Hey everyone,

I recently read The Game, and was pretty intrigued. I have always had really bad social anxiety all my life. I had so many opportunities with girls in high school (I was really handsome then) but completely blew it because of my unbearable social anxiety disorder. Once I got to college I started drinking and was able to interact with women for the first time in my life. Long story short the drinking turned into a bad habit, and I gained tons of weight, became isolated, and lost all my self confidence. I'm 29 and I have only scored twice in the past six years. Last year I got fed up and quit drinking, I went on a whole foods plant based diet, and I have lost 96lbs, I'm currently 6'4'' 195, and it feels good. I still have bad social anxiety and panic attacks and it's really hard without alcohol, thankfully I ave a great new Dr and I recently started klonopin, it has been a miracle drug for me. I spontaneously chatted up a HB8 23 yo, in starbucks and scored her number, everything went smoothly, that's the first number I have got since the weight loss!

But now I'm stuck in this texting phase, where should I post for help?

Any input/advice guys? No love for a new member?

Well after breaking trough the awkward texting, (short boring responses from her) and thinking it was a lost cause. I was just like ''screw it'', and started being very direct with her, and quit beating around the bush, I was somehow able to lock in a date for this Wednesday.....
