systematic desensitization

Approach Anxiety. i always get it. i saw one of my friends start to hit on a chick and i tried to be wingman. i showed her a magic trick and she said that it was impressive. i told her that my friend taught it to me. turns out she was his new girlfriend and that i was just being annoying. bummer.

i could've opened a 3-set with a target but i didn't. it was a loud venue. need help with game for loud venues. i danced on the dance floor which i've heard is a trap and made a fool of myself. got tons of ioi's but refused to ask any girl to dance. at least it desensitized me to feeling like an idiot and approaching girls.

still, i couldn't help but feel like a big dlv. couldn't quite peacock as well as i would have liked. any advice or wisdom?
