Back to the basics

This is the very first principle of Game a man has to accept: be proactive, not reactive. If you see an attractive girl, don't wait for "the right moment", but go and talk to her. Start with "hello". This is not necessarily with an eye to getting her number or finding out if she is taken, but simply to get oneself into the habit of speaking to attractive women as a matter of course. It's really not that hard.

If you're a single man, set a goal of approaching and speaking to seven female strangers this week. That's just one per day. Nothing fancy, no pressure, just going up and speaking to them, even if it's only to ask them the time. The objective is for it to become so natural that you will no longer suffer approach anxiety when you come across a woman in whom you are actually interested.

One common rut people, including me, get into is living their life avoiding situations which are uncomfortable or awkward. This is a self-limiting behavior.

When you first start playing a guitar, your fingers hurt the first couple of weeks playing until you develop calluses. For uncomfortable and potentially awkward situations, you need to develop an emotional callus (callus, not callous).

A great way to become comfortable with something is by daily exposure. This is a goal achieving technique which I extend beyond being able to approach women. Daily action creates habits which in turn achieves goals.

What is your current sticking point as you move down the Red Pill path? (You do have a next step, don't you?) What daily action can you take which, over time, will get you past this sticking point? (Think: What can I do to best position myself for success?)

I'm not looking for you to post your answers to the above questions. But if you need help with next steps or wish to discuss you answers, feel free.
