Following the tips of Gambler to reduce approach anxiety, I made it my goal to approach at least 20 women at the mall. I wanted them to be somewhat attractive - I didn't bother with girls that weren't at least 5s. I was experimenting with this one opener for the first time.

"My friend offered me five bucks for every girl I get to take a selfie with. Ready for it?"

I got 4/20 to take the picture with me.

Oddly, the hotter girls seemed more receptive to it than the more average ones. Three agreed easily, but I had to persuade the fourth girl to take the photo. She said "no thanks." I said "I thought you looked like the fun type, was I wrong?" Boom, I got a photo with her.

Now I didn't try to get numbers or anything but for me it was just about working on making approaches to attractive woman without crapping myself, and I felt more confident as time went on.

If you accomplished your goal of becoming more comfortable around hot girls you just met, then good stuff. Taking it to the bars/clubs next?

That's the plan.

I went to a couple bars last weekend but got booted out of all of them, being only 20. I didn't even order alcohol. Ordered water at the bar of one of them and he wanted ID. I don't even look like I'm 20 according to most people. Baby face.
