I apologize for the late reply; I've had a crazy week.

To answer your question, Shyler: Yes, you should propose a fun thing to do together.

"What if" is not an excuse. Yes, the have a social life of their own. So what? Be a part of it!

You said they liked you. They don't have to LOVE you in order to do simple things such as playing pool or whatever.

Get to know them. Befriend them. And then expand your social network THROUGH them. Try involving some girls this time.

alright im doing quite well when it comes to making new freinds (i made a ton) still having trouble getting into the cooler social circles b/c they are so close and dont really hang out w/ other ppl even if they are friends. also im having issues w/ geeky "friends" tagging along wherever i go and kinda ruining my rep!

You are looking at the big picture. Don't do that. Every picture consists of pixels that make up the bigger image.

Bullshit aside, this is what I mean: It's true that the cooler kids hang around with each other and don't just randomly welcome anybody in their social circle. But even the cooler kids have weaker and smaller connections. Find those weaker connections, befriend them - and then try getting into the bigger social circle of cool kids.

In other words, don't try to immediately jump in to the "cool circle". People know of you. They know who you hang out with and they know your level of value through that. So take baby steps. Hang out with slightly cooler and cooler people (keep getting introduced) and continue to climb the ladder.

ALTERNATIVE OPTION:
This one's a bit more difficult, which is why I didn't choose it as my number one reply.

If you have something that one or several of the cool kids WANT - you can easily befriend them by offering them what you have. Of course, don't just walk up to them and give them an offer, but rather - talk to them like you talk to anybody else. Get to know them ("open set" in other words) and then find out what they want or need.

Examples:
Connections (maybe you have a family member/friend that is involved in something important.)
Alcohol
Women
Parties

What are you good at? What do you have that could be considered special? What are your qualities/connections that people might find interesting? And so on.

It's only difficult if you make it that way.

I apologize for opening this thread after it's been dead for 2 months, but I feel I have something that needs to be addressed.

This thread is great for the broad strokes of what it takes to succeed socially in college and develop a great social circle.

What it doesn't address is AFTER you have this established, how to go about interaction with, for example, a particular person.

So -- be social, have a great vibe, but then are you saying to be totally AFC after you have a social circle? As the OP said, you shouldn't use any unnatural game.
What about natural game? CF, kino escalation, and things of that nature?

There are different areas and sub-areas of game that one should learn. What this thread teaches you is the main area of college game/social circle game that will get you successful in whichever way you want.

Here are examples of sub-areas: Kino Escalation, C/F, Appraoch Anxiety etc.

The sub-areas are intentionally NOT described in this post, due to the one and only reason - that it's too damn long. It would probably have ended up becoming a book.

So here's how you should consider this guide: Read it through and start planning.

THEN, look for your sticking points before you start playing this game. Got approach anxiety for example? Take care of it first. Google on how to go about doing that.

Got Kino Escalation problems? Fix those first.

I strongly suggest you fix all your sticking points by the use of cold approach and not in college itself (if you have any serious sticking points at all that is).

Game is all about self-improvement in general. If you want to become good at it, there should be a constant way of practicing game and trying to improve all the time. It's really up to you.

So Main Area --> This thread
Relevant Sub Areas --> Alternative sources (individual)

Hope this makes more sense now.

Cool, I'm a freshman in college and i've been trying to be social to everyone

I'm decently known around the dorms but the school is huge (30,000 students) so not quite a dent there yet.

The thing i need to start doing though is actually introducing myself to people though, eg giving them my name so they actually know how i am instead of just remembering what i look like

This shouldn't be too difficult. If you're social enough that you actually have a decent conversation with the girls - you can simply put in a "I'm John, by the way... (handshake)" in the middle of the convo and then continue talking.
I haven't. But I've heard that book is pretty cool and I could actually consider reading it.

I read Conquer Your Campus last night in like an hour.

Basically all of the same information that you included
in your post, except it's way more in-depth.

I'd recommend it as reading to any and every "PUA"
in college.

It basically recommends never "gaming" anyone, projecting
positive energy and dominant masculinity. Give "love" to
everyone all the time in order to bring them up, have a good
time and be alpha.
The four traits that it recommends one develop are leadership,
dominance, fun, and being easygoing.

The e-book in a nutshell. Very eye-opening to me, because my
approach before this thread and CYC was to "game" girls.
Which wasn't necessarily bad, because I use all CF and natural
game.

I can reliably say that since reading CYC just last night,
my college game has increased by 10 fold. Just today
I either met or became much better friends with at least
4-5 girls, and a few guys. SOOO much more effective than
gaming individual girls!

Where can i find Conquer Your Campus? sounds helpful

I can't say where I got it, according to forum regulations :p

Little Panda:

I have a question for a college game pro such as yourself.

I get the groundwork, but there are some details that I need to work out.
Today I # closed a girl after talking to her -in a friendly way-. In other words,
I met a friend, didn't game her, and number closed, mentioned Facebook,
then texted and had her add me.

My question: Should I try to Facebook or # close my new friends regularly? I can see doing this for all the girls, but trying to fast # or Fbook close a guy just isn't happening. Anyway, what are your regulations as far as Fbook / # ing your new social contacts.

Ask yourself: Is it normal to have the phone numbers/Facebooks of your friends? Of course it is. There is absolutely no harm in that. In fact, random people that you've never spoken to even once in your campus could suddenly and randomly add you on Facebook, because you got mutual friends. You're overthinking this.

Although, I would recommend that you # or Facebook close whenever the opportunity seems right. This way, you can easily establish outside-college-contact, where you hit parties and/or other events, where you can easily text your new friends to tag along to.
You can get it from their official website, here: http://www.conqueryourcampus.com/index-3.html

In fact, I started reading it last night since posters of this thread inspired me. The book seems pretty tight so far and I like the fact that it's extremely detailed (at least, in comparison to this thread) and shares inspirational stories with it.

Thanks. I think this is what I was confused about.
The difference between "friend" number closing and
HB closing is you don't wait for an opportunity to #
close an HB, you just do it. Which is why I was
conflicted with my # close yesterday, it was too
game-y.
