HOW DID I END UP HERE??

Hey guys

Dont worry about the title figured it'd attract more attention than "Hi im new"

i just wanted to introduce myself and say a few things about where im coming from.

First of all im a rAFC. I am a good looking guy, I have some success with women, but not ANYWHERE near where I want to be. As a freshman in College i have had sex one time (have a great story bout it though, happened at work may tell it sometime) in my life, and thats not where I want to be right now, but I accept the facts and am looking forward to improving.

A few things about myself
- I am a college student
- I have never had a legit relationship
- I am okay, though not where I want to be, in my interactions with women. I can tell when i have them and I am doing well (I am good at push-pull style flirting). but i find my trouble is pulling the trigger and Escalating(Whether that be Kino, or making my intentions known)
- I am of middle eastern decent and consequently was raised to be shy around women, it took me a long time (my family has been in the united states 13 years) to overcome that stigma as far as I have, but renmants of it still remain.
- I dont see myself as having confidence issues, I BELIEVE ive got a good personalty, but I need to come off as less aloof, and need to be able to pull the trigger more often.
- I am decent at kino, but of course theres room for improvement
- Because of my looks and initial attitude I feel women are more drawn to me, but because I am inexperienced I show my AFC side soon and get categorized as a friend.

My main sticking points as I see them are
- Approaching cold
- Inexperience
- trouble openning up
- Slowness pulling the trigger
- Making my intentions known (I think there was an acronym for that, but ive lost track lol... SOI??)
- fear of failure in front of a crowd


Lol, this came out pretty long, but thats what I hope is an accurate description of my situation.
What i really would like is some drills (Ive taken the nooby challenge and LOVED it, any more like that??) that I can do to gain confidence and experience in this aspect of my life

Thanks in advance

Welcome dude. don't worry too much, we're here for the same reasons, to become the best version of ourselves. We are like a family here, so be proud of it because few men fail to recognize that they need to improve their social skills.
