Hey, I'm basically brand new to this "game" idea. After being depressed and embaressed for so long I got sick of it and decided to look to see what I could do about it.

I currently live in my fraternity house in California. So finding girls isn't much of a problem.

I am 18.

I've never really been in the game. I've always had a hard time meeting women, and even if I got lucky enough to talk to them I really didn't know where to go from there.

Again, I'm new. I haven't been practicing.

In all honesty I don't have many hobbies/passions. I guess bettering myself is my hobby.

My goals are to meet women. Stop being sooo emotionally connect because of my one-itis and maybe later, after many sexual exploits, find a good girlfriend.

I've been told I have a lot of potential. And I think you all should know I'm not your usual case, so I've been told. But over my years over living I
ve had my self esteem broken down, and my idea of myself destroyed.

welcome to the forums man. If it makes you feel better, A LOT of people make a hobby out of bashing themselves, so youre certainly not alone in that. That being said, I think you should feel optimistic, because unlike 99% of people out there, youve taken some positive steps to help yourself bro. Remember, picking up a chick is just like playing a sport, riding a bike, or any other skill you wanna learn.... practice enough and you will become great at it!

Welcome!
