I went out downtown. I chose a storytelling event at a local bar since I thought it would be easier to approach there - but I ended up literally not approaching a single person. I had this feeling it wasn't going to happen for sure, so I went home. I have no idea how to work from here other than to just rinse and repeat next time, and hope that I can bring myself to at least attempt an approach.

If I learned one thing, it's that this is the worst kind of failure. I would have chosen being brave enough to just go for it with at least one girl I saw around over this shit. Don't do what I did - go for the approach and see what happens. I'll have another go soon.
