The more I try and open...

Bitches,

Your location says Austin. If you are in this area I highly recommend coming to the meet tomorrow(Friday Night). There are going to be a lot of people there who can just watch you and give you pointers.

Others have said maybe it stems all the way down to your look and how you are presenting yourself. I have a feeling this is also the case. If you do make it out wear exactly what you wore out the last time you didn't have success.

Bitches, any time you want to make the trip to Shreveport we can help you get over that AA you feel. Just send me a PM and let me know when you want to come up.

A matter of terminology: to me, opening means opening successfully. Specifically, reaching the hook point, where you're in some sort of conversation.

What Westfall calls "opening", I would call "attempting to open", and I would agree, if you are unable to attempt to open, then AA is pretty much the only culprit.

For the most part I concur with this, but I don't think the issue is reaching the hook point, but rather AA , or being inhibited with regard to attempting to open...

Of course it is also possible to initiate a conversation with a girl, and find her undersirable before you reach the hook point. Perhaps she DLVs herself by not responding in a way a girl you would desire would respond...

In which case, my advice would be if you want to get good at opening, the first step would be making attempting to open no big deal, you really shouldn't even take getting blown out personally or even consider it negative. Consider that a girl cannot really reject you based on a 1 minute interaction with you, because she cannot fully get to know you in that small amount of time--, it's not you she's rejecting it's your opener....

I recomend choosing openers that screen out girls you don't desire...
