Hey guys, this is the first time i've ever posted on a pick up forum, i've always had too much pride to admit I needed some real advice and i really suffered because of it. I was in a deep, absolutely brutal funk with the success i've had with women.

on top of all that, when i actually have a successful night and i get about 3-5 numbers, I always butcher the next step in getting the girl to stay interested and arranging a date.

OR even if i got a 1st date, I would never get a 2nd date and definitely no action unless the girl is a real piece of trash but I am trying to date respectable women.

I am sick and tired of getting stuck in the mud in textville, and it's really starting to bug me out.

well no more. I got a brand new batch of numbers and a few new facebook friends from last night and I want to make sure I can build some momentum with at least 1 or 2 of the 5 girls i met last night.

I consider myself a little too conservative sometimes and play everything by the book which obviously means i have no idea what i'm doing when i am texting a female.

by the way, something about me that I also struggle with is the identity i have when i'm in a bar or nightclub.

I am a professional balloon artist. for those who have never seen a talented balloon twister, google balloon art. I have a unique advantage/disadvantage with this talent i have.

if i'm in a bar without my balloons, i'm just another joe douchebag to a girl that i approach. what makes me stand out? what makes me so special? well in the first MINUTE that you are talking to a female, she could be totally uninterested just from that opening minute.

but when i am wearing an amazing balloon hat, or i'm making balloon sculptures for the people at the bar, I am center stage, life of the party, super talented artist.

the only issue with this is that I have always felt like the girls aren't actually interested in me, but they just want a balloon. this has always been my dilemma. I feel like i can sometimes come off as "creepy" which is the worst thing i would want.

Lately, however i've changed my style a bit, and i think(or hope) its working for me. I never have to buy a drink, last night alone, i had 5 different girls buy me a drink. i didn't buy a single drink for myself all night.

So this is why i'm here at this forum. I know I have an unbelievable advantage against all other guys in the bar, I know I have an amazing talent, that some girls absolutely go crazy for. but I am not properly using these advantages to land a girlfriend, a hook up, or even a date. I also think sometimes the girls don't take me as "boyfriend material" particularly because i make balloons, but that is debatable.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story. if i knew how to insert pics, I would show you some of my work.

ANY ADVICE with the science of texting would be appreciated. Thank you.[/img]

Some people would say leave the balloons, drop the act, and work on the core techniques of PUA...I will take a different approach, I think that if you hone in on what comes natural to you and mix the core techniques of PUA then you will be a success...not saying you are not already buddy; but you get my drift. I've been on this forum for a little while along with other's, this one is by far the best, but check this link out my friend it list the best 5 must have PUA books...I personally read 4 of them and gained a wealth of knowledge...don't be affraid to buy and read books it really can help, and get back to me & let me know how the studies are going...the link is http://mysterypua-pua.com/pua-training-literature/ ...have fun, I'll check up on you soon.
