My story is the same as most people here, 18yr old virgin never had a gf etc. I decided to do somethibg about this. So I went to the mall this evening and it was packed and really busy. Loads of hot girls, in fact it was rather overwhelming, plus loads of guys from my school which I was slightly intimidated by. As soon as I reached the mall I panicked, sat down at the food court and opened up /r/seduction . I immediately read through all the top posts over and over again. I know all of the theory, in fact I know it so well I could teach it to someone. After a while I decided to walk around, struggled to hold eye contact with bypassers and felt really shitty. Walked around the entire mall at least 6 times. Eventually I got so frustrated with myself I went to buy a pack of cigarettes and ended up smoking half the pack.

I had at least 6 perfect opportunities all of which I wasted. It was either go tto the mall or sit at home and play video games. I feel as if my entire night out was a waste. I've literally read everything this sub has to offer plus the pinned info and videos and STILL can't gather thee courage to approach.

Going to try again tomorrow at the uni campus, but I'm really at a standstill. I'm not sure what's my problem but I'm afraid of eye contact, I look at a hot chick and moments after looking at her my eyes dart away, usually towards the floor. Would appreciate any advice, really want to improve this. Just being able to talk to anyone about anything
