Ok so this is a field report and I need advice too.

I approached a couple of sets last night but that was about all. I still have bad approach anxiety and I felt really out of state as well.

I approached this one set which went like this.

Girl A: Do you have a lighter?
Me: Sure but it's not free. You have to answer a question.
Girl A and Girl B: Sure what question?
Me: So if a magician could turn you in to anything, what would you be? Don't say princess.

I saw this somewhere and instantly liked it. I use it a lot and then usually do a cold read from the answer.

Girl A: I'd be a transformer.
Girl B: I'd be a beef and horse radish sandwich on rye bread.

These answers threw me completely as they were easily the most bizarre answers I've ever had, and I ask this question a lot.

I laughed and said that they were crazy with a smile on my face and we talked a bit more. Then girl A left to go back in the club but girl b stuck around for a minute just talking before leaving.
I realise at this point that I should have transitioned in to a story with and opinion element or shown her a mind reading magic trick (I occassionally use magic in my game as a dhv because I like doing it).

I know where I went wrong with that set and can now correct the situation.

I want to ask how did you guys get over your approach anxiety. I feel like I could use someone to push me as I always do better when it's almost like a competition but I don't have a wingman.
