4 stages of learning almost anything:
Unconsciously incompetent
Consciously incompetent
Consciously competent
Subconsciously competent
NCed a girl that looked like Fiona from Shameless. I was just thinking about how I had become subconsciously competent at daygame. I saw her & did everything right: Spontaneous stop, honest compliment, tease, time constraint, dealt with BF objection, leading, qualifying, vibing.
It was 21:00, dark, cold, my first approach and at a bus stop.
