Got over my AA - now im discovering i cant predict how interested a girl will be when i talk to her- and so when a girl is into me from the start and enthusiastic to talk- even though i know what to say as ive done my homework- my mind goes blank or i just revert to my old AFC reactionary stuff and she loses interest as i never lead.
How do i continue with nerves inside, enthusiasm and a blank mind lol? especially when i really want her

Congrats on getting over AA. Been with ~100 women and I still get AA if I don't do warm-up approaches.

If you're stalling out in the first 5 minutes, then you're still in opening game. I would consider using a natural opening stack, or whatever feels comfortable to you. My basic structure is: non-elaborate opinion opener + funny observation about them + asking them a question. Not exactly rocket science.

That buys you 5-7 minutes. If you're still talking at that point, then it's time to move them around the bar--ala, "Come keep me company while I get a drink." If they don't go with you, then they probably aren't attracted.

So your next goal should be to start moving girls around, or "venue changing."

Yeah I found the only opener I am comfy with is a asking for directions one. I then listen and say thanks and then say 'by the way i know this is a bit random- but you are stunning ' smile and then run away lol.
It helps ALOT if I can see video footage example of guys doing this exact stuff so i can then believe it, and then and only then does it pop in my mind in that split second so i can use it.
I will now endeavor to seek utube examples of simple opinion openers, witty comments on her and a question and see if i can keep my mind focused enough to bring it out naturally in the field. It aint rocket science no but it aint easy either!
Oh forgot to say i'm doing day-game and stopping moving targets in the town so maybe that's a factor in continuing conversation because they are always going somewhere!

Then practice opening with something that gets her talking a little more, let's her know that you chose to meet her but doesn't tell her with a compliment.
Try going into stores and talking to women, they'll have some more attention to spare for you.
