Like many of you, I've always struggled with AA and many times would not approach a single girl all night because of it. I'm still not perfect, but I've found a simple way to take off the pressure and ease my fear of rejection. Right before I approach, I tell my friend, "want to watch me crash and burn" or "watch me get denied". I think it works because getting rejected is now part of the plan and not considered a failure anymore. I literally have nothing to lose now! If anything I get to joke about it with my friends after. Only twice since I started doing this have I been rejected right off the bat. Even if I don't end up getting the girl, I still successfully opened and gave myself the opportunity I wouldn't have had otherwise!
