Ok so I just got back from town after FAILING.
Why does that shit feel so hard? Here's how it went down:
I got up this morning, washed my car and did a few other things to keep me energetic and motivated. I was feeling good on the drive into town, quite relaxed listening to some of my favourite music.
I parked up the car and headed to the lift in the car park to take me to the shops. Now usually I just take the stairs because a) I hate waiting for lifts and b) They're fucking awkward as hell! But this time I made a purposeful effort to wait for the lift and interact with whoever was already in it when the doors opened. Turned out to be a middle aged couple, I simply said 'Are you going to the shops' , they agreed and then after followed some awkward silence.
The lift doors open at the shops and there's a HB8 waiting for it, as I walk off I hold eye contact and smile at her. She smiles back and then just as I walk past her I manage to squeak out a fucking awful 'Hi' - man I felt like a chump after that. I then walk around the corner and two HB7.5s are waiting to pay their parking. Again I hold eye contact with one of them and do exactly the same, gay ass 'Hi' squeak as I'm walking past and then not even turning round to check out her reaction.
Why am I such a fucking pussy when it comes to this? I planned on saying hello to approx 100 people today. I DO NOT LACK CONFIDENCE, I talk to different people every day in my business and everything's fine, and yet when I want to start gaming these bitches everything fucks up!
Anyways I ended up saying Hi to about 5 girls in the space of, say 1 and a half hours. I met my friend and then left for home.
My plan ongoing is to keep up this mission everwhere I go. Walking to the shops, on my lunch break, EVERYWHERE. I overthought it which made me fuck it up, so if I just stay in the mind set of doing it whenever then gradually it will be easier (I hope).
I've just started a journal which you should all read in the Field Reports section. PM me for the link, I'm a dumb fuck and don't know how to post it here. More to come from me!

Don't wory man, it took me 3 whole days at the mall, before I did my first approach which wasn't a succes to say the least. In total it's something like 12 hours walking around in the mall before my first approach. I got only halfway through my opener before I just walked off because I sounded like a robot saying my line. But I'm just glad I did it anyway. Gonna go to the mall in a hour so wish me luck ;P
Best of luck to you as well.
