I've been reading seddit a lot lately, and I have gotten a ton of useful advice that I have used in the last few weeks (it works, big surprise). Something that I haven't seen posted that has been really helpful to me is don't get down on yourself for not bringing the girl back every time (or even not getting her number). From what I can tell by other people's posts, becoming a master of seduction is a gradual process and just reading seddit isn't going to make you a master overnight. For example, this week I approached a girl who was just fucking beautiful- someone I never would have approached a few months ago. We walked home from my college campus (turns out she lives right down the street) and I was so stoked on just talking to her the whole way home that I basically forgot to ask her out. Afterwards I realized that had I asked her out, she most likely would have said yes. I got down on myself for not sealing the deal, but I can choose to look at it a different way. I had a good, confident, totally laid back conversation with someone who I previously would have considered way out of my league. Although I really should have asked her out, just talking to her without feeling nervous is an accomplishment by itself. My point is, to anyone in a similar situation, just try your best and be proud of the baby steps. Getting down on yourself for not closing is a step backwards for you.
