Last night I went on IRC for a bit. To practice my C &F. I actually wished I'd saved the transcript now, but I didn't. Got the chick to give me her picture and she looks pretty fine. She's also studyin' at a uni near me.
Anyway, I used C & F like I never thought was possible. Towards the end of our chat she's like "You're freaking hilarious" and she gave me her number. I will probablly organise to meet her with a friends at a club or something.
I tell you it's good practice, don't care what others say. You can work on your sense of humour - and if you can type fast, you're sense of timing.
I didn't intend to pick up women, just wanted to practice. It helps you see what's funny/isn't funny. I just happend to meet a chick who has a life.
There's a lot of retards on IRC, and it is boring. But now and then you meet a cool chick to practice on.
It won't give you courage with women, I agree. But if you already have courage to phone a woman, and organise a date. Then that's all the courage you need.
