For anyone who doesn't know anything about me, see my introductory post here - http://www.puaforums.co.uk/introduct...html#post74028

Just to add, when I said I have had girlfriends I literally mean 2 and not for more than a year. My last relationship ended quite sourly and I got so pissed off by it that I left the country for 4 months to the summer climate of Spain.. my mates thought I was dead or something... I don't get rejected often because I don't put myself in that situation a lot, I guess I'm like your average chodey guy. I consider myself to be good looking and I honestly think I have a big head but whatever. I'm skinny but toned ish and yeah... I'm going back to an introduction here so I'm gonna stop.

So, I loved Tyler's Blueprint Decoded and I'm currently in the middle of acquiring Flawless Natural. I just want to get a whole host of information and just reading this, the successes will motivate me to get up off my arse and get out there approaching women, overcoming my slight AA.

Now, I want my PU experiences to benefit my whole life, not just whilst I'm on a night out so therefore I want to improve both day game and night game.

Coming from experiences with mates, I'm more inclined to talk to new people with friends that are already doing so. Going alone I would probably approach but be damn near death with the force that my heart would be beating at! I think after the opener I'm actually fine talking to people, I talk to new people everyday just not for long and haven't attempted to get phone numbers. I think after 1 success (even if she doesn't reply) would affirm a positive reality in my mindset and I'd be approaching regularly.
So guys, I could do with help and advice on -

a) opening (direct/in-direct, situational, etc..)
b) confidence (i.e. eye contact, body language)

If anyone knows of any courses or anything like that then please PM me. I'd be up for travelling to other cities and going out in other cities aswell.

Barney is a great name

I don't know, I always thought it was kind of shortcoming...

It's not my real name, I just like the character's personality

Yeah he's pretty awesome, though the actor 'Neil Patrick Harris' is actually gay, funny to see him playing such a misogynistic character...

Yeah he's a dark horse with an eye for a hottie

I chose the name because thats the personality and charisma I aspire to have through PU, minus the gay part of course

you have to earn the name Barney.

are you sure you've listened to the blueprint?

In my experience, as far as confidence/body language is concerned, you already have the mannerisms of a cool guy inside you somewhere, but you may struggle to bring this out sometimes.

I was lucky to have found this forum and was able to go out with some cool people, which boosted my confidence. Things like eye contact and body language sort themselves out when you are in a relaxed and social state of mind (especially applies to newbies). The good news, even a beginner can sort out body language etc very quickly, by getting into "state". You do this by approaching everything that moves (before anyone thinks "i dont need to do this!", not everyone does need to be a approach machine - this applies to beginners, mostly)

So you need to just go and open. Yep, your body language may suck, you may stutter and feel uncomfortable. So what. Just open with "hi" and smile. Doesn't have to be a "clever opener". Openers don't get you laid. This is just a conversation starter, so dont worry.

Big rule when you're out, make sure you get to a point where you are relaxed and feeling good. This is probably 80% of your game.

I could write a 10,000 page e-book on all this, but i think you have enough info for now. Any specific questions please ask.

What's your obsession with newbies Sapmi haha

Maybe he's grooming them?
