Hey guys,
I've been reading the forums for a couple of weeks now after a friend of mine gave me a copy of The Game to read. I'm your average 23 year old AFC college kid, not bad looking at all, and I have damned good style; I've just had the worst approach anxiety as long as I can remember. I went into therapy a couple of years ago and dealt with the core issues surrounding this anxiety, and now that I'm taking a newfound confidence out into the field with a basic skill set provided by both reading these forums a bit and my previously mentioned friend, I feel like I'm already making great strides. I've kiss-closed the last two times I've gone out to the bars. Last night's kiss close was immediately preceeded by "Usually, I'd just think you were trying to fuck me, but you're not like the other guys."

Anyway, as this is merely an introduction, I'm wondering if you guys have any tips for my friend. He's infinitely better-looking than I am and has a smile that can light up a room. He's pretty solid in the theory part of game, but can't get the application of it to save his life. He has pretty bad approach anxiety, but I've brought him out of his shell a couple times. He's seen me work an entire bar to receptive targets, and for some reason, he still doesn't think he has it in him to jump in head first like I did.

TL;DR version: Hey, guys. I'm Facade from Kalamazoo, MI, and I'm really glad to be here.

Anybody?

kalamazoo, and ur a college student, if ur from western mich I gotta give u a big fuck you......since Im up in Mt pleasant at central mich, fuck the broncos go chips.

The best tip is always just go out there and talk, actually maybe what will help him if u tell him to goes out and try to get rejected

So, I just realized today that the two kiss-closes that I had were completely a result of dumb luck. And, I'm back at square one.
