"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

First off, HI :)
Second, real big wakeup call today.
I’ve realised that there are things in my life that I’d wish to improve upon.
It’s time I took some action, I’ve been lurking a while and have read some solid material on here. It’s the right moment I started on my self-improvement
OK, so a little about me.
18
5ft 9”
Roughly 120 pounds (pretty damn skinny)
Mediocre Fashion Sense
Average achieving student, potential to be better
I like my sports, particularly football, play 5 a side twice a week (albeit as a dads and lads thing)
Very few close friends, if I go out it will be with them.
0 action ever.
Looking at that tiny list I notice something has to be done. Any ideas where to start first?
Thanks.
Gunner
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Yea Arsenal all the way :)
Thanks for the links they seem real useful, i've been wanting to bulk up a bit for a while to help with my fitness and so i can compete more when i take up 11 a side at the start of next season.
For school, simply not revising enough/ half assed effort. Never really spent a while thinking about what i want to do when i finish school except go to uni which i realise shouldn't be my main means of motivation.
As i said i'm definantly intending to join a football club, i used to play but had to stop for a while through injury, and asthma. Really want to get back into it though so looknig for a next season start.
I've been trying expand my social circle, and it's working a bit got some different people i hang out with during school, but never outside which bugs me a bit. Partying and clubing is big in my area, problem is i live pretty far away from most other people and the clubs they go to are like a 40 minute drive away. And i talk to girls im comfortable with, mainly HB6 or lower but i'm determined to push my comfort zone and try and sort this out.
I haven't been able to watch Blueprint yet but i'll look into downloading it or something.
and thanks for the help

My biggest advice that triumphs pretty much any video or piece of advice you'll find on the net is find people who make you automatically say "Damn this guy has his head on straight and knows what's up with school, women ..etc. etc." and befriend them. My uncle always told me "tell me with who you group yourself with and I'll tell you who you are". There's a reason he's a self-made millionaire, holds a PhD, gets called on by the FBI for work, entrepreneur, has a gorgeous wife and a personality that wins over every person with ease; he always surrounded himself with people who held great qualities.
