Is 18 really too old to start learning pick up?
Like, I was really shy in high school. Now I'm trying to get outta my shell. I seem to be a little late because most of the guys (normal non-pua guys) have already had sex and I haven't even kissed a girl yet.
I'm also 18 with VCard intact, but have k-closed quite a few different lasses.
You're not too old-if anything you're too young! Neil Strauss (Style) didn't get started until his late 20's or older. (Read 'The Game' if you haven't already)
With regards to going to the mall, I think deliberate day game is a waste of time for people like yourself. Going up to girls just because they are 'hot' will only help with approach anxiety. If I were you, try to
focus on sarging at night, preferably somewhere with alcohol to oil up the conversation. People in general are more relaxed at night/being social and looking for fun, whereas during the day people are busy.
Don't worry about not 'coming out of your shell' - some people don't come out of their shell for another 10 years (eg. Strauss). All it takes is a conscious decision to just get out there- DO IT!
Anyway, have some fun with this stuff, remember the basics first (confidence/grooming etc), and most importantly GET IN THE FIELD. Good luck
