Approach Anxiety is one of the hardest challenges for men to overcome in their dating journey.
I remember the first time I saw guys on Youtube approaching women and making it look so easy.
I thought to myself "I can do that too!"
So I went out to my local mall to test it out.
Two hours later I had approached ZERO women.
Turns out it wasn't as easy as they made it look.
So I looked for as many solutions on how to beat approach anxiety as I could.
I found breathing techniques, mindfulness techniques, mindset shifts, mental reframing, accountability, rehearsing the approach, etc...
I tried some of these out to varying degrees of success, but there was only one ultimate solution that finally helped me get over the barrier:
"Just sack up and do it"
Believe me, I hated this answer as much as you do.
The problem with this answer is it cuts right to the core of the problem, leaving no space for our excuses.
We like to overcomplicate our issues because it gives us a sense of justification.
It's not MY fault, I just haven't found the secret solution yet!
But the simple solution is almost always the best solution.
Armed with my new solution, I went out and tried it again.
I remember the first approach I ever did was the hardest, at least from a fear perspective.
My adrenaline was pumping so hard I felt like I was skydiving.
I literally felt that "drop" in the pit of my stomach.
Then I was hooked.
A rush of dopamine and adrenaline flooded my brain.
And the only way I could get more was to do more approaches.
Over time, approaching became "boring"
It was just something I did.
The more I practiced, the less anxiety I felt.
The same way it works with everything in life.
Approach anxiety goes away AFTER you approach, not before.
You can't get rid of it before you approach.
Take the Nike approach and "Just Do It"
Approach 25 girls per day for a month and you'll forget what approach anxiety feels like.
When you're free from anxiety, your conversations will flow effortlessly.
