i I wanted to offer my 2 cents on the "anxiety around women" part of this. It sounds like you don’t do the correct amount of eye contact. If you stare into a lady's eyes too much, you will really freak her out. If you don't look into her eyes enough, she will think you are trying to hide something. Either way, she won't feel safe, and you won't get what you want. THE best places to go to work this out are Twin Peaks and Hooters. Hooters is usually better, because the music is quieter, making it easier to talk to the waitresses. I invented a little game that I play when I go there:
The ground rules are that I am not going to "hit on" her. I can't touch her anywhere except gently on her hand. I can't call her "babe", "chick", or anything other then her name. I can’t use some silly line to break the ice like: “Are you from Tennessee?” I need to find out at least one thing about her that I didn’t know before. (Things like where she is from, how she likes working there, If she likes to watch football, etc.) I score myself based on how comfortable she seemed to be, and how much she seemed to like me. Sometimes I even flip over the customer copy of my receipt, and write a brief description of her, and that one thing that I found out about her. This helps me remember, if I get her again next time. A few more tips:
Try to smile, and look happy.
Go when it isn’t so busy.
Tip generously.
Go on different days, and sit in different places, to try to meet all the girls that work there. Don’t get too comfortable with just the one girl.
Don’t worry if she dosen’t respond positively. It could be you, or it could be her. She may just be having a bad day.
Remember you goal is just to get her to feel safe, and to "like" you, not to end up in bed with her. This takes a lot of the pressure away.
There are a lot of books on how to meet people, and how to make friends. Get one of those, they will have a lot more tips on how to get her to “like” you.
Once you gain the confidence that you can meet a lady, and get her to feel safe, and to like you, then you can go back to providers. You can continue practicing on these girls in the more intimate settings. Hopefully you live near a Hooters, like I said it’s the best, because they hire outgoing girls, who like to meet new people, and they encourage them to interact with the customers
