Obviously the idea is that the more you approach, the better (less) your AA gets.

I was thinking about this earlier and I've realised that my AA has actually gotten steadily WORSE over time!

I remember my first ever cold approach after reading magic bullets, and I bowled over too a group of girls and pretended to be the tinder date of the girl that I liked. I pulled her, too.

Compare that too a year later, and I pussied out of opening 90% of the hot girls I saw last night.

I'd look at her, picture me opening with various lines I'd rurn though in my head, and EVERY SINGLE OPENER just sounded 'weird' in my head if that makes sense, and thus I imagined a bad reaction, and then failed to open.

Like I was at the bar and there's 5 gorgeous girls all chatting next to me and I thought ''Cool. I'll say 'Hey girls? Having a fun night???'...yeah, and then they'll all look at each other as if to say ''who the hell is this weirdo?!''.

Then I saw another girl and imagined delivering an opinon opener and then imagine getting a bad reaction. Then imagined going direct and thinking that it just sounded super lame and cheesy.

Struggling a bit at the moment!

Opening has always been my biggest hurdle as I APPEAR to actually have a fairly respectable amount of 'game' once i'm past that initial awkward 30 seconds or whatever, but I rarely get to practice as I either don't open, or I DO open, get insta-rejected, and then that fuels my AA!

I'm guessing i'm not the only one. Maybe it's like how kids are generally very brave and extroverted etc until they get that confidence taken from them and then become shy or whatever instead of 'growing' in confidence with age.
