I'm curious; what do I need to do?

[blah]

You're probably right. I could see myself as coming across needy in that I just kind of stand there and bullshit without conveying much more than the equation (guy + girl) and expecting her to extract the "fuck" from me. (huh...makes no sense to me, either..haha). I also suck at the "getting to know" piece. Does this happen during the first meet or through phone/text? My texting game is not good. I assume you're talking about real life, and not a club. I really have no experience, outside of second-hand accounts, and the whole thing looks like a foreign language from my perspective! I mean, I approach, I holler, but I don't really have any success to bank on.

And not to be dick, I don't really have the time to read books for leisure, let alone on game. I used to read Mark's blog back when he was Entropy blogspot. I had a pua period: the (lair) guys I rolled with were terrible with women and were genuinely angry/insecure people mostly interested in portraying the image in front of other guys. Too weird to incorporate them into my normal life or bring them around my friends. I could never wholly subscribe to those "systems." I also followed the practicalpickup when it launched, since it seemed like sound information from a credible..human, while everyone else was using abstracts and lying. To be honest, I'm quite sick of Mark (just kidding).

Thanks for the words, though.
