Hey everyone this is a really simple but frustrating as can be SP. Today and on many other occasions (I'll demonstrate using today's situation only however it applies to every situation I've ever had. Today I was at a store and this HB 7 (easily), was at the checkout. I wanted to talk to her and game a little but when some people came up behind me in line I went from LET'S DO THIS to I don't want them to over hear this and made this exact face I'm sure. This has always been a sticking point for me no matter where or when or whenever I'm in a less noisy place. Any ideas on how to get over this?

Thanks

I also forget to mention. That I always want to go out and practice at a club or social gathering of some sort. But a second sticking point is that I can't go alone. I want to practice but I like it if I had someone to back me up for a confidence boost at first and secondly to show me where I could improve my game.

Thanks again

This is a challenging scenario that comes up over and over again if you spend any time in the field. The solution is to literally pretend they do not matter. It's not worth it to let a perfect opportunity go by the wayside just because some bystanders are around.

I still regret some situations in the past where I did the same exact thing you are describing. The best way to go about it is to enter in to a very comfortable convo with the girl where you are speaking with her in the manner you'd be speaking with a girlfriend (do this anyway).

Other people are usually wrapped up in their own thoughts anyway and even if they were paying attention, they'll be either envious (if they're a guy) or wishing they were the girl you're talking to (if they're a girl).
