Couple of things you should know, I got out of a 3 year relationship 8 months ago...
and no I haven't been with anyone since. :/

The good news: The onenitis is gone.
The bad news: I have no confidence in going out and approaching women.
The good news: I realize this is a problem.
The bad news: I am new to this city, and have no one to go sarge with.
The good news: The community was invented for guys like you to motivate and educate and share for guys like me.

I am going out to try the newbie mission today or tomorrow.
I will post results, and encourage your feed back.
I saw a girl at the gas station today and approached.

Nervous as fuck, completely warm, hands sweating, nervous, felt like the air got thinner. I used something I saw one of AFC Adam's instructors use, well actually its pretty common.

Me: Hey how are you?
HB8: I'm good. (smiles)
Me: glad to hear it, I don't mean to be so forward but I'd be kicking myself later if I didn't tell you that your one of the prettiest girls I've seen since I moved to orange county.
(WTF did I just directly compliment her? yea you did, don't you fucking dare look away, don't cross your arms, don't touch your face. CHILLL)
HB8: Oh, thank you. (still smiling, short answers but attitude wasn't short)
Me: You know what I noticed, everyone in orange county is really ,really friendly. Were you born and raised here?
HB8: Yea, I grew up in *** and now I'm living in ***, where are you from?
Me: I was born and raised in *** came out here just recently, Its amazing.
I came out here just in time for summer living right next to the beach haha
(Her gas has stopped pumping just so you know)
HB8: Haha right? So where are you?
Me: I'm in ***
HB8 Oh ok, well I'm late to go to (don't remember where..confidence got a little shot that she broke the convo rather than me)
Me: Ok, I'm *** btw nice to meet you
HB8: nice to meet you, I'm *** enjoy the beach (smiles)

After I realized I should have told her about this place I go running at teh beach and invited her to go jogging with me. But idk if that would have worked or not either. BUT regardless of what happened, the fact of the mater is. I was scared shitless and still approached and still got a good little convo going. And when she left, I felt good. Once the nerves settle down its like coming down off a high lol,
Will focus on introducing myself and my name earlier on, I almost forgot to tell her my name lol.

You read this far, I would really appreciate some feedback. This will be a lot easier to get my confidence and game back if I have the community backing me.
There are WAY to many methods and self proclaimed MPUAs out there. My understanding is you can only get better through practice. A failed approach/set is only a lesson learned in disguise. Hence "repetition is the father of learning" The couple people I do follow are AFC Adam, Sinn, and I heard about someone name 60 that his non verbal methods are extrememly seductive. Let me knkow your opinions, and easy methods of getting into game.
Also because I am new to this forum, so if there are recommended threads I should read, please let me know. I don't know how to create a link or a day by day journal entry or sticky, so if you can let me know about that I would apprecieated. on a side note it is 4:20 lol just sayin. I'm 21 btw if that helps.

I don't want sit and feel sorry for myself, or spend countless hours talking with my ex, trying to make things right. Being a doormat, fuck I slapped myself when I began reading all the wussy behaviors guys start making after a ltr break up. SMH, oh well, lesson learned in disguise!!

Thank you in advance for your support.

Hey man,

First off, welcome! Second, I can say that I've only bothered doing this stuff for a month or so -- I actually finally had some free time and saw my completely AFC friend start having success -- and I decided to start reading up. Third, this stuff works. Really well.

I'd say you're off to a good start. Try to think about everything you did, and consider what you could've done better. Could you have asked her more interesting questions, stood differently, found ways to display high value etc? If so, keep those in mind for your next approach. I've found that having goals in mind before approaching makes the AA go away too.

Also, don't forget: Always Be Closing. A girl worth your time will almost never go in for a kiss and never just offer a number. SO, you have to take control. This is hard post-breakup, but you gotta man up. You'd be amazed how much girls like to be led. Don't be aggressive, but take control and have her exist in your frame. You could've still asked for a number but you didn't. You could've tried a neg. There are a million things you could've done to keep it going.

The best thing you can do now is keep it up and think back on your actions after every success and every failure. If you need to, even keep notes (just don't let anyone find em)

Good Luck!
