"You were looking for a way to change your life. You could not do this on your own."
(Tyler Durden/FIGHT CLUB):

Please bear with me.

This is quite difficult.

Here I am, trying to condense my love life/sexual experiences/relationship with women into a small paragraph.

To put it simply;

On a night out, I freeze up.Too afraid to chat up or approach a woman,my friends usually end up with girls and I'm alone at the end of the night,I tired of that.I want a change but I cannot do this on my own.

A little about me:
I'm 23 and in college.I've had sex though,lost my virginity in my first year of college with a random girl from a random club.I've had sex with several different girls and here's the punchline..had a threesome..with 2girls...to be honest,I was just in the right place at the right time.

My problem,I'm shy.

I freeze up around women,I come off as nervous and can't hold a woman's attention.

I've been reading neil strauss's "the game" and decided I can change this,well hopefully BUT the other night I went out with my friends and again I froze.

I had the best of intentions,I had a clear and focused mind.I saw plenty of sets to open,I just couldn't.

In the back of my mind I feel that if I approach a group of people I don't know I'll get slapped or yelled at or else the music in the club will stop and everyone will stare at me,while the DJ's announces "Sir,will you please leave the club without making a fuss" .

I guess what I'm looking for is guidance,advice,helpful tips,books to read,someone to help me but my foot in the right direction.

I'm calling myself PYSCHO_MANTIS,a video-game character from METAL GEAR SOLID.A man who can control what goes on around him,change people's perceptions and feelings.

Thank you for bearing with me,this is my first post and hopefully I've submitted it in the right forum.

come on guys? any advice

You found the place you need to be, just look for the information on this site that's most relevant to you. I'm an AFC myself, but I've made some headway from a book by Susan Jeffers, called "Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway." Check it out. Read the game all the way through, twice if you have to. Pay attention to the concepts more than the routines (Routines Style used are now outdated and overused since the book was a bestseller) I took notes along the way for everything I've heard, read, or watched. Watch the VH1 Pickup Artist Seasons 1 and 2 so you can see some full sequences in action. Watch how they use openers, root them (The reason I'm asking is because....), and then move to new material.

Find a buddy you can trust and work with him. Work out your problems together, spit out your openers to him first and try to handle his responses. Tell him to make it difficult when he gives you responses, it only will help you in real set. Wing for each other to open sets, it eliminates the me vs. the rest of the world vibe when you go out alone.

I don't claim to be anything other than an AFC, but these are some of the things that helped me out so far, so hopefully it can help you out too.
