Yesterday I was on the bus with a friend, we were the only ones on it, and at the next stop these two HB 8.5s get on. For the whole time I was telling myself that i was about to approach but just couldn't bring myself to do it. The same day some cute girl passed me and I smiled and she smiled back but I just couldn't approach here. I need some advice on how to lose this AA.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
My AA is preventing me from progressing

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

The bold is the problem. You are thinking too much, which is psyching you out. You need to approach as a natural reaction. I know it's easier said than done, but it still holds true.nesblu said:Yesterday I was on the bus with a friend, we were the only ones on it, and at the next stop these two HB 8.5s get on.

Most of the time AA stems from a fear of rejection. You wouldn't be nervous to approach someone if you didn't care about the outcome. So, you need to do 1 of 2 things: 1) Get rejected enough times it no longer bothers you, or 2) Change your thoughts on rejection in the first place.
Realize that getting rejected does nothing to you, unless you make it bother you. If you asked a stranger for $5 and they said 'no', would you spend the next 2 days crying about it? So if you ask a stranger for a phone number and they said 'no', big deal? You move on and find someone else to ask. Rejection has no intrinsic pain to it. The only way it hurts is if you let it. Try to become numb to it, or realize it's just part of the game.
Another thing is, when you see a girl, realize that in most cases, you've already seen her best side. Many times a very attractive girl will drop in value once you learn more about her. Whether it's because shes dumb as rocks, bad kisser, bad in bed, has a boyfriend she won't leave, or simply isn't your type.
So, instead of approaching a girl as "wow, she's beautiful! I would love a chance to take her out!"... think of it as "she's pretty cute, let's see if she fits what I'm look for". That way, you aren't putting her on a higher level than yourself. You are going into the situation as you should: looking for what YOU want. Not trying to give her what she wants.

Listen to the two above... solid advice...
Bottom line is, you really have nothing to lose.
You can also realize how you feel now.... you feel like crap.. and you're kicking your self in the head for not talking to those girls... you were with them on a buss and who knows if you'll ever see 'em again... you should have just approached and went for it... now you get to spend a few days thinking about it..
Solution: Think to your self "do I EVER wanna feel like this again?" If the answer is no, well guess what, there's good news: YOu don't have to! Next time just approach RIGHT AWAY.. I think the 3 second rule is pretty good because it just gets you away from overthinking the situation... as soon as you see her/them, go up RIGHT AWAY.. don't wait at all man, just go up..
So as already stated, the more you do it, the less you will care about it.. Think about it, if you only approach one girl per week, and that girl says no, then you're kinda stuck thinking about her a bit... however.. if you approach 20 girls, and you get only 4 numbers... are you gonna give a damn about the other 16 girls? Hell no! LOL you just got 4 numbers!!
Now do that 4 times a month, that's 16 numbers a month... if you follow up on these, be confident, and take the LEAD, you will soon be spinning multiple plates! :rockon:

Absolutely the mindset you have to adopt. Go into all situations believing no girl is above your own value.
