Have you ever gone out for a whole 5 hours without talking to one person because of approach anxiety? I have dozens of times and it sucks. I could convince myself nothing bad will happen and I'll be happy as long as I try but once I see a cute girl that all changes. My heart starts racing and I just freeze. That goes for any girl that I think is cute to, weather she is with my social circle or I see her walking down the street. This fear of talking to girls has not only kept me from getting laid but it's kept me from having any female friends for over 5 years. The only thing I want in life right now is to be able to talk to girls comfortably and having the social skills to get where I want in life. If you know how to get rid of this or have any advice on how to help approach anxiety (or a fear of talking to girls you think are hot), then it'll be much appreciated, thanks.

From my impression of you is that you have low self-esteem. This is where you need to start. Weather the girls are picking up on it or you aren't aproaching the girls because of it is unclear, but things are not going to change unless you rid yourself of it.

Start small, stand up straight, go get a good haircut. Gaming, approaching, or even just meating people takes high energy. You cannot accomplish your goals without self esteem.

For me the outcome of a new me proved a very good path. I'm sure you've read many of these guys talking about getting dress advice from girls. Not only is this a great opener, but it builds on itself.

I believe this orriginates with Style, though I'm not sure. Go out and introduce yourself to girls and ask them for spacific style tips (I usualy chose shoes or tattoos). As you get comfortable doing this with strange women, better and better conversation will ensue until you work up the balls to take one of them shopping with you or some other activity. As long as you stay out of the creep zone your ok (and if you do fall into that just make sure you learn from it).

PM me if you want more spacific advice, but this is a star. Good luck man.

And remember girls are always willing to talk about shoes.

Have you tried vodka? Lots of it.
Get drunk, do it...remember it and realise it was alright...
At least it's a start eh?
