Here's a little about me...

I'm 26 and I haven't gotten laid in some time. I'm not bad looking. People have actually told me I'm good looking. I've had one serious girlfriend in the past and we dated for about 4 years. Since then I've had a couple flings but nothing has ever been serious usually just 1 night stands where i was pretty wasted and the girls where nothing to write home about. I guess what I'm really looking for is to improve my social skills and learn how to actually attract women. I want to be the guy that really gets the women. The hot women. I have this friend who is like a rockstar when it comes to women. I don't know how the hell this guy does it. He has some of the hottest girls chasing him and he isn't the most attractive guy, he drives this piece of shit car and he doesn't have a job. I've realized that looks really don't have that much to do with picking up girls, and neither does money. He obviously is doing something but I have no clue what the hell it is. I've tried asking him before but i don't even think HE knows what he is doing. He is what you would call a "natural". He has some sort of poon magnet that is just ridiculous. My goal is to be as successful with women as he is. I want to be a "natural"

I got into "the game" after looking up some youtube vids on how to attract women. I had no clue that there was a whole community based around picking up women.I have since then started reading the game by neil strauss and in the book he mentions going to forums and asking questions. I figured why not me.

Even though I've been studying this for a while I haven't really gotten anywhere. I guess my main sticking points are approaching women and actually starting conversations with them. I've attempted multiple times but every time i approach I just run out of things to say and the conversation runs dry. I want to be able to walk up to any woman I find attractive and be able to start a conversation and actually be able to hold it and get her attracted to me in a short amount of time. Eventually leading to a number close and setting up a date. I'm not big on nightclubs or bars. I would like to be able to use my game on the random women I meet in grocery stores, walking down the street, or anywhere else. Spontaneously. If i happen to be at a bar and I start up a conversation with a woman and I find her attractive maybe but i don't want to go to bars looking for women.

I've also thought about internet dating. Starting off meeting women online and creating a conversation there and setting up a date.

As far as the whole seduction thing goes. I would like to learn how to actually move from the date to getting her sexually interested. I realize that you can't just walk up to a woman and say hey let's bump uglies. but I would like to learn how to get her sexually attracted to me.

I'm a nice guy and I feel like that hasn't worked in my favor and I'm sick of not getting laid. I'm willing to try new things and take a different approach if it helps me. I feel like it has effected more than just my sex life too. I want to be able to be charming and charismatic in other areas of my life as well. I really want to be able to help other people like me.

Any advice on how to start would really help me out. I look forward to contributing as much as i can as I learn and helping the community.

Thanks,
