Hi everybody,
My nickname is Duque and I'm a foreigner student in the USA.
I just found out about the book "The Game" which I'm reading anxiously

Im 22 years old and i've only been with one girl, my ex. We have been together for 5 years and now that i'm back in the game, im sooooooo lost!! I've always been very shy and serious. Many of my female friends have told they felt intimidated and in some occassions afraid of me for being so serious until they got to know me better.

I've also been reading some of the tips around the forum and i feel confident i would have no problem to achieve some goals, for example the mall and say hi.

I usually try with girls at clubs, and im sorry to say, all the ones i like dont seem interested. It is weird because my ex, was at least a 9.

I dont have the confidence in me and therefore i usually use alcohol to help me until i learn how to game.
I usually don't have a problems saying hi to girls or start talking to them at a club but then i have no ideas to talk about and then the moment of silence appears and all goes away.

Going up to a girl and letting her know i like her is something i cant do.

I know i can get up there, i know it but im very shy and i dont actually understand what or when to say things.

I ask you all a question, how many of you have you started like me and now you are masters?

Thanks and i hope you can all help me and in future i can help others.

PS: As you see, i can speak english but i make some mistakes and also its harder to use the phrases i would normally use in my own language.

I also wanted to say that sometimes im too shy to go up to girls because im afraid of messing things up. There are days when i have the courage and days i dont....

Haha, I used to be a lot like you man. I was in a relationship with one girl for a very long time. Then I got dropped back into the game and was sooo lost. I spent a lot of time building up my game and becoming a master at it. I was a bit blunt with my game, still landing a lot of the hits. Then I started reading PUA books and material and realized how many other guys out there were like me other than my old best friend who I basically turned into a Frankenstein with all the game I gave him. Now my game is more like a sharpened blade, I rarely if ever miss my target and know what I'm doing rather than just smashing away with natural talent. I'm more settled down now but keep my game sharp, I usually just spend my time helping out guys in need. Welcome to the site, good luck and happy gaming.

Oh, and keep in mind to be a PUA you HAVE to be a funny, talkative guy. You can break down so many doors almost instantly just by getting a girl to laugh. Trust me.
