So I can approach (usually.. I get AA still but I can do it), but I have a hard time staying in the set. Example: Tonight I approached two girls, and I was fucking in with them... but the second it got awkward I went over to talk to a friend, and then sort of forgot about them. Needless to say they then ignored me the rest of the night.

I eject the second things get awkward. How do you push through, and what can you do to smooth over those awkward lulls?
