TOPIC: Skyfire’s journey to success

Gonna have to quit one of my jobs (most likely the delivery one) working 7 days a week is too demanding and I can't meet any girls and don't have much time to meet my mates.Decided I'm gonna do it for another 4 weeks though because that's when I get paid by the 3d printing one and I need money for tobacco and beer.

Drawing goals absolutely not reached another negative of working 7 days a week. finally come to the conclusion that making a living off of art is gonna take a LONG time, will have to find myself a job to support myself for the next few years, obviously I'll be graduating with a degree in illustration, luckily illustration is just visual communication at the end of the day and lends itself to other disciplines. Sprezza mentioned UX design, been researching this in my free time and I must say I am intrigued both by the work and of course the money. Will research further into this to find out the specifics.

Onto girls, Blonde has been flaking on me. Not sure if she's playing games or not (quite likely). You'll have to forgive my ignorance, I haven't been dating in over a year. But yeah keeps pushing the date back for seeing her although for seemingly legitimate reasons. Like she's going on holiday twice after lockdown ends? Obviously not sure about all this so texted my female friend (totally platonic) what to do. She says ask her for her number and give her a call. Decided to do this and Blonde says it is okay to call her. Just waiting for her to give me her number. I don't really do this usually but it seems unusually difficult to meet up with her. I guess this is my female friend's version of screening?

Also decided am not gonna be exclusive with Blonde unless we like each other, already arranged to meet up with a girl I banged during my very short stay in uni last year. So will be going to London to see her, she's a pretty nice girls and she's like an 8/10 so I don't really mind going all that way to see her.

No other prospects have come up lately, lots of flaky bitches. Will keep with it however.

London sounds awesome dude! I miss traveling sooo bad right now.

I'd thumbs up your friend's suggestion. Are you saying you've been messaging this girl on tinder for a year...you don't have her number?!? Sounds like she's screwing with you.

Maybe she's just actually busy though, it happens. Another thing you can do (adapt to your own lingo, otherwise it can feel kinda plastic / obviously a line): It's cute you're playing hard to get but it's starting to lose points with me. If you're down to meetup [whenever] let's get a drink [or whatever].

I prefer to give two options whenever pitching a date (like I'm free Tuesday and Friday). If they're busy and don't pitch a new time, they're just stringing you along. You can still hail mary it and either call them like you're friend said or ask them when they're free.

Yeah man haven't been to Lonon in a couple of years, should be good.

And yeah,, am not really sure if sge's screwing with me? She does sound busy but zi decided if she doesn't want to call then I'm gonna tell her we can't speak anynore. Waste of my time but whatever, probs why we should screen from the start. I maimly message her on sc or insta btw.

Girls are wild though, not sure why she'd want to waste her own timd like that haha

Okay log update, again drawing goals absolutely not reached Working 7 days a week is proving to be difficult, Probably gonna quit my weekend by the 15th of July which is when I'm going to meet the girl I was banging in uni in London (she lives there now). Obviously she's DTF and will let me stay over, (banged her on the first date).

Also have been messaging other girls, one girl I met on Tinder wants to shag in my car, Will probably meet her on Tuesday. Will let you know how it goes.

Another girls I shagged when I was 19 is also down to meet up, shes pretty sound. More of a FWb than any relationship potential though,

Then of course onto Blonde, we have separate routines. She finishers work at 5pm which is when I start work. Obviously unfortunate and she's always busy, tried to call her today but she was visiting her auntie at the beach (she sent pics dw). She also gave me her number and I tired to cal but obviously she was at the beach with family so we couldn't speak. Still unclear whether she is playing games or just a busy person however. Will continue to message her because she seems nice. (she stayed up till 2am to wait for my call but had to work till 3am).

Blodne has also been texting me a lot more now that I have her number. Probably the most effort I've EVER put into a girl but like my female friend says, she might be worth it. Will persevere

So I ended up shagging that girl I mentioned in my last post in her car, ending a dry spell of over a year and 5 months. I imagine some people are wondering why have I gone so long without having sex but it just has't been my priority since leaving uni. She was a little bit more overweight than her pics on Tinder showed but I still had fun regardless.

The girl I was banging in Uni has flaked on me although for understandable reasons, she works for a health charity and isn't happy that I'm doing a house party, (she's paranoid about the whole covid situation) I don't hold it against her. She'll probably still be down to meet up once all this lockdown stuff ends.

Actually chatted to blonde on the phone which was good, I think we spoke for like 40 minutes and time sort of just flew, she just seems normal and nice.She said she would like to call again which is a good sign and we've arranged to meet up on the 15th of August, cause she's gonna be on holidays with her parents for a while. I think with this girl thinks are going to move forward very slowly but I don't mind because I am obviously attracted to her. I just really hope she doesn't flake on me because my patience will start to be getting thin by that point. But we'll see.

Again drawing goals not reached, don't want to really quit either of my jobs though just in case I get fired from one of them. Will stick with this 7 day a week shit a while longer.

Luke

LOG UPDATE! Okay so there isn't really much to report, doing some drawing here and there but jobs and seeing my mates is basically taking up my time atm. Gonna tell the guy I'm doing the weekend work for that next week will be my last shift. This will free up my weekends and then I'll get paid by my other job the following week. All looking good on this front

Also, my mate mentioned to me today that he wants to move out with me and one of our other friends from college. Been thinking about it in work and decided am gonna do it, living with my parents for the past year has been okay but I'm now starting to feel the restrictions and + I want to throw BIG house parties and I wanna play the decks at them.

Onto girls, been speaking to a couple, meeting with my old FWB from when I was 19 on Sun, she's pretty sound. Not the best looking facially but hell of a body. Another girl I've been messaging would also be down to meet up but she legitimately had to have her apendix out so she needs to recover from that before we actually meet up, idk how long that will be. Of course there is Blonde, she actually texts me normally now, the suggestion from my female friend to call her was a VERY good one. She actually left work for 10 minutes to ring me (in the rain) if that's not a sign I don't know what it is, I think I'm gonna stop seeing other girls once we meet up, because I actually like her, of course we haven't met in person yet but I feel like we're gonna vibe.

Besides that not much going on, just waiting for art school to start really

Luke

So I've organized a house viewing for the 10th of August, me and my mate are going to see what it's it like but it seems pretty nice and it's in a good location too, no real idea what I'm doing though, my Dad said something about bonds and guarantors? I'll have to read up on that shit before I sign anything I guess

Drawing goals not reached again and tbh I doubt I'm going to e able reach them for this entire summer, work is starting to consume my life, the 3D printing one will look good on my CV though so I'm reluctant to quit it.

Onto girls, my FWB from when I was 19 has flaked on me although for legitimate reasons it was her birthday the day before and she got absolutely fucked haha, don't really blame her could potentially meet up in the future.

LOTS of flakes atm, especially girls from Tinder, I'm just like if you're not actually serious about meeting up in the first place then why bother?? Oh well, sort of another reason why I'd like a stable girlfriend at this point

Blonde is on holiday with her parents atm, and her phone broke so she's been using her sister's phone just to message me haha. Feel like this is an obvious sign that she likes me. She gets back on Wednesday though so I'll call her then. She doesn't drink, do drugs or smoke btw, first of I was like who the fuck doesn't drink but she may actually be telling the truth, if so this is probably a positive.

That's about it, nothing else has really gone on.

Luke

Been doing some drawing here and there this week but drawing goals still not reached.

Okay for my 3D printing job my manager has fucked up my hours so instead of getting paid 120 hours I might only be getting paid 30 which is fucking ridiculous, will try and get this sorted out ASAP.

Gonna buy decks out of my first paycheck regardless.

Moving out with the boys is gaining momentum, my best mate wants to move in with us now too (we all did the same course together) so all is looking good on this front.

Also, I've told all the other girls I was speaking too that we can't speak anymore. I am putting my eggs all into one basket so to speak with Blonde, I've decided I'm actually gonna invest in someone for once instead of keeping ny options open. This may seem a little strange to you guys but I'm gonna try something different for once I think.

Anyways that's all for the last coupke of days

Luke

About girls, sure it sounds like you're pretty busy anyway. But if Blonde never meets you, it'll only be your own fault if it hurts way more than it should. Just doesn't make sense (to me) to get so invested in someone you've never met.

All that said, I do hope things work out. Just a cautionary tale

That is the worst case scenario and a definite possibility, we're supposed to be meeting up on the 15th and if ahe flakes imma tell her straight that if she flakes on me again that I'll have to consider stop speaking to her because we're just wasting both our time. That being said, she has made attempts to call me this week but we're on different time schefules unfortunately.

Maybe she just needs more reassurance than other girls before we meet up? Idk. I've shagged girls on the first day of messaging them on Tinder, others have taken bout a month but this is obviously the longest it's taken me to get a girl out. Will just have to see how things play out, I'm not naive don't worry. Just very curious about this one for some reason

One of my best friends from undergrad told me she was on Tinder for like 6 months before she felt comfortable meeting up with a guy, flaked on tons before that. When it finally was time, she was so nervous she puked when it was time to go. But she rallied and went on the date. Doubt that she put out but I didn't ask.

If you're patient it's all good but keep in mind the girl has to be available / dtf and as you pointed out some are down on the first meet up, some aren't for a long time.

Hmm yeah Blonde has told me she has legit anxiety which may be playing a factor in her apprehension to meet up, although she did ring me up a couple of days ago and we spent some time on the phone before her phone died lmao, she also said she wants to learn how to paint with me which I thought was cute.

Of course you are right, she has to be available which I don't think she isn't but I don't mind if I banged her on the 3rd date as opposed to the 1st. We will see. Will call her again either tomorrow or the next day just to keep the momentum going

On a side note and an addition to my log, today I saw a girl I actually worked with in a club when I was 20 and I always thought was cute in the place I actually work! She said she quit her job 2 days ago but actually worked in the days in the workshop which I work. The conversation was brief but she messaged me whilst I was in work telling me how crazy it was that we saw each other. I said the same but told her she "looked good". Of course I finish quite late so she hasn't replied. Will see what she says back in the morning
