Hey everyone, hows it going? I'm 21 and live in Philadelphia. I grew up being the socially awkward "fat kid" from when I was 9 until I was 1. At that point, I started some serious self improvement. Between my own drive to get in shape and help from friends in curbing many of my negative social tenancies, I'm probably a little better off than the "average" AFC, but not much. At this point, my count is at 12 over the past 4 years (although the last one barely counts and honestly, I'd rather it not :-/ )

Approaching and opening aren't much of an issue for me. Right now, I really need to work on moving past small-talk, DHV, breaking the bitch-shield and building attraction. I think that at least 75% of my success in general is dumb luck (ie; the girl was already interested in some manor... etc.). To be clear, I'm not really interested in having some huge count, I just want to have the luxury of being more flexible in different situations and with different kind of girls as well as being picky successfully.

Hey man. Look right off the bat, i can tell your inner game needs work. If i can see that your self esteem and your confidence is lacking from a little post on a forum then there isn't a doubt that a girl wont see it through your body language and voice tonality. working on inner game is just as, if not more, important than your outer game. As far as what to say, that a matter of whats your style. I like MM so i use the M3 model: attraction, comfort seduction to guide what i say so i dont get off gear. But as far as keeping the conversation going no matter what "stage" or"phase" ur in that takes 2 things. Confidence and in field experience. I recommend buying lovedrop's new book "REVELATION" for some of the technical stuff.
