Its been awhile since I've done any approaches. Today I ran into a girl I graduated with. I barely knew her and she barely knew me. She was the super hot and popular cheerleader and I was just a shy emo kid. I approach her right when I see her, and act almost as if we were best friends. I was trying to get a positive vibe going, but as the convo progressed I began to get nervous. I noticed t I was getting nervous and started holding my breath. I panicked and bailed, told her I had to go. It was so frustrating and yet stimulating at the same time. I know I'm not on her level yet, but its driving me to get there. I want to stomp my AA, so that never happens again. I need to find the best approach to overcoming it. I'm not asking how to beat it, I've read several articles on it. I just want to know what you guys think is the best way to beat it.

"I know I'm not on her level yet..." that's a terrible mindset to have, for starters I'd kill that mindset.

just breathe right before your going to open her take a large breath hold it for 5 seconds the breath out slowly then you'le be more calm
