hello i am 23 years old. i will tell you my story. my family and I immigrated to Canada when i was 9 years old in 1996 from Argentina. My dad is a verbally abusive person. The fighting between my mom and dad kept happening even in Canada. The worst part was that i was put into ESL(English second language) but the class had kids with real disabilities such ass add,hypertension disorder.at 12 years old my mom found out that my dad had another family that he brought with him from Argentina. i moved to Manitoba in 2002 with my mom and finished high school even thought it took me an extra year. i have never really studied in my life, I have tried university and could not finish my first year and then i went to college and could not finish second year. Since i never learned how to ask a girl out and have no confidence in my self i looked to the internet where i meet many girls interested in me. I only talked to the once that where in my own province. I lost a lot of money this way. i am going to a therapist. My mom is also thinking of a law suit against the Ontario government for what they have done to me. please if there are any guys willing to help me learn how to pick up girls please help me.

Welcome tsp95,

I'm sorry to hear that your dad is abusive. Words can hurt a lot, and we can carry them around with us for a long time after they were said.

When you write that you want to know "how to pick up girls", what goal do you have in mind? Do you want to start a romantic relationship with a woman? Or are you after a purely sexual relationship?

You may find that working on your self-esteem is about the most useful thing you can do. Once you truly believe that you are worth knowing and spending time with, you will project a more positive and inviting image. This will make it easier for a woman to see you as a potential partner.
