what is going through your head when you are just about to open?
omg, a hot girl. dont lose this chance dammit, talk to her. say something....shit but she will know i am shy...well i can hide my shyness...remember how the people in pua forum said be detached from the outcome? say something interesting. DO YOU HAVE CANDY? COMMON, IT'S HALLOWEEN! WHERE IS YOUR HALLOWEEN SPIRIT?
SHE: I dont know, where is yours?
ME: I dont know. *go back to working on my laptop...*
what are you thinking about just before the first words leave your mouth?
omg, i cant believe i am talking to this hot girl. i am not capable of this.
scale of 1-10 how much excitement are you feeling just before the open (nervous energy) it depends on the day. sometimes I am very nervous, sometimes I dont care.
what do you think is going to happen as a result of you talking to them, do you think it is a rejection, do you think it is them being irritated because you are harassing them, do you think it is an open and a freeze, do you think it is a conversation, do you think it is a kiss, do you think it is them laughing, do you think it is sex? (be honest please) This lame guy is trying to pick me up and his tactics are so lame. AND: This guy is so annoying, I am not attracted to him and dont want him talking to me.
how often and how long have you been cold approaching women? I started like a month ago, and so far i have done it like 6 times.
are you comfortable with telling a girl you like her, or complimenting her on her looks/saying what ever you want to self amuse? telling her you want to have sex with her? no. absolutely not.
ok, here are some ideas for you, try to consciously change what is going through your head before you open, instead of thinking about you, or what she will think of you, think about her, and what you think of her, try to get horny during the approach, imagine her performing sexual acts on you, that you would enjoy, or imagine her talking to you and laughing, her smiling being happy, you have to change this self talk you have going on from OMG IM GOING TO BE REJECTED, to SHE CAN NOT REJECT ME, I AM FAR TO FUCKING BOSS
when it is said don't be attached to outcome = don't be afraid to get rejected, and don't think sex absolutely must happen, what will happen will happen, don't worry about it
understand the excitement you feel before the words leave your mouth is normal, it tends to die down after about 10 approaches in a day (the number is different for everyone and some people don't even get that excited from the first one), but the first approach of the day is always the hardest, just think about how excited that girl made you
when you are in a very nervous state and you would rate it above a 5, I find it helps me to focus on my breathing, and try to kill my energy level as low as I can, I move less, I attempt to clear my mind and think of something that makes me feel happy, this helps me
once again, you have to replace your mindset, it will come with time, the women are still on the pedastool for you, you have to stop thinking of things like you are auditioning for a girl, and realize, you did the approach, she is auditioning for you, you are just getting to know her,
you really need more experience, you need to cold approach much more to get used to it, after a while you will just become desensitized to talking and will be able to think more clearly after opening, but the initial energy and adrenaline rush from the first approach of the day, will usually always still exist (or at least it still does for me)
you might want to try, stepping outside of your comfort zone, and for a few weeks practice opening with a compliment that states you find her attractive in your own words, make sure it is honest and genuine
, stepping over this hurdle can help you build confidence quickly, and show you that girls are just people like us, approach 100 women with a direct and sincere compliments and you will see all kinds of different responses, and after that your comfort level with verbalizing what you want, will be leaps and bounds above where it is now, then you can shift back to indirect game if you want, with the ability to focus on the theory more and will most likely be comfortable with the intent/escalation aspect
GOOD LUCK
