I feel that the lines and routines are just not my syle. I prefer a more natural style, so other than Juggler, who else should I be trying to learn from? Right now I'm just walking up to women and starting conversations.

Here's something I've been trying:

Just talking to them.

Yep, that's it.

Just talk to them like you would anyone else. If your "game" is natural, women will be naturally attracted to you---it's almost as if you exude it on some level. Not so much confidence, but just a sense of self assurance and ease that is incredibly attractive to women and admirable to men.

Now if you aren't a very good conversationalist, you may have to rely on some canned material to get you on your way. I still use it in case the conversation stalls for a bit. But once you start vibing with the girl, it's all natural from there. Just let the conversation flow, you can relate things she says or bring up DHV material of your own, right on the spot depending on the situation.

You will need direct game to complement this though, otherwise you won't transition out of the attraction phase. So talk to her, and at some point get her qualifying, then suggest a time bridge or insta-date her. Here is where people have problems though, because you are essentially taking a leap of faith when you suggest the timebridge and you risk rejection---up til' now it's friendly and fun banter. It may be more personal because using the natural approach, you are presenting yourself, not some prepackaged PUA material...so it might sting more at first if you don't get the timebridge, or if she flakes. But after enough approaches it will all feel the same.

I'm somewhat in the same boat you are. I think outer game should COMPLIMENT inner game. It seems like a lot of people are still stuck on lines/routines. While they are effective I think they're more of a "band-aid" fix.

I've recently started looking at some of Gunwitch's ideas, I'd recommend you do the same.

I know what you mean and I know my advice is going to be hard for you to follow but FOLLOW it anyway.

Make your own routines, simulate conversations, ask yourself questions and write down every possible response you can come up with. study everything! write it all down put it in your back pocket and GIT OUT THUR! Got this from style and it has REALLY worked for me, although it takes real intent for me to actually DO this.
