Okay. I've read about books on picks ups and I know the gambler and the kinetic touch( It sort of worked couple of days ago as a test). But there's a problem, no drive to get up and talk to women with a positive attitude. Here's the thing, I woke up in the morning, or close to noon, feeling like crap. I walk out the door all dressed and clean with my back straight and head up but still feel like crap.
However, I do see this person and some other people walk and smile. Like I saw small grins even when they walk to class. I want to be like that but HOW? One time I've went to the office(where the girls were) and I came in with the gloomy look and then some guy with a smile on his face came in and the girls were talking and asking questions about him. I was like, "what's HIS secret?"
So please, help me.
I feel there is something wrong with me. What is the way to be happy in the morning to start a great opening of my day to have a drive to smile and talk to people(new people and of course new women)? Is there a routine to learn and do? Thank you

I bolded that part because it jumped out at me. If I felt like there was something wrong with me (and I have felt that at times), I wouldn't smile a lot either. Maybe there is actually nothing wrong with you. Maybe there are good things about yourself that you can appreciate and behaviors you can learn to adopt from others.
Triggerpuller has some great ideas in his post.
From personal experience, I'd do two things. 1. Smile and laugh more on your own. Lighten up, stop taking things seriously, practice gratitude and appreciation, be nice to people, watch/listen to comedy. Experience the 'lightness' of life, not the heaviness. People will be more attracted (in the generic sense) to someone in this more happy and friendly state of being.
2. Practice as early in the day as you can. (If you can get up around dawn, that will actually help your circadian rythym, too.) Go out and walk around your block. Make eye contact, smile, and say hello, or at least head nod, to every person you see. Keep this up for a few weeks, and eventually start conversations about little things. Greet everyone. Don't discriminate between attractive girls and other people. At this point, you just want to get social, nevermind pickup. I believe that I got this one from Sean Messenger articles and podcasts.
sh0gun0ftheast: I know what you mean about the poker face. One thing that has helped me is to just notice, as I'm walking down the street, other people's facial expressions, and keep track of how many people are just smiling for no apparent reason. It was a lot more than I had thought. You can also notice your reaction to others' facial expressions for a switch in perspective.
