I honestly have not approached too many women ever, like 1 which btw was successful, but I have read up a lot and have been trying to develop a personal rulebook to follow and think whenever I turn AFC. In fact, you can even use this if you have social anxiety with people in general, which I try to do

1. Assume familiarity
Basically when you act all loosened up, fun, and joyful with your friends, do that with girls. When you walk up to her don't go "..hi." Be more like "Heeey! How ya doin ugly?" (maybe not that in particular) but the mood is what matters. If this isn't working so good, just remember...she's a human like you with all the same emotions. Imagine an Alien looking down at earth and all its creatures...that's what she is, just a creature...not your 'dream girl oh dear lord my achey balls are so lonely"

2. Don't focus on the outcome
Don't run through your head "Go for the number, go for the number" rather just let your lips move and let conversation flow out naturally. The 3 Second rule also falls under this category. If you see a hot babe, within three seconds just fuckin steer yourself towards her and don't stop to think it over.

3. Jump between keywords and conversate smoothly
I used to not know what to say with girls after a few minutes and get bent out of shape or stare into space not knowing what I should do now. "Hows the night shift?" "Hard, I just wanna get home and collapse onto my couch" "Yeahhhh, I used to work graveyard shift, the couch was one of my best friends. I can't tell you how many times he's comforted me after a hard day of work".

Also utilize Rule Number 1 with this last one, if there is an awkward silence, just pretend nothing happened. When it happens with my friends, it's like nothing just be like everyone staring at their shoes than.. "Oh yeah! You see that Eagles Game, you like football or no not really a sports person?" than you could be like if she goes no "Yeah though I love my football I can't stand anything else especially baseball" and try to steer the conversation back to her and a topic she enjoys (You should try to make the girl do most of the talking and you listen).

I've also been developing a rule number 4 but I'm not sure about it yet: Overexaggerate a little.. For example, you drop your card "Woops." rather...be all like "Ohhhh my goddd dude every freaking time I draw this out of my wallet I keep dropping it...all day"

I don't mean to come off the wrong way but no, you should not use this advice. This advice will actually turn you AFC, think about it. Let me explain why:

1. Assume familiarity: "Hey, how you doin?" is a bad opener. It is total AFC. I like to use situational openers 'Oh my gosh, they're taking forever with the pizza". If you just want to open and don't have anything to comment on, I like to say "Hey, wanna hear the fun fact of the day?" It'll be something silly like Colonel Bogey's march was written by a Lieutenant or The natural Color of Coke is green or something.

I also opened a chick working at a register about what gum should I get, peppermint or spearmint? She said she didn't know then I said really think about it, what if you were going to kiss me? I gamed her for a little and by the time I gave her my card she was giggling and giving me major IOI's.

2. Don't Focus on the outcome: Fair enough, but remember you're trying to fuck her. Also, N-closes don't mean shit. Say it with me, "N-closes don't mean shit". As a newbie focus on trying to K-Close.

3. Jump between keywords and conversate smoothly: Yeah, but the example you gave is totally not smooth. You're trying to relate to her too much. Once you get good she should be trying to continue the conversation with you. You need to act high value.

I hope this advice helps you. Good luck on your PUA Journey! Also, have you started a Journal yet? They can be very helpful.

Rugby,
I've read your posts for a while now and I respect your opinion.

Tell me this: how do you draw interest? How do you make it so the girl is trying to continue the conversation with you? I feel like I'm always putting all the work in when it should be 50:50.
