Cernan,
The opposite sex can definitely be intimidating!
To build your confidence, you'll need to get some target practice in. :)Enlist a wingman/wingwoman in the beginning if it helps.
Step 1: Smile at a cute girl on the street. Once you've mastered this skill, move to...
Step 2: Smiling and saying hi to a cute girl in a more conducive setting for conversation such as a grocery store, bookstore, coffee shop.
Step 3: Smile, say hi and ask a question.
Step 4: Smile, say hi, ask a question, continue conversation.
Step 5: Repeat step 4 and ask for the number.
Step 6: Repeat step 5 in a social environment like a bar, a party...
Step 7: Repeat steps 1-6 with a girl you're interested in such as the redhead.
Also be sure to start working through the tools of the program. The first few sessions will give you strategies to combat negative self-talk.
Good luck! Hope this helps.
