, that I would only afford living in a room, not much restaurants would be involved, etc. That was so fucking hard for me, but I decided that honesty > my shame. Thanks Andy, for helping me stay with this observation, it was really hard to switch in a such a short amount of time from complete redpill to a guy who listen and care. For 2 months we spoke every day, for 4 hours at least. Once there were a record, we spoke 11 hours straight. And stopped just because she need to go work :) It is a match from a heaven. I never spoke with such a wise person, yet to say, she is a woman! Her visa was refused. Next day I decided "fuck London, I want to bould my future with this person", packed, and moved from UK to Georgia. Yes, she is Ukrainian girl, I'm Russian citizen. We gonna merry in April. I have plan to travel with her around EU. She teaches me how to be soft and warm. I teach her how to stang her ground. I opened some of ideas to her, how typical men thinks. She opens my mind what women wants. We did it through the pain and refusal. Now we are much stronger. I even remember my surroindings from London told me I would regret: "you don' know her, don't leave London, she will use you".

Now we watching Andy's podcasts together. Planning our days \ plans together. Fighting for our relationships together. I lost plethora of fears and become much more confident, yet not angry (sounds strange, but I thought been ruthless as a starwing dog - is normal for a man).

All in all - follow your heart. Go through fears. Do what you want to do, don't ask for permission. Allow yourself. Forgive yourself. Love yourself. Be strong. And give your close ones the best of you.
 
Hey guys. Long time no se :)

Still watching Andy's podcasts. Shared a lot of hours talking with my GF (almost wife) about the path I've passed and her path towards meaningful relationships.

I am coming back little by little.

A bit if description. In order to meet this sweet lady I have to leave London, including losing my job, losing visa, being Russian (on a time writing this post there is a war in Russia, so lots of places are rejecting russians), I have a few places to live. Not to say she is Ukrainian girl. Now I got almost full picture, so I would not be able to get back to UK, or EU. Back then I would only need to find a job to get a visa. Nowadays I have to live in a country (Georgia currently) for a year or so, then I have to commit somehow to this country to get residence permit, with this residence permit I can apply for Schengen visa to leave a country to some other place, then I have to rapidly find job in a new country and set my documents for a residence permit. That is just an example.

Yesterday I understand that I have couple ways to do this:
- find a job as a remote contractor for a big company in UK
- work few years in that company, meantime contributing in to my profession on a spare time
- write a book \ make an impact via blogs \ presentation in a meetups
- be great at my job so high manager of a company will write recognition letter
- apply for Exceptional talent visa
- leave Georgia

Even to find a job I have to study hard and spend lots of time for this. I'm ready for that shit.

First few months were hard, not only because I've never had a relationship, but including my tons of fears. But I stepped on their throats and walk over them. After few months we decided to marry. Wedding is going to be mid April this year.

In addition to the plan of getting harder into tech to leave my current country, I'm reading courses on how to become manager. This should help me to progress towards my carrier.

I paused doing physical exercises and lost 10kg and tons of muscles. Neither to say I've being poisoned twice already. Quality of groceries is far less than in UK.

Over all life is much less pleasant as it was in London. Yet now I'm with the person who is willing to dedicate with me. We are building our future together.

We talk much about relationship of others. Like watching movies and communicating through what we see and how we would better act. Progressing to build foundation.

There is plethora of stuff to handle. I am organising my live towards main goals. Listening to J.B.P. podcasts about self understanding. Trying to find why am I angry sometimes towards completely innocent acts of behaviour and so forth.

Main goals are next:
- get back to exercises
- do tech preparations
- gather points for my visa case
- understand myself better
- support my wife

Some cold ones, like finding what drives me outside of work. Yesterday we blacksmithed silver rings for each other. It was fun. I do like to work by hand. Have to find something like that.

I will try to write my day to day goals and achievements here again.
Thanks all you guys. I finally made my relationship. Now time to build life.

See ya
 
26/03/2023 Sunday

Relationship goals:
- give some personal space and time for each other
- household duties
- time together in a fancy place and long walk
- discussing cases about each other view and relationship in particular
- making plans and adjust our future to the current circumstances

Personal goals:
- talked with the friend about time management, books, career ladder and possible ways to went to UK back again
- did a bit of home exercise + vacuum
- cleared out my cold task and rebuild current plan of living
- called parents to tell everything is alright with me

Career goals:
- discussed with a friend about possible project I could use to provide for my visa
- asked for ref into the job
- added 2 more countries to the possible pathway to get back to UK
- discussed a manager book with my wife (she also heard a lot about the book: 45 tattoos of a manager)
- tied my cold task to build a plan with the better foundation
- cleared vision a bit

Overall it was a great week.
After not working for half a year I had a very strong case of fear of being rejected by job hunters. Struggle on every case but pushed myself towards the necessity of finding a job. Thanks Sveta, she have balls to tell me in the eye: "don't run", and I accepted technical interview. Interestingly, the company I have bad expectations actually went very good, but the second tech interview in another company was the worst nightmare. Yet I stayed strong, didn't fell into the high amount of stress (yet smoked a cigarette, I'm not smoker btw).
Another win, I stopped playing video games. Since February I played witcher 3 every day for couple hours, not anymore and I don't want.
Looks like I'm getting back to the guy I used to be in London, but without fuckboy persona. Yet I still see dreams of having multiple womens, don't know where they comes from. Discussing this with my wife anyway, which increases our bond in a trustworthy relationships.

Will progress towards my main goals, and clear my vision overcoming obstacles. That's the plan for near future. Thanks Sveta, she will help me with that, plus, she know how to relax, and teach me how to do that properly.

Until next time folks

Thursday

There is no point of copy-pasting from my journal. So I would rather make a note for most valuable points from a day.

Today I went to the meetup to get info about the current situation for dev market and how to get out from this country.
Took contacts of 2 girls. Being invited to the local group of devs. Which I would use to gather info about how to become IC here, and is there any chance to get residence permit for russians. Then I've been suggested to one closed community, will figure out does 20euros worth it or not (probably yes, since I need more sources of information). And met another dude who had even more interesting story that I do. He was in UK for 5 years (5.5 years to receive ILR, and after a year you can get passport), but during the UK shit medicine he had to go back to Russia to heal, and lost his visa. Now he also stuck. Yet he had some friends who can pay to gov to receive visa. He can go next year to Germany. He also suggested me to go to the Germany, since it is one of the easiest way to receive documents. I also thought about UAE. Will see.

Overall great day.
Accomplished a lot of stuff.
Even listened to JBP podcasts and were very encouraged. He talked about why suppressing males in school is s shit idea and how the idea of being submissive is proclaimed bad from society.
Great guy!

My junior student had problems again. I think she won't stay committed for long. Up to her. Need to find another source of practice my teaching skills.

Friday

Today I have had an interview with the company I most liked. I honestly answered every question pushing my line, even though I thought it would show me in negative way. But I wanted to be open and transparent, because I want that from my colleagues. Interview went well. Next Tuesday I would have an interview with CTO of a company. Still looking for more offers, I should not stop until success.
Then we did health checks. Walked around the city. Drinked coffee, talking about children and family picture. Then we went to the shop, Sveta bought some stuff while I have had more interviews on phone. Half of them went extremely well. Then we went back home and prepared to leave this city back to our own home.

Idk why I again telling all of that, probably because I am tired. In a good way.
Overall what is the experience from the day. Stand your way. Do not bend. But be agile. Make a plan. Do your best. As always. Strive and you will succeed. I am grateful for this interview and for Sveta's suggestions telling me I will find a good spot for my temperament and I grateful for all she did to me.
