You are right. At this point of time, most chronic diseases are deemed "incurable" from a modern medicine standpoint. However, in my estimate - this will change in the next 10-50 years. 

If you find yourself with such condition at this moment, find a doctor who thinks integrally, acts couragiously, has deep understanding of both evidence based & alternative medicine models (or at least the best one available) and is willing to put in the work. Also, become an expert of your disease. Read everything about it, experiment with yoruself, look what makes your symtpoms worse/better - thats the primary trait I can see in people who are able to reverse their chronic ailments.

Frame control is like 50% of verbal game.

What is she gonna ask?
"Are you a virgin?"
or, "How many girls have you slept with?"
Girls don't ask such questions. And if a girl ever asks you how many girls you've slept with, you say something like, "669".
YOU are the man, YOU control the frame.

Of course girls will have sex with them if given the opportunity.
When you give a girl no other way to decide but based on looks, of course she will pick the best looking guy she can find.
But girls are not walking around hunting down the best looking guys to sleep with. That's not how girls get attracted in real life.

If you were 100% detached there would be no need for the relationship.
The point is not get attached in unhealthy, toxic, or dysfunctional ways.
If your cat of 15 years die, obviously you will be sad about it. This is normal. Experience the sadness consciously and use it as part of your spiritual work.
There is no such thing as "achieving emotional mastery". You just get a little better at handling and feeling emotions.
This is a complex question which I can't really go into here.

It doesn't really matter where your date is. You could make any location work if you got some game. Of course some locations are more optimal logistically and more enjoyable, but you could do a date at Walmart. It doesn't matter.
Personally I enjoy nice outdoor shopping malls with some scenery to look at. Window shopping together makes for a great date. I like these places because they tend to have a lot of variety and everything you could want: drinks, coffee, food, window shopping, park areas, trees, ponds, benches, ice cream, cookies, people-watching, etc.
You could do a date at Ikea. Be creative. And also, go places you actually enjoy.

I don't do bar dates usually. I prefer coffee dates. But if I have no other option but a bar date I would just order a club soda.
Actually, I don't drink coffee either. So again, "coffee date" is just a convenient excuse to meet up. What you drink or not drink is irrelevant.

1) Develop passion, via LP
2) Develop a Love for life, via spirirual awakening to Love
3) Develop charisma
4) Expose yourself to massive experience in socialization
5) Set the intention to become charismatic, passionate, and humorous no matter what, even if you don't know how.
Humor is an attitude more than a technique. Same with passion.

Drinks are fine, but you need to have drinks in a location where you can bounce around to multiple venues. My fave 1st date location is an outdoor shopping mall area, with cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, ice cream, park with trees and benches, scenery, etc.
Then you bounce around between those. Try to do more walking than sitting in a booth. Walking lets you escalate easier.
As far as conversation goes, you're just being too logical and boring. The core of game is learning emotional, nonlogical ways of talking to girls.
Also, if you are not sexually attracted to her you shouldn't be dating her. Follow your dick on this. Stop setting up dates with girls you wouldn't sleep with. This is a waste of your and her time.
Law Of State Transference: whatever you feel she will feel. If you don't feel excited neither will she. You need to be sexually excited by her. Then ride this excitement to bed.

When it comes to physical escalation you must read her face and reaction when you touch her. If she bristles or subtly avoids your touch, then you immediately pull back, and even push her away a bit. Physical escalation should never be something the woman bristles at. You can easily tell this just by observing her face whenever you touch her.
Example:
When I pulled that Instagram model, I tried to lead her to my car by simply taking and holding her hand. The most mild physical escalation possible. She pulled her hand away and refused to hold hands. I immediately pulled my hand away, played it cool, and just walk with her to my car. Then drove her home. Sometimes a girl will refuse to hold your hand but she will come home with you and let you fuck her. All game must be calibrated to the girl. If she bristles, pull back but lead forward as if nothing happened. It's on until she tells you to go away.
Nothing is gained by forcing your touch on a woman who bristles at it. Only increase touch if she likes it or doesn't resist.
If she is resisting your game and you keep running the same game, you're making a mistake. Adjust your game to suit her.

You are not appreciating the depth at which the game is played.
Girls aren't doing it consciously or on purpose. The game is baked into their entire attitude and how their mind runs. It's not something they are aware of or even know they are doing. But they are doing it. They will deny they are doing anything. Conservative girls will play even more games as they need to try extra hard not to appear slutty to themselves and others.
She didn't show up to your date because she has no investment in you. And that is her game. And now she's acting as if making out with you was something friendly. And so it goes. This is par for the course. Which is why you train yourself to ignore her nonsense and proceed to solid logistics for a meetup. Don't get too cute over text. Use text to get her out on a date. And use text to make sure she shows up. Keep it simple and practical.
Whether or not she sleeps with you on this date is irrelevant. You run your game the same regardless. See how far you can get. Conservative girls are often the sluttiest.
The overall point is: don't let girls' antics derail your path. You keep doing you. Girls will keep being girls -- doing silly, flakey, and scatter-brained things.

Pickup lines are meaningless. Pickup lines will not get you laid, don't waste your time on them.

For exactly the same reason you treat fat ugly girls as trash.
People are selfish and only respond to those who serve their survival agenda.
A nice guy does not serve the survival agenda of hot women. Women don't need a second pussy.
Rather than blaming women, stop being a pussy.

When women get turned on by male stripper shows, it's not just the body. It's the emotional state the entire show puts her in. When girls go to male strip shows it's usually a pack of girls and they all drink and dance and get have fun together. This pumps up their state and then they get horny from that and want dick.
Pumping up her emotional state is the magic key. No woman will ever fuck you logically. If you cannot get her out of logic-mode, she will say No.

Haha
Women are not sexually aroused in the same way as guys. They are not aroused by visuals alone. They are attracted to powerful personality and presence and leadership. They are attracted when the guy is good at pumping up her emotional state and making her feel like a girl. Women are emotional creatures. A photo of the biggest dick in the world will not make her excited. You must pump up her emotional state first. The silent James Bond approach will not get you laid. You must be chatty, playful, and extroverted. You need to play with her.
Your looks are a great advantage -- they get your foot in the door -- but getting your foot in the door is NOT closing. Learning to close makes or breaks your whole lay count. If you are good-looking but have no clue how to close, you'll get laid less then ugly guys who know how to close.
Right now it's like you own a Ferrari but have no clue how to drive. The Ferrari is a fast car that will beat a Toyota, but if I know how to drive my Toyota and you have no clue how to drive your Ferrari, I will beat you every time.
If you want to understand what turns on women, go to Walmart and buy a romance novel. Read it. That's is porn for women. Women are turned on mentally, not visually.
Also... attraction is also not seduction. You can get attraction pretty easy but then you must lay on the seduction until she's horny. A women does not get horny instantly like a guy. You need to guide her into it and manage all the logistics so sex can happen. You absolutely cannot count on women to handle the logistics. Learning to handle logistics like a champ is the #1 key to getting laid consistently.
It's the logistics, stupid
All game boils down to two things: playful leading. Everything else is an unpacking of those two things. If you can't be playful and you can't lead, your game sucks, and so your chances of getting laid become extremely low.

Of course it works.
Don't ask women if they want to be approached. No woman will ever admit that she would sleep with a guy from a cold approach because that would make her look like a slut. But she will if you attract her. Just do a quality approach.
Attraction is not a logical choice. Never ask women if they would logically date you. The answer will always be No.
Day game is the best. The only trick is that you need a location with lots of beautiful women. That's hard to find in most cities. You need a big city. Cities like LA, NYC, and London are amazing for day game. You need a place with cafes, malls, boardwalks, beaches, busy sidewalks, college campuses, etc.
I like day game because the approaches can be a lot more genuine and natural. And there's zero competition.

I far prefer direct. But getting good at indirect is actually more effective in more situations.
It's really effective to start indirect and then convert that into direct, because it is less threatening.

You can just explicitly hit on girls as long as you're in a location where it is socially acceptable. For example, you can just say, "Omg, you are sexy as fuck, girl." But you have to say it in a non-needy and matter-of-fact way, and you cannot just leave it there to hang, you must splice it into the middle of a conversation and quickly move on with the rest of the conversation. You must say it as an aside.
Like you could be talking to her about her dogs, and in the middle of that you put your hand on her shoulder and say, "Omg, you are sexy as fuck, girl", and continue talking about her dogs as though you didn't even just hit on her. This requires some tact and skill to pull off, but it works really well once you master it. This skill lets you turn social interactions into romantic ones while still maintaining an air of "just being social".
Really, the most effective way to get girls is using the "just being social" method, but sprinkling in intent and flirtation. This way you slip past the defenses and you can even do it in front of her friends without triggering their defenses. You can even do this in front of her mom and it will work. The "just being social" frame buys you A LOT of leeway and good will. The trick here is to not fall into the friendzone. So you have to maintain sexual intent without being explicit about it.

The upside of rolling solo is that you grow very fast, as long as you're able to do approaches. If you're going out solo and you're so scared that you don't even approach, then you're not ready for that yet. You need a wingman/friend.
@Brenzo2 You mean you're in a relationship but you want to build your pickup skills at the same time? That's hard. In practice, once you get in a comfortable relationship your pickup skills will suffer. There's a trade-off.
@Joel3102 Yes, it certainly is, but it's going to take much more work than you imagine at the outset. But the upside is that it will also be much more rewarding (in terms of growth) than you imagine. To really get good at pickup you need to hit it hardcore for a couple of years, approaching 5000+ people. You need to take it very seriously. A half-assed attitude will not work here. You basically need to rewire and retrain much of your mind. Attraction is extremely counter-intuitive. It will shock you. You'll be in for some rude awakening. It will be emotionally difficult. But it will grow you like crazy. If you do it, don't do it for the sex, do it for the stronger man it makes you. It can also be very fun and exciting compared to sitting at home and playing Fortnite. Doing pickup hardcore makes you feel ALIVE! It makes you feel like a hero on his journey towards manhood.
I highly recommend handling this part of your life. Just don't be a douche, don't hurt women, and don't develop an ideology or identity around it.
If you want to get serious about learning this skill set, you must bite the bullet and move to a large city with great nightlife and lots of hot girls. LA, NYC, Chicago, Miami, Austin, Vegas, London, etc. It's very worth it. Don't be trying to learn pickup in some redneck part of the world. You need volume to practice on. If you're not willing to relocate, you're not very serious about it.
But at the same time, don't make excuses if you can't relocate immediately. Begin wherever you're at and make plan to upgrade your situation.
Pickup is not just about attracting girls. Pickup is about upgrading your entire lifestyle. It's about better nutrition, better fitness, better apartment, better decor, better cloths, better haircut, better friends, better car, better everything. Transform yourself into an attractive fucking man with an awesome life such that a woman would be itching to be around you. Shed your old childish ways. Become awesome. When you become a truly awesome, valuable man, guys and girls will flock to be around you. This is not some gimmick. You are actually becoming awesome. It's a total makeover.
But also don't get lost in it. Return to spirituality once you've completed that phase of your life.
P.S. There are always limits to everything a human does. Don't let that stop you from being awesome. You don't need to sleep with 100 girls. You don't need to become the Michael Jordan of pickup. You just need to become decent and score a few girlfriends. Which basically any guy can do.

Classic newbie mistake.
Your own mind will trick you like that and get you to believe that having fun with your friend is accomplishing something. It isn't. Fun is fun. But it's not enough to get you the skill set you want.
You must force yourself to approach 10-20 sets each night. No excuses. It's best to start approaching immediately upon walking into the club. The first girl you see, you approach.
Which is why when you get a bit more experience and comfort, you should hit the clubs solo. Solo you can really do some damage in the club. Hanging to your friends too tightly will not allow you to get laid. You must be ready to break off from your friend to approach girls, and bounce them to new locations. It is not enough to just approach a girl and stand with her in the same spot the entire night. Once she's attracted to you, you've got to bounce her as much as possible around the place and then outside the place to other places and ultimately to your apartment. Pickup does not work without leading and bouncing.
Solo is highly efficient. But it's emotionally hard, because when you're out of set you feel very alone.

450 cold approaches to get my first lay.
But keep in mind: 1) I sucked hard, 2) most of these approaches were short 20-60 second interactions, not 30 minute long sets, 3) your numbers will improve a lot after the first year of failure.
Keep in mind this is a sample size of 1. My brother got a girlfriend from his 1st cold approach! So it's rather random. You never know when luck will strike.

Single is always easiest. But single women are rare.
Groups of 2-3 requires more confidence and skill. But they are more common. During the daytime I would only approach single unless you got a wing. During the nighttime at clubs and bars you can approach sets, although realistically you need a wing to do that effectively. The logistics of it are just awful. Not easy to pry a girl away from her friends. Especially a 2-set. It's actually easier to hit on large groups of 5+ where you can pry her away without the rest noticing.

Mostly 4 things:
1) Keeps you company, keeps your motivation up
2) Gives you advice from his base of deep experience
3) Demonstrates how to do proper pickup
4) Helps you pull 2-sets where the other girl needs a guy. It's basically impossible to pull a 2-set without a wing.
Yes
That's classic three-some game.

You have train yourself to not be logical with women.
The words coming out of your mouth should not conform to any kind of logic or make much sense.
Basically, be stupid and fun.
It requires lots of practice, so stop sitting around and hit the field.

It doesn't have to be fake.
And it works amazing.
True game is indistinguishable from reality. Which is why it works. If it's fake it isn't good game.
The things I'm talking about will make a woman fall in love deeper than she's ever been before with "real" guys. "Real" guys are lame and don't give good love. You're not gonna great love from the typical lame ass guy. The stuff I'm talking about will make a guy more addictive to women than meth. Because it gives her the deep emotions and value she craves that no normal guy can give her.
Understanding how the deeply satisfy a woman requires the work of a master. Almost no guy is willing to put in the work.
