So a little back story quick. I'd say i'm a decently attractive guy (decent shape, good sense of style, I've never seen a girl puke when she looked at me) but I have never been a PUA. Not even close. I usually end up being too nice and get rejected or end up in the friend zone immediately. After a string of trials and failures, I got pretty down on myself and seriously doubted if I'd ever even be able to seduce a girl for a one night stand, much less find and keep a long-term partner.

Well after a few months of beating myself up, a friend of mine convinced me to get tinder, if for no reason than to see some hotties. At first, I was timid and wouldn't even message my matches, but after browsing seddit for a while I decided to sack up and give some of the tactics on here a try. and you know what? THEY WORK. I started out with the "hey, whats up" and began working myself to more interesting first texts, which gave me the confidence to be more daring in conversation and in real life. The impersonal nature of Tinder and text messaging a girl was just the perfect level of comfort for me to stop holding back and just put myself out there. What started as a way for me just get back out there, has turned into an active way for me to practice and test out my game without ever feeling shamed if something doesn't hit. I HIGHLY recommend Tinder for those of you struggling with AA or have no clue what to say first or mid conversation. Practice makes perfect and it has never been easier to practice your technique than hopping on Tinder and swiping right a couple times.

TL;DR: Tinder broke me out of my shell, help alleviate my AA and is a great way to practice seddit technique in a low pressure environment.
