Been actively browsing this on and off for the last eighteen months. Learnt invaluable lessons and has helped me nicely, so thankyou. This year has been great. Started it off with some fun in Japan, went out with a few girls, had my heart broken(that sucks but chalking it up to experience, and still happy it happened as opposed to not). Went on a few more dates. Getting a bit better approaching in places where it's generally more accepted like clubs and such. Yesterday started chatting to a cute girl working at a shopping centre cafe, asked her out and got her number. Felt fucking amazing. She never replied. Sucks but can't wait to do it again.

I love this subreddit.
