I'm aiming for 250 cold approaches by the end of the year. All of these will be day, as I don't drink (I have nothing against it, though). Last week, I did over 30, a little over what I need to do each week. My first two objectives in approaching are (1) learn to reduce the anxiety in approaching and (2) learn to extend and converse with girls post an approach.

I'd like to use this as a weekly log to follow what I've learned in approaching, socializing and improving myself (as well as my twitter). Plus, with it being open to a community, I may receive some feedback I would have never thought of, which regardless of how harsh it is, will lead to improvement. Since I'm trying to start my second side business, I'll use this to post anything I've learned about that as well. Finally, of my first manosphere articles will be going up within two months, so that'll be awesome.

Just a quick background on myself - many of my friends would think that I am the "natural" of the group because most of them have only had 1-2 girlfriends (lifetime). I've been with 8 girls and had 4 LTR girlfriends (lifetime), nothing to boast about at all, but to my friends, that's a lot. In reading articles stating"you are the average of your five closest friends," I see that I don't really know what's possible because it appears to my friends that I'm doing well and this has affected me more than I'd like. On top of that, part of life is being part of a community that shares your interests and many of my friends don't have any interest in improving their dating lives - they just want to get married someday and hope they find someone.

Update

Closing in on 100 cold approaches the last four weeks with the initial goal of making approaching comfortable. I am much less nervous than I was when I started, as LaidNYC mentioned would be the case.

I also met up with one of the ROK writers, and saw how he interacted with girls - very dominant and playful. I saw how I could improve my interactions. For the next four weeks, I want to expand on what I've built by:

Increasing the amount of approaches (aim to double).
Aim for having fun and playful interactions with no "goal" in mind.
Identify where I feel most comfortable and use that as my go-to place.
