Lately

[enigma]

I feel that my inner game has gone downhill. I find myself sitting in class not talking to anyone, and even though I've been at my new school for about 4 monthes now I'm starting to feel really out of place again. I also broke up with my girlfriend last week, but the only people I know are all her friends, which makes things kinda weird. Today at lunch for instance, I was sitting with them and I seriously just sat there and looked at other tables all lunch. It was pathetic! I think I just need to meet some more people but any help with my inner game at the moment would be greatly appreciated!

If you've read "The Game" you would know Tyler Durdens solution to this and i agree

Just read CYC, so I'm really into social circle game right now.

Keeping that in mind, go approach some tables at lunch. You have a lot to talk about since you go to the same school (and you always have a few routines to run if you feel the conversation stalling).

You could even be open about why you're sitting with them right up front. "Me and my girlfriend broke up last week, so I don't have anywhere to sit ... mind if I join you guys while I wait for some of my other friends?"

Then once you're in their circle (at least a little bit), invite your old friends and your new friends bowling or karaoke singing or some other fun wacky get together. When your new friends show up, they'll see all these girls and think you're the shit. And when the girls show up, they'll see that you're popular and you'll social proof them.
Rinse and repeat with a new table.

optimus, where the hell do you get this sruff, its awesome!

[optimus]

Thanks, man.

I actually think about game a lot (which is kinda sad, really), and that particular bit was inspired by the stuff in Conquer your Campus.

Optimus, where could I get this CYC you speak of?
Also, what's the best way to open a circle of people facing towards eachother with "closed" body language? To sit at a table you don't normally sit at?

[optimus]

It's probably on pirate bay or something like that. If not someone (else) on the forums can probably get it to you. I bought it and I think it was totally worth the $37.

If there's a group of 4-8 people all in a closed circle, I usually come in and put my hands on the shoulders of two of them (any kind of kino would work really) and physically open them up while pushing a thread.

I used to just launch into a story or something, but that's kinda weird; so go with something situational or relevant to campus: "Have you guys tried this pudding?" "Did you hear about Mr. Johnson" (Or go direct) "Hey guys, my friends ditched me, do you mind if I sit with you until they show up?"

After you've successfully hooked, it's okay to transition into a story (not even a DHV story) about whatever. At lunch, go for a food story: "Last night, I was making brinner and I accidentally put some Italian Dressing in the scrambled eggs. I know it sounds gross, but it was delicious!" (That's a bad example because that's actually a dish. It's called eggs marshall and it tastes amazing.)

So a lunch-table approach would look like this:

PUA: (being touchy) Hey guys, my table was taken over by some punks. It's okay if I sit with you while I wait for my boys to show up, right?
Table: Yeah, sure.
PUA: Awesome. So last night I was making brinner ... (you get the idea)

Oh, I got it off Demo. It's pretty cool, I like the newsletters he sends out better though.
Thanks Optimus, +1 for you!

[optimus]

Yeah, when I first read it, CYC really felt like a waste of my time. But you soak up so much that you don't realize. Reading takes a lot of time tho. I agree, the newsletters are awesome.

Hmm, you can always hang out with some guys from your class right?

You broke up with your ex, If you didn't do anything wrong (like cheated on her, got into a big fight) her -and yours also- friends shouldn't have a problem talking with you, if you have a good relation with them.

I broke up with my ex, we even got into a sort of fight of words, but since we didnt talked about eachother behind other backs and didn't really share our problems with the rest off the world all her friends still like me, they are still friendly to me, I can still go up to them and chat with them for a bit, I don't see the problem. Even if shes there with them, you can just kinda ignore her, you don't have to be friends with her.

IMO

[enigma]

Yeah thanks for all the help guys. I actually haven't talked to her in awhile haha, and I'm sittin with my friend at this new table with other girls now, so its all good!
