For those battling Approach Anxiety... you have two problems:
1. Externally Validated Value Systems.
You are assuming that the women you are approaching have higher value than you do.
Let go of that, become a high-value guy... understand that women WANT TO BE WITH YOU!
2. Outcome-Dependency
You are attached to the outcome of the interaction, my suggestion for battling this is the following: (in order)
- Approach, ask for directions, exit.
- Approach, ask for directions, ask name, exit.
- Approach, ask for directions, ask name, ask profession, exit.
- Approach, ask for directions, ask name, ask profession, ask zodiac, make assumption on zodiac, verify/disqualify assumption, exit.
- Approach, ask for directions, ask name, ask profession, ask zodiac, make assumption on zodiac, verify/disqualify assumption... (by this point you should have talked to enough girls where you can start introducing openers here)...
Eventually this will lead to...
- Approach, establish entitlement, build rapport, escalate, time-bridge, close.
Good Luck!
