Hi everyone, I'm Styder,
came across this forum last year after reading The Game.
However, never could pull myself together to get started with pickup...
I had a crush on a one-itis for a 1 year and a half.
I haven only been able to see her few time until now,
as she lives on the other side of globe.
She gave me the LJBF, but since I liked her so much also as a friend,
I kept contact with her.
Some time before I met her, I have been friends with an another girl.
I only thought as a friend, but she told me that she had fallen in
love with me after a year
Haven't seen that comming 
As I had a crush on my one-itis, I turned her down...
I thought many times that I should stop pursuing my one-itis and move on.
I have seen the girl that I like when I was been able to, and text her few times a
month while we were distant from each other in quite a AFC manner
Luckily for me, it payed off keeping contact with her,
She told me that she had also fallen in love with me and want to be with me.
I guess this is one of the rare occasions that a dude gets his one-itis.
Just wondering, how come you guys recommend to quit pursuing one-itis?
I mean, as a pua, don't you have the options to date other girls,
while pursuing the girl you think is the one? (or do it like the AFC-way like me)
If you FTOW to fill out the hole in your soul anyway after getting rejected,
why not keeping contact with her anyway?
Style wasn't able to get his one-itis by using pick ups; it had the opposite effect!
Maybe, being just yourself is the best way to get the one-itis?
I mean, there may be something to it after all?
I think that reading "The Game" by Neil Strauss, and the two books by John Gray
"Men are from mars, Women are from Venus" and "Mars and Venus on a Date"
helped me to understand how men and women thinks
Maybe I was lucky, but getting the one-itis isn't that impossible after all,
just time-consuming!
Keeping contact with her by texting openers, being understanding and supportive
when she is feeling down, complimenting her when she is happy, very basic AFC stuff,
but I must admit that it wasn't painless.
Anyway, just happy that I didn't move on!
