Greetings, after going through a lot of medical turmoil during the latter part of 2021, I am adamant that my fears need to be faced. Moreover, I want three goals to be met this year: how to swim in the ocean, get my first belt in capoeira, and develop sexual confidence with women. Although, it is relatively easier to achieve the first two, because there are teachers who teach you how, an in-person community, and a roadmap to success, when it comes to being comfortable flirting with women (which I assume is the best way to indicate interest), the road seems more abstract.

I suppose I indirectly answered my "how to" question with the answer: by finding a pick-up coach. However, what I need more is to either be part of a community of other men in the same pursuit, or a mentor who can help me out. Possibly, I could do this all on my own with the right resources and accountability, but I am open for any structure.

Naturally, since I preside in Manhattan, I would like to practice here. Also, I do not drink nor smoke, so this may limit my night game entirely, which is fine for now. In the end, by December, I hope to be comfortable enough in my skin to tell a girl what's in my head. Everything else that comes after, sex or, hopefully, a relationship, I reason will be from being comfortable in my skin.
