To begin, here is a bit of information about myself: I am 18, senior in high school, and am still a virgin. I was never really built, but had been a runner, so I was relatively fit. Amongst finding the red pill, I have started lifting and it's had a big effect on my confidence. All my life I was taught to be nice, respectful, and to apologize, no matter the circumstance. I have had a few girlfriends, but I have either backed away due to possibility of sex/sexual activities, or been too beta to maintain the relationship. I have always had a sense of false confidence with no follow-through. Now, story-time.

My life consists of school and work during the week and partying on the weekends. I am decently liked, not to bad on looks, but I was always afraid of girls because I was really self-conscious and did not want to taken the wrong way. A few months ago, fate smiled upon me when I clicked the "random subreddit" button on Alien Blue. This was only a week into my Reddit history. I had found the Red Pill. Curiosity took me and I began to delve. Story after story, I began to learn what it means to "swallow." At first, the notion that being an asshole to girls was the way into their hearts (or vaginas, whichever), was completely disgusting to me. I hated the idea and quit reading after maybe 5 stories. Now, fast forward to a month ago. Prom is coming up. I am dateless. I haven't had a girlfriend since Sophomore year, and word on the street is that I'm basically a little bitch. So, my options are limited, VERY limited. I thought about it, and realized that I did have one decent option, my best friend. She was someone I wasn't scared around. I was confident, but that was because I treated her like one of the guys instead of an alien life form that I cannot even approach. I was thinking, though, "How the hell can I get her to go with me?" I know what you're thinking, "Just ask, that's how everyone else does it." In my mind, however, the notion of just asking was too much for me. I had turned her back into someone I could not approach. That's when I decided to revisit the Red Pill.

It was a weird drunken night at my friend's house. We had a bonfire and most of my boys had left but I was staying the night. It was about 2am when we started texting, she messaged me first and started asking about prom, who I liked, etc. It was just basic shit that she would ask on the reg so I payed no attention to it. That's when she started asking me to "find her a date." I want to say that this girl is not a model, but she is definitely sexy. Brown hair, D cup, ass that won't quit. I knew for a fact she had multiple guys on deck that she could make bootycalls to. So, why was she asking me to find her someone? I thought, "Maybe she wanted to go with me?" I didn't know what to do. It was like 3:30am when she signed off for bed. Well, I couldn't sleep. I was excited at the idea that a girl could like me (as more than friends, or even just to go to fucking prom with me.) I opened my Alien Blue app and jumped straight to /r/theredpill. Now, I won't bore you with the specifics of what I read, but I'll give you the TL;DR. Essentially, I learned that you have to fail to know you are trying, that you cannot win if you don't try, and that girls like a guy with true confidence. Obviously, it was not an immediate change, but I had a realization that night. Being Alpha doesn't mean you have to be a complete dick to girls, you just have to be confident and know what you want. Now, here comes the good part.

Let's take a trip forward again. One week ago. I asked her and she said yes. That is done with. We are going to prom together. This led to us hanging out more and a few awkward drunken make out sessions. It's whatever, I've been quite out of practice. Anyways, this whole last week has been about prom. What're we doing, food, transportation, etc. We are going in a limo with her friends, my best friend, and his date, Molly. That's another story (conclusion yet unknown.) We all decided to ride together there and back to whoever's house we leave from. This is where I made an executive decision. I suggested we get a hotel room. I didn't say it in a way that was overly pushy and it was definitely not a question. It was more of a matter-of-fact statement that we needed to get one. She didn't even hesitate. So, prom night 2014 will be fucking awesome because I am going with a hot girl that I've known for years, we get to go out, she's paying for all of her own share (another RP tip I picked up on), and then the night will conclude with two friends going back to a hotel room to do the dirty deed. /r/theredpill you are a thing of wonder.

If you are interested, I am going to now tell a short story about what spurred this post. Sure, going to prom with my best friend is awesome, but tbh i feel that even a blue pill could pull that off (based on the fact that I was a bp and she wanted to go with me.) The real determiner was something that happened a couple days ago. A girl talked to me. Please, pick your jaws up off the floor, I know, it's fucking awesome, right?! Well, actually it is. In my town, we have two types of partiers, the rich, popular people who get together for "invite-only's," and my kind of partiers, the dirty ghetto group that likes to get shitfaced and fuck shit up. Well, this girl is queen of the partying. It doesn't matter what, who, when, or where, but she is always at the biggest parties, ghetto or snobby. She is a lax girl, hot, obviously athletic, blonde hair, tan, and she has thousands of followers on Instagram. I know what some of you are thinking, but this is kind of a big deal. The only girl to have more graduated last year and is now a swimsuit model, if that gives some perspective. This girl is smart and hot. A killer combo for where I live. Apparently she was a Redditor too at one point, addicted for a year and a half I think she said. I digress, she is way "out of my league"... Right? Here we go.

Never talked to her before. Sure, I worked with her, we had 2 classes together and we have mutual friends, but I was a wee bit intimidated (huge understatement). This girl is the hottest girl in school. Btw she's also only a Junior, wtf. Anyways, one day she asked me a question, nothing inviting, it was, "Can i borrow your headphones?" Well, I was mid-conversation with one of my best friends (Molly boy). I didn't really care that she needed headphones, it's not like we were friends or anything. She kept saying my name over and over. it was annoying. So, I told her to shut up and that she could clearly see I was in a conversation. She was caught off-guard.. So was my friend. He told me that was harsh and that I should apologize. I told him that I meant what I said and that I wouldn't apologize (she could hear us talking). I finished my conversation and then turned and handed her the headphones. Didn't think anything of it. The next day I came in to class and guess who smiled and said hi? Queen bitch. That honestly caught me off-guard. Since then, we have had conversations and even joked around a bit. I turned from someone who wasn't even on her radar to someone who showed semblance of a friend. Never in a million years would I have ever been able to talk to this girl, but RP somehow helped me get there, so I want to say, thank you for all the stories and tips on how to be a better me. My confidence is up and I am happier than ever. Now shut up, can't you see I'm having a conversation with my prom date?!
