I'll keep it brief, but this is my Achilles heal when it comes to first meeting/approaching women. I'm coming to realize that no matter how much I work I put on losing weight and toning up it hasnt really changed my success when venturing on. I say on my own because when I'm introduced at a party or something similar I have confidence and I can get by. One thing I've started to try is simply not breaking eye contact with women in public. I know that sounds creepy, but my natural instinct is to look away and I want to change that and take control. Can anyone else suggest some small steps I can try to help build my confidence? Thank you in advance.
