i agree with blakmagik. there is no need to lie other than maybe protecting them. pointless lies about your life is the thing we need to learn to get rid of. there's no need to be embarrassed about our lives. if we've never had a girlfriend, that's ok. you can find other ways to be preselected. maybe you just enjoy dating and having fun. you can win them with your opinions/thoughts, etc...
the way i think of it is that if the lie is going to hurt your game then you can either make it cocky/funny/sarcastic so they're not sure and maybe change the subject. only lies about how many girls you've been with, slept with, are dating, etc...
i guess it's a personal opinion though.
i'm glad you're setting yourself up with a gameplan, that makes things easier i must admit. after a while i just found things too dull/boring/fake. from my experience i wasn't even paying attention to what the other person was saying anymore. i hooked onto key words, and just waited for my next turn to DHV, be alpha/lead the conversation, throw negs, etc. after a while you stress out because you run out of "material"... and i didnt really feel good about myself for being a "fake" (in my point of view)
other times i would turn AFC and forget about the game and be lost in a great conversation. that also failed because i wasn't playing the "game" right. my story telling wasn't as interesting as it should be... i would stay on a topic for too long when i KNOW i should change the subject/move on/stack routines or DHV stories. i also didnt throw negs where negs were due. sometimes they're ASKING for negs and i would forget a good line/not think of one. etc...
try to be yourself is my recommendation. give yourself some confidence and try to feel COMFORTABLE around new people/new women... and try to find a balance of your game/yourself.
sorry for going "off topic". let me answer your question:

Any thoughts or ideas to help it out/make it better?
so far everything seems good. it's done the way a so called "PUA" should do it. you DHV yourself, you have a nice little routine/game. you have a small neg which is flirtatous/drops their shield.
you're showing them you're different from every other guy in about 7 minutes which is the point of a good "opener" to a #close. since you're new though you probably haven't experienced this yet. but when you get #-closes sometimes it's hard to get a day2 because they forget about you, they get scared, etc... you need to set up day 2's in advance typically... that'll give you a higher success rate. maybe take 2-3 minutes to talk about a place that you really enjoy that you "must" take them to =).
for getting over approach anxiety, learning how friendly people/girls/women really are... it's a great start. also you'll find new sticking points... maybe with kino, AMOGs, shit tests. you need to be prepared... and this is a great start.
good luck. remember to JUST GO OUT THERE AND DO IT. stop reading/watching videos. nothing beats experience
