So,I'm a total beginner at seduction. I've had a girlfriend once(don't know how,but I did) but other than that I'm terrible with women. I'm very good at communicating with people and making them feel comfortable. Hence, I'm able to make women feel great in my company but I can never progress any further than that so I usually get friendzoned. I've been reading Chase Amante's blog and some other PUA forums for 2 years but I don't really see any improvements,other than becoming more aware of various social factors. I can't really cold approach because I live in a small town where everyone knows what you are doing at any given moment so I would probably get a bad rep for cold approaching or come across as desperate. My social circle status is even worse because women consider me either funny and amusing(but still never think of having any kind of relationship with me) or creepy. I would really like to improve myself and start succeeding,but I don't know how to start. I would appreciate if someone would give me some advice,literature,whatever you think's useful. Thanks in advance!
