Three points: #1 As a rail enthusiast, I've always wanted to combine my love of trains and meeting new women. Kudos there :-) When I was in your town, I was riding all over the place. And yes, gorgeous (+)(+) everywhere! #2 When you walked up to this girl, how precisely did you do it? Mystery advocates opening the set over your shoulder (as if you were on your way to somewhere), instead of a bee line walkup to her face. If you can do bee line and it works, I'd be happy. #3 This applies to life in general. For anyone reading this: how good is your sleep? Bad sleep totally kills my social performance along with everything else. Top grade sleep makes me outgoing and while it's still challenging to approach strangers (and I don't always do it), it's MUCH easier. Why does this never get mentioned in the pickup world? Hey Eric,

I always keep coming back to posts such as this one, that describe the 'early days' of a true PUA, to which many others, including me, aspire. Not necessarily aspirations in terms of actual approaches or 'conquests' the Artist has achieved, but in terms of effectively dealing with one's inner demons. Inner demons, by the way, that prevent you not only from approaching girls, but a whole lot of other people in a variety of social situations, for that matter. Subway game has also become a Holy Grail for me. Here in Athens, Greece, one can find some of the greatest examples of Mediterranean beauty gathered on the platforms and/or in the trains. I admit having become obsessed with subway, since the time, a few weeks ago, I had a successful approach and kiss-close on the first and last date, with a girl (not a hottie though). It was her shocking eye-contact that enabled me to ask for the phone-number and get it in less than thirty seconds. [Only to become filled with remorse on the first date, because I rightly thought of it as cheating on my gf, whom I am not totally happy with, though. I am not married/engaged, I should say as an excuse, and, above all, I will be sincere towards the current gf, whenever something intimate takes place with a 'third party'...] Anyway, I have great trouble approaching the way Eric does in this post. In fact, I have hardly ever done this. I may have become subconsciously addicted to expecting IOIs, for one thing, while of course, on the other, EVERYONE in the subway can hear you approaching -and getting rejected... I wear a relatively formal outfit (blazers, business shirts etc), so I have stuck with the idea that it is not socially acceptable -in my mind- to go around talking to strangers at least in such a 'conservative' outfit. Is approaching in this social situation but also in others, also worthless , if you 're just doing it randomly, without attempting previous eye contact, eg? I suspect an answer is 'of course it is worth the experience, even an outright rejection counts towards your experience', but is it enough -to give you the guts to approach strangers?
