MY "AHA" MOMENT - APPROACH ANXIETY KILLER
Opening has been ten times easier than usual, and once you read about the *AHA* light bulb moment that made it so, you too will be instantly approaching with significantly less anxiety...
I'd just landed in Vegas and as I stepped off of the plane, I spotted a group of girls around my age.
They were laughing and having a great time. What luck, still in the airport and I'd found the exact kind of people I wanted to chill with on this trip.
I reminded myself, "They too are on vacation, looking to meet people and have a great time.”
Sure enough, the set opened with no problems. It turned out we were even staying in the same hotel. We exchanged numbers and agreed to meet up in the city that night.
This was the first of many successful approaches my trip would bring.
There were cool, fun people everywhere, and whenever I saw them I would think "They too are on vacation, looking to meet people and have a great time," and every set blew open with ease.
My little mind trick even helped me to open a girl whose beauty literally made me light headed from a single glance.
She was hanging around outside of the nightclub at the Luxor Hotel. From talking with her for a while I found we were into all the same comedians and had a similar sense of humor.
After teasing each other back and forth for a little, she had me hooked on her wit. I wanted to find out more. What was her name? What did she do for a living?
From my lessons at Stylelife I knew it was the right time to ask (up front these questions are terrible game killers, but it's OK once we'd gone through all the steps to build mutual attraction with each other).
I asked why she was visiting Vegas, she told me that she wasn't, she lived here. The words I spoke to myself before I approached flashed into my mind:
"She is on vacation, looking to meet people and have a great time." I'd had it all wrong, she wasn't on vacation at all. Then suddenly *IT* clicked.
I'd been confidently claiming to myself that each set was opening so well since they were on vacation. It was a lame justification.
I'm a fun, interesting guy, who any sensible minded girl would love to hang with, on vacation or not.
Once I recognized it, and removed it, my approaches still felt effortless and still opened easily and consistently.
When approaching women now, I remind myself of a much simpler truth:
"She too is looking to meet people and have a great time.”
