Thank you guys for all the support and help, its finally starting to pay off. Tonight I went shagging( dancing) with a group of friends, both guys and girls (HB7s). It was my first time out and I was pretty nervous. But I thought about my inner game and how confidence is everything. So I quit worrying, and startes to dance. I danced with everyone in the group and got pretty good at it. Around this time I spot a girl(HB8) who is with what looks like her mother. I watch her mother try to teach her advanced moves and I can see she's also a novice. By this time I've already broken the three second rule, but that's only.because I'm waiting for the song to end. When the song ends I start to walk over but I get nervous, but then I tell myself to shut the fuck up and ask her to dance. She is nervous, but I assure her I'm worse than her and will go easy on her and she laughs and says yes. As we dance I get to know her. She's very pretty and extremely nice, but unfortunately I am leaving for college 4 hours away and she is staying here. This is when I decide not to number close only because I am looking for something a bit long term. I feel like I could have though. That's the point. You guys gave me the confidence in conjunction with the books I have been reading. I am extremely grateful and just wanted to thank everyone in this community. So anyways let me know how I did. What should I improve on, what did I do well?

Thanks in advance!

TL;DR: I gained confidence
