First, I wanna say thanks to everyone who contributed to the Intro, Wiki, FAQ and Glosary. Totally helped turn me around

I've just filed for divorce after 6 months of separation. I was never attracted to the wife, but we filled each other's "need holes." It was a terrible relationship, we were both depressed and angry and sad. After 2 solid months of weekly therapy to turn my shit around, I decided to get back in the game. I'm looking to find a woman who I can be myself around and form a real connection with. Approach anxiety has always killed me. I found Seddit last night and put what I read into practice tonight.

FR to follow: So I was busy all day at school, studying and going to a Job Fair. Talked to every recruiter from a company I was interested in, and all of the hot ones just for some "batting practice." Talking to HB's is always a step in the right direction. Got good leads for jobs and maybe some "talented prospects" too. (Sorry if the un-Seddit jargon throws you off, I'm a sports guy.)

Went to study at the library and met a buddy talking to an HB7 who he's "friendzoned" with. I put some Inner Game 1 techniques to use, but ended up getting unintentionally CB'd when we went to a coffee shoppe. No big deal really. I stayed after they both left and chatted up a couple of girls who came in. No room for movement, but they told me about a concert they were going to and said I should go. I left and headed home, too late to get to the show. I decided to turn my inaction into a reason for action rather than sadness. I texted a buddy and he met me out for a beer. Met him and a HB9.5 at a local pub for a beer then proceeded to meet the first buddy from earlier out at another bar.

He got there about 10 minutes before the HB8 in question. She knew him from somewhere or another. When she came up to order a beer right between the two of us, I Instantly opened with "You're spunky, I like that..."and got her talking. Little kino here, little kino there. Talk about life, personal philosophy, she's a Christian, I'm an Atheist, we're both from the same state but live on the opposite side of the US now. When she cozied up to me I put it on the line... "I really like talking to you, we should hang out again... how can we make that happen?" Got the digits, asked for her last name (great advice) and most importantly I left as soon as I felt like I was about to turn into "Weird Hovering Guy." Thanks, Sedditors!

TL;DR Sad, divorcing motherfucker decides to right his ship, finds Seddit, gets digits of HB8 who he actually likes!
