Sarging where people know you: Good or bad idea?

I am new to the PUA world, a few days ago in London at a local pub I tried my first technique, the Best-Friends Test on two HBs. One is my friend's girlfriend, the other one was my target. This guy I know was listening and told to my friend that I was sarging the two, girlfriend and target. Both guys know about Style's book.
Now, they can potentially go like: "Hey, that guy is using some PUA lines with you guys..!" again.
By the way the day after, I went back and I couldn't relax without drinking, thinking that someone else knew about me using PUA techniques.
Later I open other two HBs but I was preventing myself to Number Close, and I didn't, afraid to see the same situation happen again.
Now: Should I stop sarging there? Any tips?

It sounds like your getting really paranoid about it all. If you dont feel comfortable doing there then you shouldnt. I usually find myself more relaxed sarging places where I dont know people so I dont care what they think. Also you dont want to be around anyone who you know may try to cock-block you.

Just go down to west end, no one knows you and you dont know no one.

Guys I'm seeking for a wingman, drop me a line if you're interested :-)

dude I feel exactly the same way, I hate not finding a local girl but Im so paranoid I am driving 1 hr and 30 mins to the cities to game but ... idk I havn't found an answer either I tell girls IM waiting for a friend going out alone lol or visiting a friend and hes going to get out of class or work in a few minutes, Im new in town what is there fun to do! Im heading back tomorrow ! that opens alot in this context. Even though its a lie... man I hate this fabricated stuff lol Why isn't it as simple as hey ur cute, wanna go out sometime?

Thanks for that man... I nvr put that 2 and 2 together... I guess direct aproach is my calling.... nice haha. I just got into the game because of the mystery method and I think it doesn't emphasize Direct Game very much. Ive gotten real good at least to talking to girls indirectly like sitting one seat away from them and chatting them up works 90 percent of the time they are friendly and engadging and have gotten alot of numbers this way. vs how I was a year ago I couldnt get out hi. and if I had any kind of conversation I would be literally shaking afterword. haha. Direct game sounds awesome. the only caveat that I have is... I need to qualify the girls as well, is sex and cuteness your only goal? If so then just saying your cute and dhv'n is the way to go I guess, but the simple line 'what do you have going for you other than your looks' will help you find a girl with some substance. I go in and out of this, sometimes Im just like gooooood I want a girl, any girl to hang out with me today! haha and sometimes (usually when I have an awesome girlfriend) Im very qualifying lol

thanks for the help virgil

You're welcome

mystery method doesn't emphasize on Direct Game because it's mainly indirect night game. The method itself is built around indirectness because it focuses on attracting the girl before declaring interest. The core of the method would have to be different if Mystery had gone with direct openers.

Your paragraph didn't disappear. Yeah, you still have to qualify her and dhv. You should never be like 'I want any girl to hang out with me'. 'Cause you don't. You want a beautiful woman you have a connection with to hang out with you. Always keep the right mindset.
