Hello everyone,

screen here. 28 year old stock broker/banker from Belgium. I first heard about the game through an article in a belgian magazine which had an interview in it with Gambler. I immediately went out and bought his book and also The Game. I'm interested in learning these techniques because they can help me on both a professional level and personal level.

Now something about my personal life. About a year ago me and my girlfriend broke up after 7 years. We lived together etc but things didn't work out in the end. I've been through a depression because of it, and to this day I can't seem to get out of the house and just basically go out (can't thrive in a club etc. I'm sure the story is familiar to some ) . Off course I do have a degree of confidence but most of it got shattered when we broke up. I spend every weekend at home alone and new years eve I turned in at about 9pm.

New years eve was my low so I knew I had to take action so I started powertraining again, started taking some PUA advice into practice (dressing more nicely, walking straight, ... ) and what do you know? One week after new year I met a girl and I don't know what happened, I'm still trying to analyze what just happened, she gave me her phone number to call her up. We've been texting since then and calling and that's just great and here comes the inevitable BUT whenever I try to meet her she comes up with some excuse. Wel, maybe I'm impatient I don't know.

Anyways, we'll see where that will take me. In the meantime I'll try to learn more about the game from you guys and we'll see where THAT will take me. (Advice on dealing with this one girl would be helpful. )
