I'm 21, college age male, here for very similar reasons as all of you. I'm not looking for constant sex, but really just meeting, attracting, dating and getting to know women to eventually find an awesome one worth sticking with. I don't really have many close friends, and the ones I do are quite introverted. As a result, I'm not invited to a lot of parties, don't go to clubs too often, so much of my focus has been on daygame (which seems better for my motives anyways)
I've been reading around here a lot, and I'm constantly internalizing the fantastic material provided here and trying to improve myself. I'm currently forcing myself to have at the absolute least 1 random conversation with a girl per day on my college campus. Once I get going I usually average around 3-5 conversations, and the majority of them go pleasantly. Maybe not so much in attraction, but at least in general friendliness and getting to know the girl.
I don't have any crippling approach anxiety, and if I ball up, I can make any approach without caring about the outcome. Generally speaking though, I still hold myself back a bit more than I want to. However, for the most part, I'm doing averagely in my progress. No real major success since I've started. I've had one awesome pickup where everything clicked but then the girl flaked on me in the phone game. I tend to only # close if I think the girl is really cool, but I wonder if I should be collecting more from average-good interactions just to have more potential.
I guess I'm writing this just cause I feel a bit lost, or perhaps "stuck" is the right word. I definitely love the improvements I'm making in myself but I'm a bit unsure about how to keep moving.
For example, I feel like I get stuck in interview mode a lot, I feel kind of uncomfortable practicing kino (Especially in daygame approaches, I Just kind of become the shoulder-touching guy), and I feel like I have the capacity to make things click, but it's currently a bit hard to come by, and instead I just kind of float in the water, instead of swim.
I guess I feel somewhere stuck between an AFC and a confident alpha male. Maybe it's just some odd transitional phase and I just need to keep practicing, but I wanted to see if anyone here could relate or if anyone could provide any tips that might push me a bit further to where I need to be.
Sorry for the long post, but I really love this community and I know if anybody could help push me, it's you guys :)
