Well I just found this forum very recently and after a little browsing it seems like a solid community to join!
I'm 22 years old, living in Virginia just trying to finish up my undergrad degree.
I've always been a little shy, and have never been a fan of small talk at all. I have no problem carrying out a nice conversation but often struggle to get one started in the first place.
I'm very new to the pickup game, in fact I'm somewhat clueless in the department. I have had some success with women recently however in almost all of these cases I feel like I have been the one getting picked up more than the other way around. I have longer hair than almost any guy I know and some girls seem to find that irresistible. I guess I'm fortunate in that regard, I mean it is definitely better than nothing!
I do want to expand though and become pua. Not only to sleep with more women either but to improve my social skills in all areas of life.I think one of my biggest problems right now is that I am not comfortable approaching a group of girls at a bar or wherever, and in the college town I'm living in nearly all of the attractive girls go out in groups.
