Hey, I'm new to this whole thing but I'm really excited about improving this aspect of my life.

Whenever I get into something, I really obsess about it. This PUA thing is something I really want to work on.

What's strange about me, at least I think, is that I have good social skills.

Maybe I'm being too conceited but I'm actually a funny guy in my school. I'm also an athlete and in good shape. I've been also described as good looking too.

The problem though is that when I talk to girls, my mind freezes. It's strange. I'm spontaneous most of the time, making jokes at everything and everybody, but I just can't when I'm with a girl. In other words, I feel like a total tool.

And the problem isn't talking. I've also won various speech awards and could practically talk to any other guy. Let me highlight the word GUY.

I need help with this. I'm thinking that maybe talking to girls, attracting them, seducing them is no different than talking to other guys or giving speeches. It's in the same realm isn't it? It's like switching from Texas Hold Em to Omaha isn't it?

I'm still a little uncertain but obviously what I've been doing hasn't been working. I'm still single and I'm 17. So what's up? I haven't even went out on a date. I know, that's sad. But something is really messed up with me and I want to fix it.

So I hope the PUA community can help me with this stagnation in my life.

I can pretty much relate to everything that you say. But there is difference in communicating with girls instead of boys. I am still sure that being a great communicator with boys will help you a lot though because you will be able to befriend your targets male friends.

When communicating with girls it is very important to communicate feelings. Girls responds to feelings, guys responds to facts. Therefor it is important to sorta take the target on an emotional journey. This can be done by implementing feelings into your DHV-stories instead of facts. "So he did bla bla bla... and i was both shocked and surprised... bla bla bla"

As to overcome your shyness about telling jokes around girls you simply have to start doing it. Little be little you will feel more comfortable conveying this excellent site of your personality to girls. And thats when the results come.
