Hey there, I'm a newbie to the game and read the book "The Game" by Neil Strauss and got interested in this whole community thing. I was never with a girl and have gotten turned down multiple times, but I'm sure that with decent and proper techniques I'll get there.

I'm 18 and just started studying in Germany and am Portuguese. I consider myself someone sociable, but never had success with girls. I've only had few female friends and none of them were close.

My short term goal is to establish a relationship with a girl like I do with guys now and my long term goal is to actually bring it to the next level and start dating.

I'm sure I'll reach those goals with the help of this forum. Thanks for setting this up.

Good luck! I would definitely push the newbie challenge, go to a mall or somewhere and smile at every woman and say hello. You could even take it up a notch and go out of town and try openers. No one will remember you out of town! Best of luck!
