subject: How To Beat Approach Anxiety [print this page] Okay guys Approach Anxiety or (AA) is when you cannot approach a woman for fear of rejection.
We have all at some point gone through this from not being able to maintain eye contact to not knowing what to say.
The most effective technique for combating this isThink FUN, NOT outcome.
What this means is instead of going out and thinking of an outcome, such as approaching girls, getting phone numbers, having an f-close, concentrate instead on just enjoying yourself, as when you are clearly having a great time it is so much easier to communicate with other people.
I personally believe that this is the most important aspect of your game (how can you get a girl without approaching?) - i have found the most effective way to combat this is similar to the social tornado, except that you circle a venue and simply approach EVERYONE who looks like they are having fun.
Simply saying hi, smiling and walking away is enough, now by the second time you circle and meet the people you just said hi to they are more likely to stop and talk to you, this then helps your social status.
Once you are getting comfortable meeting strangers and getting along with them you will find AA starting to affect you less and less most of the time you will find you enjoy meeting new people more and more.
Another way you could try and combat this is by trying some standard openers and just running your game however im not a fan of canned openers just approach and talk about whatever it works better than some memerised lines .
In short there are no short cuts the best way to beat your fear is to face it head on - simply approach before you have managed to talk yourself out of the approach as you will if you sit and ponder.
Next time you go out remembr 1 simple think DONT THINK just approach while you are having a good time and dont allow you to talk yourself out of a great night and meeting a new girl.
