So I moved to a new city, and I've been uncharacteristically bold. I've lost count of the number of women I've asked out. I've been practicing body language, eye contact, and other subtle social skills for a few months now, but I've really put them to the test recently.

The problem is, I've had no results. Technically one girl said yes and seemed downright interested, but she had to bail because of work and finals. She seemed sincere, so I don't think she was trying to blow me off.

But is there anything I can do to get better results? Obviously you can't see me in action, but just generally speaking is there a common tactic that produces better results?

I still get pretty bad approach anxiety and end up just fighting through it. Also, I'm a bigger guy; I've been trying to lose weight lately, but it's a slow process. I know being in better shape will help, but is my size my main flaw? Apart from my weight, I have handsome features, and in the right mood I'm very good at getting girls to laugh.

Please help. I just want one success so I can start dating someone and stop having to ask out all these strangers.
