Big thanks to everyone that so helpful in this community. Here's a little info and what I've been up to, hope it can be helpful to others.

Got out of 2 year relationship almost a year ago, we stayed friends which makes things a little more complicated but I'm glad it worked out that way. I've been dealing with some unrelated depression for the past year or two as well (hey, we all got problems!). Needless to say confidence was in the shitter and I was really feeling bad about myself.

Christmas break was the turning point, I started actively using seddit and really treating it almost like a class. Making a point to do "homework" and really take away the lessons. I just left a job that I really needed to get out of so now I've got a little free time for the first time in years during the job search which is nice. So basically by using all of the Seddit resources 2 weeks later I went from not having gone on a proper date in years to having several dates lined up, k-closed several women at the bars in the past week or two, dozens of numbers, and my first F-Close on a tinder date last night with a very attractive lady.

Here's what I've learned and what I've been using:

-There are many shortcuts to having good game but there is no substitute for being well round, practicing, and keeping up with online resources.

-The RSD Infield have been great for me. I just put them on in the background while I'm cooking or whatever else, even if the dude in the video totally gives me the heebie jeebies.

-The Seddit guides in the left hand column should be required reading.

-If you put in enough time it becomes exponentially easier, you feel better about yourself, other peope notice your energy. Its a good cycle.

-Mixing it up has made me much better on my toes. I'm hitting multiple venues every time I'm out. I'm also using Tinder and OkCupid.

-Seriously, this stuff works and it doesn't have to make you into a douchebag if you don't want to.

-Be patient!!

-You aren't going to get a hard turndown if you confidently walk up to a girl. Psyche yourself up any way you can. This reminds me of Harry Potter when he has to walk through the wall in the train station. You just gotta commit!

-Learn everything you can about shit tests.

-Don't shit where you sleep (re: Bars)

Cheers and thanks again. I'll post some field reports at some point.
