Hey guys,

I am Michael, 23 years old and live in the Netherlands. In the daily life I go to college, somethimes hanging out with friends in the city or going often to the gym. The usual stuff .

When I was young (13 / 14 years old) I was a fat kid. I had not many friends and food became a addiction. When I was about 15 I became taller and the fat melted away. In that year I've got my first girlfriend, but that was only for about two months. The years later I've got about two or 3 girlfriends and going often to clubs to socialize and meeting some girls. At that moment I had not much approach anxiety.

Then when I was about 19 years old my little brother died right away in an car accident and my life changed. I got a little depressed and feeling guilty when I go out to clubs at the same time he's gone. I've got a fat those years and my confidence decreased to level zero. Since then I've no girlfriend.

Last year I had enough of al that fat en started again working out in the gym. Hard work paid off and I've lost all the fat. My confidence increased, but I had al started over again with my approach to women. Since last week I've set some goals from my self each week to accomplish, like this week: approach mimimal 5 new people each day and a extra task like: ask a girl at the station for directions. I've accomplish these goals right till right now. So go I step for step forwards to the point were I must set for my self to get every day minimal a number from a girl.
Besides PUA I go now 5 days a week to the gym, I meditate each day en go so often as possible outside the house.

Why have i registered for this forum? I want to get rid (again) from my approach anxiety, get tips from other member en discuss some PUA situations.

Greetings ,

Michael
