My AA stem from worrying about the interaction not going well. Rationally, I realise there is no such thing as the perfect way to open, no such thing as the perfect opening line etc but that doesn't stop me reverting to chode mode when I see a HB. I'm currently reading some material on all aspects of game and, in the midst of the advice, the guy mentions how he no longer includes information on opening because opening is just something us blokes need to do; its not enjoyable, it never will be, but you just gotta do it. Regardless.

This snippet really resonated with me:

"The point of opening is NOT for it to go good or bad. The only point of opening is to open and not avoid it. Her reaction doesn't matter. Stop worrying and take the pressure off yourself"

The next stage will then take care of itself, as the more women you open, the quicker you will be able to figure out the right course of action to take based on her initial reaction to you.
