Well, I finally took the plunge and read the sidebar information. Since then I have addressed a couple of my problems with my game. Hopefully what I've learned will help some other beginners as well. Any comments, suggestions, recommended reading, etc. is welcomed!

  1. Text game- As I am just graduating high school, I don't really have the option to go to a bar, so a lot of talking is done out of school through text. Or so I thought. After learning that responding to texts quickly/ instantaneously was hurting me I started adding in pauses of at least 3 minutes as recommend. I call this the three minute rule. Since then, when i do respond, my marks are the ones responding almost instantly.

  2. Physical Personal- I had been lifting wieghts but recently slacked off. Got back into my routine. KEEP A ROUTINE! If anything it shows dedication.

  3. Mental Personal- I have started listing my strengths as recommended. While working out and running, I now list my strengths and my goals in my head, This keeps me going and dispels the notion from my mind that anyone or anything is out of my league. Case and point, find ways to reassure yourself that you are worth it. If you don't think it, neither will he/she
