Prior to finding TRP in Jan 2020 I had no experience with girls. Within a month of finding TRP I lost my virginity and started hooking up with girls, and slowly improving. After that month COVID hit and the lockdowns made me go monkmode for a few months. After lockdowns eased I started approaching again and practicing daygame. Since coming back to my college campus in September I went on 5 dates none of which converted to a plate. My school is mostly online so campus is pretty empty and the bars are at partial capacity and people are restricted to tables so nightgame isn't really an option. I've noticed that most people are reverting to social circle game and my social circle is mostly bros I would go to the bars with so it's not an option to meet girls. In order to improve my social life I got a part time job where I met a few guys that I now chill with. I am going to the gym 3x a week doing a 3X5 program and I am getting stronger on all the big compound lifts. Despite this, I have a nagging feeling that I am not becoming successful with girls. I have been in a dry spell since February. Since then I've learned a lot about game but I am not able to approach with barely anyone out.
Normally, I would hit the bars 2-3x a week with a buddy and do some daygame on campus during the week to meet girls. With classes mostly online, most of the girls on campus are freshman and I feel a bit weird approaching them as an upperclassmen. Right now, I'm thinking of saving up money from my part time job and going to some place like Mexico to game girls and finally get laid. Everytime I see a couple in public, at my job, etc. it hurts a little bit, I wonder why that guy isn't lifting as hard as I am, reading TRP, etc. and he is still doing better than me. I get told by guys I work with that I'm jacked, good looking, etc. but despite that I am not getting girls. I know part of it is COVID and me not being able to approach as much but I feel lonely and empty. This feeling has been making me feel down for a while. My whole life I was a failure with girls and I finally find TRP which gives me the resources to change that. Then COVID puts a dent in all my improvement. Part of me thinks things will not change for the better and this makes me feel depressed. What do you guys think I should do to improve my situation with girls?
