Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. In this post, I want to clear up a doubt I've had. To begin with, for the past two years, I've wanted to try my luck with dating, whether in person, at night, or online (creating value on Instagram, Tinder, etc.), but I haven't made my first cold call. I've already read a lot of theory: what I should do, what to do when a girl "rejects" me, the mindset I should have, the energy I should project, my tone of voice and nonverbal communication, etc. I've learned all this theory very well, but the problem is that when it comes to putting it into practice, I'm simply afraid to approach anyone. I get nervous, and many things go wrong (and no, I haven't had any problems since childhood; I have the necessary self-esteem and I'm quite sociable, but I'm not a good conversationalist). Lately, I've been thinking that to truly understand this theory, you need a lot of practice to connect all the dots of the information you've learned. I feel like I've already thoroughly explored the theory, YouTube channels, and books on the subject, but if I stop practicing, I'll miss out on a lot of valuable information from the experts. So here's my question:

Should I temporarily stop watching all the new theories related to seduction (including YouTube channels, books, etc.) and start practicing a lot during the day, at night, or in online encounters? That way, after having, say, 1,000 interactions with strangers, or more, I can go back to studying the theory, connect all the dots, follow the experts' advice, and learn a lot more.

If you have any other advice you'd like to share, everyone in this community who might be facing the same problem would appreciate it. :D

Added: It would be great if people with experience in seduction could answer.
