Don't try for a marathon yet. Cold approaching anyone (guy or female) without enough confidence and social interactions is nearly impossible for most people.

Join some clubs in your area. Take up improv acting, you'll meet new people, become fun and gain confidence. Volunteer in a leadership position at a homeless shelter and start working out 3-5x a week and talking to people in the gym. After doing this for 3 months or less, start randomly talking to women in socially acceptable situations then start cold approaching.

Your comfort zone is a lie, contrary to what you might believe, staying in your comfort zone only provides TEMPORARY comfort.

What's actually happening is that you're letting your mental fear of keep you trapped and overwhelmed. Stepping out of your comfort zone means taking small risk and sometimes going against what your mind tells you is "best judgment." I think what holds many back in their zone is often the overwhelming fear of failure that we'll be embarrassed or humiliated if we try something new and not succeed.
I actually wrote a full article on my blog iusedtobethatguy[.]com/your-comfort-zone-is-a-lie , please feel free to check it out my other inspirational articles.

This is a bit too overboard. He doesnt have to go through all that.

I think everything will be okay!

Marsel, i've seen you post that you "think everything will be okay!" on a couple of posts now. Do you really think everything will be okay, or is that the only english sentence that you know? Are you trying to provide encouragement, or being sarcastic towards people who are here genuinely seeking support? Or quite possibly just trying to get your post count up? Just curious bud.

As for the OP's q, I suggest reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. II am about halfway through reading it, and it is absolute gold. If you use the techniques presented in the book, you will never be friendless again.

Although joining a club or gym in your area is certainly not a bad idea, I don't think you really need to. You are going to college, and college is a better place to meet people than any other you will ever find. You will never be more surrounded by people your age, with common interests, who are looking to cut loose, than you are in college.

Good for you that you found this community before going to college. I AFC'ed the whole time I attended, and finally dropped out. Girls in college are young and naive, and many of them are leaving their parents' homes for the first time. The feeling of freedom and independence leads to a LOT of sexual exploration for the guys that know how to build attraction.

Read the book I mentioned, and keep working on your game and I guarantee that college will be the absolute best 4-?? years of your life.

Check out the book Always Talk to Strangers. It seems to be what you are looking for.

One important note: it takes practice to make this a reality. The more you practice the easier it gets.

I reccomend doing the newbie mission in the general questions area it opended my eyes alot,All you do is go to a mall or shopping center when you see a nice looking women try to make eye contact smile and say hi you will be VERY suprised at the results , remember the first approach is the hardest and then your mind and body calm down ,its a great confidence booster and if she doesnt give you eye contact or say hi back just move on , stick to it and dont give up after a few women dont reply.

It took me 3 hi's before 1 got one back and then it became alot easier

DONT OVERTHINK IT AND DONT GIVE UP
