Dating : Have you ever been out of the game?
Last year I ended a 1 year relationship because I had been lied to and decided to focus on my studies. But starting this summer I’m taking a sabbatical year to rethink what it is I actually wanna study so I thought that maybe I should try dating or whatnot. I then started with Tinder and man have I lost my game. In HS I was easily talking to several people without any difficulty (not cheating since I wasnt really together with anyone) but now I can’t even hold a conversation properly. What do you do when you’ve been out of the game and want to get back in?
For a variety of reasons, from about ages 20-22 I didn’t date at all. Eventually I decided I wanted some female companionship again. It was a rough start. I was a bit too awkward and a bit too eager. I couldn’t get a date.
Then for some reason I ended up rereading my old Conan the Barbarian stories by Robert E. Howard. I decided to be more Conan-like. Then it was like someone had flipped a switch. Girls liked me a lot. I got lots of dates. Actually I ended up with too many choices and things turned into a bit of soap opera at one point. But it mostly worked out in the end.
So basically, I recommend reading the original Conan the Barbarian stories by Robert E. Howard. Analyze why he is so awesome and why all the women love Conan. Then be like Conan.
