This is my first post on here, I have finally gotten to a point where I just don't understand why I'm not getting laid and/or girls in general. I feel like I'm doing everything right... I have read countless articles on Girls Chase, listened to the whole Spellbound series multiple times (which has excellent advice BTW), feel like I have made progress but still fail to get laid time and time again... I think I'm a decent looking guy and in decent shape, I get called "cute" fairly often. I have a good job, a nice house, etc... And after a lot of trial and error, reading, and time, I've realized/learned that what I do to better my "value" has little impact on my success with women. I've almost completely stopped talking about myself (or giving much information about myself at all for that matter). I do a lot of "people watching" and think I have a pretty good handle on reading signs/signals from women, but still just can't seem to close ANYTHING.
A little bit about myself:
28 years old, 190 lbs, 5' 10", Caucasian
Was with 12 girls before getting married, married for 7 years, one girl post-divorce (visiting my home town), and one "call" girl that I'm not very proud of...
Found out (almost a year ago now) my ex-wife had two affairs during our marriage, divorce was finalized about 4 months ago...
Live in a suburb of a very big city (lots of competition)
Moved here about 6 years ago but was consumed by my ex so don't have many (any?) social circles here.. most people I know are married and I go out alone a lot
Have had around 5-10 "love" interests (more than a quick conversation) since maybe 5-6 months ago (has never ended up the way I would've liked)
Have a lot of anxiety (especially approach anxiety) in general, have lost a lot of self-confidence since the failed marriage, see a counselor once every two weeks, and take SSRI's
I have no clue how to dance so clubs are typically an automatic fail
My biggest issue is that I feel like I am doing everything RIGHT but still fail to close ALL the time. I just don't get it... I'm sure that part of my issue is too much emotion, another big one is that I know I'm very "boring" but can seem to hold a decent conversation most the time. Most of the time I get initial interest but then it expires before anything good happens.
Any advice/feedback would REALLY be appreciated!
