Socializing Nervous To Approach *[After Covid]

[MuST0BtA1NSkR1Lla]

Hey gents,

I’ve been back to going out, Covid 19 August and life seems to be getting back to normal.

With whatever is left of the year of PUA, *[At this point I did mostly discard the idea of PUA this summer in a previous thread] I want to get back into it.

However I am having feelings that I have not had in literal ages. Stuff like fear of approaching *[Covid 19 has me super nervous about touching other people atm] and having conversation are things that are starting to feel foreign to me.

I did two approaches but when I went for an actual touch they shrugged off.

I have been getting IoI’s. And my city has also recently introduced Ubur and Lyft which has been a blessing.

Does anybody have some lines etc? Andalso has anybody else have some good kino pointers for after covid?

Very tempted to start trying online game.

Thanks
MuSTO

It’s normal to feel nervous to approach after a while. In my case it takes 3 weeks to get back my previous momentum.

Opener is different because of mask to mask scenario, however I found fist bump from Skills work best.
I think non verbal openers work better than normal opener because mask make voice projecting difficult.

For kino pre-corona I’m only consistently getting light touch. The process is after opener:
- Make her laugh
- 2 small compliance (I used handshaking and moving her)
And you can start touching her (incidental touch), holding hands (this depends on country - working well in Asia but not the States), hips (working well in the States but not Asia).

I've been using the lack of shaking a girls hand or giving her a hug as a way to be humorous. I usually say "I would shake your hand but given the current situation we'll just pretend . . . " and then I do is as a mime and may even pretend to kiss the back of her hand like the 1940's greeting. While I'm doing this I maintain eye contact and keep smiling at her.

Another one I use from time to time is to do a mime a "doff of my had" to a lady.

This is actually a great opener across a room if you've got eye contact with her. This is quite an old traditional thing in UK/England but may not work in all countries but it is fairly universal. It's even better if you wear a hat but that depends on your personal style.

Both of these usually works well as long as you have "confidence" and smile when you do it.

Approaching is still no issue for me but I was hesitant about touch as well. Well I have decided to be less apprehensive about touching because I see it as key. After a half year Im kinda fedup with the restrictions. Doesnt say I throw everything into the water but I will not allow the world to force me to become asexual. I did get laid during covid (not much) and I am pretty sure even that would not have happened if I forced myself to obey literally everything. My own wellbeing is important too.
