Hello,
First post here, so let me introduce myself. I'm 24 years old, I've been a nerd all my life and I'm quite shy. However, I've had girlfriends before, I know how to dress, I go to the gym and take good care of myself, so I've got at least some basics down and am not the stereotypical nerd either. Anyway, I'm here because I want to overcome my shyness and I hope to learn a lot
Here's my question. I figured, since I want to learn how to approach women, the way I would do it is using a very practical approach. For example, on a certain day I would choose a location, either on campus, at the shopping centre, at Starbucks, at the grocery store, etc. I would make a plan for the day, including openers that I want to use and different strategies. Then, at the end of the day I would go over what worked and what didn't work for me, and use that to do better the next time.
Now, I figured, maybe there already exists some kind of program with a practical approach like that out there. Something that guides you step by step. Because, the way I see it, learning to start conversations with women is basically learning to overcome approach anxiety. And approach anxiety is not something that can be overcome by reading books, forum posts or articles. It is something that can only be overcome with actual experience, and that requires a lot of determination and discipline.
So, I'm just wondering if any such structured program exists.
Anyone knows? Also, what do you think of my idea? Any advice is very welcome!
Thanks.
