Money isnt really an issue, you can always go to a bakery or coffee shop and it wont cost you nearly as much as going out to bars or clubs. The quieter atmosphere is also better for the language barrier. If you are that introverted start off by smiling at random women and saying "Hi", "Hello", or "How are you?". It doesnt matter if they answer or not. The goal here is to get you comfortable with basics. Once you get through that start mentioning something about the environment, something she's wearing, or what she ordered (if in a coffee shop). If the conversation gets awkward then end it by saying "It was nice to meet you." Pretty basic stuff man. Try this for a week and report back here with results.
What would I have done in my ( conservative ) developing country with unemployment, no oppurtunities and I would need to compete with unemployed, highly qualified people there ? I think its not a good country for game too, people are not that sexual openly. Maybe I would never had access to computer, game. I wouldn't have looked at things the way I do now. I wouldn't have worked on productive self-improvement. Wouldn't I have been a fool to not come when everyone else there would kill to come here. My father was here and we moved with him. I went to school, language classes. I can't think of a good way to get more proficient in daily language use. Watching serials maybe.
Saying hello without a reaon feels unnatural to me. I am thinking of advice on ear-piercing, join us we are interesting, you seem cool, are you cool things. I opened a girl on bus saying come here, its shady here. I also asked directions on other girl. I looked at soft drink promo girl through her sunglasses and she said sth., IOI I guess, I didn't understood, i smiled and took off. I conveyed my ( sexual ) interest to a authoritative women whom I saw regularly and who was living with her boyfriend ( she mentioned it to us ), looking in her eyes, lips. I was impressed in first sight and by others being impressed with her. I tried to hide it and stay cool, I think it worked initially. I was nervous to have a women instructor and was relieved that she wasn't stunning beauty. I noticed that when she leaned into me over the desk and I looked directly at her, head high. Maybe she liked me because I sat with girls. I took first bench away from windows. Guys sat in windows side. Girls sat in my side and two with me. I thought, heck, if they wanna move, they will move, why should i ? While talking to her, I looked at her lips as if I wanted to kiss her, she looked at me questioningly and as if to piss me off. I looked at wall intensely as to say you are a wall, a wall is more considerate than you, better than you and opened my mouth as if to release my kiss to the wall. I said bye, she said bye and I left. No big deal, things continued as usual. Next time I seeked eye-contact, she couldn't keep it. A charged short conversation followed as I left, me comfying her and she making up with me? Next day I avoided eye-contact to comfy her, I felt her gaze and joined. I broke it after I blink to keep things normal in class. She liked me, helped me with my language, pursued me to study further, helped me finding appropriate course and even didn't mind me doing that that much. At the end I think I showed too much interest and lost her interest. She offered to keep helping me. I gifted her chocolate, she offered me her e-mail so I could keep contacting her, I said no as I had a letter with my e-mail and good things about her in that chocolate pack. Now I read it, I feel embarrassed. I continually contacted her, fearing I will lose such a wonderful women from my life. She let me know that she was getting married and would help me after that. She asked me to be self-assured somewhere in this whole exchange. I wrote her a wish that says sharing increases happiness and lessens difficulities and I wished their life to progress as in their wishes. I believe she misinterpreted it, she thought that I said that because she let me know her marriage - shared her happiness. Same for second part, she took it literally, I meant it for them independent of if they were together or apart. Afterwards I forced e-mail out of her, she gave me e-mail thats dead now. I thought of it then, said I would contact her when I needed her help and never contacted her again mainly because of other reasons. It lasted almost a year. I learnt a lot from her about life. I knew of game before her but ignored it. I am deeply involved in it because of her. She drives me to be a better man. I tried to hate her. Now she gets the full credit ( for the monster she created ). Had I got her, I wouldn't have tried to be better. I would remain AFC forever and she would eventually leave me. Even more attached and dependent I would be. Hope someone learns sth. from here and give me feedback if I have miscalibrated ( read her signals wrong ) sth. somewhere.
Then I have got asked number in school, two intense eye-contacts during day, in bus and in library, been called mafia in the lift and girls behind asking who is that. Eyecontact to a girl in tram and she went blinking. Thats basically all I have got, done, achieved in 5 years. Before I was even more afc, liking girls and never doing anything at all, nicest guy of all and proud of it at least and mostly in school.
Tomorrow, I am going with a wing for day-game. Collecting openers and followups. Its difficult to get them for day-game. I know elderly opener Is that a good ... ? And thats almost all of it.
I have been trying to be more social, talkative. My tempo is not high though. Thanks for a challange and guides. I'll report back in a week. I'll keep you guys informed.
