I really need this community's help. I'll start off by saying that I'm a sophomore in college 20 years old. I'm a tall guy about 6'3" slender but athletic looking with wide shoulders. I've never been that sucessful with girls. Actually none at all. I can't seem to get the confidence to just go up to a girl or girls and approach them. I know I'm a good looking guy. I make eye contact and smiles with girls all day long. I get alot of IOI's all the time every where I go but I can't seem to get over the inner confidence thing. My confidence in my looks are there. I'm honestly willing most of the time to go up to the girl but I always feel like I dont know what to say besides "Hey my name is -----, I thought you were cute." Here lately I've thought about just trying that. When I get introduced and comfortable around people I have a great sense of humor and always can keep good conversation with anyone.
I said all that to say this......I read the game a few years ago and thought i might have hope afterall. So I've ordered the rules to the game and its on the way in the mail now. But besides that I feel so confused. There are so many methods and books. Can ya kind of lay out a blueprint or a education series on what books I should read or what video's to watch in order to get over my problems and learn material to open. Also what PUA's should I pay the most attention too?

Well, Welcome.

I think everyone is too different to recommend a specific "course plan" that you should follow, the best is to let it come to you in which ever order it happens, just remember nothing is absolute and there is no "best" method, we all have our awesome, unique and purpose-specific styles.

Thats probably one of the best things you can do first is start thinking about a style, dont "define" it yet but start thinking about it, "designing" it. This will take you in the direction of the right things to study. For example Mystery and David Wygant are like epically (is that a word?) opposite yet each has their successful paths and their students get results, just always remember your personal "goals" are more important than the main-stream expectations of things like the community.

I've personally never read Neil Strauss' stuff, call me ignorant but I dont have mental space to absorb everyone's methods so for a while now I've been very happy with self discovery and social engineering.

Just remember life is good and it only gets better

Best Luck!
