I'd like to hear your techniques for beating the (usually) biggest barrier in pickup - approach anxiety.

I found that the wing counting down from 10 works a treat for getting you to get your shit together and open a set, but I also found that sets didnt seem to stick as much and they'd fizzle out.

The best technique I've found is for me and my wing to seperate. I'd find myself walking right up to sets left right and centre. Probably because I feel more of a cunt stood on my own than opening, so opening is the easiest option.

Ideas please!...
