Introduction: I believe that approach anxiety is REAL. However, it should not STOP you from doing your approaches. While many people fear rejection their biggest hurdle tends to be their inability to talk with strangers. Hence, after you get on your Rockstar outfits it should give you a small confidence boast. This boast can be further increased by following the tips in this guide Read my detailed thoughts on Cold Approach: In-depth Thoughts

1-Listen to exciting music on your way to the venue

On my way to the park, I usually listen to Sleigh Bells they are a noise pop band from Brooklyn. They tend to sing mostly noisy songs with titles like, "Infinity Guitar" or "Crown on the Ground." My favorite lyric is, "Did you do your best today?" Their songs put me in a good mood as well as motivate me to try my best.

2-Talk to your Uber Driver

One of the best ways to loose up is to talk to your Uber driver on your way to the venue. I'm going to assume you are on your way to the park. You can start talking to your Uber driver. Most drivers tend to be friendly and want to get to know their passagers. One time, I left my comedy class in LA and I got into an Uber. On my Uber my driver starting tell me crazy stories about driving attractive women in his car to exclusive Hollywood parties. Hearing stories about other people makes you see the "grand scope" as opposed to thinking you are alone in your journey. You see the "interconnectedness" of the city.

3- Go to coffee shop and talk with the Baristas

Many PUA Gurus miss out on this practical tips that people with years of experience have. For instance, sometimes when I used to go to Madison Square Park, I would stop at the nearby Starbucks and hang out there for a while. Service workers are excellent people to talk since they many are friendly and want to get to know their clients. Especially, if you give them tips. Moreover, some might be attractive women themselves so its a win-win, you get to practice while get a good tea and croissant.

4-Ask for directions to random people

This rule is another, "trick of the trade" after you start going out you learn to chat up with stranger. One of the great insights I've had was when I noticed that locals were friendly towards tourists who were asking for directions. Hence, I started asking random directions and talking to more and more people. The whole endeavor felt like a "warm up" before I started to approach attractive women.

5- Ask for directions to attractive women

Once you get used to talking to random strangers. Why not start asking for directions to attractive women. The women to will have to friendly with you due to, "Common courtesy." I didn't know about this concept before, however, I noticed that most people will try to be friendly to you since t makes their city look good, it'll be strange for them to be outright rude. Most importantly you'l get desensitize to talking to attractive women hence next time you talk to an attractive woman you will be ready.

Conclusion: I almost never Cold Approach during Daygame at random. I always do all these, "Tricks of the Trade" the whole ordeal might take 25m to 1h depending on how I am feeling. Once you get comfortable with doing these rituals, you'll experience less and less approach anxiety.
