I have always been confident in my abilities in my life. I have literally excelled at most everything I have put my mind to and cared. This has brought me great confidence within these areas. However, one thing that has always "balanced" out the positive side is my history with women. It is something I have literally repressed from my mind becuase it is so negative and brings me down from my normally confident state. I become depressed and people notice. However, realized that I am almost 23 and need to start dating and seeing people settle down, I realize that this something I can't run away from. Love and connection and reproduction is one of the basic humans needs and desires. Here is my story. Basically all my life I have been the friend to the girl. I remember 3 girls in my high school that liked me, but that was it, and was not interested. After getting to college, I literally have met probably about 400 women (had conversations etc), and made friends with about 40-50 of this women. I always read the stories of people that come here in search of serious help based on "tragic stories of how women shot them down etc". a continuing theme in all these stories is about men who had women like them, or approach them, or gave them IOI's, but failed to act appropriately. I cannot remember a single time in the past 5 years where I have even gotten an indicator of interest from a girl (Serious). I have never gotten a double take. ever. It just boggles my mind that a guy can meet that many women and have no interest from any of them. I have had multiple women tell me, to my face that they could never date me. The thing that really gets me down is that my guy friends tell me I am a great guy, that I act confident and have perfectly good conversation skills. So I am wondering, does anyone here have a similar past? and how did you overcome this huge inner game hurdle.

Did you ever ask them why? If they're honost enough to tell you that they would never date you, they're honost enough to tell you why.

They're throwing you in the Friendzone. This is usually because you're not being aggressive enough. You're being too passive.

Start applying more kino. This is the biggest change most need to make in order to avoid friendzone. Apply kino. It's the weapon that makes her masturbate to the thought of you.

You say that you're good with communicating with women, but what in your mind is good communication? You have to program yourself to believe that "good communication" means teasing her, being playful, and being fun to be around.

Don't be afraid to be daring with women; to push their buttons and fool around with them. If you want women to stop treating you as their "nice", "sweet" friend, then stop acting like they're "nice", "sweet" friend. Act like a natural seducer.

As far as getting IOI's right off the bat, start working on your avatar and body language.
