>>21232413I don't have any social skills. I don't know what those are.
What you have is anxiety. But newsflash, everyone has anxiety talking to someone they're attracted to, girls included.
My advice is quite literally not to give a fuck and just talk about what you know. Like one of the girls I made out with after the date I mostly just talked about cartoons. I also asked her some questions (where do you live, what do you do) and tried to interject with some anecdote (oh you study law? I have friend who studies law....). I figured that as long as you sound relaxed and playful mostly anything will do. It's hard at first but if you manage to break through that initial awkwardness it becomes quite easy. I'm no expert at it by any means, but I figure most people aren't as well. That's why they drink, to loosen their inhibitions up a bit. I don't drink so it was harder for me, but I just try to talk to them as if I would a friend.
I also don't compliment much, if any. One thing I thought up was asking to see their nails or rings mid date and rub their hands to see if they reciprocate. Women are very on guard, but generally they're not as judgemental as they'd like to come across as. They're far more loose then you or I think they are.
What you're calling social skills to me doesn't exist. What exists is anxiety and that's just a fact of life, that's always gonna be there.
If you still wanna try tinder and shit, my advice would be to take your absolute best pictures, like 3 is fine. Doesn't need to be sexy, just try and find pictures where you seem to be having fun, or look focused, or whatever. The trick is to make it look natural.
All the bullshit you have in your head about women I swear to you most women have in their own heads, but times 5. Women are not confident creatures at all, even the really hot ones. Maybe even especially the really hot ones.
