1: Get into the right mental state. Relax about this stuff, it really doesn't matter. If you're anxious and desperate, girls will be able to tell. You gotta chill, read up on mindfulness and it should make you feel more content. Be cool with who you are and make improvements on the way. After this, you can move to step 2

2: Be social. Get facebook, snapchat, instagram. Invest in a used iPhone, most girls have them and you can iMessage etc. Get a cheap one, even the iPhone 5 is still good. Make friends at uni and go out with them. Once you have good solid friends, it'll be much easier. The more you talk to people, the easier it is to talk to people. Get friends' numbers, facebooks, snapchats. One thing tho - don't make friends at uni just to step stone to getting with their girl mates - make friends to make friends. Sounds hippie as fuck but it's about the process, not the end goal.

3: Just do your best in the gym. Bulk up, cut down, but you can't really speed up the process. Girls don't care too much anyway man. Dressing well and having game/being able to talk to them properly goes so much further than a muscular body. Skelly dudes with charisma get more than awkward bodybuilders who can't talk to girls.

4: Tinder. Get some good pictures taken and give it a shot. Set up dates and just go meet em. Who gives a fuck if you don't do shit right, it can count as practice.

I was like you like mid 2016, man. Girlfriend and I of 5 years (I'm 21) broke up, I had no social media and no idea how to talk to girls. I was unhappy. Started meditating to become happy with who I was, live in the moment, and not worry about what I can't change but still improve etc., started going out more, talking to girls in the queue to the bars, y'know, just shooting the shit. Went out alone a few times. Since then I've had dates and had sex. It'll come, give it time. Enjoy life, man, watch the sunrise, go walk in the woods, go travelling by yourself or something, just enjoy it
