And it was absolutely frightening haha. I've been on the path to becoming a better man and tonight was a night when I was the only one free. I decided to go out to the bars in the center of my town and try to condition my AA. Safe to say, I froze up when I saw a jam packed bar playing loud music full of women. Intimidated, I ended up going to another bar that was much quieter and saw a 4 set with two girls and two guys. After seeing the guys talk to these girls, I froze up again and sat a seat away from the two girls. After 10 minutes at the bar with a drink, the guys left to play pool and I introduced my self with an extremely nervous demeanor and excused myself for my nervousness. I know, everything you see here is making you cringe. However, after the introduction with the two girls, we had a very interesting conversation and I even vibed with one of them. The set I opened was extremely sloppy but I think I learned that I have to sack up and initiate right away if I want to look natural. It's definitely a grind to get better but I'm sure I'll be desensitized in no time..
