Hey seddit, I am new here so I am going to give you a little introduction first. I am 19 (20 in a couple of weeks) from a small town of Sweden. I spent last year in our next to greatest student city with a bit of 20k students and loved it, but didn't get laid even once (I know right?).

I had read the game before moving, not thought much about it though - then I moved in my now-former roommate who was a true PUA, he had been doing this for years (he was 23) and he scored so many girls during our time together, so I asked him to teach me, which unfortunately didn't work very well (some are not meant to teach).

Anyways, I have been hanging out a bit on a Swedish pickup forum called Sweseduction but not really been putting myself out there.

I am currently on my year off from my university studies and I feel I need to make some great changes in my life before going back (will start working out October and getting some fashion advice from /r/malefashionadvice.

Backstory so far: I have had one girl that I almost dated, she had some mental issues from her family situation at the time so it didn't work out (got laid though). I ended things with her today, after a year of talking to her even though she had a boyfriend after me (Chode as hell, but as I said, trying to change). After that I sort of haven't done any girls, she was the only one.

I am in no way socially awkward and I suppose people are surprised with my lack of success. I am very outgoing and don't have a hard time at all meeting new people, but I am clueless about picking up women.

I downloaded the "Magic Bullet" and am going to read through it and see if there is anything I can catch from it. I have also watched the mystery method DVD but I will do that again but take notes next time since every time I am out, I completely forget what I am supposed to do... I feel that following a structure will help me the most as I begin my journey because I have the hardest time knowing what to do when I pickup girls. I live in a small town where most people from the same age group know each other, and it's pretty dead, so picking up girls in the street is not really a good option I feel, but I will try my way at the local bars.

My question is related to my interests - I am pretty nerdy, but don't look it - I have a very high interest in the Asian culture and I listen to a lot of Kpop and so on. I have tried speaking passionately about other nerdy stuff, but I have felt that always puts a weird vibe on the whole thing. Perhaps I am doing something wrong with it, but it feels like I have to hide my deeper personality (all my weird interests) because they won't appeal to girls if they aren't already in to me - like they can accept it but won't really be attracted by it.

Do you think I might be doing anything wrong or should I just try talking about my hobbies which I feel are more conforming to the societal norm and wait for the time with the other ones?

I think I look decent enough to pick up hot chicks (I have hooked up with hot chicks, just not slept with them) so I don't think my physical appearance is the issue either.

If there are any questions, please ask - I am here for help.
