    Great Post, sure helped a lot, I need to work more on warm up sets, I should I guess just relax, because if I pressure myself too much, I wont do it... the three second rule, isn't really counting, its more like "GOOO!!!" without thinking too much...

    Cheers

    Hey Arsalan.. Yes.. generally I see the best results from my students from warm up sets above everything else! Good point on the 3 second rule (btw I hate rules) it's about taking action and saying something. The idea originally is that if you hover near a girl longer than 3 seconds without saying something she knows you have an agenda and it can make it more difficult.

    If a girl does catch me staring.. and I will admit this HAS happened.. then I can recover by saying something like, "Hey it's weird but I could have sworn you were my friend Jessica, but she lives in San Francisco.." then roll into something else. Usually I do what I call the Columbo (named after the detective in that old tv show) where I roll off, and then re-engage the conversation. Just watch a few episodes and you'll know what I mean. It's his classic way of confronting the villain. I found myself doing that years ago, and afterwards I noticed that Mystery was teaching bodyrocking in and out of set.. veeeerrryy similar. Just my way of doing it. It's like a non-verbal false time constraint.

    One of my biggest sticking points was "knowing what to say"
    canned openers and routines helped me out alot and still do.
    Another great point that I often forget is visualization. visualizing successful interactions certainly help me combat anxiety.
    Rocking article dude. would be great if you could expand more of the Newbie Drills.
    I know for damn sure some of my friends need that

    Cheers Blade.. I've also found that certain NLP anchoring exercises are excellent. Really this is very similar using your intent to have a focused meditation. Can help tremendously with boosting mood, reducing anxiety, being able to brush off negative responses, and triggering the right kind of state for meeting women when in field.

    Great to see your interest in Newbie Drills.. as I just happen to be working on posting an article or two about this very subject! Thnx again.. J!
