Welcome to the forums mate.

The lads are right - inner game and being natural are the best way of picking up girls, but at the same time, I know it can be intimidating to just be told "have confidence and do your own thing".

I wouldn't disregard MM too quickly. It gives you good material to work with and it gets you talking to girls. In other words, it'll get that inner confidence going and may even get some results. You'll probably find, after a couple of months, that you want something more out of the game than spouting off routines. This is where natural game comes in, and it's a transition that happens all on its own.

Don't worry about it, you'll be fine.
