Open Log: No Approach=Nothing to learn

Went out last night and did not attempt to open one set. Felt very self conscious all night. Everytime I thought about approaching I froze and thought only about being rejected.I felt intimidated by the high level of energy by sets and when I saw a HB10 all I could think of was how beautiful she was and just ogled.

On reflection, what I should have done given my low energy was:
1) Talked myself into just opening without having any expectations.
2) Set clear goals beforehand (e.g. open four sets only)
3) Persuaded one of the women I was hanging out with to be my pivot and get her to open for me.
In other words I didn't adapt to my state of mind, neither did I make an attempt to change it. Part of the problem may have been that the women I was hanging out were part of a larger group and when I made attempts to warm-open these I got very little hook. This sunk my energy a little.
So even if I am not in the mood, I should practice some part of pick-up so that I can get more practice.
