That's where it starts, by "doing approaches," going out to say hello to strangers. Even the most experienced PUA has to constantly do approaches.

I started by studying pickup techniques in books, videos, and audio mp3s. Then I went out to bars, concerts, and other public gatherings and approached people, gradually retraining myself in the skills needed to socialize with women. It's taken me a long time to rewire my old bad habits, it's a gradual process. But I still constantly study pickup materials, and go out and try them on people in public.

Start here. There's a reason we collected all this material in that place. It works. Study it. Learn it. Use it.

Talk to everyone, not just girls. To make it easy at first, you can just ask for the time, or just say hello. Talk to people in line, talk to anyone who walks past you on the sidewalk or in the hallway. Definitely strike up conversations with cashiers/waitresses/bartenders, people in the elevator, people at the coffee shop/bookstore, bums are always exciting, etc.

Always remember that nobody's judging you. They usually have their own shit to deal with, and are quite happy that you've approached them to distract them from their shitty lives.

Focus on your body language, posture, and voice. Make those better.

You don't always have to do this, but I also like to prepare for going anywhere by acting like I'm going to some huge event- shower, shave, do whatever else you need to do, even if you're just going to the mall or something. Wherever you're going, dress slightly better than everyone else. You'll automatically stand out a little, and if you're clean-cut and stylish, you naturally feel good about yourself, and you feel less awkward about talking to people.

It's all about confidence. Once you have that confidence, you can do just about anything. The only proven way to get that is to go out and practice talking to people (and then practice running game) until it becomes natural. And this may not work for you, but "fake it till you make it" is basically what I did. Just act super confident, like it's some sort of game, and then you don't have to take it so seriously and all of your interactions are less daunting.

the biggest pointer i can give you is try not to give a shit about whether you get the girl or not.

think of it in baseball terms; you get about 600 at bats in a full major league season. even the best of the best will only bat in 120 runs and have a .330 average. this means that 66 percent of the time you walk away from the plate with nothing and 85 percent of the time dont make it to see home plate (technically this is Runs not RBIs but you get the idea) you need to get used to the idea that you wont get every girl you try for. when you do, for some reason you get more of them.

the best exercise i can think of is approaching a girl who is way out of your league. the point of the exercise is you know the chances are slim so the pressure dissolves. you become infinitely more relaxed. this leads to a nice, calm, sometimes interesting conversation. Side bonus: sometimes you get the girl without meaning to. thats always fun
