I seem to suffer from a recurrent problem and was curious if anyone else has been or is in the same position as me and could help me out. Here is my dilemma. I tend to do very well for myself when I go out and hit the nightlife, I am sociable, I get numbers and I generally do well for myself. However, lately school and work take up so much of my time I rarely get to go out. Here in lies my problem, when I am out at night in a bar, club, party... I tend to do very well and I am very outgoing, social and am plenty confident in myself. However, due to the fact I now rarely get to enjoy these situations I have not had as many opportunities to utalize my "social skills". I figured it was like riding a bike and would not be problem to reaqure my skill set, however today I finally realized how bad it had become. I walked into the school library and low and behold came across this girl I had noticed at the campus gym a few times and I was pretty sure she recognized me as well. I could not seem to motivate myself over that innate internal hindrance to talk to her. I kept making excuses such as its library and she is studying, or that guy she is talking to is probably her boyfriend and who wants to deal with that. The breaking point was when I was walking back from the bathroom down a corridor and she was coming the other way, I had only second to react and all of the "training" and "skills" I thought I had were out the window. I mind as well have been your typical AFC, deer in the headlights look and all. I now realize that social akwardness has crept its way back into my mind and is starting to take root. I realize also that my only real opportunitis to practice and tune my game is in standard everyday situations where I seem to have some trouble on the approach or getting past a one liner. Basically, I feel that due to lack to practice and tuning my game has become rusty, so much so that I am now unable to come through on the basics of a game I once played rather well. One of my main arenas for game use is the gym so if anyone has any pointers for it aside from the "can you help me with this weight/machine" I would love to hear them. Can anyone help me get figure out how I can regain my manhood which appear to have fallen off and rolled under the refrigerator and manage to stay "tuned" dispite my busy schedule.

Sounds like your day game is either off or never developed.

The day game is differant than the club scene. It has it's pro's and cons.

FIrst off,,, I guess you can say it's a little more intimidating. But in the end it's not. It's the same shit as a club. It's just a differant setting, so get yourself used to it. The good part is, it's new and more fun for the ladies. They don't get hit on that much during the day, so it gives you more value. Shows you got some balls. And since they aren't being hit on so much,,, they're gonna be more open.

There's some other stuff to consider. Like day time, since it's not a club, hitting a girl up and pulling that phone number in front of the Burger King clerk may seem a bit awkward. So find a little privacy for that. Oh, and since there is light on you, if you're dirty or dress like shit, it's not going to help.

Short of that, think it through and work it out yourself. It's a huge skill.

Thanks for the advice rider. One of the bigget problem was that other guys were constantly talking to her in the library and this huge guy was right across from her and they seemed pretty buddy buddy, I did not want this guy to be like what the hell man this is my gf and tear me in two. I did manage to find her in the library alone today and opened. The ice was broken but my mid game was not so hot, so I know what needs work, now I just need to avoid catching swine flu and work on my game this summer at every possible opportunity.

Well have fun. Keep workin her as well as any and all, nice looking babes you see. Just keep trying. The more you mess up, the better you will get. PUA is not about getting one girl, it's about getting a lot of them. So don't let one slow you down.

Cheers
