Hello all.

At the age of 29, I've had six one-night-stands and one relationship which lasted all of two months.

While I am confident in approaching women and initiating conversation, I'm terrible at closing the deal. Part of this is a fear that she'll come to my place only to discover that I am a little "quick on the draw". (I deal with this by getting her off a few times during foreplay)

After reading The Game, I began researching the Mystery Method. The layout of it is brilliant and easy to follow, albeit a challenge to put into practice. I've also ordered Frogs into Princes and have been listening to the Art of Seduction audiobook during my commute.

I currently feel a combination of inspiration, motivation, and fear. I'm dedicated to learning and mastering this art, not just to improve my love life but also my overall confidence and personality. What I currently read from women is that while I'm an attractive, intelligent, funny dude, I don't give off the energy of someone who is "preselected." At my core, I'm just a nervous dork.

Here's to mastering the art of making it past "Hello." I look forward to learning from all of you.
