I didn't realise this before but a couple of years ago I used to have solid game. I used to be "that guy" that my friends would keep asking "how did you get that girl?!" etc. but ever since getting into the pick up artist theory n stuff my game has seriously suffered. I can barely make interesting conversation with girls any more.

The conversation is so boring that I find myself getting bored at my own conversation. I tried really hard to try to forget all these theories and pickup lines and DHV's and all the stuff that I read but whenever I speak to a girl it's always in the back of my mind. It makes me really self-conscious and I can't be natural anymore.

This has only been going on for 3 months so it might just be a phase but I'm afraid if it could also not be. Either way I'm sure it's better to fix it sooner rather than later.

Should I throw myself into the game and force myself to go out and talk to women as much as I possibly can or should I just wait until I feel comfortable again?
