Here is a little background:

I found trp about 2 years ago. When I first started I exclusively used tinder because I had so much social anxiety and had moderate success. Eventually I ended up in a LTR with a spanish girl that I worked with (bad move I know) for about a year. For awhile everything was great, good sex, she cleaned, cooked etc. Eventually I broke frame and the cooking/cleaning stopped and I cut it off because I knew I could do better.

Lessons learned: I didnt approach girls while in this LTR Never break frame

After this year of the LTR I would overthink approaching, and fear up, and be mad at myself for not even trying. I'm very lucky to live in Florida a mile away from the beach, with a plethora of women here in bikinis year round.

Today I was just minding my own business and a group of 4 girls were doing a "photoshoot" about 20 feet away on the beach. They were a 6, 7, 7, and 9. I walked up to the 9 and here was the conversation:

Me: let me take a picture of all you guys 9: we're more into individual shots (shit test) Me: Are you guys on vacation? 9: Yeah we're from boston Me: Did you guys get turned up last night 9: Yeah haha(She brought up some spots they went out to) how old are you Me: 28 9: Oh ok Me:How old are you 9: 21 Me oh well we should go out 9: I have a flight tomorrow morning (failed shit test) Me: Alright, dont freeze to death in boston 9: haha nice to meet you.

So she rejected me and I didn't even care. The logistics of it wouldn't have worked out anyway as I worked until 2am that night. I probably could have handled it better and got her # but I was happy I tried.

Things to remember:

YOU ARE THE PRIZE Girls are so relient on dating apps, if you cold approach your success rate will be a lot higher. How important is one interaction out of your entire life
