I'd just like to report, it's all gone to shit again with the girls.

However I will persist, I am not going to quit.

More girls please Mark!

I'd just like to let you know, it's went to shit with me too haha

I've fucked up by having too much on & being stressed out, then some days I'll not do anything & just be anxious about all the things I should be doing.

So basically, you're not alone son. Looks like we're in a similar boat, lets get back into the swing of things.

Keep plugging away, least you are approaching a lot more now.

What are the top 3 things that keep tripping you up would you say?

3 things. That's tough.

I think people are genuinely very busy in London.
I always thought women probably say things logically they don't really mean. Now I am believing this more and more.

I think I need to take more risks. Be bolder.

I'm sick of taking advice from people. A lot of it doesn't seem right for me. I am very open about my life and failures and sometimes that's not so good. Everyone has an opinion even guys who are shit with women.

With Anna. When I kissed her outside my house I should have took her hand and led her inside.

With Nicola when she came to my house. I should have said 'let's fuck' or something.

I feel like the only person who has ever agreed with my directness on this forum and real life is K. I see am struggling to be authentic. <Not really aimed at people on this forum, it's more real life, people telling me off when I am explicit over sms and stuff>

So to reiterate.
1. Be bolder
2. Do more shit I love doing.
3. Meet more girls in normal ways (don't just focus on DG, which I have been).

Also believe this. I think from a mans point of view its difficult to understand because we think more logically. Women are too caught up in their emotions (not always a bad thing) - this is something I've really noticed in the past few weeks.

This bit has confused me as it conflicts with the rest of your reply. I see themes that you could work on but I don't want to preach at you if you are unreceptive so I'll butt out and leave you be

Yeah me too. Whenever I see you, you always intimidate me.

I was in a bit of a stinky mood when I wrote that, I'm open to advice. I wouldn't post on here if I wasn't.

I am more selective over the advice I choose to listen too these days that's all.

The reason for that is people love to give advice even when it's ill thought out advice.
An example.

I send a short text message to a girl and she does not respond.
Then some 'guru' gives some advice 'Your texting is shit man, you need to build comfort blah blah'

Well it's fucking easy to give simplistic advice like that.

Why do I intimidate you TopHat? Do you have a man crush on me?

That must be it. Explains why I get all flustered around you. No homo of course.

Another update.

Work life:
I'm currently out of contract but should be starting next week.

Anna:
She has communicated back to me but is being flakey. Our 2nd date was supposed to be at my place. She's backing out of that and I've told her I hadn't invited her around just for sex. Kinda pissed me off she would imply I'm that shallow . Anyway I'm not going to chase her anymore.

Vera:
Girl I met off an online dating site. I hate online dating as typically I never get to meet girls who are attractive to me. Anyway she was an exception. Originally from Russia and runs her own business. Anyway I kissed her on the way home. It was better than when I kissed Anna as I didn't even say anything this time, just told her to stop walking.

Stopped a cute chinese girl in Pester Square on Saturday. After chit-chat said she wouldn't give me her number, I said 'go on' and she did. She's messaged me to say she's like to see me after she's settled in a bit to London.

Some other things but nothing too interesting.

Think I'm going to stop drinking for a year as an experiment.
