I honestly didn't know if this was the sub for me for several reasons. One of them being the obvious; I am not a dude. So in that manner I think differently than you do. I am not a hopeless romantic, nor am I desperate. I just don't look at women as a sex object. Where as most of you want to get inside her pants, I want to get inside her head.

Anyways, so I've been reading some of the stuff you guys had to say and I put it into action. Day one I got a phone number. This is how I did it. At a local event and I see a cute girl whom I've had small talk with once before and regrettably didn't pursue her. Once the event was over a I literally went straight to her, but was interrupted by someone who wanted to speak to me. She was still there though. So while speaking with this guy I just say "excuse me" turn to my side and grabbed her arm. Asked her how she's been doing. I totally acted like I've known her my entire life even though we briefly met before. I then say "let's go out sometime" and she's all for it. She gives me a hug then reaches for a pen and paper. I just handed her my phone and let her put it in while talking to this guy. She leaves and soon after I leave. As I'm leaving though she comes back and asks me if I want to go to dinner right then. I say no, because I didn't have time but some other day. I walk her to her vehicle while we just chat and get to know each other and then went our ways. It was a nice little accomplishment, just gotta keep my "game" up when we go out.

What really helped me was my mindset. Just realizing that she's just a girl and there's girls everywhere waiting for a girl or guy to approach them. I'm doing well in my life single. I know I have plenty to offer, but I have to look at people like "what do they have to offer me?". If things don't really go anywhere with her or any other chicks, I really don't care. Because I'm awesome and anyone would be stupid not to see that.

EDIT: A lot of you guys are upset about the comment I made about how I'm not in it for the sex. Many of you have let it be clear that that is not true which I think is great. Let me be clear I DO NOT think that all guys are in it for the sex. This sub gave me the impression that many of you guys were which I've learnt is not the case due to the sensitivity of the subject on the responses I have gotten. If you take the time and read through many of the top posts from an unbiased opinion you will see that a lot of it refers to one night stands. That is not my fault.
