TOPIC: **Your Questions About the AA Program**

another question....where is an OK stopping point with the drills? do we really need to do all 12+ weeks to consider ourselves capable of screening approaches for good? i imagine week 12 looking something like

-tap woman on boob, show gun
- tap woman on boob, hold up gun to her head, say give me all your money
-tap woman on boob, hold up gun, say give me all your money, then pull the trigger
-tap woman on boob, hold up gun, say give me all your money, the pull the trigger, thanks.

i dont know if i'm ready to kill anyone. if i can get away with stopping at 9 weeks with the GLL stamp of approval, i would.

Chris,

A quick question. I find myself modifying the drills and making  them harder. I don't mean to, but it just sort of happens; I think it's my nerves.

Example:

I was supposed to do the "Time and have you been there" drill for day 9, but I ended up tacking on a "Did you like it" out of reflex, instead of walking away immediately. I just felt very conversational and cool about it. I will redo the entire drill if you (chris) think I did something wrong.

Opinions?

I know this question has already been asked by Matt for example, just checking in whether I have understood everything.
Say somebody has a lot of time for the drills (4-8 hours a day), what would be the most productive way to use the time? Doing the drill again and again, doing more than one drill per day or is there another way?

Thank you Chris for putting togather what seems to be excellent program for beating approach anxiety.

My situation is like this: in my city students suddenly move back home and people go to vacations during the summer so city is dead from 15th July - 25th August.
During that time I will have at least 3x less girls on streets. I will still see hot girls, enough to do 1-2 direct approaches per day, but I will definitively not have enough girls to do missions.

My goal is to be able to do direct approaches without missing opportunities by 10th of July. So I have 2 questions:

1) Can I do 2days in one day? If a day feels really easy, can I take a break for 30 minutes or so and then do next day's drill?

2) Can I pause the program for 40 days and just do 1 direct approach per day to maintain my skill level and then continue when people return to my city?

Off I go to do day 4 and if that feels easy, day 5.
Thank you for your answers.

EDIT: I did days 4 and 5. I need to do days 1, 2 and 3.
If that makes any difference, I have calculated that, if I do 6 missions per week, by the time most people leave my city I'll be on day 60. Can I just do 1 direct approach per day for 40 days until people return and go back where I was?

Another question. After every exercise you say: "If you were unable to do the drill or weren’t happy with your performance (NOT the reactions you got) – feel free to repeat this day."

Should I repeat the exercise if: I wasn't 100% comfortable (I was thinking in my head this is weird, I am bothering her etc) but I did 90% of girls anyway?

Later when I get to fun missions - should I repeat them until I am not just 100% comfortable, but I actually enjoy them?

I don't know if I am just being a perfectionist when I want to be 100% comfortable doing the drill, maybe just doing it without hesitation is good enough?

1. My question is how bad is skipping a day i mean a day in the week not a day of the program

2. Does anyone have problems aswell doing the drills in really busy areas? cause I can do them fine if it not so busy.

3. Does it matter that I tend to skip a lot of the "hot" girls? cause I can seem to ask one as part of the drill but then i will skip the next 3 or 4 that i see.

4. Does anyone also find it easier to do girls that are already stationary cause i feel like I'm bothering girls if they are walking very fast
