A common problem amongst new swallowers seems to be the dreaded Approach Anxiety. Below is an outline you could follow to help break the response of anxiety. This is designed to be an outline, not a verbatim guide. Your Mileage May Vary.

A quick note before you begin:

If you cannot complete a week, or you miss a day, make it up the next day. If you miss 2 days in a row, you start that week over. If you cannot get any success with your current week, then try a different approach. That's why this is an outline, not a verbatim guide.

I also want to make very clear that these interactions with people are to be in public:

  • The grocery store

  • On the street

  • On the bus

Don't be an autistic fuck and slobber all overself during a new week and try this stuff during a secluded one-on-one kind of situation. Like, at night by the ATM, and shit like that. Don't do that.

WEEK 1

  • Every day, you will go out for a little while and find 5 people, and ask them the time.

  • On the 7th day, you're only to approach the very good looking women. If you can't find them, then you keep looking until you find them.

WEEK 2

  • You will approach 5 people and tell them that you like some article of clothing that they are wearing, and ask where they got it. If you continue the conversation beyond the initial response - good on you. Bonus points if you get them to smile.
  • On the 7th day, you are only to approach very good looking women.

WEEK 3

This is where it starts to get hard. Buck up, boy

  • Every day you're going to make 5 people smile. You approach someone who's either neutral or looking rather dour, and you make them smile. Whether it's a one-liner, or a small joke, or a quick compliment - just make them smile.

  • On the seventh day, you're only to approach - you guessed it - very attractive women. You have to make 5 very attractive women smile

WEEK 4

  • Every day you will get a personal piece of information from 2 people. It could be something simple like their favorite color. What they had for lunch. What kind of coffee they prefer. Doesn't matter, just anything will do. Here's the caveat: You must make them offer it up without directly asking for the personal information bit. You have to make them think that it was their idea to offer that piece of information up themselves. You can't directly ask for it. Good luck.

  • On the 7th day, very attractive women only.

WEEK 5

  • Every day you will get someone to give you an object. But you can't have paid for it. It could be a coin, a card, a button, a hairpin. It doesn't matter what it is.

  • On the seventh day, you can only ask very attractive women.

WEEK 6

  • Every day you'll get someone to give you something, however, you are not allowed to directly ask for the object/item. You must convince them to give you that object/item of their own free will.

  • Get that pretty girl to think it's her idea to give you something.

WEEK 7

  • Well shit, you just got 7 strangers to give you an item thinking it was their idea. Now you're ready. Go get phone numbers. Go start random conversations. Go talk to people. At this point, you should be golden.

This concludes my thought experiment and outline. I'm very open to ideas and editing.
