First time post, long time lurker. I have big time approach anxiety and it took alto of reading from posters with alot of knowledge about just being yourself, not getting tied up in the thoughts of self doubt.

I was desperate to get out last weekend, single father, and don't get out much. I hit up the local gas station crew and went out with them, first time thing, figured what the hell.

I met some of the local women, definitely HB7 in the Mix.

Had fun, got out, posted on CL earlier that night, and one random chick replied. Cross referenced to Facebook and found she was not as flattering as her picture led her out to be.

I wanted to bail! But I remembered the post today "Lesson 2 Alpha Body Language". It drove me to just go for it, no desire to get laid, just someone to hang out with. She may have been the most attractive or intellegent, but it really gave me a reason to try, because I didnt fucking care! It was awesome!

Feels good to be a confident man again :)

TLDR: Dude lurks seddit for super long time, does a test run, has fun with it, doesn't [adjective] something below his standards, is moving on to the locals :)
