so i have this old friend that has expressed extreme interest in me since i broke up with my longterm girlfriend, she is discusting in everyway as a potential fuck buddy/girlfriend, but makes a pretty good friend other than the fact that she cock blocks me. ive told her that "us" will never happen but that doesnt seem to deter her from trying and from making it hard to talk to other chicks. my problem lies in the fact that i dont get out much unless its with this set group of friends that include her or i wont just cease contact with her. what are my options here guys?? i dont want to be mean but i need her to back the fuck off so i can talk to other girls without her fucking it up. any advice?

The best advice I can give you is that if you want to pursue this stuff to your fullest potential, then you have to realize that this is life changing. And by that I mean that you will have to make decisions and choices that will shape your life for the better, because no one wants to die alone, except for those who do, and I'm not one of those and you sure as hell aren't.

Im in this for a month and already I've had to quit my job and ditch my best friend who I've known for 12 years, because I realized at some point in the last month that neither my best friend or my job where gonna help me achieve what I want, but more importantly they were both going to fuck with my game and hold me back.

Lesson 1 for any PUA, determine the people and things that hold you back, and ditch that shit, the sooner u figure out what that is for you, the sooner you'll have the success you want. Ain't no such thing as being nice or mean, its being the guy who puts his shit first.

On a side note, an ugly girl as a wingman, ain't always a bad idea... unless she chases away the girls u want. Then get rid of her and if necessary the group and find another. Unless your town has a population of 10, you shouldn't have any problems.

Fake it 'til you make it.

Set goals you can achieve, no matter how small, and you will always succeed. And learn to be a bit of a douche. I'm still calibrating that part and trying to find the sweet spot.
