Default Re: "chatting up" females - my ultimate problem

I can relate to a lot of what you are saying. Over the past few years my SA has improved significantly yet when it comes to women i'm still stuck in neutral! Fear of rejection combined with an overwhelming sense that my object of affection could do better than me are the main sticky points for me!! Oh add in a complete lack of experience too at the age of 25!

If you are confident of chatting to females then maybe you should try different avenues. Speed dating? Take a couple of mates along...meet some girls...this way you are talking to strangers..but straight away have a common topic to chat about (the event itself)...then at the afterparty you can talk to someone you got along with and get their number. No anxiety about the approach and the flirting may come naturally as you build rapport. It's a theory i have no affirmative practical results to talk of as i haven't had the bottle yet!!
