First of all, congratulations for being brave! There's not much men nowadays have the balls and courage to step up and bring it.
Second, build your confidence level, build it as high as Mount Everest... LOL!
Third, work on your openings. Be more creative and adventurous. I'd like to open and start with,"Hey, u look like..... *pause few secs* Someone I wanna know..
Fourth, don't rush your conversation. Your not in a race or speed dial.. Comfort yourself talking to women as if your talking to men, and let her feel safe and secure under your arms..
Fifth, If women tend to say they have a BF, 70% most of it are not true especially when you just get to open. They are trying to indicate they are not interested / eject from you with what you have to offer. Conclusion, convince them that your here to rock their world!!!
Sixth, work on your body language.. Be more productive!
Seventh, take a look on KINO.. You'll be amazed with what that theory can offer you
Lastly, all the best on your journey Soncheese. I'll be looking forward with your next update.
Cheers,
