So I was at college campus a few years back doing some approaches and I started getting really in my head. You know that feeling where you see a girl you want to approach but your brain starts going a million miles an hour and your body just shuts down and won't let anything come out of your mouth. Yeah most people call this dreaded phenomenon Approach Anxiety.

But then I thought, "does approach anxiety really exist?" and decided to just go up to girls and ask them where the science building was or where the nearest Starbucks was. That was really really easy to do…and in no time I was approaching! Was I using a clever pickup line or cool opener….no of course not, but I was approaching every cute girl I saw with ease. So, if you feel like you have approach anxiety just start going up to girls and ask for directions or the time or whatever you want and you will see how easy it really is to approach anyone.

So now you're probably thinking `ok genius that's easy but where the hell do I go from there?' Well that's easy you can take it where every you want to take it…either direct or indirect. Here are two examples:

Direct Version:
Me: "Excuse me, do you know where the nearest Starbucks is?"
Her: "Ya its just past that building"
Me: "Oh thanks…well actually I don't really want coffee I just wanted to flirt
with you. My names Artisan"
Her: "Haha my names…"

Indirect Version:
Me: "Excuse me, do you know where the nearest Starbucks is?"
Her: "Ya its just past that building"
Me: "Ok cool thanks, hey one more quick question (time constraint) this is kinda random (pacing) but I need a female opinion on something, maybe you could help me out real quick (time constraint)…."

Some people might call the Starbucks thing a "pre opener" because it is used to get the women comfortable with the idea of you talking to her. It's something that is very socially acceptable during the day and makes whatever you say next hit better. Remember during the day people are in their own little worlds and they aren't used to strangers talking to them so the pre opener just creates some small social comfort before you use your direct or indirect line. Its really great for getting out of your head and get into a social state where you feel totally normal and at ease talking to random people in public.
