"Game" doesn't exist. Clean yourself, be respectful of others, talk to people. That's the entire game.
You just lost the game btw, but that's to another point
My 'game' issue is I kind of break down when I speak to a girl I am interested in.
I get so nervous and overthink that I stop functioning. I run out of things to say and the conversation just doesn't flow. I put way too much pressure on myself and it is extremely difficult to break out of it.
But if I speak to girls I am not interested in, then I am more myself. No pressure, not trying hard.
Stop talking to women as if you're trying to get into their underwear. Speak to them like someone you want to be friends with and if there's interest both ways something might happen and it might not happen and that's OK because you made a friend.
Dude has anxiety and you're talking to him like he's purposefully being a jerk. Not cool.
No I'm not, I'm talking to them like they're so anxious because they're trying to get laid rather than trying to get to know someone.
As a former young man I have also been exactly where the commenter has been and when I stopped looking at women as something to conquer rather than a human being, things started happening for me.
So you're making an assumption about him AND ignoring the anxiety issue. That's totally cool, then. Everyone is just like you, ya know. Everyone.
