Hey guys. I'm Illumin and I just got out of a LTR about a month ago. As usual with LTRs I picked up habits in dealing with women that are great for LTR's but are horrible with meeting new women. I was somewhat of a natural in High School but after my first LTR and then going into college where I studied very hard and had little time for women (not to mention I was at a school with 7:1 ratio guys to girls and most girls were gay) so I lost most of what I had.

I encountered an email from David DeAngelo and then began to read his book and later got into advanced series. Alot of what I read was reminding me of what I did High School and then taking my game much further than that. I had a lot of success immediately. In fact, my first sarge was one of the hottest HB10s I'd seen in MONTHS. I awoke in her bed the next morning. Anyway, I had been doing very well when I was sent a message on mypace by a VERY hot Milf. Although she was 14 years my senior we had a fantastic relationship for two years but it ended, I moved from Denver to Los angeles and now I find myself getting back into the game after a couple years. I need to break my LTR habits and get back to where I was before. For the most part it's been easy but I haven't had much time with 2-3 jobs right now.

With my time constraints I'm turning to online gaming but this is where I've had horrible results. It's weird but I can practically get any available woman I want in the real world but I rarely get a reply on myspace. I can't bring myself to run the wig routine (especially when there are close up pics that CLEARLY show its real). I usually use opinion openers or try and tie something to either a blog or astrological sign. Nothing works. Part of my problem is I look for a somewhat specific type of woman and there just aren't that many. Sure, I could email 40 women but I'd only actually be interested in three or four of them and if they don't respond my motivation is gone.

Some of my main sticking points are as follows

- I'm pretty physically attractive which I've found makes opening easier but makes comfort tougher. I have to walk a very fine line with C&F.

- I can fall into one-itis not because I have that mentality but right now in life I'm only attracted to a specific type of woman and there just aren't that many. Granted I can always "practice" on women I'm not really attracted to but the end result is to meet and date women I want, right?

- Sometime I have issues with the follow up. I've been in situations where women have hit on me, have been attracted and interested in me from start to finish and when I call a couple days later right off the bat they're like "umm, yeah, hi. Umm, can I like call you back sometime (aka never)." I'm left sitting there like "WTF just happened?"

- While usually very confident one subject that is sure to hurt my confidence...Job and income. In L.A. that is kind of an important thing and right now I'm trying to build a career and it just isn't financially rewarding at the present time and I have to be frugal in my spending. These things are immediate DLV's no matter how much confidence and personality I have.

So in short I'm here to offer my help in the field, get some help from higher PUA's in the field but more importantly right now get some help online. I'd greatly appreciate your help there. Thanks fellas.
