Today was a pretty big step for me. For the first time, I did a cold approach. I’ve been wanting to overcome my social anxiety, and I figured today was as good as any day to start.

There was this British exchange student at the grocery store here in Spain. I noticed her from the moment I walked in. She had that kind of vibe that made me think, "I could probably talk to her." So, I decided to go for it.

I’ve been watching a lot of Andrew Tate stuff lately, so I figured I’d try one of his pickup lines. I went up, told her she was cute, and asked for her Instagram. Honestly, it felt awkward. It wasn’t smooth, and I could tell she wasn’t super into it. She was polite, though, and just said she didn’t give out her Instagram like that.

Didn’t work out, obviously. But honestly, I’m not upset. It’s weirdly freeing to just go for it, even if it doesn’t lead anywhere. I used to be terrified of doing anything like that, but today, I just did it. I broke the barrier.

She was nice, at least, and didn’t brush me off completely. The fact that I approached her in the first place was a big win for me. My social anxiety is a monster I’ve been trying to tackle for years, and this feels like a small victory, even if the outcome wasn’t what I hoped.

So yeah, not a success in terms of getting her number or anything, but I feel good about taking that first step. It’s a win in my book, and I’ll keep trying.

under 6’2= Sexual harassment/creepy
Above 6’2= charisma/confidence
I'm grateful that I'm 6'2, but it's a shame my face doesn't match up, LOL.

Even though things didn’t go as planned, I’m proud of myself for stepping up and facing my fears. It's all about progress, not perfection, right?
 
Every man that has ever ''cold approached'' a woman or DMd her first is a cuck.

If you don’t take the first step, you’ll stay a foreveralone loser, simple as that.

The first approach always feels good. You're happy you overcame your fears and did it.

The 120th+ approach starts to wear down on you, and with each successful rejection you question more and more, what could possible be wrong with you. You will feel a soul crushing pain like nothing you can currently imagine.
