I'm sure it's been discussed a thousand times over, and the same set of tips, tricks and suggestions have been passed around and done to death but.... my problem is still the initial approach.

I want to talk to more people and flirt with more women and ask them out but I keep getting held back by approach anxiety, or at the very least approach nervousness.

I make eye contact, smile warmly, have great banter, and am really funny. I can go in cold, or use a half page bullet points of conversation steering and so far I'm bringing my fail/pass rate down to generally 10 to 1 for getting a date but I still truly truly struggle with the the approach nerves.

Please advise. Anyone got any pearls of wisdom that I may not have heard yet, or a string of words that literally clicks everything into place for me.

Thanks.xoxo
