Hey guys, I'm a junior who's been in the game for just under six months. So far, the only text I've read is 'The Game' by Neil Strauss, but am interested in and have studied minimally others, such as The Mystery Method and other NLP techniques. The game, for me, is not played only to acheive women, but for self-improvement and success in my chosen field, music, which of course involves social interactions heavily.

My count? I've had two hookups, and one quasi-relationship that just ended up weird because the only reason I was with her in the first place was that I had known she liked me, and indulged her by treating her with the relationship, as I had been in her shoes before...not a good idea. It's not necessarily that I can't get girls (but a lot of the time...it's true, I can't), it's that I can never get the girls I want. Basically my game just isn't nearly good enough, yet.

Basically, the reason I'm in the game is because I am suffering from a case of one-itis. And it is the worst case of one-itis in the history of one-itis. And I need a cure--badly. Although, I must admit there is another reason. Whenever I see a couple--not a bullshit high school 'luv you, luv you too' couple--but clearly a real, mutual, and HAPPY couple...I just wish that I could feel that way. But, unfortunately, this leads me back into bouts of one-itis, and the vicious circle continues.

In summary, I'm a piano player, I'm fairly good-looking, and I can't get girls. Oh yeah, I'm also buds with Sonic (username: onomatopoeia911), and we hope that, with your help we can gain the proper tools and education so that we can really get our game down.

--Peace

P.S. Will post later about one-itis case in Newbie Questions; hope that I could get some help.
