Only been seriously in the game for six months. I say that, because it's only been in the last six months that I've had real confidence and have been "going after it."

Backstory: I was born w/a lazy eye, which didn't show-up until I was 11. Up until that time I was a very cute kid. I had girls asking me out. I was quite popular. Then, my left eye started to drift, and suddenly I went from cute to ugly/scary. Kids that were friends w/me one year made fun of me the next. This lasted until I was 24. I started doing drugs, hanging-out w/strippers and drug dealers. This type of crowd is quite good-looking and popular.

I was out-of-place. Right before my 25th birthday, I was at a club where a porn director rented-out the club to shoot a porn. He tried to get girls to hook-up w/me, but I was rejected. I was humiliated! I went home and prayed harder then I've ever prayed for my eyes to be corrected on my 25th birthday ...and I knew it would happen. I woke-up on my 25th birthday, and my eyes were right. I was ecstatic!

Immediately, I noticed the difference when I went-out. People, especially, girls treated me different. Not only, we're my eyes straight but I was good-looking ...very good-looking. It was easy for me to get girls. I was dating strippers. I was having sex w/2-3 different girls in a week. It just blew me away how different people treat someone when they have looks.

After two years, I got out of the party scene. I stopped doing drugs, and shortly my eyes reverted back to being lazy. It sucked. I learned about vision therapy. I've been doing it for eight years, now finally my eyes are just about right. However, the scaring I received from being treated horribly for my looks have had its effects. My confidence was pretty much non-existent when it came to talking to girls. However, recently in the past six months with my eyes starting to "go right", and me seeing my looks improve my confidence has improved.

My problem is now. I can talk to girls. I get girls' numbers. I go-out w/girls. BUT, I'm having trouble closing the deal. I can constantly hear the line from GLENGARY, GLENROSS: ABC (Always Be Closing).

I usually meet girls at work ...I'm a librarian; at a bar or online.

My last serious relationship ended in September 2011.

I'm joining this site to learn, improve my skills, and make some new friends.

I live in Vegas.
