    How long have you been sober?

    If you're doing this for the sole purpose of talking to girls, you're making a mistake. Ease of talking to girls is a benefit of being NoFap, not the reason to do it.
    If your main reason for quitting PMO is to talk to girls then when a rejection comes from one you really like happens, you are likely to quit and go back to your old bad habits.

    Change your goal be being a better person.

    I want to quit porn before I get married.

    I've been without for 54 days.

    That's awesome on both accounts but this is a journey and not a race. Unless you only PMO'd for only 54 days prior to your quitting for 54 days, you may have awhile to go.

    When you planning to get married?

    How far? 0 days

    Similar to noFap, you don't make much progress when you passively 'wait' for rewards, or superpowers. Instead you must work for them. Whether it's consciously battling urges during NoFap, or studying for an exam, you get the rewards when you make efforts towards your goal. Rewards are earned, not given to those who are sitting down waiting.
    So work on yourself, your confidence, self-esteem, social game, and (if desired) flirting. That's how you make talking to girls easier. You work on yourself.

    I agree with @D . J . and believe that you shouldn't be doing noFap for the sole purpose of talking to girls. You should be doing this for yourself. And the answer is 0 days because everyone is different. Some people were already able to talk to girls even though they PMO. Some people didn't gain that confidence until many months later. Thus, the most effective thing: work on yourself :)

    Talking to girls is way harder than no PMO.

    For now. One of the side effects of PMO is decreased self confidence. That's decreased self confidence from the level of confidence you would have had without PMO. Once you have controlled PMO, you will be better suited to build your own self confidence because if you can the PMO enemy which has controlled you for years, you can control your fear to do anything else!
     
  10. Nah. Talking to girls is easy. It's getting over your fear of talking to them that's hard. Quitting porn will definitely help but you gotta work those social skills too. The best way is just start conversations with people you don't know.

    All you have to do is talk to them like they are men.

    this 28 year old guy I know like urself, told me about nofap and he gained confidence by becoming independent from the social world and just did things he enjoyed, and confidence just unexpectedly showed up as some point like 200 days into nofap where he saw a girl and he just knew wat to do.. The key point is that he didn't wait for that surge of confidence, he had a daily preoccupation, which is something u might need to focus on.. He lost his virginity at 27.. Not that I'm assuming ur a virgin.. I think that horniness gives u confidence, and I mean healthy horniness like u are simply attracted to girl and don't go beyond that.. People who are unhealthily horny go beyond her looks and start fantasizing and in turn that thought processes creates a disconnect from the outset, to the extent that he feels rejected before even talking to her..

    may be u r shy ,and i think this problem must be before P use.and with PMO this problem further deteriorated.
    it is much related to ur self esteem and how u see ur self.u have to work on this issue and PMO free will also help u.if u want to talk to girl and in ur mind u r seeing her as next sex partner it will not work and u always hesitate. u have to kept in mind that sex comes much later but due to PMO addiction our natural wiring changed a bit .and if u r introvert u have to use this link ,it has changed my mind regarding girls.http://www.yourbrainrebalanced.com/index.php?topic=20814.0
    hope this will help u.

    Everybody's path is different, there's no telling when all of your "superpowers" will come... only you can determine that and like the people above said, "you need to work on yourself first." ... you need to love yourself first.
