Hey guys, I'm looking for your opinion on something, I'm a RAFC (I got out of a 3 year relationship last year, I wouldn't mind going into a new one but primarily I just want to pick-up girls and build up a good rapport for myself).
I was thinking of using school as a sort of training ground to pick-up or even just to build up my confidence with talking to girls. I'm fine with walking up to them and talking to them but sometimes I have trouble portraying this AM image.
I just moved to a new school 2 months ago - I'm in 6th year (I dunno what that is on American terms but I'm 17 in my last year). I think it would be a good idea to get me into more parties. What do you guys think?

School is an excellent training ground for pick up. I am in high school too, turning 17 soon, in senior year.
The only difference between high school gaming and street gaming is familiarity. On the street, no one knows who you are. This opens you up to try new things without fear of being judged because hey, they don't know you and you will probably never see them again.
In high school, things are different. There may be many people you don't know, but that doesn't mean your friends don't know them. There is a tightly knit social circle that encompasses every single person in your school, no matter what clique they are a part of. Everyone knows everyone mutually. I am not saying you shouldn't try new things with these people and use new routines / techniques of game, but be careful that you don't go over the top.
I find myself also gaming lots of girls that I have known for a while. If I am not meeting new girls (there is a finite amount of girls in a high school) then I am talking to girls I already know but am sexually attracted to. Essentially, lots of your game will be Day 2 game and beyond - established game that works on existing relationships.
This was a problem for me because before game, I fucked up my relationships with lots and lots of girls. With a few it was oneitis (I had it bad) and with some others I just tried to be the nice guy. Basically, they saw me as a friend but nothing more. Changing this impression of yourself is difficult. Really difficult. Thats where game comes in, but it takes a long long time and lots of skill.
These are the problems I see with school game. The advantages? Well you get a solid 5 days a week in field trying new things, and you get an added challenge.
