I have a question for you. I was actually discussing this with a playa friend of mine earlier.
I've enjoyed your advice on approach anxiety and find it to be very true and helpful, but…the one way I've really been helped with the approach is by mentally rehearsing the interaction going well. I've learned to do that before I approach rather than thinking up the many excuses and all imagining it all going bad like I used. Hey, sometimes that still happens.

The problems I'm facing now are the off-chances of when a woman approaches me or leaves an opening for me to approach. Part of the shock of being approached seems to completely freeze me.
The fact no-one really talks about what to do when the girl approaches you means I have no plan which makes me less confident.
The infrequancy of these events means I don't get to 'practice' at it and become comfortable with it.

I want to feel prepared for the next time this happens.
Here are a few examples:-

1. I chill back with my bro's having a drink. I see a beautiful lady dancing. We make eye contact. She walks off the dance floor until she is right next to me and dances right in front of me
- my thought processes "is she dancing for me?"
"am I supposed to play it cool and let her impress me or grab her and caveman her? - would grabbing her be low value and needy? would hanging back and just appreciating her be more abundant and prove I don't need her? What if I mess it up?" after dancing infront of me for a bit she looks at my friend, then back at me and then leaves. I presume I 'accidentally rejected' her.

2. A girl in the street during the day walks up to you and asks you to take a picture of her next to something (or for a cigerrette or some other favour)
-I always feel 'tooled' but I'm a nice guy so I normally comply. My mind goes blank because I don't want to start off with cheesey "so your a tourist" questions and her asking for a photo doesn't necessarily mean attraction.
-What's the best way to be flirty but not creepy in this situation?
