TFI Friday...

Well, the weekend is here, and I can't wait. My current project just finished, so the next week or so will be quite quiet, and I'm seeing the Friend tomorrow night. She wants to 'hang out' at her place, which I have only just understood as her specific shorthand for all sorts of fun, so looking forward to it. It's nice, I haven't actually been on too many dates recently where I have had that 'tingle'. Not sure if this is somethings that is common in the PUA community - does it really take away the excitement, or have I just been setting standards too low?

Other than that, planning to go to Borough market and pick up some nice food for the weekend. Cooking for friends on Sunday, so might as well go all out!

Having a lot of fun reading Sinn's blog at the moment - he has been teaching in Sydney, so I am furiously trying to internalise all the tips and tricks he and Captain Jack have been learning before I go out there. Hopefully I'll be able to go on his Day Game seminar in London before I leave - will be good to learn from the master himself! Check out his blog in the link on the right.

And finally, picked up a new phone on Ebay today - Nokia N73, with a 3.2 mega pixel camera. I'm very into photography, and really excited by having a phone that can finally take decent pictures rather than my crappy work one. Will post a review on here when it arrives!

Happy hunting y'all...

Girls, girls, girls

So, in that frustrating way that only blokes will understand, as soon as I decide to move to Sydney, I am inundated. This has never happened before! A brief rundown on the girls in my life right now:

-The Ex: lovely girl, still great friends but we just don't work together - we just push each others buttons - see each other often and have an unfortunate habit of sleeping together when we are determined not to

- Easy: a girl I met at TMM bootcamp about 6 months ago - 24, not stunning, but a lot of fun and always calls when she has had too much to drink, wanting to come over - who am I to disappoint, especially when she is filthy

- Mrs Robinson: a new addition - very cute older lawyer I met in a bar last week - Day 2 on Sunday - watch this space!

- Not with yours: met on a dating evening run by a friend - very nice, but not my type. Or yours. Or anyone's really. I'm just being a pussy - went for dinner because she is genuinely interesting, but she is looking for love, and I haven't got round to telling her to stop texting me.

- The Friend: an ex-colleague who I have had a thing for since we met 3 years ago. We were always quite close, she changed jobs and we stayed in touch. Over the last two weeks it all of a sudden got physical. She is cute, frighteningly smart, but I just cannot read this girl. She seems to shut herself away and deliberately give no signals. Only just starting to decode what for her are blatant signals, to me go way over my head. She baled on me tonight - I actually really like this one - if it wasn't for Sydney... But maybe that's why it has got physical, the pressure is off. Hmm.

- FOF: Friend of a friend who lives in NY - I'm over there regularly, and she is always happy to oblige...

So I can't complain, but lets be honest, if I were less of a rAFC, I would ditch all but the Friend, enjoy that for what it is, and practice my game rather than taking the easy option. Besides, I'm knackered!

Kick off...

So, here I am, adding my musings to the overcrowded world of blogs... why, you ask, why? I wanted a way to track my life, share my musings, get feedback on my ideas and if I happen to entertain anyone along the way, so be it!

So who am I and why should you read this? I'm English, about to move to Australia (can't wait) and am very smart. If that's a problem for you, tough, I have to deal with it, so can you... This is mainly going to be about my main interests in life - girls, gadgets, football, and crap jokes.

I recently read The Game, took a bootcamp and am an aspiring PUA - if you know what any of that means, you will likely have fun as you watch me record my faltering steps away from being a rAFC... Determined not to be a keyboard jockey - my work makes me travel a lot, so I am getting better and better at going out on my own and chatting to people, the PUA stuff has really helped with that and its a lot of fun, but more on that later. If you're interested in this stuff check out the links part - you have to read guys like Sinn, Savoy and Future.

This won't all be about pickup - read on for more about mynew life in Sydney, my weird and wonderful work life and really anything that is bugging me!
