Don't forget the fundamentals.

IF! You feel akward HOLDING EYE CONTACT .
TALKING TO NEW PEOPLE HAVE POOR BODY LANGUAGE
FREL WEIRD SMILING AT SOMEBODY.

Holding eye contact will be quite linked to every other tip down below so this will be short.

-The one who looks away first loses. That's it. It's a game. You're playing a friendly fame of who will look away first (this will help massively when you're looking at someone you find attractive and feel attraction) . Now you'll have repetitions under your belt. Don't look away!

If you can be the one that looks away last in all your new interactions you have to reward yourself for good behavior. Reward your own good behavior. You're gonna treat yourself like a dog on this one. Reward reward reward.

Talking to new people - either you go to a shopping mall. And pretend you're going to buy shit. And just walk around all the fucking stores with either clothes or stuff you like and just TALK. Don't go on autopilot. Now you're making a conscience decision to talk. That's not the same as you'd go shopping with a shopping agenda. Now YOU have to be social. Luckily. You can always fall back on "oh I need help with this"

So go around talk to every staff member possible and just try to make small talk and ask for advice.

Later on you can start asking other customers "hey do you think this will work on me? Sorry to bother but you seem to have great style" or "what would recommend haha I'm so bad at..."

you can be overly apologizing and humble since... You're only practicing talking. There's no rejection here. Just talk.

OR

Take a chair. Place it right at the bar. And sit down with a drink.

Every person you see that looks FRIENDLY you say HI too!

If they respond positively. Just say. "hey I think you look great in that dress /shirt/ shoes Whatever. Just compliment them and then turn your attention to the bartender (who you'll make your comrade for the night. (Unless the bartender is a douche. Tip quite well. Be nice and it will serve you well later)

You only said those things to be nice to them and practice TALKING. Not to get her number or fuck her. Say something nice. - Wish her a good night and continue on taking with your friend the bartender if he's available and don't have customers. This will make it seem like you are a regular and are treated well and are well liked. Even this is a process to connect with the staff. But it's a good investment.
1. Say hi 2. Compliment and wish them a good night 3. Direct your attention elsewhere unless they start engaging you.

Now for drinks! You're only allowed to have 2 drinks. Rest of the night you drink SODA WITH A LKME! It will look like you're drinking a vodka soda so you don't seem like the weird sober guy.

You're not gonna be dependent on alcohol. But you're allowed to have two so you'll be warmed up. But then you're out. UNLESS a girl wants to buy you one. Girls rarely buy. Take the opportunity.

I usually talk to guys and girls who smile. Because if I meet them again. I want the guys to amplify that I'm a great fun guy who everybody knows. For some reason girls respond to a guy who is known by everybody. Even if it's just on name level basis. And I also want to have volume. Speak to as many strangers as possible. Practice practice practice

At the very least 3 new people a day. If you want to go fast. Make it 20!!

Body language

It will take some time. Since it will mostly be connected to your inner confidence. It was that for me at least

But there's a cheat cheat.

Go on YouTube. And find whatever videon on 👇 Harvey specter Tom cruise Don draper Robert Downey Jr

And chose the one that speaks to YOU the most. It's supposed to be close to the who you want to be. We're just speeding up the process by looking at someone you already like and "admire ". It's called modeling.

Copy the way they walk. Stand. Sit. Just try it out. Try it out. And NEVER fidget!!

If you feel weird smiling at people because you are ugly or have a bad smile. I know what it's like..haha and it sucks.

YouTube Ian somerhalder - smirk.

Practice that. Until it's comfortable.

Later in you'll be able to hold eye contact with a little smirk all together and girls who are into you will love it.

This post is for the socially akward guys. Don't worry about pickup yet. Focus on being comfortable just existing. Breath!
