A while back I posted this thread after a Bank Hol weekend of sarging:

The time away doing other stuff has done me good, however a lot of interactions since then are progressing like this:

1) Open

2) Get the chat going

3) Kino

4) Think to myself 'Escalate', then delay pulling the trigger, moment is lost....AAARGH!

It's weird, it's like I know what should happen next but there is a mental block, which I suspect is fear of failure having already done some of the hard work. I even know the exact point when I should have attempted to close, which makes it even more frustrating!

Did anyone else reach this stage, and if so how did you eventually overcome it?
