Hey guys,
So, recently, I've been reading a lot of the stickied LR's on Girlschase. And I realized among other things there is one HUGE difference between myself and those guys. They literally could not give a fuck about what happens in any given situation with any given girl. When I read the LR's, it seems to me like the whole date or the whole interaction is like a game or a joke to them. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them told me they cared more about what's for dinner than they did about the actual outcome of the date.
Me personally? I feel FAR more outcome independent now then I did 2 or 3 months ago. So I'm making progress. But still, every time I go on a date, I feel to a degree like I want this workout. Again, less so then I did before, but I'm still not at a level where I "couldn't care less" like the mentality a lot of the guys on the stickied LR's have. I kinda get stuck in the moment and think "Oh, she seems so great". As soon as that happens, I end up being timid, not hitting escalation windows, not taking risks, being indecisive etc. I wouldn't go as far as to say that I feel anxious, but it does result in just coming off as "boring" and "normal". Which of course in turn, often loses me the girl.
On a related note: For things which are "outside social norms" such as Chase framing, opening direct, inviting her home on a first date, and overcoming LMR, I feel kinda uneasy/ anxious, even when I actually don't care for the girl.
Ex. The other day, I was out on a date with a girl who looked far less attractive IRL than in her Tinder profile. It was a deal breaker. So I knew from the start that I wasn't sleeping with her and there would be no second date. I went on the date anyways just to practice. And I noticed that I still a hard time Chase Framing cause it just felt "wrong" to say that to girl. And it feels like I would have felt the same way had I attempted to do any of the other things I listed above.
Any advice on developing outcome independence? And on being decisive/confident about breaking social norms.
