Hi seddit, I'm new to this sub (and seduction in general) and I have a problem. I'm a college student with bad social anxiety and no (read: literally none) experience with women beyond friendship. I've recently been working hard to fight the anxiety and pushing myself to approach girls, usually in bars/clubs. I've got fairly confident holding conversation with girls, but the problem is that there's nothing that differentiates these conversations from those I have with guys or with girls who are just friends. I don't know how to show a girl that I'm interested, and to change the dynamic from a friendly conversation to a more flirtatious one. I just get stuck in the loop of either boring small talk or the type of banter I'd have with my guy friends.

I just want to know what to say to express my interest without it coming across as too forward/creepy, and at what point in the conversation to do so (e.g. straight away, or after a few minutes, etc). I've approached a few girls at bars and made eye contact before offering to buy them a drink, but I've been rejected so far.

Any advice?
