Bringing Daygame Into Your Everyday Life

Guest post by Patrick, community member.

You’ve read our blog posts on why you should daygame, you get the concept, but are you still struggling to connect with girls when you hit on them?

The game changer is that you need to start incorporating daygame into your everyday life. Luckily for me, I live in New York City, where the opportunities for daygame are endless.

While it is definitely important to set aside some time to go out and practice daygame, especially when you're first starting, your goal should be to incorporate practicing your communication skills on a daily basis. Do this and you will be surprised at how it will impact your life.

Let’s define daygame first.

Daygame is just talking to a girl where it isn’t a generally recognized social practice to do so. Usually when we talk about daygame, we mean taking time out of your daily life to hit on girls in the context of deliberately practicing your skills.

This is still super important, because if you don’t set aside time to practice your skills, you are not going to grow and develop.

But daygame doesn’t have to be limited to specific practice sessions. It can and should be incorporated into your everyday life.

Think about this the next time you see a hot girl. The minute you see someone you'd like to talk to, go do it! In addition to that, I’d also argue that talking to everyone you encounter throughout the day and striking up a conversation is also daygame.

You need to turn yourself into a social person, and how can you be a social beast if you aren’t talking to everyone?

Let’s give a few examples of what I’m talking about here. You show up to Starbucks in the morning: while you are ordering you double espresso, don’t just order your drink and move on. Strike up a short conversation with the barista. Ask her what her name is and how her day is going. Ask her for a discount to push yourself outside of your comfort zone.

Or maybe you go to the the same breakfast spot each morning. Ask the guy who's cooking your bacon, egg, and cheese wrap his name and how his weekend was.

This may be all you do the first time you go there, but each day you go back, you are going to start to build a relationship with these people. The conversations will get more interesting. Do this every day and I guarantee that your conversation and daygame skills will improve.

Now, when you take your lunch break, you are going to be already warmed up because of your interactions in the morning. Don’t just spend your lunch break grabbing lunch and eating at your desk, go talk to people! I don’t care if it’s the hot girl crossing the street, or the fat guy making your burrito, just talk to them.

Say anything. It doesn't matter. The more you do it, the more you'll get feedback, and the better you will get. And expect to suck in the beginning. That's just how it works, and we've all experienced it.

By incorporating daygame into your everyday life, you are going to improve your skill 10x. It happens progressively over a long period time, and when you make consistent efforts, you'll improve before you even realize it.

You have to be talking to new people on a daily basis and put yourself outside your comfort zone to grow as a person and improve your skills.
