Hey guys, just finished reading The Game and I'm ready to start. I'm a complete AFC and I'm determined to changing my life around.
I'm tired of relying completely on luck for getting laid and I want to take matters into my own hands.

So my weak points are:
bad case of AA
keeping the conversation going

More about me:
I'm in college where there are a ton of parties and clubs. (Have to wait a month though till the school year starts).

I have no experience with the game.

I convinced one of my best friends (also AFC) to join me and become my wingman. We plan to start with Mystery's approach.. opening groups with indirect approaches

I would really appreciate it if you guys would critique me as I plan to post all the approaches I make

So tomorrow, I plan to make my first approach. There is this really cute asian girl HB7 who I ride the bus with every day. I plan to open with:

I will sit next to her and I will turn on my phone and start laughing. Then, I'll turn to her and say "Hey what do you think of this: My 14 year old brother got dumped by his first girlfriend because he still sucks on his thumb.. Would you go out with a guy that sucks his thumb?"
I'm really nervous but I really want to do this approach to get my self-esteem up.
I'm really worried about what to do after the opener but I will figure it out before tomorrow.

Any tips?

The worst kind of Approach Anxiety to overcome, is when you approach a girl whom you've been planning to talk to for a while - especially, when you've been planning for days beforehand on how to open her. If you think you can overcome that fear, then more power to you, but the best way to keep AA at bay, is to just act spontaniously. You may also want to plan for contigencies, like: what if someone is already sitting next to this girl when you get on the bus?
