Knifes Pickup Posts

Hi there. My name is Knife (not in real life). I live in Portland Oregon, and am working on my game. I plan to post my approaches here, with results. A bit about me: was using this stuff 5 years ago, with meh results (inner game was sh1t, outer game was little better). Once I started developing my inner game, started dating a roommate. Her and I were together for 2.5 years, first girl I'd ever slept with (at 23), only girl. Now I'm trying to get my game on.

Approach #1: I was on the train coming home from work 5ish. This cute girl, portland 8 (prob LA 6) was standing next to me. It took me quite a while to get up the courage to talk to her, with her all along giving ioi's (face touching, light eye contact). I opened her by asking if she was coming home from work (could see a badge on her, started with a question I knew the answer was yes).

She says yes to me, and asked if I was coming home from work too. At this point massive eye contact, big smile (her teeth were a turn off, I might have flinched when I saw them). This was crazy for me. The conversation went on for about 3 minutes, and I ejected. She asked where I work, so I think I need to develop a routine describing what I do. Also while writing, realized I did no Kino Escalation. My opener had no big bolt of attraction, but it is day game, so it might be ok.

Good: I opened her, learned something
bad: short routine, no kino, no attraction.

I look forward to your feedback, and I'm happy to join the community.
