So here is the deal strangers on the internet. I am a 30 M with a son I have 50 50 custody of.

As far as game goes... I think I still have it. I can carry a conversation, I have confidence, I know what I want and go for it.

But it has been 10 years since I have even attempted to pick up a woman, and am not exactly sure whats what in the dating world anymore.

Have things changed since 99-2000? Do you have any advice on how things work now vs then? Where to meet ladies?

I am not looking soley too hook up, but want to have the best chances of getting what I want, wether it be a date, or a hook up, when I go for it.

MY GAME PLAN

I am a humor type of guy. I usually just go in with the hello, introduction and small talk. Listen and be interested without gawking and hanging on every word. Use body language, to show some interest, but not a lot. Once the conversation is going I usually drop some cheezy joke that is not really funny. If she laughs it is usually a good sign she is into me. Then you kick it into a higher gear. Smattering of not giving a shit and breaking physical barrier as soon as possible.

Does that shit still work?

Help a guy who is so fucking rusty it is almost sad, some tips and tricks to get some dates and meet some ladies.

Thanks.
