I don't want to be caught using the same openers (e.g thought you were cute, had to say hi). How can I overcome this fear of being caught out?

I don't want a reputation as a player, especially since I'm still living in the town I was born and raised in. Feels like everyone knows everyone

Maybe this is internal game shit. I'll finish reading "awaken the giant within"

No girls ever called me out
Just deliver it like its not canned, don't walk up to a girl and straight up go "I thought you were cute and had to say hi", just put it into the conversation naturally as you go
It only sounds canned if you use it canned

what are they going to say?

I AM CUTE? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT PICKUP LINE!!!, HOW DARE YOU!!! I HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED, I'M CALLING THE POLICE, YOU WAIT RIGHT HERE, THIS IS CLEARLY AN ASSAULT!!! *WAGGS FINGER*

like what do you expect, a girl to kick your ass and beat you to death with her bare hands or something? is that the common response you envision in your mind?

now switch the rolls up in your head, lets even use an example of an unattractive girl, lets say an unattractive girl comes and approaches you, and tells you, ''you're cute, and I just wanted to come meet you'', but it is obvious she is nervous, and her face is beat red, she is clearly blushing up a storm and all twichy out of fear, are you telling me you would call her out on using some sort of line?, what do you think the worst case scenario would be for that girl from you?, would you really tear a strip out of her cause you are not attracted? tell her she should mind her own fucking buisness cause you know you're cute already?, maybe challenge her to duel to the death for such disrespect?, or do you think you would at worse say something like ''thank you'' then try to cut the convo short, or tell her, wow thanks you so much, but ''I have a girlfriend'

c'mon, what is going to happen if they ''catch you''?

you should go out with the express purpose to get rejected/embrassed, that should help you with this irrational fear

you don't want the repuation as a player? why not, players are cool... trust me, if you don't sleep with anyone, or seem extremely nervous about talking to some girl, you won't get that repuation, however if you are good looking, smooth, dress well, and have confidence, and always have a new girl on your arm every week and the girls around you are actually thinking about sleeping with you, but worried they couldn't hold onto you cause there is a new girl on your arm every week... then you might get that rep

right now just about the only rep you will get if you are this neurotic is... hey that's johnny, he's talking to girls and asking them out... oh wow, I always thought he was gay.... well good for him, you go get em' johnny

just stop overthinking this, and go out and meet girls, no one is going to kill you for trying to get a date

GOOD LUCK

Wow these words hit so close to home. Definitely taking this to heart.

Thanks guys for your advice, this community rocks.
