Hi there. So I basically decided to throw myself directly into the PUA culture tonight feet first, and consequently I fell off the bike at every available opportunity. I could use some advice and a pat on the back right now.
So basically I read a few books, lurked these forums for a bit, and watched a few videos before deciding to pay a modest sum for some in field coaching from some experts at a club tonight. If you want to know about where I am right now, I have a LOT to learn. I've concentrated entirely on my school work and got my first girlfriend the month I graduated college after we both hooked up drunk at a party. We lasted a year and a half, but the spark went out 3/4ths through that. Trying to get into the swing of things since then.
I made a lot of mistakes tonight. I mean A LOT. You name it, I probably did it wrong. I bought a girl a drink, gave wrong body language at the wrong times, allowed myself to get feeled up by the drunk girls who were acting crazy in front of everyone, danced awkwardly, acted like a fool, got a hard cider to clam my nerves halfway through talking with the first girl that night, gushed copious amounts of praise to the one student who actually got it, and got AMOGED by a 6'6 jock who decided to grind up against me when me and one of the other students tried to start dancing with a group of girls. And worst part about that last one, I JUST STOOD THERE.
But I'm ok with all that. I can take it and learn from it. I can move past it and grow from it. As the coaches told me, "We were all there once."
But I will say the one mistake I do feel bad about. When I was introducing to myself to the coaches I said, "I've always wanted to be apart of the nightlife, and it only makes sense to do it with the winning team."
I know now that this was the absolute worst thing to say. I shouldn't be in this thing half heartedly and try to piggyback off the knowledge of the people who gave it 110%. I should be giving it 110% as well, because I'm only going to get out of this what I put in.
So hi! I'm Camaxtli and I'm going to do this right.
