Sticking points, the window of opportunity, and taking action -

It's nice to get to a stage where you know exactly what your current sticking points are. I have 3:
1) Taking action.
I have reached the stage where there is no point in reading any more theory, or watching videos, but simply executing.
I cannot progress until this starts to happen. Don't get me wrong - I am having quite a few interactions when I go out, but not enough, And in the interactions I do have......
2) Failure to escalate.
Resulting in the inevitable 'nice to meet you'. Aaaargh! It is an indication that I still care too much about the interaction.
3) The window of opportunity is small.
This is something that I have noticed more recently - that moment when you need to take some kind of action, be it opening, dancing with a girl, or going for the makeout. Once it is gone, it is gone. At the same time this is a silver lining, as it was something I didn't notice before - so I guess it is also progress as well!
