So for one reason or another, I find myself taking a semester off from college. I've read some things about seduction but never really took it seriously in the past. With my time away from school, I really want to take this seduction thing seriously and get some actual confidence and game before I go back... I want things to be different. My main goal is to get a girlfriend, I'm not looking to be a huge player who hooks up with a ton of girls.

Basically I'm wondering where somebody like me should start? Just do as many approaches as possible? Is there anything I should read in particular? I'm definitely planning on using this subreddit to share my experiences/successes/failures, but WHERE TO BEGIN?!

There is a friend I have here at home that I'm sure I can convince to work at this seduction thing with me (he's also an AFC) so I will have somebody to keep me accountable hopefully. Also, I'm working an internship 10-6 on the weekdays so most of what I'll be doing is working out/researching/reading on weekdays, and testing things on weekends. And maybe approaching girls at my internship if I can work up the confidence, but I don't want to fail majorly there and show up to work every day as the weird guy who tried to hit on all the other intern girls...

Basics about me: I'm pretty much an AFC, not very high self-esteem at all. Not a virgin and I hook up every once in a while, but haven't had sex in about a year.

I hope you might have some advice for a newcomer like me. I really want to give this my all, and hopefully I'll have some good results to share with you guys over the upcoming months.
