So I was walking back from uni and felt a surge of confidence and not giving a fuck so I thought fuck it let me cold approach.

The first I walked past a girl into a H&M and almost flaked but then I thought what’s the wist that could happen. So I approached and asked if she was from the area as I’m new here and wanted to know if there was anything going on for the bank holiday weekend.

She was very cold and said no to everything so I closed and walked off.

I saw her again like 5 minutes after with another guy so I’m guessing it was her boyfriend, idk.

After that I went into a fragrance shop and noticed a girl look at me a few times. Again I thought fuck it so I talked to her about women’s fragrances as I was getting it as a present.

I asked where she was from originally and again if she was from around here. She said yes and she was also a student. I asked if there was anything going on and she said yeah there was a club night on Sunday. I asked if she was going to which she said yes and then I said “oh ok cool let me get your number then”. So she gave me her number and I said I’d text her. I was ecstatic at the time and for hours after because it was so foreign to me. It's now Sunday morning and I’ve messaged her a bit since but haven’t planned to meet up tonight.

I just had 2 questions:

  1. I still have approach anxiety, I couldn’t bring myself to approach whilst I was out yesterday, how can I overcome this?

  2. From my FR any feedback/where to go next?

Thanks Seddit!
