direct approach only works in the day time on the street. It's hard to transition after you give them a compliment. after you say something like "Hey, can i tell you something really quickly? I literally just saw you and I thought you looked really nice and i wanted to come over to say hi". Then when she says thank you and hi back, you transition to say "And what I noticed about you was that ...". You say something you like about her e.g. what nationality you think she is, something about what she's wearing etc. you can make a comment about anything about the girl, and then you find out what she's doing in the area and what she does for a living and relate to it. also say only abit about urself, make urself mysterious which is very attractive.
about getting ur motivation. you have to act like you don't give a shit about what's gonna happen, what's she going to say or do. its all about the "dont give a shit attitude" that will eliminate your fear. but what allows you to freeze and be covered with fear is waiting for the voice to come to you, which is not what you should be doing at all. what you need to do is to "ACT ON INSTINCT". see something you like and in a split second, act apon it. the more you think about approaching a girl, the more likely you wont do it. so you have to ommit the thinking part. whenever you see a girl, dont think about anything, just go in there and say something you like about her without thinking. just approach within 3 seconds of seeing her.
a mission you can do during ur vacation, go out into the street and walk around, find something that you like about a person, guy or girl, or if you see something you like in a shop, just go up to a person, tell them and say why do u like it. another exercise, when you're walking in the street with a friend, you can practice telling it to them. the general idea of these exercises is to practice to "SAY WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND". give it a try
hope that i have helped. happy gaming dude
