Amazin: the discussion exactly about this is over here http://daygame.com/cafe/index.php/topic,313.0.html

see my b and e points.

a) I've never seen Yad go direct, only indirect(I have only seen few of his approaches, too few videos of him)
b) you can BE direct without SAYING something direct
c) I would use indirect like 'Hi. I like your xyz.'(=compliment) if I'd like to sleep with the girl but she isn't my type(but still hot) and direct on ones that are my type
d) a better looking woman will probably accept direct better than average looking woman
e) just go with your gut and don't think about it too much. find what suits you more. don't try to be Yad's twin.

By the way: I thought about this some time ago and today I just came to the same conclusion that not approaching can be caused by fear of success.
Here is a good article about this topic http://l-pawlik-kienlen.suite101.com/how-fear-of-success-works-a49666

After reading this I think this is my problem. Yours can be somethnig else of course.

Same here. http://daygame.com/cafe/index.php/topic,1124.msg5394.html
I've been going out to shopping malls for a week but without success so far(except today, I think I'll try streets more, since in malls there is too much bright light too much noise, very few single girls walking, etc..).

You should start by being more social with strangers. So ask for directions, shops, time, day, date... you can use you phone by holding it when you're asking for such things so the situation feels more real(you can say your battery popped out and your time settings has been reset).
Then try to compliment woman. Nothing difficult just say 'you have a nice xyz' and keep walking.
Then you can go indirect with 6's and 7's with similar openers like 'hi, i just have to tell you i like your xyz' - like Yad is doing. Meaning you just do the same as before but you stop the girl and try to keep the conversation going.
And finally you can go direct.

I didn't managed to ask many people for time and stuff because I feel weird going from one person to another asking the same stupid questions. And having a pause between asking takes just too much overall time.

But to sum it all up it's all about creating memories of you talking to strangers so you won't feel anxious in the future since you've done it many times before. Rinse & Repeat.

PS: I've found that running after the girl is essential since you get out of your head for a few seconds(try it, just start running for a few seconds and you'll notice it).
Also don't waste too much time. If you wont approach within an hour just go home. You'll have plenty time to practice.
Awesome thing to get you into 'state' is to listnen daygame podcasts on mp3 player. I'm always laughing at conversations there. Also some audio stand-up comedy can do the same thing(haven't tried it yet). Music doesn't do it for me.
Read daygame stories section in cafe forum. There are few journals that you can relate to so you won't feel that you are alone in this and that you are the only one struggling with this.
Get a part-time job where you have to talk to strangers and you have to initiate the conversation. Like taking polls and such. You'll have a reason to stop and talk to strangers so lster it will feel like nothing. You won't think about it.
Get a wing.
a) someone who is experienced and who will concentrate on helping YOU - tell him that you need help.
b) someone on your level so you can compete with each other(if it's in your nature). On the flip side you can end up both doing nothing(happens a lot of times) discouraging each other to action.
c) pay some professional to teach you or go to the bootcamp. In UK you have many options.

I personally know that approaching is nothing hard(I've done a few of them on the street a year ago but not alone and not during the day). I know it can be done and how to do it but it's just not part of my reality right now. So knowledge won't help you here. You just have to stop thinking and do it(I myself too). Which for me is like trying to climb Mt. Everest in shorts because I'm like Andy, too analytical

Maybe someone else can bring more light to this..

See Paul Janka. He's style is solely based on short interactions. 90 seconds to 2 minutes max. He's game was developed for busy New York so it's understandable. He also says that in longer interaction you can only destroy it by saying something stupid. He doesn't do i-dates. But he gets results. He gets 15 number per day so if you close like this just 3 girls the chance of getting together are really low. With 15 number atleast 5 would response in my opinion since the 'market'(how Paul calls it) is bigger.

Listen to podcast #29 where he's the guest.

As Tom said: real world experience = practice. None of LBs are based on real life experiences but rather on some imaginary visions, often  based on things seen on TV, cinema or read over and over again. So with time you'll start to really believe in them. It's normal because it's called 'social learning'. We can't learn so much by hands on experience as we do so we learn from others(people, books, movies...). And if you see or hear some thing twice from different source you'll automatically take it as true and root it deep into your mind. The younger you are when you do this the harder you'll change your mind later. So if all your life your teacher told you that some color is yellow and you'll saw actors in movies call it yellow you wouldn't believe that in reality it's actually blue color. I couldn't change your mind by no means. And that's the problem with LB. They are deeply rooted in our brains and to change them you'll have to experience many contraindicating facts. It's like The Matrix movie. It took some time to convince Neo he's whole life was just a virtual reallity.

So back to your question: first you have to open your mind to the level that you can admit/accept that what you've believed your whole life isn't true and you have to want to be convinced that in reality it's otherwise. Second thing is you have to experience situations where what you believed so far reveal as not true. So we're back to more practice.

Best thing is hands on experience but watching others experience the real thing in front of you is also helping. For example you have a LB about approaching a girl on the street. If you go out daygaming with other guys and see them actually do it before your own eyes your LB can be destroyed in secionds.


PS: red blue black purple green

reading this causes your brain to conflict your logical and creative(left and right) hemispheres because colors and their names are deeply rooted into your mind.

Where can I get it? 
Andy I know you had it on your podcast. Could you upload it somewhere?
