This book has been written for one reason and one reason only - To fix a problem.
I still remember being 16-years old, standing in the corridor at my best friend's house party, watching the girl of my dreams - the girl I had pinned all my hopes on, the girl I thought was the answer to all my problems, the girl I would think about day and night and fantasise about how great our future would be together - follow my best mate into his bedroom with and close the door behind her.
And worse than that, I remember feeling completely powerless to do anything about it. I didn't know what to say or what to do or how to act or how to make her see me as more than just that nice guy who'll listen to her problems and make her pain go away.
I didn't know how to get her to look at me with those puppy dog eyes.
I didn't know how to get her to touch me in any other way than a polite hug when I felt sad.
And more importantly, I didn't know how to meet any other women so that I could stop relying on her to feel good.
Even the idea of approaching a woman I didn't know was enough to make me completely freeze up with anxiety, let alone actually doing it. And don't get me started on flirting or seduction.
The pain of standing in those bars and those house parties, wishing and hoping that something would change, was very real and very debilitating and has had very real long-term effects on my life...
This is why this book was written - No one should have to go through that
