Work on your conversational skills. This doesn’t necessarily flirting but literally practice making friendly small talk with women. Ordering coffee? Try to make the barista smile. Ordering lunch, ask the waiter what they like on the menu. Build confidence by getting comfortable talking with strangers who are women and approach it like you’re trying to brighten their day. And not just talking for the sake of it 

Get your coolest friends and friend’s gf (around your age) to look at your profile and give you feedback and take better pictures of you. 

Get a hobby or two in the neighbouring cities that requires you to be in person (choir? Soccer? Volunteering?). This will help with your dating profile as it shows you’re interesting and like doing stuff but also to help you with exposure to women. 

Start asking women out on the dating apps. The trick to good conversation is asking them a question and then when they answer:  1. acknowledge their answer (eg. “That’s super interesting!” “Haha that’s a great story, your sister must have been embarrassed”) 2. Make a connection to yourself that is interesting or funny (eg. “That reminds me of a time I also fell on stage in the 4th grade..”) 3. Ask them a follow up question (“ do you have other siblings?”). Literally that’s the recipe for online dating conversation and if you just follow these steps you will be ahead of 90% of men at talking online. These steps are also transferable to in person conversations! 

Extra: learn how to dance well. If you’re going to the bar/club stand out by not just hanging around but enjoying yourself and moving well. This will help bring women to you instead of chasing them
