Post subject:  AA and coversational problems

Recently i've become better at talking to strangers in general, but i'm still struggling with AA. For me to open a set i need some liquid confidence, which kind of sucks. But as i've written here before, i'm struggling with my conversational skills. It usually becomes very "normal polite conversation", but i'm practising and trying to improve.

But my question is if anyone has attended a bootcamp? What was your experience? Was it worth it and so on?

The reason why i ask this question is because i think i might need a little boost to get past this hurdle i'm at, a kickstart. And i'm wondering if it's the right thing for me to do, i don't want to throw my money away.

So if anyone who has been to a bootcamp could please respond i would greatly appreciate it :)

Life is short. What's the worst thing that can happen if you approach?

Rejection isn't bad because it proves that you gave it a shot.

Life is short. Don't throw it away, just go for it.

I've done a bootcamp. The big thing to recognize about the bootcamp is.. you can only straighten out so much in one weekend. I mean, who would imagine getting a BS degree in a weekend.. WTF?? But becoming good at PU is also a major skill with many facets. With that said, what I'd expect anyone to get out of a bootcamp is...
- They convey.. "You will approach". This is the common thing that any bootcamp will get you doing before the weekend is over. The instructors will do what is needed to help you achieve this.
- You have instructors watching you, who will immediately see the good and bad right off. As such, they can quickly fix some things that are holding you back. In my bootcamp, my instructor pointed out that I was negative in my convo. Changed things right then and there.

I would not expect you to learn all the ins and outs of conversation or attraction in a bootcamp. I would expect you to get a few things corrected on these over the weekend, and pointed where to go next.

As for the AA thing.. my best tips to anyone on this are:
- Get a good wing. Just seeing someone approach crashes thru my bad beliefs.
- Go out regular. If I haven't gone out for a month, it's a reset. I have to go out a couple of times, just to get back to where I was.
- Have an opener stack. I define an opener stack as a list of openers that will hook a set, and encourage conversation.. ya ya, we all love natural game. I do practice that. But, the mind can go blank. Have these ready, so that you can pull one out when nothing else comes to mind. I would not worry too much about finding the opener that makes her wanna make out with you then and there. Just find some things to loosen up everyone's vocal chords. Search the "approaching and opening" section of the boards for ideas.
