I have an abysmal record when it comes to dating girls. Somewhere deep at heart I’m trying to be nice guy (genuinely nice, not the meme) but I really often come out as creepy probably because of my awkwardness, non existent self-confidence and possibly some mental problems. This plus I’m becoming more and more overweight and being quite serious about asking a girl out (I’ve liked plenty of girls during last 2.5 years, but I’ve asked only 4-5 on a date). I know all the “large” steps such as “exercise, make yourself more interesting” or “work on your mentality”, but quite honest they seem quite daunting and effects won’t show until really late (when it comes to dating), so while I’ll be working on these I would like to understand how they affect the Game a bit more and at the same time set myself some smaller, more manageable tasks. I think that books are the best way to do it. Do you know any good one which are about these things?

Btw: While the short term goal is to try and pick up chicks, long term ones are building up confidence and trying to have a chance to find more meaningful relationship.
