| Finally I'm doing something about it, after all those nights of coming home asking myself why I didn't approach that girl who was looking at me or why I just walked away from that girl who bought ME a drink. I'm sick of the introvert I've become and this is going to change now. Below I am creating a journal, first step obliterating approach anxiety. I will go out to malls a few days a week and report how it went on this post. Once I am comfortable with a simply "hi, what time is it, where is xxxx store" I will ask for the communities help on how to proceed. Here goes, and to all who contribute THANK YOU.

Time: Noon
Decided to the biggest mall in my area, Square One (I'm from Toronto Ontario, mysteries hometown). First set I approach was a two set, two Asian Girls asking them if there is a second cup in the mall. One seemed very shy and the one who opened up and told me seemed like she had just seen a ghost, I'm assuming she was a lot more nervous as I am... Not too sound cock but I'm not ugly thats for sure. After telling me where it wad I thanked them and went on my way.
At that point I noticed my hair resembled one of those raccoon hats with the tale sticking out at the end so I headed over to the barber shop. I approach a slim attractive blonde girl who looked no older than 20. How can I help you she asked, Hey I'm just looking to cut this mop off my head. She laughed as she pointed to a bulky looking Asian man who wore a short sleeved button down dress shirt a few sizes too big and has a fauxhawk with a rusty tone down the middle. Turns out he had a passion for hair styling since he was 15, unfortunately, that didn't fly well with his father so he got booted out of the house. After he was done I approach the slim cashier from earlier, So, Do I pull it off? I said pointing at my pauly D like hairstyle. Yeah it looks really nice on you, not many guys can pull it off. At this point my intent was to ask her for her number, but I wanted to learn to crawl before I learned to walk.
My third approach was a woman who looked in her 20's from behind but once she turned around she looked more more like she was in her 40's - but cute nonthless. Hey I'm sorry to both you but is there an urban behaviour in this mall? I'm new in town and we dont have malls this big where I'm from. She laughed, I'm sure there is but I don't exactly know where, theres a sign up ahead you can check that one. Thanks, appreciate it I said as i walked out.
As I walked toward the exit I noticed a petite brunette texting on her phone, as if she was waiting for someone. She wore a brown jacket, ugg boots, and tight lululemon pants. She has enough makeup on her face to pass as a manakin. Hey I'm really sorry to bother you, she stands up from her seat - Oh not at all! it's not problem! she said as she smiled at me playfully. Is there an Urban Behaviour in this mall, " yeah I know where it is it just slipped my mind. Fuck, oh right if you head down the stairs and make a right you cant miss it. Thanks appreciate the help I said, No problem, take care! At that point I decided it was time to head home.
I hope you enjoyed reading this entry, I'm going out again in a few days but I wont be able to progress without your help. After I get comfortable with opening what can I do to escalate the encounter into a conversation and possibly a number close. Remember, baby steps. If someone can reccommend me something small I can add into this routine it would be helpful. Thanks community.
