Newbie assignment

Field	Training
Also known as	newbie mission, 14-day assignment
Origin	Skilled Seducer / Girls Chase, 3 Nov 2012 (updated 2013)

The Newbie assignment is a 14-day graded exposure program posted by Chase Amante on the Girls Chase boards (now Skilled Seducer) on 3 November 2012. It is the standard on-ramp for that school: treat dating as deliberate practice, start with observation and body, then talk to strangers, then ask for a number.

The original post is public teaching, not a book chapter. This page describes the structure of the assignment. It does not reproduce the full day-by-day prose. Read the original: skilledseducer.com/threads/newbie-assignment.34.

Required reading (as listed by Amante)

• "How to Master Anything" — practice mindset.
• "How to Get Girls: The Last Post You'll Ever Need" — seduction mindset.
• "Can't Stop Thinking About Her?" — one-itis / meet more women.
• nino's journal of actually running the assignment (first student chronicle).

Shape of the 14 days

The days are ordered on purpose. Skipping to "ask for numbers" is the usual failure.

Days	Skill being installed
1	Observation — find four high-turnover venues with the women you actually want, in person, not waitresses.
2	Posture — walk those venues with a lifted chest and high head; watch how the street answers.
3	Eye contact — hold it with ten people; notice down/side/up breaks as submit / neutral / dismiss.
4–5	Ice — say "hi" to six strangers; then "how's your day going?" to six more. Hired guns do not count.
6	Half day / rejection bonus — at least one approach; optional: collect three blowouts on purpose so rejection stops being a dragon.
7	Direct compliment opener — genuine interest, name, handshake. Four women.
8–9	Specialty opens — sitting women; mass transit. Logistics, not lines.
10	"Are you single?" — talk about dating out loud instead of tiptoeing.
11	Walk — posture plus a deliberate gait (powerful / model / cowboy). Twenty minutes in traffic.
12	Indirect-direct — after the open: "I thought you were cute and wanted to come meet you." Speak slowly.
13	Repartee — a little tease, not an insult; then stop being the joker. Light / serious / light.
14	Number — ask four women out; take the number if yes. Optional harder mode: get four numbers.

Day 15 is "now you have a skill, pick an adventure": girlfriend, pickup, or social circle.

Pedagogy

The assignment is a calibration trainer disguised as homework. Early days have tiny compliance asks so approach anxiety has somewhere to go besides rumination. Later days add intent. Amante's 2013 update added the half-day, genuine-interest, sitting, and transit days after board suggestions.

Forum culture around the assignment: public journals, "most people fail it," inner-game variants, and the standing advice in "where to begin?" threads (2012–) to run this and raise fundamentals rather than wait to be handsome enough to start.
