To what extent do your friends know about the PUA side of your life? I read all your 5 a day stuff by the way and I was impressed! I'm sure your friends would be too. If they haven't already seen it it might be an idea to let them, if they knew about all your successes AND rejections you wouldn't feel that same pressure to perform in front of them.

On a side note. After I read your 5 a day stuff it inspired me to take similar action and approach like crazy, it got me laid! So er......thanks!
