Hey guys! Long time lurker here on this sub first time posting. Excuse me for the formatting and what not.

On the sub there's always mentions about not giving a fuck and how to get rid of anxiety during approaching. Especially if it be on street or bus stop or school or wherever.

Here's what works for me: It's usually easy to say just don't give a fuck when going up and talking to a girl, or what's the worst that's going to happen? Or there's plenty of fish in the sea. Or get out of your comfort zone. How does one go about getting out of their comfort zone. The game changer for me was just getting into the right zone and approaching as many girls as I could. How to get in the zone? Do weird stuff. Do jumping Jack's in the washroom, make small talk with the girl making you a coffee. Yell as loud as you can. Sing. Do stuff that's weird and uncomfortable. Stuff that'll get your heart up and get you sweating a little bit. Start complimenting people randomly.

Why it works: just like how you wouldn't attempt to bench press and set a pr first thing when you walk into the gym. You can't just go up and talk to the girl you want. You have to warmup. Doing stuff that's uncomfortable will warm you up. Once you get your heart rate up and have interacted with a few people it's much easier to not only approach a girl but also keep a conversation going. Obviously when you have a little bit of alcohol in your system it makes it easier to approach. However there are numerous situations when you see the girl that you want and it's in a public setting. If you can't muster up the balls to talk to her try doing some mental exercises first. Go talk to somebody working at a kiosk and carry a conversation. Tell somebody they look good in that shirt. Heck even talk to a girl you don't really find attractive and just say weird stuff.

I hope this helps for some people out there. This approach works amazing for me and I've never had an issue with approaching girls and getting their numbers when I'm in my zone. I can't just do it randomly I have to mentally prepare myself. But once I feel like I'm ready then I can approach 100 girls in a row and won't feel even a hint of shyness. Hope this helps, sorry if the wording or formatting is wrong.
