Hi lads,
Ok I'm an 18, nearly 19 year old aircraft engineer from the UK, snowboarder, guitarrist. I'm 5ft11, naturally tan with dark brown shortish messy hair and been told that i'm good looking by lasses... and disturbingly, their mothers 8|.
I've only started to seriously want to get into the game in the last few days... after I stole my dad's copy of Neil Strauss' "The Game" and didn't put it down for nearly 7 hours.(I'm now half way through, bit of a slow reader... don't read alot nowadays). I have been recieving David D's e-newsletter for a couple of years actually since i was 16/17... even though it said under 18's shouldn't read it... but hey. I noticed that I was pretty much natural at his C&F theory already without realising (I think my playful tongue in cheek inherited from my father had something to do with it)... but only with girls/women I knew really well.
For example a lass i was supposedly "best mates" with after our little childhood fling a few years earlier. I read through David's theory's and after a year or so started to dial up the attraction etc with her, in one weekend i had dialled it up to the point where she was hinting for a relationship, I took the hint and went for it... This was stupidly right before I left to join the RAF ... don't think that was well thought out really. More importantly however I turned into the text book 'Wuss' that David is always warning about in his newsletters... so every weekend i was home, she got less and less interested in me, resulting in her leaving me the day after my birthday 2 months later... its now been 2 years and she has reconciled with me... but i'm not going back there again
. After that I vowed that if I ever got close to a girl I WOULD NOT turn into a wussy boy again.Slowly I've been getting my game up but never been able to approach strangers... I approached a girl in a bar who was sat near us a year ago but I was tanked and forgot everything I thought I knew... inevitable crash and burn!
I had earlier that week meet a girl through a lad i was at school and college with. It was on my 18th birthday and he'd invited her and her friend out to join us. She was an 8 i'd say and I had her number within half an hour of her turning up ... so without realising i had managed to pull off a set without realising. That kinda went wrong though because when i went to arrange meeting later that week i screwed up without the help of the englishman's friend - dutch courage ¬¬ sucks...
After that week my confidence at approaching women plummeted big style, i've missed so many golden opportunities. So my goals are now to have the confidence to approach women i have never met before and be able to get their number/maybe more, without feeling insecure and scared...
I've just realised how much I've written... sorry about that, but hopefully thats a decent overview...
Glad to have found the forum, and for finally giving me the inspiration and tools to start sorting my life out, Thank-you Neil Strauss!
