For the past few months at school I've really just not felt confident about my conversation abilities. It's really not like me to be self-doubting but I'm an observational person and I notice when my behavior leads to negative results. So obviously I need to cut it. A little background might help, I'm not the Type A personality but I'm certainly no beta. I like to call myself the omega type, I'm not alpha but I get the job done in my own ways. However those ways are rusty, being the gentleman and the listening type is only so useful. It's gotten to the point where the girls that I'm attempting to pull will remind me to start thinking with my dick for me. From either them telling me they wanna go upstairs to check out my room or literally swiping their hand over my dick. And as much as I appreciate the forwardness, it's a bit emasculating that I'm not the one taking control of the situation. So I come to ask TRP a few questions. Is there a framework or a checklist to go down in conversations that you adhere to? I've always considered myself a left-brained thinker and if I were to channel my thoughts in more effective areas other than my recent beta faggot cycles of doubt then I could be back on top. Obviously you can't script a conversation but there's certainly useful directions to go with a girl that get em going. And secondly how do you maintain those thought processes that keep you out of anxious waters and being a stone-cold shark? TLDR: How do you go about staying above factual monotony with girls and holding conversation like an alpha?
