I have updated this post after analyzing myself for an entire day.

My original post was about how I don't really get day 2's with girls. This did make me sound like a whiney little bitch, similar to what Minsok said. It was so hard to find the problem because a lot of people think that I am a pretty cool and likable guy. I even began to look externally for problems.

The funny thing about the entire situation was when I reviewed every girl in my phonebook today. To my surprise, I have had a lot of day 2 meet ups within the past year. I just convinced myself that there was something wrong with my game so that no girls want to meet up with me again. The reason why I couldn't find a big problem was because there was never a problem to begin with.

Honestly, I do have a problem though. I legitimately convinced myself that I do not get day 2's with girls, even when I have a pretty good success rate. I was looking for a problem with myself when there was nothing wrong. I have more of an internal problem where I am convincing myself that "I can't do [insert a verb]." I think this may have been the result of me not getting laid in about 2 years prior to my discovery of pickup. It stressed me out a lot.

I am a confident guy, but I criticize myself when there is nothing wrong sometimes. I think I just trained myself to do that because I used to be socially awkward up until the age of 19. I think that I am so used to thinking that I did something wrong, that I will criticize myself (even when the problem is not rational).

I just need some advice towards how I should eliminate this mindset that 'I am always doing something wrong.' Most of the time, I am not doing something wrong. I am just rationalizing that I did something wrong. This is really the last flaw terrible flaw in my confidence.

If you have any advice please let me know. Thanks!

The past happened, don't live in denial. I'll be honest, listening to you whine here, you're a needy, desperate, shell of a guy and I wouldn't want to hang out with you a second time either. You're ugly (not physically). Nobody likes that. The problem isn't these girls and it's not your competition. There will always be tons of competition and if a girl likes you, she'll start screwing up other parts of her life a little to spend time with you. Girls are always down to spend time with a quality man. The problem is definitely YOU.

You have a month. I suggest you find some things to like about yourself. And if you can't, then you're not a worthwhile person and this is why no-one gives you a follow up date. If you're really stuck, why don't you post a video on here that shows your personality and we can rip into you and point out the behaviors/language that make you negative/unlikeable.

Hey I updated the post... kind of odd, but I was actually getting more meetups than I thought. I definitely agree though that there is a bit of a problem with me. Honestly, I don't think that there is anything wrong with me, considering that I was having a lot of second meet-ups (just not a 100% success rate with sex). Sadly, I don't like myself sometimes, even when people think that I am a pretty cool guy.

I even have several HB10 friends, back from when I was an AFC (yeah I used to get friend-zoned most of the time in high school). Fortunately, they still love to hang out with me. They always tell me that there is nothing wrong with me and that I think about things/worry too much. Funny, because these are some bitchy HB10s that are not afraid to tell me about when I embarrass them or do something stupid.

My bad if I confused you... I was pretty confused myself.
