I feel so dependent on having a woman in my life! It's always been like this for me and I can't really be happy unless I'm in some kind of relationship. If I'm not that's all I dream about.

For the last few months I felt like I was progressing pretty well with this pickup thing. Dating different girls was just what I needed, but right now I have nothing lined up and it's messing with my humor. I went sarging with a couple of guys yesterday and I felt so useless. I somehow got a girl's number in the end, but I felt like I was really crashing and burning. I'm not surprised that she hasn't messaged me back. I cannot help but overanalyze every single thing I do when I talk to a girl I have even a marginal interest on. I know they must pick up on that even if only subconsciously and it's ruining my chances.

What can I do to be happy and energetic even when I have no women lined up?
How can I shift my focus from the goal (getting the girl) to the journey (doing the pickup)?
