As a beginner improving myself (inner game) I realised how my mentality and thoughts while gaming have massively improved over the last 3 months.

It is very true when talking to girls her friend(s) decide if the girl you like gets to go home with you, but if you are like me still being bogged down by AA, as simple as it sounds it's all about being bold and brave.

If you cannot be these things then you are automatically cockblocking yourself even before her friends can decide.

Personally i find it difficult to be brave and escalate or be flirtatious in physicality because I get too much in my head but it is a matter of fact of overcoming your own disbeliefs.

Hope this helps!
