Hi Everyone

[H_Raja]

I just moved into the Dallas area to go to school at UTA, I'm 22 working towards a masters. At the beginning of 2006, I weighed in at 240lbs (I'm 5'10), by the end of 2006 I was 185. Over the last couple of months, girls started to notice me. Before I thought I stood no chance with women due to my weight, but then as soon as I started getting checked out it hit me that girls were interested in me and that I knew nothing about what to say or do around women.

I was brought up in a very conservative family from south India where the norm is to go and get an arranged marriage, and even talking to girls is frowned upon. So I grew up with zero social skills around women, and approach anxiet bordering on the fear of death. I've only been on 3 dates in my life.

I recently purchased the book Art of Approaching and am starting to do the bootcamp in there (which consists of doing about 20 approaches a week). I tend to do okay after the approach, but I am struggling to pull dates and numbers. I hope to learn more from everyone here and share my experiences step by step here.

I'm no expert by any means, but we should sarge sometime, I've always had a thing for Indian girls. you could probably help me out there, I'm in arlington a lot

Thanks for the welcome! I will keep posting my bootcamp experiences for each week.
I wish I could say what to do with Indian girls, but from what I have observed almost all meet their boyfriends through social circles. Social circles of which I am unable to penetrate well. But there are a crapload of Indians here on the UTA campus.
One idea I had was if I had a weekday free, is to go visit one of many college campuses in the Dallas area and sarge there just for practice sake. I tried it at Mountainview, UTD, SMU, and El Centro.
