All right... AA is standard. Some good people wrote, effectively, "Approach anxiety never really goes away." Some of the best advice I've seen (wish I could give credit but I don't remember the author) is: Change that in your head to approach excitement. You're just excited to approach.
And it IS exciting! The anxiety lessens the more I approach, but there is always the fear of the unknown. But you know what? That is part of the fun of it.
Bottom line though is getting out there. If I were you I would start off more indirect, this was my starting point. Not being able to do a direct approach on the hottest girl you've seen that year is pretty understandable when you've had zero practice. You need to be patient. Get out there, ask for directions, ask for the time, anything to get you off the ground. Be patient.
