Most limitations are in our head. They are mental constructs we create as excuses not to take action. By simply taking action, these barriers are pushed to the side.

I had a friend who was a girl who I was interested in turning into a friends with benefits relationship. But I didn't know how to do it. I wanted to ask her, but I didn't want to ruin our friendship. I was afraid she would be offended. But I decided to ask her anyway. And she said yes. It was as easy as that. All that buildup in my mind was self created and didn't even matter. She wasn't offended, she simply said yes.

I see the same thing when going for a girl's number. Excuses are made why not to go in for a number. My friend didn't go for the number because he felt bad vibes from his previous approach. But that is just a mental block. He should have gone for the number anyway.
