I've been actively reading seddit and pua literature for about four months now and have been seeing sporadic change in my game - my game is hit or miss but I do see it becoming more reliable. Some weekends I will go out and meet a lot of new people and other weekends I will not see much difference from my AFC days. I partially chock this up to college life being so unpredictable in terms of parties. Day game has been less of a factor for me up to this point but I am working on talking to everyone which has helped me become overall a more social person.

A big improvement I have gained from this community is the 'i dont give a fuck' mindset. It allows me to step outside of my comfort zone a bit more and also be outcome independent. I'm not afraid to have no plan when walking up to a girl and go in without hesitating or thinking of ways I might fail. As of the past few weeks I've gotten 3 f-closes and have met a lot of other interesting girls.

One thing I noticed is that my friends had a tendency to hold me back. My social circle consists of a bunch of great dudes but we tend to be pretty ruthless in terms of how we make fun of each other, even in public. This can be detrimental when out at parties when we will step on each other just to show dominance within the group. I've been going out solo as of recently or with a group of new guy-friends that I've met and who seem to click more with my style of game.

One thing that I am still struggling with and would like to ask the community is how do you remember all of the techniques? Sometimes I will walk up to a girl and remember to do X and Y but other times it will be as if everything I read went straight out the window. Does game ever become entirely second nature? At the moment I feel like I have to consciously remind myself to do kino or what a decent response would be to avoid saying something AFC-like. Responses would be great and thanks for all of the help thus far.
