Allow me to introduce myself my name is Brandon and I am an RAFC. All my life I have struggled to talk to people and dealt with the bullshit of being shy and uwanted. I decided I had enough and starting studying people on my own and how they interact, trying to figure the strange art of linguistics which always had seemed to elude me.

I started looking online for others in my position and to my surprise I somehow managed to find refuge in pickup studies. It made me happy seeing that these forums aren't just dedicated to endless muff chases but is also a collective community where people come to improve themselves and share what they had learned.

I am no stranger to these forums, I have actually been shadow reading these forums for probably over a year and now that I just left to University I have decided to create an account.

Unfortunately I am very inexperienced with women I am 18 and have yet to even have my first kiss. It was not until I came across this community that I could speak to women at all, I simply stutter and freeze up when it came to dealing with opposite sex and it proved to be nothing but a frustrating venture so I spent much of my younger years avoiding women as a result.

Things are starting to pick up for me it may not seem like much to most of you but I can progressively see myself improving with speaking to people and dealing with women. I now have the ability to pretty much talk to any guy and have casual conversation with women however I suffer when it comes to the flirting department. Due to my lack of practice and nervousness I often find myself not knowing what to do and ending up in the friend zone.

I have read various ebooks, The Game and the Mystery Method and I can not thank the people on this forum enough for helping me turn my life around I truly owe you guys so much for helping me make myself a better person overall.

Ever since I have come to university I have been trying to approach as many people as I can and introducing myself to everyone but it never seems to go much further than casual introductory banter. I managed to get a date with one girl, and we are supposed to be going out again but I don't really know what I am doing to be honest lol.

Kino and flirting for me has always felt really unnatural because I just don't go around touching people and complimenting people because I just find it unnatural and odd. It just isn't in my nature I guess. However lately I have been practicing with kino more trying to figure out what to do with it. It is proving itself to be rather difficult for me to apply but I have to just keep going at it.

Good luck out there guys it is a rough world.
