Hello there, fellow AFCs, PUAs, and mPUAs!

I'm INTJ, I suppose — that's my Myer's Briggs type indicator, and I'll be damned if I'm not extremely introverted. Anyhow, said introversion has been becoming less and less of a socially-inhibiting trait, recently, as I experience the social growth and learn the social skills most people have by the time they are 12 here and now in my Freshman year of University.

I'm newer than most to pick-up (Hardcore Introversion Shitty BL development Shitty game No girls No confidence with HBs—until recently), but my last night's scramble through the PUA wiki's lingo has awakened me to the idea that, through PUA, I can learn BL and acquire the action I truly deserve, but had no idea how to pull before.

So, primarily, I want to learn alpha BL to match the alpha personality I believe I have — shit, I just need more confidence now, don't I? — add that shit to my motor skill index, learn how to sarge properly, and– Sorry, I'm getting excited now; I'll stop.

Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, I just started my first year of University two weeks ago to the day, and I realize that now is the perfect time to acquire all of the social and sexual skills I lack. It was only recently that I realized that I wasn't a lost cause to interacting with HBs — I get eye-raped a lot — and that I could probably learn body language as a skill.

So, I imagine I'll post my FRs in the near future (wow, I can't believe I'm actually getting excited about socialization).

Oh yeah, and I'll admit; I initially thought of all pick-up artists as people trying to emulate some guy from Jersey Shore.

Anyhow, it's nice to see that, from what I have observed, lurking, that this community is a lot more welcoming, intelligent, and less conceited than I would have originally thought.

Abridged: Introverted AFC on his merry way to alpha introverted PUA.

Wish me luck.

And, bam, just like that, friendzoned by the HB7 I was working on. Some shit about an LTR, and him coming back in 83 days that I don't buy for a second.

Positives:
- I was able to get over the rejection in minutes; I refuse be a shoulder for her to cry on (I've changed my attitudes towards the friend zone a lot.)
- I've just gained a wing/connector (she agreed to this)
- I was able to practice the employment of kino (obviously it wasn't terribly effective, but fuck it, it's practice)

Almost got a date with an HB7 "Don" at my University. So, basically, I went to paint a doorstop — this was some Don-organized activity, believe it or not — and she was there supervising the activity. I saw she had eyes for me, so we hit it off. Kept it real cool, noticed multiple IOI's (mainly DDBL, compliance, an instance of light kino), so I got her number, found out what her favorite movie was (Ever After, 1998) and, upon asking, she instantly agreed to watch it with me; alone I presumed.

Wellll, she chickened out, I guess, and told me (via text – after I had gone back up to my dorm) it wouldn't be "appropriate" if we watched it together — it might have been something to do with there being 2 other female dons watching us flirting. She wants to turn our would-be date into a "movie night". I shrugged it off, ejecting easily — there are tons of other [hotter] HBs I'm interested in gaming, anyhow. Still, it feels good to know I was so close, and with a Don.

Any comments?

Today, I started Vin DiCarlo's Pandora's Box system. So far, it's been extremely intriguing (being a psychology major, I'm all for the application of psychology in seduction). I hope to soon be able to apply the strategies outlined in it in-field (though, those, I believe, are quite a bit further into the system than I am, now).

Should be cool, and I shall keep posting.

Oh yeah... and today, I said hi to an HB8 I was alone with in an elevator, and she actually initiated a handshake with me; something I've never experienced before! Upon parting ways, she said "Maybe we'll hang out some time", which I take as a major IOI... though I've been wrong many, many times before.

I know her first name and where her dorm is, so I think she might be very well worth proceeding with. I suppose I should knock on her door, sooner rather than later, and invite her to hang out, or... any suggestions?

And if you're reading this, do my damn poll!
