Hey guys,
I just recently ran into this site and decided to test my problems here. A little about me, I'm 21 and have looked into many different PUA solutions utilizing many that I have found to form my own personal style (or sections of other styles that I can utilize). However, even through my learning experience, I haven't had much luck with the ladies as of yet. Well actually, I did land 2 numbers and get the interests of a wife (entirely my fault cause I didn't check for a ring lmao), but nothing solid as both numbers came up dead. I also feel like I've regressed a bit considering that I've put some of my development on the back burner for a bit.

Here's my main problem. I'm a to my self guy. I think a lot, I dont talk too much if I dont have to, and I keep my self busy to not get bored. I'm a guy with limited to no experience with some of the cliche places around me (bars and clubs cause I hate both), and I over accentuate a reputation that I have to uphold, that I dont even have in the first place.

So my first mission was to get more talkative; Learning to be a friendly contributor to just general conversation. In my opinion, the best way to talk to someone with intended sexual interest, is not to talk with interest at all (at least till you get further a long). Just learning how to shoot the s*** for no reason at all. So I went through the paces. Step one, I greeted most to every woman that past me with a smile and with volume (considering I tend to talk soft when I don't know it). Next, I tried holding a conversation with almost any women I could manage to catch for a few. While this in itself did prove a bit difficult.

Now given, if a conversation were aptly formed, I'd have no problem talking to them now (which I do say is an accomplishment). I often find now that it's hard for me not to give too much on a conversation topic when it's not needed (not shutting up when you sometimes should). So now what I've earned is that I can hold a conversation with a woman providing the prior steps before were formed properly which leads to my problem now which is proably the haunting factor of noobs like me and even pros a.k.a. Approach Anxiety.

For me, I noticed ever so frequently that I've gotten more monkey chatter than usual (what really sucks is that most of the time, the targets are moving ones):
*Ohh I cant talk to her she's on her cell phone right now. Besides she doesn't even look that good....doesn't matter (this happened today actually, moving)
*She's walking too fast (though moving targets are usually a bad idea anyway)
*She's talking with her friends. Probably shouldn't interrupt them. Would be rude and come across as some random guy that wants something. It's a dead give away (beach)
*I haven't formed an approach for her and the situation. It's too late now!
*You're hesitating! Skrew it. Try the next one.
*You dont have anything interesting to say (harsh but wow)
*She's (soooo) not my type.
*There's a guy in the group. I probably shouldn't intrude. (Alpha complex)
and probably one of the worst
*Eject (this happened when I was comfortably in a 2 set. Lasted a good 3 minutes and my mind kept on saying eject eject eject along with these girls aren't even that pretty. Dont put your all into them)

And it's been a mission just blocking this out. I guess for one reason, I dont know how to get around it! I mean even when I sometimes just want to have a general conversation with an anonymous person that's not even on my scale of acceptable females, I get these monkey chatters! I dont want to date her, hell I don't even want to go out with her. So wtf cant I just go and talk to her (them) normally?!

Though I will give myself credit that I have pushed myself to the lim_it level. F*** the concepts and technicalities of the training and just go for it. The only situation where I've been successful in this approach was with the Eject Monkey chatter story. So what happened there was that I was passing by two girls that were having a conversation and I took a look and they weren't my type and in the back of my mind I was thinking, "You idiot you saw them! Practice demands effort". So I stop and then look behind me (this is at the college now) that they changed the food court around. So I walk back and sit not to far from them and say a small afternoon to them under my breath (Mistake 1). I make like I'm looking for something on my schedule while I listen to them jabber on till I finally get the urge (about 1 minute in) and inquire about the new food court cause I took the summer semester off. So they told me about it, and they made an effort to continue the conversation. That gave me something to work with and I asked an open ended question with the results being a pretty nice conversation for about 3 minutes till the alarm went off a.k.a. EJECT EJECT EJECT! So after a while I started to tense up a bit inside (but didn't let it show) and exited very nicely like I meant to do so.

My mission and question now is how do I dumb down this monkey chatter, or what are counter thoughts to remedy these monkey chatters (particularly the cell phone one. I have no idea how to get around that one)? What should I add to my quest in reducing approach anxiety and what additional exercises should I take or methods should I take before I approach.

I'm not one for canned approaches. To me, an approach is guided by the situation and should be formulated based on your evaluation of your experience. Such as what I thought about today (30min ago lol):

Book Store -> Truth of Self = I haven't been here in a while
Approach becomes: "Hey I haven't been here in a while, what's new"

Club -> Truth of Self = I don't go to many clubs, particularly this one
Approach becomes: "Hey guys how are you doing. So I've walked in here and payed the entrance fee step inside and I'm like, where the **** do I go?! But you guys seem like you know your way around...ect."

Your friendly neighborhood noob.....the noob
