There are alot of threads like this, but I;d appreciate a personal answer. That being said here goes: I;m friends with a girl who;s friends with a girl that I find cute. Now naturally I want to approach this girl, however I pussied out so I asked my friend to introduce me to her (now is this in itself a bad approach or does it give u some level of social proof?). At lunch I had the oppurtunity to go up to the table where the two were sitting and I didn;t because of fear its so frustrating. I think the most frustrating part of my situation is that I took David D;s advice and became friends with 5 really hot intelligent girls, so I believe and want that level of women, but my fear stops me. So advice on the type of girl i should go for, conquering fear in this specific situation, and what to do when ur really not feeling the mack would be appreciated. Also I think over the summer since i didn;t sarge my confidence dropped, so could the fact that i still need to make my first approach of the yr be draining my confidence because i was out of the game. THANKS
