I used to have an awesome flow of speach... I used to have tons of fun talking to girls over the messenger, and even more fun talking to them face to face.
But somehow, and I dunno when it started, but I feel like it started when I got exposed to PUA gaming... I JUST LOST IT.
I think about every goddamn response. On the MSN it feels like I'm bluffing cuz I'm answering after a couple of minutes of thought, and even then the answer comes out lousy.
And face to face it's getting even WORSE! I've got nothing to say. I always look for the "right thing" to say, and the conversation falls apart. And it's so dumb ><

What is happening to me guys? How to get back my... conversation-confidence?!

Drop the routines, go back to your usual conversational flow. Stop thinking about what you say if you're sure girls were having fun talking to you before your problem started.

I don't use routines, or canned lines. A little kino (read, a lot lol) goes a long way.

Just be sure to sometimes tell something as a DHV (just dont make it into a routine), and dont forget to tease her/neg her.

BUT KINOOOOO!

Dont fix what is not broken. i went thru the same thing you are. i always had success talking to females, then i discovered pick up and tried to use routines. i actually dont think i ever got to use one because i would over analyze and blow myself out. i was always thinking and my mind was racing. Best thing i did was drop the routines went back to my old ways. but i put my game on another level by reading the mystery method. it teaches you the pua language and helps you calibrate your game.

best solution...take what you know, calibrate it with the mystery method, and you will be fierce in the field. it sounds like your more of a natural and thats why routines are not working for you.
