I look like a heap of nerves when I'm sitting in class

Post subject:  I look like a heap of nerves when I'm sitting in class
A typical AFC day at community college:

So I walk into my class looking fly with my frayed waffle shirt and $20 jeans, I notice the only cute girl in the whole class is alone at the far side of the room, reading the book we're working on. I sidle up to her and sit...at the desk behind her. We make chit chat about the book. I actually throw out some decent DOHVs and make her laugh by saying something about one of the character's tendencies or some shit.

And then...what always happens, happens. The rest of the class starts coming in or the professor starts talking or the awkward silence runs train on my conversational ability. And as I saddle in to my rock-hard desk-chair for the torturous 3 hour lecture, I start fidgeting or accidentally making that weird sucking noise that happens when your moving your mouth around and that stupid-ass smacking sound pops out of your mouth.

So there I am, can't sit still for shit and my thoughts are just non-stop, bam bam bam, thinking about how long the class is, how awkward the break is gonna be when I can't think of anything to say to this girl. And the break comes. And I have psyched myself out so badly that I pretend to read some dull-ass textbook or write a poem during the break to avoid the awkward silence. It's still awkward, or is it? I don't know because over the course of those endless hours, I become my own worst enemy.

And so the cute girl sits, wondering why I'm not talking to her after we had a relatively interesting conversation earlier. And the lecture ends at exactly the 3:00:00 mark, I hustle down the corridor and step outside to light up my old, reliable social replacement tool...a cigarette. I puff away on the relatively boring plant matter as it wreaks havoc on my lung tissue, and I'm content.

How the fuck do I stop thinking so much????

I like your way with words! :lol:

Use that to your advantage! I can tell you're a bright and witty guy. Just be yourself. I think I've said this before in another thread, but the best part about becoming a PUA is that there's always more girls out there. Once you realize you don't NEED a particular girl, you can be a lot more calm and confident around them. She obviously seems to think you're interesting enough to be "worthy" of her communication with you so you're already half way there.

Tell some good stories, make her comfortable enough to share some of her stories with you, be a little cocky, show her that "cool routine" you learned while you were studying psychology (play the Cube).


Your mind is trying to psych you out but you have to realize that you are not your mind. Take some time out of your day to clear your head and meditate. This is a confidence issue where you feel you aren't good enough for her.

I couldn't sit still in class to save my life. I have ADHD and I'm always changing positions in my chair. I don't think this type of behavior necessarily makes you look unconfident or nervous. It's all in your head. Concentrate on the class instead of talking to girls and you might find that your anxiety subsides.

Wow thanks that's nice of you to say, if only that way with words would stop getting lost when it comes time to open my mouth. Especially in front of a beautiful lady lol

Yeah that story was from a few semesters ago in Shakespeare class and it was my first attempt at flirting in some time (had a gf).

Anyway, I'm trying to sarge this campus during my last semester here :P There are seriously some dimes here, and I'm almost 21 and some of them are 18 so it's got some potential. I'm in this vending machine lobby that gets a lot of people going through it. Sometimes girls come down here and don't have a dollar bill so I help them out, but that's probably making me seem to nice.

So how do you interpret what she describes? I'm obtaining Style's book about it but it sounds really interesting from the Wiki.

Also, on a random note, why do all web PUA's have their own lame-ass marketing campaigns? What if they all banded together to form an alliance and spread out all over the country, with gurus in different states throwing seminars and making sure that sarging remained discreet? I would actually pay to do that, but some of these guy's spam is just awful

Yeah but like, I can't focus on what the teacher is saying because their lectures are so drawn out. I'd rather just read the material and get done in an hour, too bad it doesn't work like that lol.

But yeah, you're definitely right, I have a tendency to put em on a pedestal and then I definitely wont' get anywhere...how do you stop doing that

I don't think traditional PUA techniques work really well on a college campus. You come off really weird. College game is all about who you know (i.e. your social circle). If you have guy friends in the class, I'd just sit with them and joke around. Girls will naturally want to join in the conversation if you guys are cool and funny. If you don't have friends in the class, befriend some of the guys in the class that look alpha or you've seen talking to hotties.

I agree and disagree with ya on that. I think women that are found in college classrooms are the type that would be enthralled by really good conversation, falling to the techniques of a conversationalist PUA.

But I do agree that it isn't really an SPAM conducive to such shenanigans as seduction :P
