Ok. so earlyer this summer i was really good at pickup. i didnt even really have to talk to the girls that much. i could dhv by talking to every other girl around her and push pull by looking at her and smiling and next time i look at her i just roll my eyes a little bit. and i guess i got this girlfriend and stoped gaming on women all summer. and now shes gone and i tried to pickup women again and i cant do it. i try to talk to the girls and they respond very negatively. ill just smile and say hi or something. i dont know if its how im opening or how im gaming. i guess i dont really dhv anymore. i just try to be confident. i dont even know what im doing wrong. can someone please help?

It's normal you are a bit rusty. Your skill will return. It's you probably still know the general rules but forgot applying some finer details which make the difference between failure and success.

how do i get my skill back?

How to get back? Easy: practice practice practice. May sound a bit cliched. Well, but honestly, think about what you were doing before (before gf), what kind of material you were using (including things you read) and maybe go through them again. Seriously, it's like school stuff, you take a class, do the exam, get the result and then forget all about it. Then later on you get another class of the same field and you revise and it all starts to come back, eventually you'll remember everything. So just, go through this forums topics and practice. Somehow, i'd recommend to use kino because it gets your confidence back fast and also builds bridges. Hope i was of any help.
