I just wanted to say thanks to everyone's tips. I just got out of a 3 year relationship and have basically no game. But with your guys (and girls!) tips, I have scored 3 dates with different girls this coming weekend.

Although I am pretty shy around people, I feel confident in myself that when I meet them for lunch/drinks, I will be able to hit it off.

So thanks for the tips and giving me the courage to say fuck it, and go out on a limb. At least if I get rejected and spend a night in, I will know that at least I tried, instead of sitting around waiting for the world to hand me women.
