| It's been less than one week since I started reading PUA material and after talking to some random people in the streets yesterday and the day before in an effort to overcome my AA, today I took a big step. My goal was to talk to 5 random people with 2 of them being girls and throw this pick up line to at least one girl:
"I'm lost, can you give me any directions?"
"Where do you wanna go?"
"To your heart."
But I hadn't the guts to say this to any girl on the street. I arrived at the supermarket and talked to random people - mostly women -, but asking functional questions (where is the milk, is this lettuce good, etc).
As I waited in line, I had already realized that someone with supermaket plastic bags asking for direction in the streets would sound dumb. The pick up line would sound dumb anyway, but whatever.:p So I decided that I would give the cashier a compliment about her hair. She was something like 25 to 30 years old. My heart started pumping fast. It was even harder because I had to do it in front of the other people in line. I wanted to give up for more than one time, but I realized that I had to take action to overcome my fear. As the cashier scanned my reason I started thinking and just threw:
"Your hair is very beautiful" While looking at her eyes. My voice came out somewhat tremulous I think, but she thanked me with a smile and then I asked if the waviness in her hair was natural. She said it was. For the rest of the transaction she talked to me with a very open smile. I said bye, left the supermarket. As I walked to the streets I couldn't avoid the grin that appeared in my face and lasted all the way home. As I approached the entrance of my tenement a young girl was almost closing it. I ran and said "Wait" loudly. She waited and I thanked her. In the elevator I asked her if she had recently moved in to the tenement, she said "more or less, I started living here six months ago". I said "Wow... I had never seen you". She said "Yeah, me too. My working time is a bit odd". I could see that she was a little timid too, but there wasn't this tension when you talk to someone you doesn't know, and she was smiling. The elevator arrived at her floor, and we said bye. I entered my house feeling like a victor. The day before I was too scared to talk to beautiful girls in the street, but today I took a big step in overcoming my AA. I was no less scared when I talked to the cashier than I was yesterday when I tried to talk to random girls, but this time I confronted my fear and it feels so great man. If I see the girl of the elevator (she's like a 7) again I might try to hit on her, even if she's 22 or something like that and I'm only 17, hahahaha.
I hope this encourages other newbies like me: The first steps are always the hardest ones, but if you don't take them you'll never get anywhere! Try it and you'll realize girls aren't monsters trying to rip you apart and eat your kidney! They aren't that scary anymore after you say the first word.
