Ok So I read the 'game' a couple weeks ago and the first weekend after I went out I did great, got a couple of K-closes and have fucked one of those girls Hb8 a couple of times since. I wasn't bad with girls before but definitely suffering from a lack of confidence at the moment.

Have been bombarded with so much information from this and other websites and havnt had many opportunities to go out since so when I go out I have tonnes of things going on in my head and am still bad with AA. I also seem to stumble over my words a lot.

Should I just forget it all, go back to basics, pick one method and go with it?

No! There is no such thing as too much knowledge. What you are suffering from is a lack of structure. Keep hoarding knowledge but only pull it out when you see a need for it in YOUR game.

I am a jiu-jitsu buff and a wellness/goal achievement Coach so I will use BJJ as the example.

My game in BJJ is simple (Because I am only a blue belt, plenty of time to get complicated later), no matter where I am I know that I am trying to get to side control. I want to get to side control for the simple reason that I submit someone and win the game (think fclose kclose #close) 80% from there. No matter where I am I have that position as a goal (think of your best gambit as your target position).
Now because there are literally infinite possibilities for body positions that I can end up in (limitless directions your social interaction can take) I am constantly running into "what ifs" that throw me off of my game because I haven't acquired the proper technique or counter (think of routines, dhv stories, negs etc.) to disarm them.
So in my pursuit of the perfect BJJ game (the perfect seduction) it is imperative that I arm myself with all the tools that I can. I have learned 1000s of techniques. This does not however mean that all of them are added into my game for achieving side control (your best gambit) and then ultimately submitting (closing).
The basics are the basics for a very good reason... they work best, but if there weren't situations that called for more complicated techniques then they would never have been invented. Most of the time the situation calls for a solid use of the basics in BJJ, nothing too fancy. If you try something that is too fancy for a given situation you will probably end up in a worse position than where you started.
My game is pretty basic in BJJ... because I am a BLUE BELT!!! If I want to move up in ranks and eventually acquire the perfect jiu-jitsu game then I am going to adjust and practice when the "what ifs" dictate that I use something more complicated. Your techniques are designed to solve problems. Occam's Razor says it all "the simplest explanation (or solution) is most likely the correct (or best) one".

Crazy long analogy but it covers my thoughts. No such thing as too much knowledge. Definitely such a thing as trying to use more knowledge than you need to solve a problem.
