Re: [SocialFitnessForum] what to say? I'm at a loss for words.

Another approach would be to "work up to it". Start with
smaller goals and when you are comfortable, raise the
goal.

For instance, start with a good conversation with the
least intimidating woman you can find. Perhaps an older
clerk at the grocery store. If that is easy, or becomes
easy over time, raise the goal. Talk to somebody who
would be more like somebody you'd like to date. Keep
doing this goal-setting and practice process until you can
talk to anybody.

If you find you've picked a goal that is too high, drop
down to the previous goal that you completed and practice
a bit. Then find a goal that is halfway between the current
goal and the one that was too hard.

Hi Scott, Most people (including women) are pretty friendly when you show a casual interest in them -- so you might try to think of some questions in advance...
