Stop trying to 'hack' it - people you meet can tell if you're just trying to get sex rather than having any interest in them personally. People are not APIs. Someone trying to manipulate another person into sex is just as annoying as someone trying to get money out of you on the street.
Just hang out with women on the basis of them being people and when you meet someone interesting express your feelings simply and spontaneously eg 'I like you.' don't look for anything in particular in return. If the person it attracted to you then matters will take care of themselves.
Forget about the PUA thing. If you're that desperate to get laid, then just hire a hooker. But if you want to have any kind of relationship, then there's no point in trying to force it. The confidence you're talking about above is not confidence that you can get laid at the drop of a hat, but the confidence to go about and do things without obsessing over the question of whether you're going to get laid on any given night.
