I'm an AFC, a nice guy, confidence-lacking, a whatever you want to call me, but I've realized that I can change. I don't have trouble opening with women, but that's where I usually stop; I have a major problem with getting stuck in the friend zone. Fortunately for me, I have had some successful relationships in the past (lost my virginity at 18.), but I have been in a big slump over the past few years. I recently ordered the books The Game and How to Become an Alpha Male. I am now very optimistic that I can change myself into a man with no fear of approaching and closing with smart, beautiful women. I go to a large public university with thousands of available women for me to practice on, and hopefully succeed. So wish me luck, and hopefully I'll see around the forums.
