First of all Id like to thank everyone for the welcome following my introduction to the forum. It already gives me confidence reading through some of your older threads!

So, after posting my introduction I was full of confidence ready to tackle what the city had to offer me. My aim was to make ten approaches. I made one! This has already told me that my confidence is much lower than I thought. I struggled so much and didnt want to look stupid. Why this is i dont know. At the moment my approach is already going to be a problem.

My voice trembled everytime I tried to make an approach and I just couldnt seem to get my words out! Embarassing or what, however, after returning to my place feeling dejected and low I was due to be out in a few bars on the saturday night. I was at a bar stood there with a friend when something great happened. I was peacocking (loud shirt, cool shoes, silver rings, eye catching bracelets - you know the drill) when this HB8 came up to me and just started talking. She said she recognised me but didnt know where from. She even gave me a high five when I told her what I did for a living! We never established where we knew each other from however to be honest my game went out of the window. I got so nervous in the end that I put an end to the conversation by saying nice to talk to you but I have to get back to my friend. Afterwards my friend said she was a boob job away from being stunning!

I got opened again outside a club later that night. A girl totally randomly came up to me and said, "hey you look really stylish". I said thanks and walked off. (panick had set in)

So what have I learnt?

Confidence is key. I got opened which means I must be doing something right? I have made myself a promise. If i ever get opened again. I dont care how much I stutter or how red I go. I will keep talking until she ends the conversation!

I just need to start opening now and have belief. Hopefully the next field report will have me opening everyone so that I am in control.

Peace Out

Switch

Good work switch. Feeling and comfortable and confident with yourself as you say is defo key. You need to desentize yourself to not just approaching but having interactions with hot girls. Like you say, push yourself next time to stay in the interaction no matter how uncomfortable. Eat away at the uncomfortableness through familiarising yourself with these senarios.

You are heading in the right direction. Out of interest, you say you did one approach in the city... was this in the day on the streets?

Yeah I did one approach in the day time. I actually feel more comfortable in the day. Im going to try and make progress this week. I feel more confident now.

I shall keep you posted!

Nice one mate. I'm also a fan of day game. Would be interested to hear your reports.

First of all Switch well done on having the bottle to be open and honest about how your approaches went - we're one big happy family here and hopefully we can offer you help and advice that will help you progress your Game.

I was exactly the same when I started - I struggled to make a single approach and even now I still get AA - I try and channel the nerves into positive energy and that has helped me or I still would never approach anyone! The important fact is that you made your first appraoch and didn't give up. If you only make 1 approach a day - after a week or two you will feel more confident and will be able to approach more. The biggest worry for me was 'failing' and by this I mean getting blown out...but after you get blown out you realise that the worst thing they can say is no (or just ignore you) and you may feel a bit silly first of all but that's it!! And the more confident you get, the more approaches you will do and the more chance that will give you of having successful results :-)

Do you know the areas you want to improve upon? Maybe finding a Wingman in your area might help you? Keep us posted Brother - good luck :-)
