Went to my first pickup seminar..

[Dizaster]

First of all I hope this doesn't put me up the top of the rankings of the forums most gayest person..
Secondly, quite proud of myself for getting out of the house finally to do something other than go to work or buy groceries..

I'm on a local pickup forum for my city and they had this company coming to do a 3hour talk thing on confidence etc.. Was pretty good, it wasn't just sit and listen.. There were 4 instructors that worked with us in groups to practice shit.. One group showed us techniques to get into a good relaxed happy state.. Another taught us body language and how to touch a girl when you approach her..
Another taught flirting/role playing, and how to get through a girls cold bitch shield.. Last one taught how to actually approach and have the right energy and what to stay to them..

I learnt that i've got a long way to go.. I felt awkward talking to the girls and shit.. touching them was weird.. Not sure if it was the circumstances with everyone watching you do this drill, but I was not comfortable.. I guess being hulled up in a room with my girlfriend for 4 years without socializing will do that to you...
I'm not really learning to pick up chicks, but I want to be comfortable being able to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere.. And I don't got that yet..

Anyway, everyone clap and say you're proud... I was hesitating going like I do with everything that is stepping out of the comfort zone.. My girlfriend offered to come with me but I wanted to go on my own to get even more out of my comfort zone... So all done..
They got another seminar/talk from a different company next Monday so might go to that as well and hopefully get to know someone of the reguarl guys, or i'll take a friend this time so i'm not a total loner..
