Hi, I'm posting to see if anyone would be willing to share: advice, books, links, guides, etc. to help me get started. I see there are plenty of great resources here on Reddit, but I'm beginning to realize I don't know where to start and thought I might share some information about myself to see if anyone would be so kind as to offer more personalized recommendations?

Below I've listed: 1) Personal introduction; 2) Goals for learning game; 3) Stuff I've looked at so far.

1) Personal introduction: I am 28, been in two long relationships and no other sexual or romantic relationships to speak of, never initially expressed attraction/desire/interest to a woman nor asked her out.

I'm considered somewhat attractive physically, intelligent, sensitive, creative, full-time doc student in a sexy field of study, but I'm eccentric and incredibly introverted (not shy per se, I just feel drained by too much social interaction).

Women who tend to be attracted to seem to be similar: introverts, probably 7s or 8s, creative, intelligent.

2) Goals for learning game: So many potential relationships have passed me by because I have no idea what I'm doing or don't trust that attraction is really there in the moment. It's possible I'm afraid of sexuality on some level. After college, I basically retreated into books and now have only one close friend and a bunch of professional relationships.

I'd like to learn to connect with like-minded people easier, trust that they might like me (for dudes) and/or feel attracted to me (for women), learn to escalate and initiate romantic relationships, and ultimately build the skills to effectively pursue, seduce, and bed sexy, intelligent, and creative women on an at least semi-consistent basis without becoming a tool or sacrificing authenticity.

3) I like James Marshall, RSD is okay but I feel creeped out whenever they make rapey statements. I've read Mystery Method. However, I don't know if going out and cold approaching is the right kind of game for me. Social circle game might be more appropriate. Not sure. I'm totally open to suggestions. I think ideally a lowkey daygame would be best.

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any advice/resources you have to share or direct me to.
