I‘m laying in bed, eyes closed, snuggled up in my nice warm blanket. I’m sound asleep. I’m dead to the world.

At some point in the night, who knows what time, I feel something moving…

The edge of my blanket begins to slowly slide down my chest, inching it’s way downward. It’s enough to wake me, yet I’m paralyzed with fear. Shit, is someone in my apartment?

I grab hold of the blanket from underneath the covers and yank it back up to my neck, holding it there firmly.

I slowly open my eyes expecting to see some psycho with a gun pointed at my face. There is nothing. I try to swallow the giant lump in my throat and gain some composure.

As I lay perfectly still, clutching my blanket, I scan the dark room for anything suspicious.

A chill comes over my whole body, as my head turns to focus on the bedroom doorway. A multitude of panicked obscenities fill my head.

Oh shit… mother fucker… ohh fuck…

It’s standing in the doorway. I don’t think it’s a person. It appears to be almost see through. An apparition. A fucking ghost encounter!

It’s just standing there swaying back and forth next to the window. What do I do?

Ok, calm down, get a hold of yourself, it’s probably nothing, just a shadow perhaps. I close my eyes in the hopes it will be gone when they reopen. One, two, three…

Shiiiitttt! Still there.

The ghost is staring me down. Why does this shit have to happen to me? I have enough to deal with in my life, I don’t need this afterlife drama. What the hell do I do??

Then it hits me. Ghost Busters. Remember that opening scene where they have the ghost encounters at the New York Public Library? The whole plan was, “Get Her.”

That’s it. That’s my plan, get her. Screw you ghost, I’m just gonna flip out and go ape shit on your ass.

I take a long deep breath, then, in a rage of fury I whip my covers off, lunge for the light switch and spring to a crouching tiger stance while letting out my battle cry.

“YAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

The light is now on. There is nothing there. My rapid breathing begins to slow down. I’m standing on top of my bed like a retarded ninja. This is pathetic.

I begin walking around my entire apartment turning on every light. I grab my all purpose weapon of choice, a 3-D chrome Mag-Lite, heavy enough to beat down a real person but with enough candle power to vaporize Gozer herself.

I begin examining the entire apartment when I notice an empty container of Chinese food sitting on my coffee table. It suddenly dawns on me what my pre-slumber activities included. I had gone to the bar and ended up drinking my usual pints of Guinness, but also included a shot of Jager, a shot of Sambuca, and topped it off with a late night feast of spicy curry dumplings.

Was it really a ghost? My guess, it was nothing more than a toxic stew of alcohol and curry filled hallucinations. Oh, and I wasn’t wearing my glasses or contact lenses, which without I am pretty much blind.

Epilogue

I see something like this ghost story as being a great opener for a pick up artist or even better, a DHV (demonstration of higher value) story.  At the least, I think it’ll be a great conversation starter.  I’ll be testing out various versions this week and will let you guys know how it goes.

Anyone else have tales of crazy ghost encounters?  Has anyone used a ghost story to seduce someone?

It has been one year since I first started this blog and my journey to becoming a seduction artist. Since that time I have grown and learned a great deal. I have overcome many limiting beliefs which had prevented me from meeting and attracting beautiful women. I have had some great successes. I have also had some spectacular failures. Yet I still endure, improving myself one step and one day at a time. Lets take a look at some of the highlights from the past year:

• My first blog post that ignited the fire within. It took a lot of balls for me to write this post because 1) I was exposing myself to the public eye and 2) I told the truth about myself and that scared the shit out of me. Sometimes we hide the truth from ourselves and never realize that we need to change. We go through life living in a false reality thinking that we are fine and everything else is what’s fucked up. If you want great things it must first come from within.
• In the fall of 2006 I began approaching more women. Most of the time I would crash and burn or simply eject from the set too early. I did have a few good victories though. This one night was where I really began developing my seductive dance technique and my infamous Eskimo Kiss Close. Also, in this poetic field report I have another night which involves my seductive dancing and was a major boost to my confidence.
• I came to the realization that when I go out I drink too much and this was one of the major factors that was killing my game. From this point on I began drinking much less and enjoying the company of people more. When you are socializing and talking to people then you aren’t drinking.
• I lost my virginity after 27 years one night in November 2006. I have mixed feelings about that night but I think it was necessary just to get that first sexual experience out of the way.
• In December ’06 I made a mission to do 100 cold approaches for the month. I called it the December Blitz and the purpose was to help get over my approach anxiety which was still plaguing me at the time. I only made it to 43 approaches by the end of the month but it was still a big accomplishment and had approached more women in that one month than I had in the previous year!
• In the first months of 2007 I began making a lot of rapid progress in not only opening women but creating attraction. My seductive dance skills further developed and helped me to kiss more girls in the last year than my entire life. I even had a few more intimate encounters here and here.
• There were also some adventurous nights which ended up becoming great DHV (demonstrations of higher value) stories.
• Recently, within the last several months, I’ve been really exploring what it is I want to do with my life and what is my passion. In the end the real attraction is leading a passionate life.
• There has been a lot of time put into learning the skills of seduction which you can read more about in the archives. There were even more approaches and social engagements that never even made it into this blog.

After reviewing the last year, it is now time to set my sites on some new goals and further progress my seduction skills. Here are some things I will be working on:

• Closing and Day 2s: There has been a pattern in many of my field reports over the last six months. Most of them show that I have been successful at creating attraction and rapport but have a very low closing rate. I am not able to develop these interactions beyond the first meeting. I will be working on getting more phone numbers after meeting women and then following up to get more day 2s.
• Seduction Community: Until now, I’ve been teaching myself the pick-up arts based on what I’ve read in books and on the internet then applying it in the field. One problem with this type of learning is that it is slow and difficult without being around other more experienced people. I’ll probably contact my local seduction lair within the next month and really become part of the community in hopes to not only learn from but help support other aspiring men.
• The Tango de la Muerte: One of my big attraction builders has been the way that I dance with women. I know that once I can get them on the floor and take control of their movement I can easily escalate to more physical intimacy. I’d really like to refine this skill and perhaps develop my own method of seduction based on dancing. Every great pick-up artist has their own style and niche, perhaps this will be mine.
• Living Passionately: I still do not have a clear picture of what my passion is but I do have it narrowed down to a few things. I will continue exploring this area of my life and focus on living the life I want to live into.

So there is my one year progress report. For those readers who have been with me since the beginning, I give you my many thanks for your support. I’ve received many encouraging comments and emails. For those people who are just joining the adventure, please don’t hesitate to leave your feedback or ask questions.

Also, don’t forget to subscribe so that you don’t miss out on any crazy adventures in the upcoming year.

Sincerely yours,

So I haven’t been around in awhile. I fell into a slump. It sucked….a lot. There was just too much going on that my focus on seduction fell out of focus. In a way, I’ve probably regressed socially. I’m back to being a little more shy and less social around women. I’ve taken a step backwards, not on purpose, it just sort of happened.

The bad news is that I now have to climb out of this pit that I’ve fallen into. The good news is that it is summer now. Work responsibilities have been severely reduced, I’m on break from graduate school and in general seem to have more time on my hands. The trick though, with having more time, is making effective use of that time.

Over the past month and a half I’ve been thinking a lot about my life and where I want it to go. I’ve been formulating a plan based on what I love to do and how seduction will fit into it. This really deserves its own post, so for now, just be content that I haven’t left for good, I’m just planning my next big move. Stay tuned.

The past two to three weeks have been simply ridiculous. Not in a good way either. For some reason my life operates in cycles. There are two main cycles: the extreme busy insane cycle and the slow “I’m bored” cycle. Each one lasts about three months and alternates from busy to slow. It’s like every aspect of my life is conspiring against me. Everything either happens all at once or not at all.

The slow cycles aren’t that bad because…well…they’re slow. I don’t have to be stressed out about meeting deadlines at work, writing papers for school and dealing with family issues. Not to mention there is more time to meet women.

The fast cycles on the other hand are upon me and it sucks. I barely have time to write this post let alone think about seduction. It seems like I am being pushed to some sort of breaking point in which I’ll have to make some decision about where I want my life to be right now. Not in the distant future. There will be no setting goals or making plans. Just change.

Despite this frustrating cycle, I have still been able to fit in a couple of nights over the last three weeks to at least relax and flirt with some girls. I have some minor developments to report but will post those later in the week if I have time. Right now I just need to vent.

ARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

That is all.
