I decided to take accountability and read some more of the forums. The forum is MASSIVE and has tons of information on it. But, I don't have time to read everything everyone here says is gold and I might over look important posts. If I do so, I'm sorry. I just want to start! Tomorrow in fact! I'd like to use this site as something I can go to so that I can get feedback, advice and have a place to record how it's been going. Saying as the "Journals" are left as private, I'll go ahead and post in General Questions because most likely... I'll have some general questions.
To make this post more helpful, I'll list some qualities and weaknesses that I have.
So, this will hopefully be the start for my
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Plus Side
*I'd consider myself as an knowledgeable Beginner
*College
*I'd consider myself to be good looking and I keep up on hygiene pretty Well

The Negative Side
*I'm shy
*Depending on the situation, I'm discouraged fast
*I'm literally starting to go out and do some pro active pick ups
*18
*smoker (cutting back hahaha)
*live with my mom ( Really need to find somewhere and probably get a job SHIT)
*No car ( Doing this when I get my permit)

(-Erm the page was cut off... Maybe a mod could help?-)
*No car ( Doing this when I get my permit)*No cell phone (I get one on Friday)
*Not many friends
*girls scare me
*People scare me!!

I'm sure that living with my mom, not having a car and not having a cell phone still effects my standing with girls dramatically. Also! I'm working on ALL of my negatives, not just the fact that I can't get girls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day One

*I'll do the Newbie Mission
(I'm almost positive I've done this before. But for the sake of this Thread, I'll do it again.)
*Talk to at least 5 girls
*Stop masturbating
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions
Is there anywhere else I should do tomorrow?
Advice?
Experiments?
Questions?
Anything else I should add?
How Should I prepare mentally and physically?

Someone just told me to try and not care, it's a mindset that is hard to put myself into when it comes to game because I got some problems (like everyone else) Should I just take the advice and "Fake it 'till I make it?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And for right at this very moment, I'll post a picture of myself because if looks or style is considered in the equation, I'll take the advice.

(Gay emo facebook picture, I know.)

Get your license.
Get a phone.

new goal: Talk to 5 different girls (of any description) that you dont already know. just start up a normal conversation. This will help you get over you AA (aproach anxiety).

New book/reading material AKA homework: Read "The Game" By Neil Strauss (very helpful)

That should do you for a week or 2. then you can get into the actual fun stuff (not that the book isnt good/fun)

another tip nice outfit nice photo...dnt put "gay emo photo" thats a DLV

your "demonstrating lower value" if u dnt think u look good they wont, im an overweight 21 your old, with a skinny ass girlfriend and i often gets looks from people wondering how i did it, and then they meet me ...

so yea back to first point, nice top got some colour jeans standard cant see yr shoes but HOPE THERE CLEAN, even if there black they shld be clean, and get something interesting a necklace with a wierd pendant, and belt with a big buckle ( not comedy big but enough to show) out some colour in yr hair...

the idea of this doesnt just mean u look good but it means u look interesting it givs a WOMEN something they can spot and open u with or comment on u with if they ever want to

I read "The game many many times gave it to a friend. I'm kinda shooting myself for it but yea. car and cell phone are good priorities.

Thanks Nick! It's good to know I don't need to be in a tuxedo and cut my hair >.>

Now I'm off to the field guys! Wish me luck!

Over all, everything went pretty well.
I asked to bum a cigarette to bum off someone to start some conversations and did that for about 2-3 people one of them female.

Then I sat in front of the bookstore and said hi and generally got the same response, "Hi!" back.

There was one girl in particular who seem like she likes me and have had short conversations while walking by. But over all she smiles and says hi and waves. (But honestly not my type.)

I kept making eye contact with one girl in particular but, when I smiled she looked straight ahead and kinda puckered her lips. (I've seen her on campus and have made eye contact quit a few times too but, this was the first time I smiled)

Another girl I asked to bum a cigarette from and we started to talk about school and I pointed out she was in front of the wrong building. Didn't put any game into this interaction but I'm not entirely sure after opening the set.

In my last class for the day I sat up front and decided to sit closer to the girl next to me. She was about a 4 or 5 but I decided to do it anyway. She started to twirl her hair after I looked at her a couple times and we started talking after having to pair up with the person who was next to you. We estranged names and hers was Lupita or something like that but I kinda put on a dumb act so we could keep talking about it and she said her nickname was Loops. (Like FruitLoops.) I started to maintain eye contact and that seemed to help as well. I got two IOIs of her twilling her hair a lot when I would raise my hand to answer a question. I'm not sure if it's an IOI if she turns toward you and notices her legs. But, instinctively I looked down right away and quickly turned away.

--------------------------------------
So, having done that! I'm having issues with keeping interest. Having cute girls just say hi and walk away isn't exactly good enough. When I'm not trying to control how I act I'm constantly fidgeting or moving around until I notice it then have to "play cool" to keep my posture and seem less anxious. Two or more girls scares me away from even say hi. When I'm trying not to care I forget about approaching and just gock at all the eye candy that's around me. Again with the mindset problems and issues with inner game I guess.

So, over all I can be friendly! But I'm not sure where to take the conversations or get IOIs out of girls. How do I make it less awkward or come up with things to talk about? I almost find myself only asking questions about them or talking about something lame to keep the conversation going. But no real attraction from the girls. I'm 5'5 (fml) and kinda look like a kid (fmlfmlfmlfml).

note for future, "bad move" this sorta breaks confidence and makes u seem a little creepy like yr trying to spy,...

next time: if u catch yrself looking it will happen, when she does turn back at your let her see u, then look up to her eyes and laugh and then - Turn away smiling and laughing whistle lightly she will probably laugh and giv u a responce of i saw that etc... to which u can respond a few ways:

Playful comfort building " me nnnooo dnt no what yr talking about "

plaful comfort building again, " its my over active eye, some people have lazy eyes they cant control my are over active (:D) " normal gets me laughs...

or serious attraction building "yea i respect quality when i see it"
or even negs "oh please, u put it on show for a reason dont pretend u dnt enjoy guys looking,...women hey cant take them anywhere!!! " and laugh...

hoep these help for next time otherwise congrats, yr going the perfect way for a start up good luck keep at it,

--- it wont happen over night, but when over nights happen its worth it ---

another small note

, and dont go taking this the wrong way, but you got a brilliant set of bright blue eyes, /// USE THEM!
women use there "assets" against men all the time, we can do the same back ya no do as much as u can to get yr confidence and eye contact going ! lol
