First off, I've been monitoring this subreddit for about a year. I ended up deleting all of the girls numbers who I've collected in approximately that same time span and it wound up being 74. Seventy four! Sure, not all of them were closes, but I feel like I have come a long way. Not hesitating on approaches for someone who would likely be considered shy not too long ago is a big step forward.

I'm going to go back to lurking in the shadows of this sub, but just wanted to show my appreciation. I've still got much to learn and look forward to improving my game even more in the near future. I just thought I'd give this bit of encouragement to relatively new readers that these guys (and gals) know what they are talking about!
