Oh wait read that wrong.
Hmm overall, er I dunno, 100 maybe.
Agreed! I would say every night I go out I need to open 1-3 sets to feel good, and usually 2-5 to have success (kiss close on the night and then keep the game going).
That been said, I never lost my approach anxiety. So the first sets I open each night are never easy (just the first words are difficult). I have a few openers that have been successful, but the real good ones are the ones I make up in the moment (with something related to the context) - but for these ones I usually need a few beers before
One thing that helped me a lot in being less anxious and more confident was to fuck more women (oh what an insight!). After you have banged a few 9+, it becomes much more easy to approach beautiful women. Last advice: newbie drills. Every time I lose a lit bit of confidence, I go out 4 days in the same week. It always works to meet 1-3 great women....
Best of luck. The fear never goes away, but the confidence of victory increases greatly.
