Kanye being a deranged anti-semite? Perish the thought

Maybe you're setting the bar too high for yourself? Try and take things as they come rather than make everything out to be like it has to be a success. The hot cup of coffee in the morning, the warm water from the shower, the fresh air breathing into your lungs - sometimes it's the simplest of things that make us come alive again.

Been putting myself out there more: nearly 30 myself and never dated so I felt like I had some catching up to do. I'd say my game's alright but I'd like to try for something more committal and serious rather than just pulling and one night stands.

@SpiralAgreed, only really one night stands or some brief fling in the club during night game @CARDOZZO Yes! That's the goal. I did an approach earlier today that I felt I kinda messed up. It was in a comic book/manga store. I approached the girl while she was looking at some figurines in a display case. I commented on how some of them get crazy expensive and she laughed and agreed. I noticed she had a bubble tea drink in her hand so I asked if it was manga flavor she was drinking. She said it was and showed it to me. I told her a little funny story about the only time I ordered some bubble tea and the guy didn't cut the mango slice so I had to practically blend it up with my flimsy little straw, and she laughed before saying "well the more the better". I told her my name at that point, and she told me hers. I asked some more about what sorta anime/manga she was into and we were exchanging the same shows and stuff we were into, but then after that she went back to browsing on her own and I didn't wanna push it further. I think the mistake was I didn't close. After she told me her name I should've just asked her for her number or IG to set up a date later. At least I'll know for next time.

Take care!

It wouldn't be as bad if they at least had some decent R&R. Their population is currently like an upside down pyramid; everybody's working and not going out much. I think their government are lowkey shitting themselves that not enough of their young population are mingling and having sex with each other.

Their work culture is quite draconian. They have an unwritten rule in the workplace where you're not allowed to leave before your superior does. So good luck if they choose to work overtime.

This may help if you get nervous with girls

You could start with some low-pressure interactions. Comment on a girl's shirt or hat as you pass her by. Or talk to a girl next to you in line while you're waiting for your coffee. Remember you can do this to guys as well. I speak to girls pretty much the same way I speak to my male friends. It's up to you how often you wanna go out, just don't make yourself restless. As for approaching on the busy streets or shopping areas, it's mostly trial and error. I've done it before and got nothing from it and other times me and the girl ended up having a solid 10 minute conversation. What matters is you get used to doing it enough times and you'll find yourself coming out of your head and making things happen.

Happy holidays ya'll Don't get alien abducted

"Hear that?" *listens in, fart* Gottem

This definitely goes a long way. People returning the eye contact and a smile is all you need to feel seen.

Little update - it's important to take it easy and not try too hard to make anything happen. At the start of this I noticed myself being quite restless and going out almost every day forcing interactions. It wore me out physically just from all the walking around the city. Just do it once a week or something.

Your mind is often your worst enemy when doing approaches. Just approach her - don't think about what to say. Something basic to open could be like "are you enjoying the dancing so far?" or "hey, how's it going?"

I never had issues with fluoride personally. I use Sensodyne.
