The Beginning

I was a 27 year old male virgin and it was time for me to get laid. This was back in 2002. I had never had a girlfriend, although there were clearly a few instances looking back, where girls showed interest in me. I just never clued in, or rather cashed in. Fear. Nervousness. Perhaps both. It was somewhat of a catch-22 because to make an effort to "pop my cherry" I had to acknowledge my inexperience to the girl which carried some shame with it. And figuring it was better to wait for the opportune time rather then risk shame I delayed a process that was 27 years in the making. The situation reminded me of this guy I knew in university who appeared to not know my name for the four years we were in class together. He never said "Hi Jakob". It was always, "Hey, how's it going" or something similar. But he never called me by name. I thought of asking once if he knew it (I knew his of course) but by that time years had already passed so I let it slide.

But I wasn't going to let my virginity slide any longer. My mind was made up and I was going to get laid, no matter what it took. How hard could it be right? Thing is, at that time I was clueless so it was very hard indeed. And where does one get good information on something so basic? Friends and family couldn't help much. The common response was always something along the lines of "It'll just happen". Yeah right. I had to make it happen. However, if I only knew then what I know now. But I'll get into that. I'll write from my perspective back then and progress to the person I am today. As it turns out there's a sea of difference between the two.

With some online searching I stumbled across an online seduction community (forum) that explained systematically how to get laid. According to the community, getting laid regularly is all about using a system of techniques to get girls to sleep with you, techniques learned by trial and error (mostly error) by other guys, and shared with community members. So like a true student of the "pick-up" arts I soaked it up.
