About 2 years ago I got really interested in the seduction/attraction literature and started reading a lot of material, including The Game (twice), Mystery Method (twice), Mystery Method videos and Wayne Elise (Juggler) his book, started posting on seduction forums, etc. Things went pretty well, did some pretty impressive pick-ups, have slept with about 5-10 girls since I started that. Now I haven't been reading any material anymore for about a year and I feel that my skills have become a fraction of what they were.

I'm going to have quite a busy time the coming months but I think I'm going to try to make some time to regain my skills (using Neil Strauss' Rules of the Game, mostly) because well, it's just a lot of fun to get girls. However, I'm a bit scared that I have to be actively practicing the literature/material all the time to be able to retain these skills. Anyone of you have any experience with this? Do you really constantly have to be reading/practicing not to lose it?
