How to Escape a Dry Spell/Cold Approach Apprehension?
Late last year and into early this year, I felt like I was having the most success with women I have ever had (27M). I have a spreadsheet (I like data) of all of the numbers I have collected and what the result was. I have recieved about 73 numbers from cold approach in various locations including bars/clubs and in public places. After about March, for some reason, my game has taken a nosedive. I am apprehensive to approach in clubs (which I used to be good at) and much moreso during daygame, but I can't pinpoint where things have gone wrong. Are dry spells like this normal?
I really want to work on my daygame because it seems from my limited experience, that has been the most successful. Bars and club texts usually go unanswered, and while I've had a lot of success in that scene, I've had a much more positive experience actually getting dates from daygame (percentage wise), albeit my dataset is small. Last year, I started a job at a hospital connected to a University. I usually go to the campus cafeteria for lunch (so does a lot of the hospital staff), and I decided to do some approaches last year both during my walk and in the cafeteria itself. I only approached about 10-12 women in total, but I got 4 numbers, and two of them I went on dates with. After turning 27, for some reason I feel like I have totally aged out of that scene. Logically, one year doesn't make a difference...but I can't shake the feeling that someone is going to call me a creep or make a scene, or other people within earshot will have an issue. The age ranges of these women are all over the place, although the two girls I took on dates were 18 and 20, and seemingly had no issue with my age. Is the online perception just way different to how things are in real life? I feel like I had so much confidence last year, and now I just have so much apprehension.
When you're in a dry spell, how do you break out of it?
