First of all, new to Reddit and stuff, hooray for me.
I've been lurking on this board recently (2 weeks or so). I'm 24, male, and single. Didn't approach girls because I thought I was invisible, along with a complex pseudointellectual biology-based rationalization I won't bother you with but which I heavily used to justify myself, being out-of-shape, (still) a coward and cynic. Then I find this place.
Fine.
Two days ago I tried my first approach. The girl had headphones and was smoking. I passed by, stopped, got pissed off and approached her. Complimented her. She said she got a boyfriend, shook her hand and went. Couldn't be happier. I finally felt like I didn't have to hate myself.
Yesterday. Spotted two girls, didn't have the balls to approach them. Went on a walk, stumbled upon a girl with headphones on. Complimented her. Shook her fucking hand again as if im in a business meeting. She said she was in a hurry and that was that. It was bad. Didn't even like her. I just wanted to tell myself I can approach girls.
Today. Two potential approaches. Not once did I approached because cowardice. Perfect scenario couldn't be better. Both were alone (wouldn't even think about it if they were among people or in a group). My mind went berserk and told me how much of a failure I am and that my all my efforts are worthless.
Tl;dr. 2 attempts. 2 failures. Self- loathing stops me from approaching. Too much of a coward. Potentially unlikeable to women no matter the effort.
So, in regards to all of that, I plan going on a party in a club/cafe tomorrow and hope I can approach a woman or two. Anyone has any advice?
