Hi,
My name is Rusho. I m from Canada. I am a masters student in engineering and have a really good life. However, I am a newbie at picking up chicks and I would like to be better at that. I have been reading The Game, The Tao Badass system, Forum stuff, watching a whole bunch of instructional videos by gambler, neil strauss, sasha etc. Also i watched all three seasons of the keys to the VIP. I have learned a lot and now its time to have the in field experience. I hv somewhat of an approach anxiety with women that I don't know and my goal right now is to get over that. I read an article by gambler according to which approaching the first 30 women is really hard and then I will get used to it and would find it that hard. I gave it a shot today. My first try at the gym and it went well. This girl was quite hot maybe an 8 and although i didn't follow the 3 second rule, I did pull myself together and went up to her and had a talk for about 3-4 minutes. I lied to start off by saying that she resembled a friend of mine. I didn't want to talk for too long as the gym is a place to lift weights not socialize and so after the small talk i went back to my workout n unlike some of the other guys i didn't bother her or stare at her for the rest of the workout session. Hope to get this going for a little while n then ask her out to hv some coffee. Also I hv set a deadline for myself and wish to get to the 30 girl point by the end of this month.
Welcome!
My advice: Find a method that suits you, and stay with it. Learning too many material won't do any good to you, you will either forget 99% of it when trying to pick up girls, or become a social robot..
To be honest, approaching girls sucks, and it will always sucks. It will never become "easier", but you'll eventually become used to it and also get better at it.
Good luck
