Finally some good advice. But lol the reason I practice is just for that, to practice talking to women. And yeah, that's what I try to do. My biggest problem is when I have an oppurtunity to go for the kiss, I'm scared to take it. But yeah, I just have to lead and not care if the kiss doesn't go great. I got to be a man and lead the interaction.
And if a girl lived on campus, theoretically that would make it super easy to get laid if she didn't have any classes. "Hey, I've had a lot of fun with you, we should go chill at your place".
"We're about to see the worlds first restraining order close" and bragging about how much better you are than someone aint criticism. It's pure hatred. Criticism atleast has the intent of trying to help someone improve. But no, it's not criticism, it's pure hate.
You've just provided the solution to your problems.
When you're interacting, go in for the kiss. It's not going to work out perfectly when you're first doing it, but you'll learn how to calibrate as you close more and more. If you don't step out of your comfort zone, you won't get anywhere.
Realize that college is a hypersexualized place. For the most part, there are few obligations (class, some people have work), but few bills to pay. If you live in the dorms, you're around 300 other horny 19 year olds. Girls aren't going to wait for you to muster the courage to close them. While you're hesitating or telling us about your Outing Reports, they're getting banged by guys to grabbed their sacks and said, "I want that poon."
You've been on here long enough to know the buying signals. Go out around campus, find some chicks, look for the IOIs, then go for the close. Kiss them, bring them back to your place, go to theirs, get their numbers, w/e. Just make it happen.
One problem I see with your philosophy, elstud, is that you don't keep things in perspective.
You're on this site to get laid. As "desperate" and "AFC" as it sounds, that's what brought you here: being unsatisfied with your skills with women. You should act in a way that helps you realize those goals. Practicing opening women is necessary, but ultimately an extremely small step towards getting laid.
You can be absolutely fearless in opening (which I get the impression you are), but if you then have nothing to talk about, or you engage her minimally, or you're too friendly and not sexual, your amazing opening skills are useless.
So stop focusing so much on the little things like trying to be disaffected, or trying to open Xsets. Instead, try to get laid. You'll notice things you're weak at along the way, and then you can change it. However, approaching 10 sets at college just to tell yourself you can do it is useless. You should approach those 10 sets so you can get 10 closes.
Stay focused.
