Hi!
Let me start of by being honest. I’m not exactly convinced. Sure, there are plenty of positive comments here, but I’ve been scammed many times. Every since I was in high school I’ve had problems meeting (attracting) women. It’s my fault. I’m not ugly by any stretch, in fact I am told the opposite plenty enough to agree by now. My problem is “approach anxiety”. I just can’t approach women. So, how do you “hook up” if you can’t even say hello? You can’t. Well, that’s unless you’re lucky enough to meet women who are the aggressors. That’s rare. So, although I’m not a virgin, I think I’d be one if I hadn’t met some firestarters when I was younger. Now, I’m not shy, quite the opposite. Once I know a woman, I’m able to talk to her easily. This usually means we’re in the “friend zone” though. My second problem with getting laid… yeah, as if it wasn’t already bad enough… is that I don’t read signs and I’m really not good at knowing when to “make moves”. So, sealing the deal has been tough. Old Example: my high school prom date told everyone in my group that she wanted me to kiss her (remember this is how it’s done when you’re in high school – remember passing notes?) – and of course, they all told me. You’d think it would be a piece of cake at that point… but, I stalled and stalled and basically talked myself out of it. She was lucky to get a hug good night. It gets worse. She wasn’t from my city, so for graduation, my mom gave me the gift of sending me to visit and stay for her for a weekend. Her parents were cool with it. The entire visit was lame – again, my fault. We went to the movies… we should have been making out… we watched the movie – I didn’t know better. We even ended up sleeping on her family room floor next to each other (I think her parents could smell the innocence/virginity in me). Nothing happened. No surprise, when I got home after the trip, she refused to speak to me ever again. Not exactly a confidence booster. But, it’s just me being me. I really wish I didn’t have this problem, because I’m quite affection-hungry and I love sex (duh). But, and this is sad – because of my flaw, I haven’t had sex since October, 2005 (when I broke up with my last ex). Again, it’s not because I’m not attractive – it’s because I can’t talk to women, which means I don’t date. The rare couple of dates I have had led nowhere. And forget a one-night-stand – because not approaching/talking to women, coupled with not sealing the deal, spells NO SEX!
So, I’ve tried different routes (including all sorts of online dating and hook-up sites – all suck!)… I’ve bought sprays in the past that claimed to help… yeah, Axe & Tag of course, but stuff that claimed to be pheromones too. Nothing ever changed… which is to say, I never noticed any increase of the suggested reactions from women: friskiness, eye contact, smiles, approaching me (which would be huge!) – and I chalk it up to a scam of sorts… it seems like the stuff is more about increasing your self confidence than actually “doing” anything for you. I don’t care about my self confidence being high or low. I need blatant help getting over approach anxiety. I can’t read subtlety. If I were to see women actually show in-your-face type signs that they wanted ME – I think I might just get lucky once in a while.
So after another lonely Friday night watching an infomercial about these kinds of things, browsing and googling, I’ve somehow wandered in here. I’m skeptical, but I’m also unhappy about my current status quo. After reading things here, I was thinking about buying a full bottle of AMMUNITION for breaking the ice and a to go bottle of both TURN UP THE HEAT and INSTANT FEMALE MAGIC for on-the-spot increased help.
I’m not even going to ask if they work because I’m posting in a forum that is all about that. I’m going to assume they do until proven otherwise. Am I on the right track with these? I don’t need help succeeding at work or making “friends”. I need help getting women to notice me, show me that they are noticing me, maybe even possibly take matters into their own hands, and then basically would like to make the transition into an intimate setting easier.
Thanks for reading this. Thanks for any responses. Oh, and thanks a bunch for the gift certificate I will be using when I place my first order.
