A bit of background to clarify. After a terrible oneitis drove me into the ground, I decided to build myself back up as the "jerk" girls always fuck and then shit-talk about. I came across the redpill 6 months ago, thought I internalized it after reading the sidebar time and again and lurking but the oneitis that came proved me wrong. I then began going out with friends who were from some Uni, and it turned very easy for me to game girls there. My confidence shot up. But...

I'm not at Uni. I'm 18, in highschool, and it's been a bit hard here. Moved to Germany because of my parents and I'm stuck in an International school (IB) where about 95% of students are Germans. I do have quite extensive friend circles, but because I don't talk the talk I never get invited to parties, and although all my friends know English they always speak German, even if I'm present (makes convo a bit difficult).

Because of my lack of frame during the beginning of the year I cemented myself as the "nice guy". Became "just friends" with a few girls I wanted to fuck. Cut them out of my life (to their dismay), made some more gains in the gym and improved my social skills and started to be honest with my intentions... The ECs here said it was "marketing yourself as a sexual being".

Intro over. The problem is, outside of school when I apply game it flows effortlessly. There was this girl at the mall once who was wearing a really tight shirt, and I asked her if she's an exhibitionist or something. Kicked it off great, got a number. At school there was a girl (known her for a few months) who always wears low cleavage shirts, and this time a big Nike logo on her bra was showing. After a bit of small talk I said I figured that she'd be more of an Adidas person, and I showed her my Nikes and said "so that's why we vibe well". She gets uncomfortable, hides the logo so I hit the breaks and leave after a bit.

It's things like this that happen to me only in school... Outside everything sticks - the flirtatious banter, the negging, sexual innuendos, a well-placed wink etc. But inside HS they all get super weird about it... What exactly is the problem? Is my game too "strong" for highschool-aged girls? What's your advice and recommended course of action?
