[highschoolpua]

hey guys, i've decided that i'm going to be switching schools at the end of the first semester. ill be switching to a hs where all my old middle school buddies went too, however i have obv. changed a bit since PUA... so i'm just wondering how it'll work out cuz they know me as a nice guy and i'll be gaming girls in the hall way and stuff... also need advice on coming in while the year has already started

Duude!! That's similar to what I'm in.
I went to elementary school with some kids, but I moved to a different city until the end of first semester of freshmen year.
Then I moved back for 2nd semester, but I barely knew anyone!! I met up with a few friends, but I felt soo uncomfortable and out of place because middle school made me an insecure nerd.

Since you have the average confidence of a high school student, you should be fine if you keep a confident personality and socialize right away instead of "just waiting around for your friends."
They have very different lives now, don't expect too much out of them besides an introduction to others.

Just remember that people WILL judge you. Come off as the talkative chick magnet from the start and you can start over again.

I haven't seen them in a year right now (last was 8th grade, now sophmore year), does that mean they wont wanna talk to me and be my friends again tho?

Im sure they will want to be your friends but like Grape said, you have to be the one socializing. If you just expect them to come to you, you are not gonna do near as well. You be the one to talk to people and im sure some of your old friends will help you out a bit. Just be the cool guy that you are.

Good luck man!

If you all had a good connection then, you should be fine. I just moved back to Orlando (I moved away 4 years ago) and my best friend lives here and so far its been pretty good. In fact a lot of the girls I've been talking to at school are friends with some of the people I was good friends with awhile ago.

You simply mean that I have to be the one to go up to them and be like what's up/whats new/etc. not sit there in a corner waiting for them to bum rush me right

exactly! I mean... im sure some of your old buds will come to you and maybe even some other people. But to really get going, youve gotta be the one to initiate.

I switched schools this year...

Tell you the truth I HATE school.

So.... to me, its just a connection to meeting people.

Heres my views...and what I did.

I was told by MANY : "Your the new kid. You can create who you are, who you want to be"

To be honest, I tried, and most the time I'm who I want to be, but sometimes, Im not.


A thing I noticed...I used to hang out with all guys at my old school...I was obnoxious, I'd through shit at people, you know...a douche.

Now I hang out with all girls, and...
1. I understand women alot more
2. I get/give tips on fashion/sex/relationships
3. Im not obnoxious. For some reason, guys make you obnoxious.... Now I have a few guy friends, two. One is this mellow ass black dude... one is this nerd mexican. Im white, so it shows, no matter what background, it shouldn't stop you.

But the thing I noticed is the Nerd....we beatbox alot.... like unce unce unce unce unce unce ..unce unce...alot....and im obnoxious when im around him.
So.... just be who you want to be.


Work on it, when your old friends ask wtf happened... simply say

"I've matured" and kinda give off an IOD.... Thats what I've done.


And if I were ever to go back to my old school, I wouldnt hang out with the same people as before. I'd hang out with more girls.... and It would be different.



So remember....be who you want to be, it can happen.
