Hello everyone.

This is just a brief intro about me, for those of you who want to know. Or maybe just a way for me to see my life clearer. I'm 16, Brazilian, handsome (I believe), but reasonably short, 170cm. I'm not a virgin, which is nice, lost it to a Brazilian prozzy though. I currently live in a boarding school in the UK.
I've ever only kissed, nothing more but I blame myself for only wanting the HB10s. Which never happen. Maybe it's because of the change in culture, believe it or not but in Rio girls aren't very forward-going. Whereas here in the UK they are more slutty. Due to my desire of hot girls only, I end up having no girls, which makes me insecure. Also, I'm not that popular in school but I do have a good number of friends and some close ones. But very few female friends.
What I find really awkward here is the fact that mainly all seduction and PU is on text. I have friends who text a girl without ever even speaking to her, and I simply can't do that. Also, there are some party's occasionally including one next weekend.
Finally, do you guys have any tips to pick up girls at party's my age? And how to overcome this weird text process? Or how to initiate a conversation with a girl which is popular and or attractive? Or even good tips for texting.

N.B I've been in this school for a year now, and haven't seen or texted anyone.

Thank you very much guys, I believe all of you have gone through this, and could possibly share their experiences.
