Hello my fellow informants.

I am a 19 turning 20 year old university student from the beautiful tropical island of...Canada. I was introduced to the seduction community by a friend of mine who purchased Neil Strauss's "The Game". Reading it has intrigues me and inspired me to learn more about the game.

I do not struggle with AA, but I am nowhere near the ability of probably the majority of the people belonging to this site. This being said, I have had success with women, but not consistently. I hope to develop my game, with the incentive of not only becoming more confident and comfortable with the opposite sex, but also to appear more confident in all other aspects of my life.

My major sticking point is not being able to carry a conversation once it has begun. Once I deliver an opener and a time constraint, depending on the response obtained I am at a loss of where to continue. If the target or group is enthusiastic and talkative, I have no issue in continuing the conversation. I struggle when responses are brief and curt. I hope to improve on this aspect of game, as well as my inner game. For as journalist Dorothy Thompson so apptly said "Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live".

With your advice and guidance, I am sure that I can further enhance my ability to be successful with both the game as well as every aspect of my life.

We're all in this together and I look forward to the adventures that lay ahead.
